Of them-Roland r Mackenzie ana
Miller r. STEVENSON Of Columbla-are
assured of places in the starting list BY
virtue of the fact that both have quail
fed in recent years.
The others who have submitted their
entries. accompanied by the necesSarF
information which would satisfy the
United States Golf Association that
they have sufficient golflng class To
plav are Harry G.. Pitt. champion Of
The Middle Atlantic GoG Association;
John C. Shorey runner-up To Pitt III

Judged on the past lenient attitude
If the United States Golf Association
toward entrants from Washington. All
Of the last six should be accepted Tor

May Refuse Some.
But weather vane that points the

Of one or more lies in the newly

entrants who have not qualified during
the past three years must submit their
connective records for the past two

eligible to play,
The Washington men who nave no
claim to a place in the starting iist ny
reason of qualification in recent
wears will learn at least two weeks prior
u the championship just what tnelr
fate will be. Inasmuch as the title
chase does not start until september

before thew know whether their appil-
cations have been accepted. In COM

and Shorev were nominated for entry
in the tourney by the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association. The others have en-

Regardless of whether the majority
