T VOR|TES LEAD
FOR AMATEUR
GOLF TITLE
Bobby Jones and Chick Evans
Picked to Win in Final 10
Holes of National Play.
By ROBERT e. HARLOW,
international News Service,

FLOSSMOoR COUNTRY CLUB,
CHICAGO, Sept. 17.--Bobby Jones,
of Atlanta, national open champion,
and Chick Evans, of Chicago, for
mer holder of both national anna
teur and open titles, were favorites
to win medal honors in the qualify
ing round of the national amateur
championships when the final
eighteen holes were played today.
Jones and Evans played the first
round Saturday in rs strokes, a
shot worse than the score of Bot
Gardner. A field of 121 starters
trailed these three stars.
Today's play will determine the
thirty-two players who will qualify
for the championship to be decided
at match play starting Tuesday. 1t
was estimated that scores of 100 or
better for the thirty-six holes OF
medal play would be required to
qualify.
Saturday thirty-four contestants
did eighty or better. Practically
all of the known stars played well
enough, so that good rounds today
will win them places in the match
play. Jesse GuilforG. of Boston
who won the title two years ago,
took SO Saturday and needed d
good round today.
Jess Sweetser. New York, present
champion, and Francis Ouimet, Pos
ton, each took eighty strokes. They
could not afford to make many
mistakes today.
The Flossmoor course was faster
today than on Saturday, and lower
scores We're expected.
