OPEN GOLF TOURNEY
WILL LAST A WEEK

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, June 30.-Because of
record entry list. Of more than $50
players, the United States Golf Asso-
citation has decided to have four in
stead of three qualifying days for
the American open golf champion
ship at Inwood. Long Island, thus
extending the title event over the
entire week of July 8.
Under the revised plan. the field
will be divided into four sections,
each containing about ninety play
ers, for thirty-six-hole qualifying
tests, July 8 to II, inclusive.
The championship, seventy-two
holes, will bel played on Friday and
Saturday. July 13 and IA.
Some adjustment of the number of
qualiflers permitted each day will be
made, but as yet 1t has not been
definitely fixed. Last year, with three
qualifying rounds in the title event
at Skokie, the best twenty four
scores and last place ties qualified
on each of the three days for the
championship proper. 1t Is probable
that with four divisions, not more
than the first twenty and ties for last
place will remain in the running.

Graves and Mercur gave the gal
lery as much tennis as 1t could de-
sire in their dashing engagement
During the first two sets every point
was bitterly contested, Graves
counting with backhand returns thai
frequently caught Mercur OFF balance
while the Harrisburg racketer often
summarily ended rallies with shots
skimming along the sidelines.
Neither could gain a decided adVan-
tage in the early part of the open
ing set. but in the second Graves
was decidedly the more accurate In
his work and quickly earned a 81
game advantage. But Mercur fought
doggedly and took four consecutive
games, only TO falter at the finish.
After the initial tilt of the third set
Mercur came back with a vengeance
and went on to victory in rather easy
manner. The point score OF the
match follows:
