Evening star., 1925-05-30

The game is so uncertain that it Is
quite possible that some one else, even
one who barely qualified, will win the
years blue ribbon of American links.
but the scores of these three cannot
but command respect for their ability.
OF the several hundred golfers, anna
teur and professional. who sought
qualification at San Francisco, Chi
cago and Long Beach Mehlhorn had
the lowest Score-a remarkable IL
66-l31-at Onwentsia. 1t was no flash
dable competitor for the title for some
time.
Next comes Smith, who, after being
star in the metropolitan district,
long played on the coast and returned
this year to a Long Island club. Two
pairs of 35s enabled him to lead, with
70-70-140. the star field that quail
fed at Lido. In comparison of this
score with Mehlhorn's theagreater diff
ficulty of the Lido course will be con-
sidered. The feat of Bobby Jones in
doing Lido in 71-72-143, with a par
for his last round in a heavy rain that
added sundry strokes to the scores of
other entrants, also furnished ground
for argument. In addition Bobby. the
Incompatible amateur, is far ahead of
everybody in his average strokes per
hole in the open over series of years.
Walter Hagen passed the test at
Lido and, as usual. will probably be
fighting for the title in the last few
holes at Worcester next Thursday aft
ernoon, playing in his carefree style
while other contenders are cracking
under the strain.
The field entitled to play at Worces-
ter consists of five players from the
coast. 80 from the Midwest and 81
from the East. including the cham
pion, Cyril Walker. who did not have
to pass a preliminary test. The best
score on the coast was 75-72-147, by
William /. Hunter.
