K Chicago, September L.
l. Stricken with the taught
ened nerves that seem to
attack most of the competitors in
their first essay at the national
amateur golf championship, both
of Washington's entrants in the
championship were virtually out of
the race today, victims of the
bunkered fairways and keen putt
ing green's of the Beverly Coun-
try Club, where the final qualify
ing round was being played today
Roland r. Mackenzie, star of the
Columbia Country Glib, now an en-
bryo movie director in Hollywood, is the
only Washington contestant with even
an outside chance TO qualify in the
select 80 VINO will start the match play
rounds tomorrow for the Nations title.
And Mackenzie is on the ragged edge,
with his opening round of 10.
John C. Shorey of the KenWood Golf
Club and Thomas P. Bones, Columbia S
stellar southpaw, are both out of the
championship, faced with an impossible
task to qualify today. Both scored sc
in the opening round yesterday and need
to break 10 If they are to have chance
to qualify today. No one yet has been
able to bust 20 on this VANISHED golf
course from the championship tees and,
with Bob Jones out, it is not likely
that any one will.
A GOLFER named Jack Westland,
n who holds the Chicago district golf
championship. and used to hold the
French amateur title, was out in front
as the second round started. Westland
s'1ot himself a neat and form fitting II
in the wind yesterday and If he goes
anywhere near the pace he set yester-
day be will be down in front at the
close of the medal round tonight. For
Westland played that 3,500-yard first
nine nothing worse than 80 strokes,
which is three better than par. He
came home in 80, for 70. but he might
as we'll have been 68 as 10.
Only shot behind him Is the Texas
wonder-the much-touted Gus More
land, who strewed enough shots over
the landscape yesterday to get home in
73-and a shot behind him at IA were
Charlie Seaver, the blond foot ball star;
Francis Ouimet, the Boston idol; Johnny
Goodman. the giant killer OF Pebble
Beach. and the irrepressible Arthur C.
CDucky) Yates of Rochester. Then they
string out all the way up to the en-
veloping 81 taken bv young Winfield
Day of Chicago, the boy who cut such
a wide swath in the tournaments
around Miami last Winter.
Your British cousin Of the mighty
wallop from the tee-none other than
Cyril James Hastings Tollv-is out of
the championship. He gathered him
self an IS yesterday and needs some
thing like SO or 10 today to make the
grade.
George voigt, the erstwhile Capital
tournament winner, Is none too sure OF
qualification after his opening round Of
49, but two Virginia kids, up in the
big time for the first time, are in there
today with a grand chance in their first
emateur championship. They are Billy
Howell of Richmond, the Middle At
lantic champ. and Chandler Harper Of
Norfolk Both of them played we'll to
make opening round scores of rs, and
another round like that today will land
them in the match play.
Chick Evans, Chicago's veteran hope,
is far back with an opening round of
70. Harrison r. Johnston of st. Paul,
the 1929 champion, opened with an 50
and is on the outside unless he shoots
"A or better today. So is T. Phillip
Perkins, the immaculate SHOEMAKER
from Britain, who joined the ranks OF
