PELHAM MANOR, N. r. Sept. 24.- (By Associated Press s.)-All the stars survived the first 36-hole round matches today of the Professional Golfers association championship played over the crooked, undulating, heavily wooded course of the Pel- ham Country club.
 Long Jim" Barnes, the Pelham pro, needed to go only 20 holes to defeat Young George Dernbach of East Providence, R. l. Barnes was two under par for the 25. Dernbach was in trouble on nearly every hole. Gene Sarazen, 1922 champion, shook off Lloyd Gulckson of Columbus, Ohio, after they had played even for nine holes and won 8 to '.
 Walter Hagen found a sticker in George Griffin of Clearfield, Pa, but managed by some of his superior golf to defeat him and 8. The most interesting match of the day was between John Farrell of Mama 1oneck, N. Y., and Dave Mckay of Pittsburg. Farrell was four down at the end of IS holes, but he cut McCay's lead to one hole on the third nine, evened the match on the thirty third hole and won on the thirty s7ixth with a birdie three.
 By virtue of last minute withdraw aals, Robert Cruikshank, who carried Boby Jones to the last hole of an lS-hole play-off before the Atlanta i4outh could win the open champion fhip in July, and Jack Forester, am other star of the tournament. were allotted places in the tournament and won their matches.
 Willie Ogg of Worcester, Mass. performed the unusual by shooting each of the first Is holes in par. Par for the course Is "A.
