fore has successfully negotiated the

play, raced Jess SWeetSer, and boD- py Jones was bracketed with Fay Soleman. California's second repre- sentative among the survivors.
 The younger generation proved again that golf matches cannot be won by reputation alone. The quail flying rounds shot holes through the ranking list and the destruction left undone then was accomplished in the first two rounds. Today Bop Jones was the only seeded" player left.
 To insure some worthwhile matches in the latter stages of the competition and prevent the stars killing each other off early in the game Jones, George Voigt, George Won Elm, Dr. o. F, Willing, John Goodman, Francis Ouimet, George T. Dunlap, Jr., and T. Philip Per kins were scattered through the draw, we'll separated by compara- lively unknown but ambitious play CTS
 The apprehension over the good players wrecking each other was premature. There were others ready and willing to cut down the field regardless of past performances.
 The black browed Maurice Mo Carthy, Jr., son and nephew of well known professionals, and the blonde l9 year old Charley Seaver, son of Everett H. Seaver, member of the executive committee of the United States Golf association, were the giant killers of the first day.
 Mccarthy had to work hard for his triumphs. Watts Gum carried him to the 18th hole and he had to travel 2S holes, a new marathon record for the championship, to de- feat George Won Elm, former cham plon. Seaver tossed Voight out of the competition by defeating him two up and one to play. Mccarthy had to play one early morning hole to qualify. making his total for the day 4S.
 Bobby Jones played a fine round against Ross Somerville, Canadian champion, and won five up and four to play. He played a poor round against Fred G. Hoblitzel, another Canadian, but the Toronto veteran was worse and the triple champion won again in the afternoon by his morning score.
 The thrills of the day were all packed into the battle between Me Carthy and Won Elm. Mccarthy was one up coming to the home hole but was weak with approach and Won Elm holed a good putt tc square the match.
 Mccarthy had chance to wir the goth hole but took three puts and half resulted in sixes, one over par. Von Elm then had his chance at the short Fist but thi. time 1t was the westerner who took the three butts and the match wen, on. After that every hole was nay. ed in par or better.
 Mccarthy got break of the game on one of the many halved hole. when one of his slightly misdirectet shots hit a woman and rested in better position than might hay, been the case if there had been nt interference. but he earned his vic tory at the close.
 Both players were weary and hag gard as they drove to the 335-yar, hole from a tee high in the woods
 Thousands of excited spectator lined the rough and encroached oI the fairways. Won Elms drive wa straight and almost in front of tn green. Mccarthy followed with great shot that struck the groun, and bounded among the over zealou spectators.
 As the crowd scattered, a ma, almost stepped on the ball. a nea accident which would have prove, fatal. Big boned, gray matched Flu gene Mccarthy, uncle of the youn star who is professional at a Colum bia, S. C.. golf club, rushed in an stood guard over the ball.
 George sent his approach withi a dozen feet of the cup and mad a par four certain beyond reason able doubt. Maurice then took hi mashie niblick in hand and with perfectly executed pitch and ru shot brought the ball at rest a fe' inches, eight at the most, from tn cup. It was what the pros ca "ytiff."
 Won Elm had to sink his lon putt or be removed from the cham pionship on the first day for tn fourth time in four years. His ba would have gone in if it had take one additional revolution. But it di not roll over. He conceded McCar thy's putt. Mccarthy could hay kicked it in the cup.
 Willing. the fighting dentist fror Portland. Ore, was the first star t fall, going down before Lawson Lii tie. San Francisco, 1 up after 2 holes. Little in turn was eliminate by Romans.
