DISTRICT PLAY
SET FOR MAY II
Carolina Golfers To Qualify
For National Open In
June Al Biltmore
Ry BILL BONI

NEW YORK, April 0.-f9-Sec
tional qualifying rounds for the
1910 National Open golf cham
pionship will be held at 26 points
this wear, compared with 80 in 1889,
the United States Golf association
announced today. The district elimi-
nations, at Sc holes, will be held
Monday, May 27.
1t was felt thai players in the six
eliminated territories either could
seek to qualify conveniently at 9th.
err points, or would be unlikely to
attend the championship proper, to
be played at the Canterbury golf
club, outside Cleveland, June 6-S.
Golfers of the Carolinas area will
qualify at the Biltmore Forest
Country club at Asheville.
The places eliminated IT Hunt
ington, w. Va; Richmond, Va;
Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans and
Houston.
Of the 10 places in the cham
pionship starting fled, probably 1873
will be allocated among the rs dis
tricts according to the size n
strength of their entry. The other
80 will go automatically to the 81
low scorers in last years tourna-
ment, won by Byron Nelson at Phil
adelphia, and the home pro at the
Canterbury C. c., Waldo Crowder.
Among the outstanding players
who will have to compete in the
sectional tests are Ben Hogan, sec
ond-rankin2 player on the recent
ly-completed winter tour, and four
foreign stars-Jim Terrier, Aus
tralian Open and Amateur cham
pion the last two years; Martin
Pose, Argentine Open champion;
Enrique Bertolino, Argentine P. G.
A. titleholder, and Aurelio Castaon-
on, former Argentine Open cham
pion.
Since all of them are expected to
compete in the Metropolitan Open
championship May 1926, it is likely
they will seek their places in the
U. S, Open in the Metropolitan dis,
trict qualifying round. This will
be held at the Mount Vernon Coun-
try club, Tuckahoe, N. Y.
In past years the U. S. G. A. had
a policy of making foreign players
automatically eligible for the cham
pionship. At last January's annual
meeting, however, a rule was passed
leaving such action to the U. S. G.
AS discretion. Since all of the
players involved in this case will
be in this country at the time of
the qualifying it was felt it would
be unfair to the hundreds of do
nestle hopefuls to deprive them of
any places when SO few already are
available.
With the championship being held
in a central location this years
entry may come close to or exceed
the record of 1,402 set in 1887, when
the Open was held in Detroit.
The list of players automatically
qualified through their 1889 per

new BERN NAMES
STREET FOR DARST
Tin Cup Alley To Be Called
Darst Avenue For Epis-
copal Bishop

NEW BERN, Nov. 27.-The Rt.
Rev. Thomas c. Darst, bishop of the
diocese of East Carolina of the Epis-
copal church, is to be honored by
having a street named for him.
At present the street bears the
name Of Tin Cup alley. Most of the
property along the street is owned
by the diocese, as bequeathed in 1893
by the Rev. Edward M. Forbes, then
of Beaufort, a native of New Bern
and a former rector of Christ church
here. The Good Shepherd hospital
for negroes, opened here two years
ago, also is on the Forbes property.
Lots along Tin Cup alley are now
in demand, because of the increas-
ing demand for negro residential
property due to the temporary hous-
ing shortage pending completion of
the negro slum-clearance and hous-
ing project. But some prospective
buyers objected to the name of the
thoroughfare.
Accordingly, William Dunn, attor-
ney for the trustees of the property,
and diocesan representatives agreed
that 1t would be for the best inter-
ests of all concerned as well as the
city to change the name of the
street. City officials approved their
request.
1t is now hoped that with the
change of name there will be a cor
responding change in the ancient
reputation of the street. Tradition
says that the surrounding area was
long ago a thriving center for moon
sinners and bootleggers and that
customers would bring their boot
leg liquor purchases in tin cups
around to the Galley" to drink it
IN the dark out of the sight of pa
trolling officers. From this reputed
use the street for years has been
officially recorded as Tin Cup alley.
But now this name is passing for
ever, as the map makers write there
Darst avenue.

CHARLOTTE NECR0|

Tribunal Also Holds A. c. l..
Not Proven Negligent In
Hill Death Case

RALEIGH, Nov. 27-R-Frank
Starnes, Charlotte negro sentenced
to death for the hammer staying OF
his common-law wife, was granted
a new trial by the North Carolina
supreme court today. '
Associate Justice A. A. F. Sea-
well, who wrote the opinion n the
case, held that the presiding SUI
perior court judge may have pref
udiced the jury-because OF a Slip
of the tongue.
The Judge, Seawell wrote, told
the Jurors they might consider
1.-THE proof that there was no quar-
rel just before the killing" In
stead of the word PROOF" the
Judge should have said evidence"
he added.
Chief Justice w. p. Stacy dis
scented to the opinion. Associate
Justice ]. Wallace Winborne did
not take part in the consideration
or decision of the case.
In the only other state case, the
court upheld the conviction in Yam
cey county of Arthur Wilson, who
was sentenced to five years on a
charge of having sexual relations
with a child between the ages OF u
and 16. 1t invalidated, however, a
sentence of two years which was
given the same defendant on a
count of assault on a female.
Since the two sentences run con-
currently, the action did not affect
the total sentence.
In another case, the supreme
court held that:
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
had not been proven negligent in
connection with the death Of ]. A.
Hill, a switchman who fell or was
thrown from the rear of a freight
