flNEhuRST, N. c., April l.-When
Jock Hutchison, better known to the
golflns community of this country as
Jock the Hutch, starts his Indian war
dance over the links it generally means
trouble - for his opponents. The
thistie-haired Scot OF the Genview
Club, of Chicago, on the first round
Of tho North and South open cham
plonshfp tournament this morning
played serenely and without ostcnta-
tion and took rs. But having lunched
be apparently felt better and immedi-
atety went on a rampage over the No.
3 course
The faster Hutchison played tho bet
yer nc performed, and at the eighteenth
neie he wound up with a nifty score
or SO. This set new competition
record for the course, which stood at
II. AS a result he is in the lead d~oi
the largest and best field that ever
competed here, running neck and neck
with George Fotheringham, the clever
golfer of the Breton Woods Club, who
was at Richmond COUNTY last year.
Fotheringham played fully as we'll
as his light-hearted rival to score H
total OF LA also, and had he not
bumped into trouble on the sixteenth
/ hole of the second round he would have
been leading the field by himself to
night by a comfortable margin. In the
morning Fotheringham played beauti-
full golf, knocking out II. This score
was even better than Jocks SO, as a
high wind held sway over the links
in the morning.
Falters Near the Finish
Fotheringham apparently WAS we'll on
the way to another par score or better
in the afternoon. At the sixteenth he
stood to play the remaining three holes
in par figures to make an even 70. As
he was breezing along in top form this
looked easy for him, but then the break
came.
At the sixteenth he got a good drive
and fine second shot. This is par
hole. But in playing his next hole, q
mashie pitch, he dubbed it completely
,, He tried again and caught trap. From
there he played over the green and
missed his putt coming back, so that he
finally took T.
Otherwise the former Country Club
star played superbly. His drives were
consistently straight and long. His
| iron shots were mostly played we'll and
his putting was all that could be de
sired. 1t was his work on the SAND
green's, in fact, in the afternoon, that
enabled him to score SO we'll.
Fotheringham has been playing vel
here all week and evidently is right
on his game. He is being favored BY
many to retain his lead to the end But
Jock the Hutch is now the prime favor
lite, for everybody knows that wher
this fellow hits his stride there is nt
holding him. He proved that at Ashe
vile last week, when he ran away from
the field and won cantering with 278
Also Does a Marathon
This afternoon Hutchison was pitch
ing his mashie shots on high and dash
ing up hill and down dale to see if tn,
ball was heading toward the goal. H.
virtually did Marathon along witt
his game.
The spectators had no chance what
ever to keep pace with him, and younl
Charlie Hoffner, his partner, was hare
put to it to keep astride. Fotherina
ham declares he will rope him to-mor
row if he doesn't hold him back Blu
the fact is this Scotch bundle of nerve
is on his way and unless he trips i
Will take some wonderful playing t,
beat him out
Hutchison's record round was score,
over a 6,223-yard course, par for whicl
is II. His card

The O'Hara brothers, Peter and Pat
are next in line in this swift struggle
Peter. of ShackamaNon, playing tin
game Of his life, scored rs in the morn
ing and 72 in the afternoon, for tota
of lat. three strokes back of the lead
ers. There is no gainsaying the fact
Peter performed handsomely to max
this total.
However, the chances of his brothe
Patrick, slighter and lighter, are bette
liked by the followers. Pat at presen
is five strokes behind, with total @
149. But. knowing the steadiness O
the Richmond County Club star, ever.
one here feels that he will be close t
shc top at the finish.
Mcleod Up Near Leaders
Freddie Mcleod, the title holder. j
close TO the leaders, as usual. Thi
midget sharpshooter of the CoIumbi
Country Club, is travelling along a
easily and steadily as he did when h
won the national championship, doze
years ago. The diminutive Washing
tonian went around in rs in the morn
ing, apd in the afternoon took an
, other 70.
Leo Diegel, the fashy little Detroi
star, and Marty OIoughlin, of tn
Plainfield Country Club, are tied wit
Mcleod for fifth place. Diegel playe
we'll up to the greens, but found III
sandy carpets rather difficult to nego
= tiate.
Tommy Kerrigan, of the Siwano
/ Club; Pat Doyle, of Deal, and Jac
Shea arc tied for the next position
each with score OF 1872.
The next batch is composed of Wal
! ter Hagen, j. T. Kirkwood, the Aus
tralian trick golfer; Alex Ross, Emmett
French and Joe Sylvester. Hagen an
Kirkwood accompanied each other an
held the same total. The former wa
wild ard marvellous recoveries slon
saved him from taking a higher scor,
