THERE will be great deal OF luck
attached to the draw and the
necessary byeS, and the for
tunate players may find themselves
avoiding any real tough matches until
late in the championship. However,
there will be only two left when the
final day Of play opens and the fel.
low who can come through a field of
$50 to the championship obviously
will have had something a little more
potent than luck on his side.
This will be one championship In
which 1t will be impossible to predict
the winner. Under the old style of
play, there usually we're four out
standing players among the 81 who
passed the medal test, and u was
fairly safe TO predict they would get
to the semi-finals.
Now It will be the man who can
keep his blades on fire for a full week
without any Slackening of play. Dun
lap, Goodman or Little may have
enough to carry them to the late
rounds or TO ultimate victory. but
the winner easily may be o Fellow
named Joe from Kankakee. That's
the way sometimes 1t has worked out
in great Britain.
The championship this year is in
the nature of an experiment and II
it proves unsatisfactory, the U. 8. q.
A. can go back to the old scheme
next year without loss of face. The
championship at Brookllne will be
interesting for its newness Of style in
American golf and the week should
provide lot of fun for the galleries,
as well as fast golf for the players.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

TIME next piece of business
on our national golf pro-
gram will be the sectional
qualifying rounds for the
national amateur championship
which will be played at Brook
line. Mass, in early September.
Sectional qualification is all that
will be necessary for a place in the
championship field this year. Since,
under the United States Golf ASsoci-
alton plan, the championship will be
entirely at match play, the SO holes
Of medal play which always have
opened the event and reduced the
field to 80 players. have been dis
carded.
The Brookiine Club will closely re-
semble a madhouse until the field Of
$50 has been reduced to 80 or less.
Since all of the early matches will
be at l8 holes it will not take long
to get the majority Of players started
for home. The system is now in this
country. but 1t has been used in
Great Britain for many, many years
and seems to work satisfactorily over
there.
There is some merit to the change
in the system Of playing the amateur
championship. Since the champion
ship is determined at match play,
there never was any good reason for
having the 36 holes of medal play
to open the competition. The open
championship is the supreme test of
medal play and the amateurs have
been demanding that the amateur
be entirely at match play. So the
United States Golf Association ac-
commodated its players. Now we
will see how the players like it. Many
Of them won't.

It's cool, running water is in great

This is probably the busiest time
of the year for the Animal Rescue
League. Always busy, always ready
and anxious to answer any emergency
call to alleviate the distress of any
animal, the Summer seems to be the
time when calls are most numerous.
1t is then that cruel and selfish dog
and cat owners, departing for their
vacations, abandon their erstwhile
pets to die of starvation or to wander
in the streets until run over by some
equally cruel driver. The league
makes a plea that all those who can
not take their pets with them or
board them in some reliable kennel,
bring them to the headquarters of the
Animal Rescue League at IL o street
northwest. Homes, carefully selected,
are found for most dogs. Females
and undesirable males are quickly

The veterinaries announce preva-

tions among dogs. 1t is wise to cut
down on the quantity you feed your
