AS WINNER

PINEHURST. N. c., March "a.
George Voigt, North and South
amateur champion for the last two
years, had an excellent chance to
become the first amateur ever to
win the North and South open as
the field teed off this morning in
the final 36 holes of play in the
historic golf fixture.
In the first 36 the former Wash.
ington, D. c., star piled up lead
of five strokes on Tommy Armour,
former open champion, and Horton
Smith, the Joplin, Mo-, sensation.
Voigt turned in a card of 1S9 and
Armour and Smith each had IA.
Right behind them were two more
professionals-Wild Bill Melhorn with
145 and Billy Burke, the defending
champion, with 14S.
Many of the professionals were
betting this morning that Smith
would win. Smiths mashie and Jig

are Peck will carry Eddie Morgan,
who averaged more runs driven in

Jameson in the sun field late in
the campaign. Falk was secured
in a trade and cash deal with the
