golfers are playing with their
backs to the wall today in the
national tourney at Jacksonville,
Fla, in order to keep from fall
ing by the Wayside among the
non-qualifiers for the champion
ship match play.
OF the five local entrants, only
Ted Burrows and Louis Fuchs
seem likely to win their way into
the select field Of 80 qualifiers.
Burrows led the local delegation
in the first round Of play with
IA 70. Fuchs was next with an
80, then came Burton with an
IS, while Sam Parks had an 80
and w. w. Billings brought up
the rear with a 90, having only
one four on his card.
Officials in charge of the
tourney estimated that 162
would qualify. IL Burrows
only holds his own today he
seems certain to get i'm, while
Fuchs must improve at least
two strokes, possibly four
to be ON the safe side,
Only miraculous golf will get
Burton or Parks in. Scores ran
unusually high in the first days
play, only 80 of the field Of 110
having scores Of 80 or under.
Harry T. GWan, Seattle, led the
field with Is, while Bob Vim
gate, Jacksonville, ard AL Quig-
ley, Chicago, tied for second
Brooklyn took the lead in the
score for the Warren G. Harding
team trophy, their total of 81
being seven strokes better than
the second place Pittsburgh out
fit, which was disqualified for
the team trophy, could muster.
The latter lost their ace, Kali
Kaufman, champion for the lass
three years, when officials dis
qualified him because, after pen
alizing himself stroke when his
ball moved while addressing it,
he later was allowed to eliminate
the stroke. Then the u. S. G. A.
officials ruled that his score
could not be changed, so he was
disqualified. He had an 81.

team trophy battle with New
York. each having 335.
Only Arthur B. Thorn, of
Woodmont, was able to bring
! back any of the prize money in
36-hole medal tourney at Bedford
Springs, Pa, of the local trio who
made the trip UP to the noun
tain course. Arthur tied Tor

second with la, while George
Underwood. of Pittsburgh, was
fourth with 146.
Al TredOr, Of Manor, and
George Diffenbaugh, Of Indian
Spring, picked up i'm the
afternoon round and did not
turn in their cards. TredOr
had a 79 i'm the morning
while Diffenbaugh took q IS.
The course is a sporty one,
having six water holes, and its
par 3 fourth hole is called the
hardest one-shot hole in the
country. It is 1877 yards long
with the green lying on the top
| OF a hill surrounded by traps
and woods on either side. Un-
less the bali is hit perfectly it
costs plenty. Eldred, the winner,
required. 9 on it in his after
noon round.
But for a bit OF hard luck
Thorn might have won third
money easily. On the sixteenth
hole of the afternoon round
Thorn hit a perfect iron shot but
the ball kicked badly and came
to rest q Scant nine inches in
front of "a tree. Unable to bring
his club back or hit it out from
! the side, Thorn only got it three
feet from the trunk on his at
tempt. This disturbed his temper
and he took an 8 on a par 5
4 hole. Thorn's rounds were rs
and 70. Par for the course Is IL.
