BY II. G.. Shand,

turned in yesterday. Fans who have
been indulging in racuous laughter
at the thought that 10 would be
cracked on either Tuesday or We'd
nesday will now tell you that IL is
possible. yea. probable that a 6S or
thereabouts will be required to romp
away with the laurel.
For Bobby Jones created a new
championship course record of eS
yesterday morning, the third time
that the record has been smashed
In as many days. The tempermental
Albanian was playing in foursome
with Willie Ogg, the victor at Shaw
nee; Bob|Cruickshank, OF New Jer-
sey' and Tom Armour, the Scottish
crack. Needless to say, he was
shooting golf of the super variety.
Brides on Three Holes.
With the exception of one hole.
Bobby played par golf or better.
On the fifth. he sliced his second
shot into the rough, overplayed his
third to the green. and needed two
puts for six. He made brides on
three holes. the seventh, twelfth and
fifteenth. His card:
Out ......4 443 643 4-35
In ......4 4434 4-35-ss
On a par with Jones' feat was
the record of Pat O'Hara, the dough-
ty niblick- wieldcr from the Rich
mond Country Club. Pat had a SO
in the morning, cquaIing Freddy Nc
Leod's sensational score of the day
before. With Joe Kirkwood, the
Australian 'phenom." he was match

Burke. and Pats spectacular work
was mainly responsible for a Sand .
victory. In the afternoon he went
out with Jack BURKE again, turning
in 40 to Burkes 73. One hundred
sixty nine is 36-hoId record for
the course. Here is Pats card for
the morning round:
Out. 4. 3. ,, s. 4. 4, ?, SIS
In - 4, 4. .. ;. 4, I. ;, ,, 4-34-S9
But there were other 70s yester-
day besides OHaras. John Edmun-
ston had one in the afternon, in
spite of 5 on tho thirteenth, a par
three hole, and three puts on the
eighteenth green. Edmundson drove
the seventeenth green for an eagle
:. Wilfrd Thomson, of the Country
Club OF Virginia, had another. He
might easily have tied Bobbys mark
but for two six-foot puts missed

greens. Orrin Terry. the Chevy
Chase professional. was responsible
for the third 20. Terry Is as for

when not bothered by neuritis. and

the tournament.
Forty 75s or Better.
The class of the play yesterday v
is shown in the fact that over forty
scores of IS or better were turned in
In the morning most of the gall
lery followed the match in which
George Duncan and John Anderson
were paired against Abe Mitchell
| and Jock Hutchison. Duncan was
the best of the four, but the others.
particularly Mitchell, were bent on
sizing up the course and its pecu-
liarities. Mitchell was evidently
trying to find out just how far his
long distance driving would carry
him at Columbia, and consequently
was often in trouble. On the four
teenth hole one OF his ferocious
lunges wound up on No. tee. A
peculiar feature of the match was
the fact that all four had ass at
the end of the first nine. Duncan
finished with a 70, Anderson and
Mitchell with 75's, and Hutch with
rs.
Another foursome. composed of
Freddy Mcleod, Jim Barnes, Orrin
| Terry and Alex Smith, produced
some sterling golf. Freddy pickle ed

The big afternoon attraction was
match between Hutchison and
Smith and Mcleod and Kirkwood
which the former pair won, / up
due largely to Smiths steady WORK
on the way out. Hutch and Ale1
were three u pat the turn, but Kirk

strokes. Mcleod suffered a relapse

before, and played a good many
holes via the rough and under.

shots were not working according
to Hoyle. Kirkwood had a 73, and
Smith a IS.

So Hall gave the darky the price
