similar weather in Scotland, and
Kinder, one of Americas leading young
professionals, piloted their way around
the tricky course in an impressive man.

warts as Willie MacFarlane, last years
winner; Witty Cox. Fred Mcleod, Al
Heron, Felix Serafin and a host of
lesser known professionals and amateurs
failed to score the 81 or better neces-
Sary to qualify for the final SO holes
today. The conditions were nothing
less than vile and the scores made by
the stars were remarkable under the
circumstances.
One stroke back of the leaders came
Densmore Shute, young Columbus, Ohio,
pro and erstwhile amateur, who tied
with Ralph Beach, former Washington
Golf and Country Club caddie, for sec
ond place with 72s. Two shots back of
the leaders was Johnny Farrell, debonair,
black-haired veteran from Mamaroneck,
N. Y, the only man who scored 73.
j. Munro Hunter, gargantuan pro
from the Army-Navy Country Club,
notched "a to lead the pros from the
Middle Atlantic area and tie for sixth
place at that figure with such nation
ally known stars as Horton Smith of
Chicago and Al Watrcus of Detroit.
Watrous is the man who finished a
stroke behind Bobby Jones in the Brit
tsh open championship of 1926. Tied
at rs, well within striking distance of
the leaders, were Tommy Armour, great
iron player from Detroit and former
Congressional Country Club pro; Paul
Runyan, the hkable and meticulous pint
sized pro from White Plains, N. Y, and
Phil Perkins, the business man golfer
from New York, all tied at rs.

Hagen show and combining fine
golf with sloppy Shotmaking, finished

the first hole. But Hagen. whether he
shoots SO or an 85, pulls 'em in. The

natty 'Haig' as he combined miracle
shots with shots of which a dufTer
would be ashamed. His n was a fine
effort, considering the conditions and
his lack of knowledge of the course.
Willie MacFarlane, joking over the
weather and his inability to hit the ball
with Witty Cox, his jocular playmate
from Brooklyn, took SO and failed to
qualify. He won the tourney last year
with total OF 214 for the 54-hole route, |
but yesterday his shots went everywhere
but in the right groove Witty also
failed to make the grade among the 65
pros and five amateurs who were to play
today.

Kinder literally burned up the track
over that rugged par 36 last nine. Out
in mediocre 38 the slim New Jerseyite

the putt in for deuce. He followed by
