ordinarily enough to quality II sup
pIemented with another round equally
as good-are. among others, Jess
Sweetser of New York, former anna
teur champion, and Cyril Tolley, cap
tain of the British Walker cup team.
Eight other Walker cup players
seem to have slim chances to qualify.
The champion of Panama, Edmund
L. Koperski. took "a and is out Of
it. Three Canadians, including the
Dominion's champion, Frank ThomD-
son of Toronto. must have excep-
tional rounds on Monday in order
to remain in the touEnament.
Corkran, a semi-finaist at Merton
in 1916 and a former resident of Bal
timore, smashed the record for the
new Merton course of 6,515 yards,
which hitherto has been par 10 He
made six brides and was over per-
feet figures but three times. He took
IS puts for the round and made six
brides. A bad lie caused him to go
over par once, three puts were re-
sponsible at another hole, and a hook
to a trap was the cause on the third
occasion.
At ether times he was long ar d
straight from the tee and accurate
with irons and puts. Never has his
81 been equaled in national amateur
golf.

Jones Is Out in 35.
Bobby Jones was out in 35, one un-
der par. but slipped a bit coming
home. He scored three brides On
the 523-yard second hole, his second,
with spoon, cornered him to the
edge of the green. and he was in in 4,
missing an eagle by less than an
inch.
His worst hole was the eleventh.
where he got 6 after driving to
rough of deep clover. His second
was fooled. and it took him to
reach the green.
He had three one-putt green's, and
never exceeded two.

Has Best Ont Round.
Mckenzie hung up the best score
of the day for the outgoing nine his
"a being under par He had two
brides, used 81 puts, and was over
par on five holes of the round, once
as the result of three puts, and on
the other occasion because of visits
to traps.

Cyril Tolley, the mighty hitting
caption of the British Walker cup
team, was wild with his tee shots.
His AZ for the first nine holes, 6
over par, seemed sto put him out of
1t entirely until he took a brace in
putting and hoIed several long ones
that enabled him to do the last nine
in 81, over par, and just break
80 for the round. Dexter Cummings,
out in 3S, heard of the speed of the
field and managed to finish in 35, l
over par.
Francis Ouimet played steady golf,
and if long puts had dropped for
him he might have broken 20. He
was straight from the tee, usually on
the green in 2 and had puts on
IA green's for brides. AS it was he
took over par for a 75.
GuiIford Does Well.
Jesse Guilford of Boston. needed to
play the last foud holes in even As
to get 10, but slipped bit from
what otherwise was almost a~hawless
round and took a.
An s by Chick Evans on the
378-yard eleventh hole, which has a
narrow fairway and plateau green
guarded Dy water, cost MIN MS
chances of breaking IS and he took
7S. 1t was this same hole that pre-
vented Bobby Jones from equaling
par. Chick drove into a trap and put
two shots into the water, suffering
two penalty strokes.
George Won Elm of Los Angeles
did well to get rs. having cut his
right hand with a safety razor a few
days ago.
W. /. Hunter of Los Angeles, former
British amateur champion. had his
