RAY HOLDS TITLE.
The United States Association tro-
ply, competed for since 1884. Is at
present held by Edward Ray, OF Ok
hey, England. Ray was fortunate In
] his Invasion with Harry Vardon at
Cleveland last summer. The United
States trophy was won once before In
1900 and by Harry Nardon. Nardon
and Ray once afterward made an as
sault in 1918, but were beaten off by
Francis Ouimet, the Massachusetts
amateur. at Brookline.
"Ths center of attraction here,
however, will be "Jock the Hutch"
and his famous British trophy.
Interesting news from New York
today is the announcement that post
entries received for the tournament
will run the entry list up to 1872, which
will necessitate splitting the field in
| the qualifying round. The pairings
will bring fifty-eight pairs into &C
ton on Tuesday and fifty-eight pairs
on "Wednesday.
1T is more or less unfortunate that
the open tournament requires no pre-,
vious record for entrance. A glance
at the names is sufficient TO elimina.c
at once, some fifty players, who, be-
cause of inability to class. will prob,
ably fail to turn in cards.
Mcleod SAYS IS.
The main fact remains, however,
that with more than 100 of the very
best players in the country. the go.
ing will be unusually fast. Specula-
tion continues upon the scores neces-
sary to qualify. Freddy Mcleod, just
in from England via Glen Eagles, st.
Andrews and other golf and poker
points, is of the opinion that seventy
eight will be necessary to get in
the selected seventy-two players who
will compete for the honor after
elimination.
Mcleod is enthusiastic over his trip
to England with the professionals. He
looks unusually fit, has taken on
bit of weight and boasted of won
derfully easy trip coming home. He
is undecided as to whether he will go
to Shawnee on Thursday to play in
the pro tourney there. Mcleod is
loud in commencing the way the
tournaments are conducted in Eng
land and of the treatment received.
Pairings for the tournament are
announced today by the U. s. G. A.
committee in New York.
PLAY will open with a two-day quail
fying round, July 10 and 20. On the
first day. half of the field will play
an eighteen-hole round and the sec
