 representing every gDlfing nation of the world will start the seventy two hole finals for the American open championship.
 officially the winner will be cham pien of the United States, but in the minds of many he will be considered holder of the worlds golf title, for victory will be obtained only through defeat of champion club swingers from all sections of the Universe.
 Twenty four men won their way in to the finals in todays qualifying round, Robert McDonald the long driving Chicago professional leading the field with a score of 72-71-l4S. The score necessary to qualify was, 152. All of the better known stars qualified except A. A. Armour, Scot tish amateur title holder and Fred die Mcleod, the Washington, D. C.,. professional who formerly held the open championship. Arm0gr could not get bis approaches to the green, talk ing S61. while Mcleod could not get his butts into the cup and ended with a total of 154, two strokes too many to get in.
 Four amateurs were in the list of todayis successes, Willie Hunter, for mer British champion, leading the way among the non professionals with a score of 75-70-145, while Harrison R. (Jinny) Johnston, St. Paurs brilliant young shooter, took three strokes more. Dewey Weber of Chicago, also 14s, and William Rautenbusch, an- other Chicagoan, were the other ann ateurs to qualify, making the total for the three days, thirteen.
 For time 1t looked as if rather high scores would get by, but grad ually the totals became lowel, until it was found that there were seventeen men under the 150 mark, where there were only 13 Monday and 14 Tuesday. Willie Hunter spoiled the hopes of the players with 153 and 154 when he shot the afternoon round in par 70, his 145 being all that was necessary to push out those beyond l52.
 Bob MacDonald's golf at times bor- dored brilliancy, but at others falling down on opportunities to break par total. His driving was the best seen here in many day, not even barring Abe Mitchelrs drives of 299- 300 yards carry were frequent and they went ab- solutely straight.
 It was on the greens that MScDon- aid got into most of his trouesse On many holes he made pars' easily and would have had birdies had few long puts gone in instead of uimmiug the cups.
 Paired with Pat O'Hara of Rich mond county, New York, they drew the biggest gallery of the day. O'Hara after some very bad holes in the morn Ing and early afternoon, pulled him self together with some great putting putting having been his weakness at the start-and ended with 147. Four of the qualifiers turned in par seventies in one of their rounds, the quartet being Ned McKenna, of Roch- ester, \. Y, Willie Hunter, George Kerrigan of White Beeches. N J.. and P. O. Hart, of Marietta, Ohio.
 Eddie Towns, of Shanncpin. Pa. brocg.ht in n in the morning and handed the card in to the score keep e without telling anyone he had made the lS0-yard thirteenth hole in one This IS the first time a hole has been made in one in an American tou~- nament although Jock Huitchison did 1t in the British open tournament d year ago and followed with a two on par four hole.
 Freak playing figured during the day, one of the most unusual shots coming when Willie Hoare holed l nibhk from sand trap on the 18th Chick Evans made almost identi. cally the same shot 2. few days agC and at the time remarked that it pro. bably would not be repeated by him. self, fer at least ten years.
 The most amusing play of the da, came when Bill McQuire, Chicago am Rteur, and formerly western conferenc, golf champion. sliced his drive on tn. sixteenth into barn at the side o the fairway. The ball rolled in tn, door and when McGuire came up h. found it under a horse, one of tn animals hind legs creating stynie After some persuasion. the horsl moved over and Bill tried to pitch i out through a window. The window was too small and Mcclure >finaIl, resorted to a couple Of butts bacl through the doorway, finally totalllni eight on the par four hole.
