SIDELIGHTS ON FIRST DAY’S PLAY IN OPEN TOURNEY AT COLUMBIA Cy Cummings, prominent Maryland politiclan and a Columbia golfer of no mean ability, yesterday assumed & the duties of officlal announcer, vice Secretary D. Vanderpool of the U. S. G. A. Cy’'s voice is just made for the job. When Capt Charles Clark of the Engineers’ Club found himself with- out a partner, owing to withdrawals, Albert R. MacKenzie, Columbia Coun- try Club player, paired with the visit- or. MacKenzie had not entered the lists before toda. Professionals in most sports are averse to being photographed before starting title contests, but Jock Hutchison, British open champion, does not fear any jinx. With his caddy, Joe Horgan, Jock posed for the cameramen before teeing off for the qualifying round. Joseph Kirkwood, Australian mar- el, was the first to turn in a respect- able score for the outward trip. He made the nine holes in 36, one over par. He got a birdie three on the 395-yard fourth hole. Jock Hutchison, the blond-haired Scotch firebrand, who holds the Brit- ish open title, gave a remarkable ex- hibition of gameness on_the fifth hole yesterday morning. He hooked his brassie second shot out of bounds, and then went back and playeq a screamer that went to the green 275 yards away. He finished the hole only one above par. Abe Mitchell's long tee shot at the seventeenth got him into serlous diffi- culty. His ball yesterday ecarried flag-high and ran over the green into the railroad tracks, out of bounds. He ended with a 6 on the hole. Trere is only one Jock Hutchison, and the player himsef realizes this. On his caddie bag are the significant words in the golf world, “The Hutch.” Every one who sees the bag knows to whom it belongs. Gallerles who watched the Mitchell- Hutchison match were agreed that the British open champion had found the homeliest caddie on the course in the person of Joe Horgan. Joe is no youngster—in fact he is older than Hutch—and the latter' frequently takes his advice in playing his shots. Bcores yesterday were very dis- tinctly on the high side. Whether this was due to the slow greens or to the importance of the qualifying round was not established. but the competitors in the tournament failed by a good bit to approximate the scores made in practice last week end. The greens were very slow and ‘on a few of them, particularly in the morning. the ball picked up a lump of mud as it struck. The superiority of Hutchison in {ilchlnx was quite clearly shown in is game with Mitchell. The match also showed the essential difference between the American and British styles of play—brought about un- doubtedly by the difference in course conditions in the two countries. Hutchison's ball consistently dropped and only ran a foot or two, while Mitchell’s pitch shots ran quite a dis- tance. On the third hole Mitchell's pitch, after a very long drive, struck short of the green and ran over. ‘Walter Hagen.made a good come- back after a bad out nine holes. He breezed back in 34 to tie with Joe | six. Farrell, who was low man up to late yesterday afternoon. Incidentally Robert L. Finkenstaedt, the Tolum- bla amateur, who played with the former open champlon, put up a fine brand of golf to shoot a 75. Arthur Beebe of West End, N. J, put his iron shot dead to the pin at the fourth hole and got his two. Joe Kirkwood, the trick shot player from Australia, and a man who must al- ways be counted in the running for the champlonship. sliced his brassie shot at the twelfth hole and took a 7. ruining his chances for a score ’bel‘o)’v 75.

One feature of the tournament to an unusual one is the fact that of the forty-three qualifiers the first day three of the men are amateurs. The District amateur champlon; Nelson Whitney of New Orleans, former southern champion, and J. B. Rose Whitney had 73, Fin- kenstaedt had 75 and Rose had 77. Finkenstaedt and McLeod were the only local qualifiers yesterday. The local men who failed to qualify were Orrin A. Terry of the Chevy Chase ‘Washington Golf and Country Club, J. F. P. A. D'Arcy Banagan and W. C. Ballantyne. James E. Davis, an amateur of Columbia, withdrew. A. R. MacKenzie, Guy M. Standifer and Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia played with three of the profession- als, but did not turn in cards. Finkenstaedt's score is considered quite remarkable under the strain of tournament play. He went around with Walter Hagen, the 1919 cham- pion, and played golf fully as good as the former _titleholder, although Hagen breezed back in a snappy 34 to secure his 74. Jack Burke, the wiry little profes- sional from St. Paul, who was a run ner-up in the champlonship last year, played a consistent game to secure his 74. The galleries at the tournament yesterday were very well behaved, and the men in charge of the immense PSYCHOLOGY OF Thankful for a 78 BY FAIRPLAY. With the second division of amateur and professional golfersat play today, qualifying for the two days of cham- pionship tilting in the national open tournament, which begins tomorrow, speculation was rife as to the score that will be necessary to win the cup of American golf supremacy. The play will be at seventy-two holes {and predictions have been made that the winner will have to “crack™ 290, or beat an average of 72% for each round of eighteen holes. George Duncan, the eminent Britisher, is one who believes the low score will “be at 290 or under. There are others just as confident that the winner will not make as gooq as 292, which would mean an average of 73 to the round. Most of the forecasts of low cham- pionship scoring were made before actual play in the qualifying round began Tuesday morning and were based upon some of the phenomenal figures hung up in practice when two of the “pros” made 69, and Bobby Jones of Atlanta, the crack amateur, made the course record of 68. Prac- tice rounds and championship rounds are two things quite distinctly sep- arate and apart. As Freddie McLeod, diminutive professional of Columbia, put it today: Pencil and Paper Count. i “It makes a difference when you are out there playing against a pen- cil and a piece of paper. 1 don't mean that in practice rounds the players always fail to sink their putts. I sank all of mine when I made a 69, but when the champion- ship play actually begins and you know that one stroke may decide the title, the mental attitude is not the me as in practice. The old tell- le pencil and paper always are hanging over you.’ These somewhat sage remarks were called out by the fact that on the first day of qualification play the low scores of the practice rounds were notable for their absence. Agafnst the 69s and 70s and 71s and 72s, the Dbest score the first day of play pro- duced was 73, and only two of the eminent players were able to attain that mark. The high scoring was partly due to the fact that the quali- fying round was eighteen holes this year, against the customary thirty- six. -The size of the fleld made it impossible to play the full thirty- Most of the players palpably were nervous, this being more true of the professionals than of the ama- teurs. However, none of the first-rank rofessionals was shut out the first and there was no anticipation of a cataclys mas the second half of the fleld teed off this morning. Thiak a 205 Will Wia. The difficully some of the stars | had In qualifyi led to the conclusidn that it will not be S0 easy for any one of them to ! maintain an average of 73 for four straight rounds. Some of .the more conservative Columbia players, who know the course, and know that it looks & great deal easier than it really is, expect the winning score to be around 295. The lowest Score ever made in an open championship in this country was a 286, turned in by “Chick” Evans at Minikahda in 1916. At Inverness last year, Ted Ray, the zing-| present American titleholder—who 18 not defending this year—made a 295. The possibilities of golf and the possibilities of the Columbia course for low scoring are shown, however, by the fact that the “best ball” of all the professional playing and practic- ing over ths links for the last week is & 46.

Murray of Mon- treal. The feature match today, however, and the one which was expected to attract the gallery, was that in which {Jim Barnes of Pelham and George Duncan of Hanger Hill, ndon, played. They started at 10:40 this morning. Another good pair to start today were Tommy Armour, the fa- mous Scotch amateur, and C! Hackney of Athantic City The course yesterday morning was very soft, and although both Mitchell and Hutchison in their round hit balls and carried far, the distance ob- talned by neither player was a tremendous. Later in the day course became faster and the balls hit off the tee were longer. The greens also became keener; in fact, the professionals who started late yes- ! terday said they were a bit too keen. | Jim Barnes played a practice round late yesterday afternoon over the curse and got around in 7 playing very good golf. How retary Vanderpool of the U. S. G. A appears to have the correct dope in this matter of practice rounds. “It is fairly easy to make a low score when there are a number of conceded putts,” ;. “It is very different ever, when the scorer is behind | them with a pencil and all putts must | be holed.” True Test of Golf. The players in the tournament are| practically unanimously agreed that the Columbia course is a true cham-| pionship test of golf. Any doubt on| that score will be remov high scores turned in by the p sionals yesterday. Doubtless a few of the high scores were caused by putting greens, but there is not question of doubt that the yawning pits at Columbia and the ~general penalty for getting far off the line of play had a good deal to do with th size of the scores. Abe Mitchell, how- ever, proved that he does not regard bunkers as particularly formidable. In his round with Hutchison terd: the long-swatting Briton was in the grassy mound to the right of the fifth fairway off the tee. The gallery ex- pected him to take a short iron and, per- haps, just get over the wilderness of trouble between him and the green. Instead, the confident Britisher took a spoon and hit a perfect ball down the fairway. He came very close to a 4 on BALTIMORE MAN TO FRED McLEOD, Columbia p! who turned in a 75, to share seventh place with two others. gallery which followed Hutchison and Mitchell had no trouble marshal- ing the members of the gallery around | the course.
