black haired boy from Hollywood.
n. Y. led the parade Of profess
sionals at Columbia yesterday with
4 nifty 36-hole score Of ia Three
strokes back of the boy wonder Is
j. Fowler Hutchinson. the tawny-
paired Scot. with 147. while hard
hitting Mike Brady and the DELHI
crate Cyril Walker are tied for third
place with $50. Walter Hagen Is a
angle stroke back of this duo.
The big end Of the purse seems to
lie among these five, though in a
test Of this sort. when single
missed putt or an iron shot bit
off the line may spell disaster. there
always the possibility of some
heretofore overlooked prodigy
-rowding his way TO the top of the
list with a display of superlative
golf. - =

Walkers Clubs Missing. -,
Until long after his scheduled
starting time yesterday morning.
Walkers clubs were missing some
where between Pinehurst and CO.
lumbia.. Consequently IT was well
along in the afternoon when he and
Willie Scott, both of them deliber-
ate performers. got under way for
their second round and the moon
was just rising when the pair FINAL
ly holed out on the eighteenth
green.
Back of this pair Is Walter
Hagen. tanned almost to blackness
by the Southern sun. with rounds
OF u and "a. totaling Isl. Hagen
wound up his afternoons per-
formance with a putt which trav-
eled fully a dozen feet before 1t
curled around the rim and dropped
into the cup on the eighteenth
green.
The rest of the delegation must
be reckoned as nearly out of the
fight for the major cut of the purse.
Jim Barnes. after a splendid 20
in the morning. fell off badly after
lunch. and could do no better than
so. A depressing on the fifteenth
hole put an end to any lingering
hopes be might still have enter
tanned.
Kirkwood's Chances Ruined.
The chances of Joe Kirkwood. the
Australian, were ruined almost at
the outset of his morning round.
when two shots out Of bounds gave
him a 10 on the long fifth. He
wound up with an 81, and was little
better in the afternoon when he
needed II.
Freddy Mcleod. after a rs in the
morning. wavered on his second
rotnd. and despite a beautiful three
on the fifteenth. where he hO1ed a
curling 15-foot putt. his total Of 81
was one greater than that of his
partner Barnes
Pat O'Hara. newly crowned Pine
hurst North and South open cham
pion. needed on the fifth in
the morning and thereafter couldn't
seem to get going. His MORN
ing total was so. and despite a IS
Tn the afternoon. he must be reck-
oned as practically out of the run
ming.
The same applies to most of the
other favorites. Fob Mcdonald
with 155. still has a fighting chance
10 finish well up, as has Gene Sar-
azen with 153.
Larry Ayton is right behind the
leaders with 152. and a repetition
of Ms play yesterday will give him
a position somewhere in the money.
Hutch and Farrell VIII Draw.
But interest today will center
almost entirely in Johnny Far
rell and the Hutch. who will
start their battle for supremacy
at 10:25 this morning.
The stage is all set for one of
those old time youth VS.. experiences
battles. Though Jock is not the
badly overgolfed man he was dur
ing the open here last summer
he will need all his wizardry to
cope with this flashy youngster to-
day.
For that youngster is right on
top of his game. Anyone who can
shoot into the confines of Column
bias right of way, with never a va
ration from the line of the pin and
not only chalk up a SO in the morn
ing, but speed on to rs in the
afternoon. is hitting EN- with a
vengeance. Hutch won't need to
he overSclfed to lose this little con-
test
