qualifiers ranged up to 1872. The
low "a were to qualify but they
make it q.
Chick" Evans, of Chicago, who
probably has held titles more often
than any amateur in the world,
came two strokes of failing to
qualify when he went off his game
in the first afternoon nine and took
Az eight over par. He pulled him
self together in the final nine shoot
ing a 35 against par SO and this
with his morning 70, gave him 15l
and placed him near the bottom of
those in today's play who will go
into the finals.
Tomorrow and Wednesday new
fields will go out with the low "a
and ties for "a the qualifying for
the finals.
Most of the morning scores were
rather high because of a heavy
rain last night.
When Hutchinson went out in
his morning round, he had only a
small gallery, nearly every one fol-
lowing the Barnes-Evans play. But
when the news of Jocks 81 spread
around he Immediately became the
attraction and contrary to tradition,
in the second round repeated his
wonderful morning play.
In his thirty-six holes Jock hung
UP one eagle, nine brides, 81 par
holes and was over par five times.
He started out by topping drive
and then going into trap for SIX
on the par four first. The rest or
his morning round was just one
perfect spot after another, none OF
them spectacular, but each a mas
terpiece. Approaches went dead
to the cup, drives were straight to-
ward the flags and every putt was
true except one of five feet on the
tenth, which trimmed the cup.
Jock made the first nine in par "a
and was three under with 80 on
the second
Jim Barnes, who is defending his
title, played a brilliant game. 1t
was not perfect play, for Jim was
in trouble on nearly every hole, but
his spectacular recoveries kept the
gallery in an uproar. Time after
time he hooked a drive into the
right only to get out with a long
iron shot.
On the twenty first Barnes drive
was on the side Of a bunker in a
patch of sand and behind tuft or
.eavy matted grass. Standing three
feet lower than the ball, Jim came
around with a side arm swipe and
the ball went 215 yards straight to
the green. That was sample OF
the shots he was making all day.
"Chick" Evans, paired with
Barnes, shot a nice 70 in the morn
ing, the last nine in par SO. He had
only a few bad spots, the worst be-
ing a missed 1S-inch putt on the
ninth.
In the afternoon "Chick" pulled
himself together after a bad start
and made his 35 on the second nine
despite an out of bounds drive on
the thirty-sixth. Chicks collapse
and recovery in the afternoon was
perhaps the strangest exhibition
ever given by a famous golfer. His
only comment was IT just couldn't
get 'em right for while"
The second batch of would-be
uualifiers will go out tomorrow.
Among those who will pay are
Walter Hagen, of Detroit, present
British open champion, who will be
paired with George Duncan, tied
for runner-up to him in the British
open: Gene Sarasen, of Pittsburgh,
who shot &C in practice round;
Bobby Jones, Jr., of Atlanta; Leo
Diegel, of New Orleans; Jesse Gull
ford, OF Boston, national amateur
