Habit is. good or bad, a desire on the

IL at Columbus, Ohio, Thursday,
where the National open golf tour
nament is being held, three Hoosiers
of five qualified entries were among
the select scorers
John (Jock) Collins, who spends his
time daily leading the destinies of
theN Kokomo Country Club players,
chalked UP a score of " for the first
eighteen holes at Columbus. That
o was only two above Robert
Jones, British open champion, and
of the favorites to take the
national meet. Jones shot 70, or TWO
under par. Bill Melhorn, with a 68.
had a lead of four on Jock as today's
play started.
George Stark, pro at Coffin. and
Wally Nelson, pro at Pleasant Run,
shot golf Thursday that placed them
in the "creditable game class. They
tailed sos.
1t was mentioned in this column
Tuesday that u atwo municipal
court tutors were able to WELD the
irons and woods, and from all adj
vance dope about Scioto and it's
rough, the score of 80 is not bad.
Mcdonald Smith scored a II, and
Gene Sarazen, former title holder,
a IS.
AL Watrous, runner-up to Jones in
the British open, also shot so.
Leonard Schmutte, FIT. Wayne
Country Club pro, and Indianapolis

an auto caravan business trip today.
Several members Of the Highland
Golf and Country Club, where the
western open tournament is to be
played the last week in August, left
today in autos to go to the national
open at Columbus.
Looking over the list taking the
trip one might infer hat they were
going to see the experts play the
game they are so much interested
in, but that is not it.
Highland wants to dish out the
best golf that is possible to the local
public and that cannot be done with
out the best players here. So, the
players at Columbus are going to
receive some personal invitations.
Today the caravan was to stop at
Springfield, Ohio, where a team
match was to be held with the
Country Club team there.
