Commission was wrong then, and
that the mistake should not be re-
peated.

pare its own estimate OF the valu-
alton. and Commissioner Cuno II.
Rudolph informed him that 1t was
always done. william Nick. Clay

Mass, September S.-Team play for the American golpher trophy-an annual competition in which many of the contestants in the national amateur golf tournament engaged today ended in tie. A best ball of 69 was scored by Jesse Sweetser and J. G. Anderson, Siwancy Country club, Mount Vernon, N. T.. and by w. w. Reekie and r. E. Dyer, representing tho Upper Montclair, N J. Country club. They will play off later on a z neutral course near New York, for the trophy, which was won at St. Louis last year by Jesse P. Guilford and Francis Ouimet of Woodland. The latter did not compete today.
 This foursome play was indulged 5 in by nearly one-half the players who are pursuing cbampionsnip hopes. It developed individual per formances over half the Is hole route better than any turned in yesterday.
 To the players generally this was . further indication that the re- sumption tomorrow of the medal play : for qualification. In which today was an inter1ude between sessions of IS holes each. would be marked by im- proved efforts.

the amateur classic and open to any two entrants in the field who claim the same club as their golfing resi- dence, produced a high quality of foursome play.
 Bobby Jones and Richard Hickey. considered as strong material as any club combination in the field, passed the opportunity to exhibit another trophy in the Atlanta Athletic clubs elaborate club house, contenting themselves with seeing the sights of historic Boston.
 Of the six pairs who competed from the south, four gave fine accounts, the others returning mo cards" T. Bradshaw and Chick Ridley of At lanta were in the latter class. Like the first day of qualifying, their play suffered setbacks.
 Found Going Bad.
 T. W. Palmer and A. c. U1mer of Florida found the going bad and were out of luck also. The most conspicuous southern figures in the play wereB. W. and D. c. Cock ran, from the Baltimore Country club. They had best ball of II, 3T out and 34 in, and were but two strokes from the low scores of the day. With the continuance of the same kind of play tomorrow in the final qualifying tests each has an opportunity to enter the championship proper On Satur- day B. w. Cochran had an S3 and his brother an S5. Each bettered these figures today.
 W. c. Hunt and George Rotan, Houston, Tex, and A. P. Boyd and Frank Godchaux of New Orleans. playing from Chattanooga. each made 72 low ball, each pair taking 37 out and 35 in. The quartet, with the ex- ception of possibly Hunt, are consid- cred to have good chances to qualify tomorrow. Boyd and Godchaux have 7S's to their credit and Rotan is three strokes better. A pair of 7S's seem the magical figures needed to continue at match play. Nelson Whit ney and Reuben Bush of New or leans were out in "A today, both showing better brand of golf than heretofore.
 Their first qualifying scores were so and s4 respectively. Such a card by Bush Is unusual in any golfing event. He must improve to close to par basis all the way to qualify and Whitney. though not in quite as bad a predicament, has considerable work ahead.
