Mccarthy Again Is Favorite.
With all prominent golfers of the city
safely in the first fight as a result OF
an unprecedented low scoring spree in
the qualifying round yesterday. the first
and second rounds of the Washington
Golf and Country Club Spring golf
tourney today were expected to find
Maurice J. Mccarthy. jr intercollegiate
golf champion, in the semi-finals.
Mccarthy is installed as a favorite to
annex the tourney he won last year by
reason of his par-shattering card Of 10
registered in the medal round yesterday
to lead his nearest competitors by four
shots. Grouped behind him at "a were
DR.. l.. s. Otell of Indian Spring. Rich
ard Wilson Of PinehurSt, N. c., and H
John HeimenZ of Lancaster, Pa.
The scores of "a made by Otell and
HeimenZ stood up most of the day, for
Mccarthy did not start until late, and
finished his round at $50 last night. He
literally blazed his way around the
course. picking up four brides in his
round to finish one shot under par. At
the fourteenth tee he had par for a
68, but he dropped strokes on the four
teenth, fifteenth and eighteenth to reg
lister q 10 and set new competitive rec
ord for the Washington course.
Scores of 10 were the last to qualify

80 we're drawn out Of the fifth flight
