Chairman Speer of the golf commit
tee decided that because of the short
days in October, when the tourney will
be held on the 18th and 18th Of the
month, 1t will not be feasible to play
the usual match play event. So his
committee and himself decided to hold
a 36-hole medal play event. with IL
holes carded for each day. Prizes will
be given for the low gross and low net
on both days of the event, for the most
brides, the most pars and the most
eagles. of which there will probably not
be many.
The record for the course was st at
80 on Tuesday by Walter r. McCa4lum,
who broke the mark of "a held Jointly
by Glenn S. Spencer and Walter F:
Hall by one stroke. McCallum plcKeo

over par twice. The card follows, Win

The entry list in the tournament will
be restricted to about rs players, since
the course is a nine-hole affair and
the time of the october days is too
short to permit large number OF play
ers to play the short layout.

Out Of the first days qualifying round
in the Bannockburn invitation tourna-
ment yesterday came two distinct sur.
prises. The first came early In the day
when Joseph O'Hare, q Bannockburn
veteran who knows every blade Of grass
on the rolling layout at Glen Echo
registered 70 to place him definitely
in the first Night, even while several
others who had been expected to break
80 were struggling around in scores
far above that mark.
OHare played consistent golf, even
in the gale Of wind which swept the
Bannockburn course yesterday and was
one of the six contestants who shattered
the 80 mark on the first qualifying day.
Several of the leading stars of Wash
ington were to start today. and all
were expected to break 80 but O'FIare's
mark is certain to place him In the
t0At flight
The other surprise came on the
thirteenth hole. where N. H. Laden OF
Beaver Dam hit q midiron shot to the
green which bounced around and
finally ended in the cup on this 160-
yard affair. Notwithstanding the ace,
Laden took 90 strokes for the round.
Many other contestants who played the
thirteenth hole would have been glad
for the ace or even par 3.
Three players tied for the lead at the
end of the first days play. They were
Erwin p. Hair of Washington, Martin
F. Mccarthy Of Beaver Dam and Will
liam L. Pendergast, former Bannock-
burn Club champion. All had scores
of II. Pendergast had a great chance
to make certain of winning the quail
flying round when he got out In IS,
which is exactly par, for the first nine
holes. But he ran into considerable
trouble on the second nine, eliminating
in g disastrous on the par four
teenth hole, and took a. to cover the
final nine holes. O'Hare, Page Hufty
and Leo F. Pass were the only other
contestants to break the 80 mark. Re-
cent rains have put the course In flrst-
class condition.

ment for woman players is In prospect
