COMPETITION KEEN
Hot Golf Fight Today in Second Round of Western Amateur Golf Championship Play.

Chicago, July 22.-Competition was keen today in the seconde.lS hole qualifying round of the Western AA- ateur golf championship at the Hinds- Golf club, as 62 players scored better than 80 yesterday in the first round, and only a few of the 151 starters turned in really bad scores.
 While Captain F. r. Carter of Chi cago led the scoring with . round in 34-35-69, he was closely pressed, no fewer than four being within the stroke of him and a dozen others within striking distance of medal honors. ,
 Scores for the first day showed that Chicagoans who have had almost a continuous monopoly on the western title, during the A previous tourra- ments, have plenty of competition this year. James Manion of St. Louis tied at 70 with three Chicagoans for sec ond score, and Frank Dyer of Mem phis shared 72 woth John Dawson and Arthur Sweet of Chicago, there being no scores of Fl.
