NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Young-
sters had great day on the links
yesterday when the United States
Golf Association held 36-hole
eliminations in 27 districts for It's
45th amateur golf championship.
There was 26-year-old Tommy
Barnes, a former Atlanta caddie,
whose 6-under-par 1876 on Atlanta's
East Lake course was the lowest of
any returned by the 600-odd COM
petitors. There was 20-year- -old
Johnny Jacobs, who in his native
Cedar Rapids Iowa) was four un-
der par with 10 and 68 for 1873.
At the Omaha Field Club, where
the championship will be played
August $3.50, there was 18-year- -old
Mario Gonzales of Sac Paulo,
Brazil, who will be the only foreign
starter In the field of $50 and who
beat a lot of local hopefuls for the
medal with 36hole total of 148.
Moreaand Shoots Great Round.
But IN spite of all these Johnny
come-latelys, there still was place
t1 the sun for Gus Moreland, the
S0-year-old "greybeard" from
Peoria dll) who has qualified every
yeer since 1881 and took this occa-
sion 10 pace the Chicago field with
. N-o8-l42, two under par for
the famed and tough North Shore
eoaaEse.
MoFalAnd. winning member Of
t1s 1882 and 1884 Walker Cup
teams, labeled that 68 the finest
eossnd be ever played, over a course
that had been stretched out to more
H1an 1000 yards, and he shot it
with Two borrowed woods and a
borrowed putter.
There wasn't q serious failure
anywhere IN the country. except
perhaps In New York, where Raw
BtNows OF Poughkeepsie, twice a
National finahst. missed out by one
shot.
St1h Has Good Chance.
But that left him as second alter
hate, with q good chance that
enough qHahflers would drop out
to enable Bflows to 60 after the
title won last year by Dick Chap
man.
SfJ former winners-Chapman
While Turnesa, Johnny Goodman,
Johnny Fischer, Chick Evans and
Marvin Bud Ward-were exempt
