 Lieutenant Dixon was told upon his arrival at Roosevelt field that Ashcraft had been killed and Miss Gentry had been injured.

 trants Do We'll

Winged Foot Club, Mamaroneck, N. Y., June 2s R-Blaxing the way through gusty wind for the biz field. two sturdy Italian profession ais. Gene Sarazen of New York and Al Espinosa of Chicago. went into an early tie for the lead today with 1le. two under par, for the 36 hole or half way mark of the national open golf championship.
 Sarazen duplicated his brilliant n of yesterday. chiefly because he needed only II butts on the last nine holes, while close behind him Espin- osa came home with par 72 to add to his fine 70 on the first round. Three butts and a bad five on the short 18th cost Espinosa a golden chance to take the lead.
 Squarcly Up to Jones
 These two performances left the issue over the leadership up to Bobby Jones whose sensational 69 led the opening days battle. The At lanta amateur knew what he had to beat as he prepared for his second round after lunch.
 Walter Hagen went to pieces with an s1 for a two day total of 157. The British open champion joined the defending American open titleholder, Johnny Farrell, among the favorites to fall by the wayside. Farrell's S4 yesterday put him out of the run- ming for all practical purposes.
 On the heels of the leaders was Densmore Shutte, Young Worthing- ton (Ohio) professional. who beat par with II after 73 yesterday to totH of IA, even par.
 Chtappetta Does We'll
 Connecticut seemed certain to have goodly representation in the finals when Louis Chiappetta. clever Italian of Hartford, first of the Nut meggers in. coupled a card of 79 with his 7s of yesterday for a gross of 157.
