FIELD SHATTERED
LIKE SHIP ON ROCK
Snead and Cooper in Shaky
Spots-Pacemakers Go
One Below Par.
BY RUSS NEWLAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


DENVER, June 10.-Shghtly groggy,
but still in there punching, golf's big
wigs and less noted members of the
clan let loose their best shots today
in another bout with par which
brought the national open champion
ship through the second round.
1t was do or die" this day on rib
bon-like fairways and treacherous
green's of Cherry Hills. When the
bombardment ceased nearly two thirds
OF the field was slated to take that
last long trek to the sidelines of the
biggest golfing show of 1885,
The 60 low scorers and ties remained
to fight it out in the last So holes to-
morrow.
Pacesetters Henry Picard and
Jimmy Hines teed off in an easier
frame of mind than many of their
fiye-star compatriots. Each knocked
out first round 70. 1t was one under
par for the mile-high course where
drives travel swiftly to greater dis
tances In the rarefied atmosphere, but
where true placement of shots is more
essential in the compilation Of the
final score.
Snead Shoots Dismal II.
Lean, lank Picard from Hershey, Pa,
clubbed his sub-par effort into the
records with 36-34. Hines, blond and
easy going New Yorker, reversed the
figures for the same total.
But where were the post-time
favorite and the defending cham
pion and half dozen other front
rankers who had figured in the pre-
tournament betting?
It's a long story that can be told
quickly. The field that started out
so boldly in yesterdays opening round
split apart like storm tossed ship on
the rocks. In this case there were
no rocks. Bushy grass bordering the
narrow lanes of cut turf, yawning
caverns of sand dignified by the name
OF traps and few watery graves scat
tered around the course fulfilled the
same purpose.
The opening favorite, Sam Snead
OF West Virginia, bobbed up with a
dismal II, but was still able to smile.
He may or may not be among the
select so after today, depending on
how many strokes he lops OF the
first-round score.

Pending before the Board of Fi- nance and the Board of Aldermen is request of the registrars of voters for a canvass of Waterbury voters, sought since the first of the year by Republican group in the board of aldermen. Support for this enter prise was voiced vigorously last night at the meeting of the Inde- pendent Democratic Club which al- so called upon the Waterbury ex- a-ordinary grand jury, now in re- cess, to investigate the last election. at the same time recommending that the recanvass be made.
 Charges of irregularities were con- tained in statement of the clubs officers last night as follows:
 "It is the belief of the Independ- ent Democratic Club that the coali- ton ticket would have won the last election by several thousand votes If only those who were legally on the list were allowed to vote.
 There has been padding of the voting lists and this has gone on for the last eight or nine years This padding was responsible for the treacherous, double-croSs of Gormley by the present Democratic leaders.
 This should be investigated with out delay by the grand jury now Investigating city affairs. The club expects that all this will be exposed when the grand jury makes a com plete probe of the last election"
