forming steadily. had 50 and sc for
the total of 1852. one stroke within
The rest of the Washington golfers
Jared badly Charles n. Agnew, jr
the public links champion. had two
bad rounds for him of 81 and So. nine
strokes too high to qualify. +
Maury Posey was in a good position
with so at the end of his morning
round, but took SO in the afternoon
and was far behind. E. p. Brooke,
captain of the team, had rounds OF
s5-s7 for total of 172, while
round of so in the morning, took 81
in the afternoon. William p Di Este
was another Washingtonian who had
a chance to qualify at the end of the
first round, but went badly in the
afternoon. Di Este had 82-s5 for a
total of 167. w. E. S. Upton, who
was let in at the last minute by the
L. S. c. A, had 80 and 50 for ia
total, while John r. Miller had
S3--SS-171.
Lord Picks Up
william w Lord was around in 90
in the morning and picked up in the

two s4s for a total Of 16s, five strokes
too high NJ A. Shipley was S9-S5--
174 r. H. Brown of Washington had

Sam Graham. Pittsburghs flying
reversal OF form. Graham was
around in ss in the morning and
ELL Peet was all ready to go back
to Pittsburgh with him. But Graham
found himself IN the afternoon and
got around in 10, placing him at the
tail end Of the list of qualiflers.
Failure of Bob White of Chicago
to make the grade was a disappoint-
ment to the many in the galleries
who wished the Windy City lad well.
Young White found things going
badly for him and. instead of buck
ing up and playing his game, let
the adversities of fortune weigh too
heavily upon him, with the result
that he finished with a total of 1sO,
far too high to qualify. Allan F:
the New York Newspaper Golf Club
and the man who beat Oswald
Ktrkby a few days back, was just
out with 165. Poinsette took 5 to
get down from just off the edge of
the the ninth green ,se after after playing a fine
trickled over the edge Of the en-
bankment. Billy Sixty's failure to
qualify also was a disappointment
as many had favored the big Mil
waukeean to go far in the tourna-
ment.
Hest Men Qualify.
But on the whole the best men
in the event made the first 80.
Qualifying rounds over the thirty
six-hole route provide too fair a test
ever to dispute the edict of the scors-
board. Eighteen holes might throw
out a few OF the top-notchers who
failed to get started. but thirty-six
holes Ia too long a route for the good
golfers to lose out. unless, az In the
case of Poinsette. they get careless.
Eight Of the New York team of
fifteen men qualified. while only four
of the Chicago team Of twelve men
made the championship flight
