The United States Golf Associa-
ton was more than generous in
awarding five places to the Middle
Atlantic section for Mondays sec
tional qualifying rounds for the
National Open, based on its meth
cd determining places by strength
of the field as we'll as size.
OF the Al players entered here,
only two, Chandler Harper of Ports
mouth and Richmond's Bobby
Cruickshank, can be classed as
name" players in the eyes of the
USGA. Home Pro Lewis Worsham
and Cliff Spencer, who led the Ma
tons qualifiers in 1941, may be
recognized for their potentialities.
Five places for Al players is
ratio of to l, which means break
for the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia aspirants. With Fred Nc
Leod an automatic qualifier and
definite entry, this section will have
six players at Cleveland June 1915.
Worsham Heavy Favorite.
Playing over his home Burning
Tree course Monday, Worsham, who
will bet his club members on 10 and
II every time over the par 70 lay
out, will be heavy favorite to lead
the field. Harper, Baltimore's Andy
Gibson and Jack Isaacs of Langley
Field, Va. are we'll backed, while
Cruickshank and Ralph Beach of
Baltimore will be dangerous.
Several of the 35 pros and six
amateurs are In the dark horse cate
CORY, including the only "foater," a
former Burning Tree caddie and
assistant pro from Mahwah, N. j.,
Stanley Panek, who is in this city
on business. X-foot-four FREQ Boil
ton has been playing we'll in practice
at Burning Tree.
More than half of the would-be
qualiflers practiced at Burning Tree
Yesterday, which means most of the
boys are serious about going to
Cleveland. Worsham had a II in a
round with his brother Buck, Bob
Barnett and Frank Stiedle of Chevy
Chase. Worsham said it was true
that Stiedle hits tee shots as far as
anybody in the country. Six Balti-
more pros played practice rounds
and Clagett Stevens of Manor played
the first nine in 2 under par.
