Surprises came early in the opening
of the qualifying rounds. The first

Exmoor, Pittsburgh, who took six
strokes to negotiate the first hole,
which is a par 8. 1t will take 1872, as
the players figure, for the two days

a few such holes will put the national
champion out of the running. Ruben
Bush of st. Louis, was in front of the
field on the first four holes, playing
the most consistent golf, while Chick
Evans of Chicago, western cham
pion, was within a stroke of Bush.

course. making it possible for the bet
ter players entered in the tournament

better scores in the qualifying round
today than they could make yesterday

Paris, June 26-Dr. Walter Rath-

received a written declaration from
the government that it would fulfill

Today, the selection of a man
to fill the post of foreign minister
made vacant by the assassination of
DR.. Walter Rathenau, presents diff
cellor Wirth. This is not only be-
cause of the dearth of available men,
but also for inner political reasons, as
the question of the realignment of the
coalition is one of the possibilities
growing out of the present situation.
Parliamentary circles believe Chan
cellor Wirth will direct the foreign
office until a man is found who can
not only meet the exacting demands
of the post but who will also have the
approval of the coalition parties.
The friends of DR.. Otto Ludwig
Wiedfeldt, ambassador to the United
States. have already suggested him as
an available candidate, stressing his
qualifications as an economist. They
also believe his previous training in
experience abroad in quasi-diplomatic
posts previous to going to Washington
have given him the equipment neces-
sary for the foreign office position,
especially since the reparations prob
lem and other economic issues have
virtually become the chief features of
the ministrys official routine.
