slaughter of the stars seems in for q
new record at Oakmont three weeks
hence.
Of course, the psychological effect
will be that of making every man
shoot far better golf in the qualifying
round. Some of the stars have been in
the habit of loafing through the medal
round, not striving too hard, sure that
they would qualify in such big field
as 80. With but Is to make the grade
they cannot afford to loaf and will be
pushing along at top speed to be sure
to get in. For one bad hole can
wreck any mans game and II Is likely
to come any time, particularly in a
medal play round. They will all be
out there on August 81 and September
l trying where they loafed before.
Some Almost Certain.
AS far as such men as Jones. Evans,
Ouimet and Won Elm are concerned 1t
don't really make much difference.
They are about as sure to qualify as IL
is certain the tide will rise and fall.
But for the rest, and this includes
the youngsters like Roland Mackenzie,
Lamprecht, Cummings and a few
others who Ought to have q crack at
the title, they are not so sure. They
have the game to be champion, but
are not quite so steady under medal
play conditions at all times as some OF
the others.
Oakmont will provide one of the big
experiments in golf way. 1t will be
full of disappointment for many, of
qualification for a few, and of a
certainty will either prove the new
method worth while or not.

To many Washington golfers VII.
lie MacFarlane is somewhat of mys-
terry, for few about the Capital ever
heard of the tall Scot who surprised
the world by beating Bobby Jones in
a playoff for the title. To those In
the know Willie MacFarlane is no
mystery, even though he is paradox.
Most professionals regard the win
ming Of major golf tournaments as
the elimination of a lifetime dream.
To MacFarlane they are but incidents
in a career of hard work devoted
to teaching golf, and not particularly
to the playing of the game. Doubt
less that factor has had something to
do with MacFarlane's success, for
golf is game where too much trying
sometimes brings disaster. McFar-
lanes psychology Is considered queer
for such fine player, but it is his.
and he is the champion. Really, how
ever, he does not care much for
champiO0shins alt though he r,l.ys IN,
them as a matter of course.
Now that he has won, he intends to
capitalize his title, for open champion
ships 90 not come every year. He
will be very interesting to watch in
a match scheduled to settle the world
championship.
Barnes is well known to Washing
tonians, for thousands of Capital res
idents saw him win the open here In
