one, it seems you can lay 1t on the
line that no favorite will be elimi.
mated.
The reason? There are no favor
ties left!
A bunch of guys named "Joe" cut
a wide swath through the field OF
81 qualiflers yesterday and the talent
toll was terrific. Ushered to the
sidelines in the most dazzling series
OF upsets in years were the defend
ing champion, two others who had
won the amateur, a former national
open king, the tourney medalist, q
former British amateur champ, four
former rulers of the public links and
four who have won the national COL
legiate laurels.
The boys still in there fighting
come from everywhere. Three are
from New York, two each from
Texas, Canada and Illinois and one
each from Washington, Ohio, Con-
necticut, Michigan, Colorado, Utah
and Wisconsin.
Few Big Names Left.
The sprinkling of "big names" still
in the y-,1yo,,i,,r included IJo wv, IT'D \
OF Dallas. Western amateur cham
pion; c. Ross Somerville, the Cana

John P. Burke of Rye, N. Y, the COL
leglate ruler, and Ray BilloWs of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, f1nalist in the
1887 amateur.
Although last years champion

ley Of Salt Lake City, who lost out a
year ago, romped through a pair of
matches yesterday.
TurneSa, after 5-and-3 win over
Howard Everitt of Oreland, Pa, in
the first round, dropped a 2-down
decision to George Dawson of Chi
cago, the latter firing a 1-over-par
73 at the champ.
GOOdman's Defeat Big Surprise.
Greatest surprise came, however
when Johnny Goodman of Omaha
1887 winner and National Open VIC
tor over this same course in 1888
collapsed on the last two holes to lei
Don Schumacher of Dallas, Tex, in
with a 1-up victory. One UP going
to the seventeenth, Goodman took

both.
Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati. for
mer king of the Simon -pures, ran ur
a Sands win over w. S. Alexander

out could not stave off the second
round surge of Gordon Hummer OF
Milwaukee, and went out, 3 and 2

OF Atlanta, former British amateur
victor, S and 3, in the second round
The field slashes down to four in
today's pair of 18-hole rounds, and
the survivors battle tomorrow in
the 36-hole semiflnals. The 36-

Saturday, and no one around here
Will hazard a guess as to who'll be
in there pitching and putting.
