BY W. R. McCALLUM. ORCED by the unprecedented size of the entry list to make extraordi- nary plans for thé spring golf tournament which was originally schieduled to start Thursday, the greens committee of the Columbia Country Club today decided to qualify part of the field of some 300-odd players tomorrow, and to allow the major portion of the entry list to olay their medal round on Thursday. So large an entry list was reccived up to the time entries closed last night that the committec found even by starting the first pair at 6 o'clock in the morning all the players would not make the round of the course in a full day. Some ra provision was necessary and the commniittee de- cided to qualify as many of the local entrants as possible tomorrow, re- serving Thursday for the entrants from outside Washington and a few of the local players. George P. James, 2 member of the committe: taid no attempt had been made to pair players according to their wishes, the names having been drawn out of a hat. inasmuch as the entry list was so lurge that the spe fied StArting times cwte not all be as- signed to players who wished to start at_a given time, Many additional names are expect- ed to be received in the mail today from out of town points and places will be reserved Thursday for these late entrants.

Hutchison, who captured Britain’s most cherished golf trophy last year, already is abroad tuning up his strokes, while Barnes, the open cham- pion, and Hagen. professional title holder, were to leave today on the steamship Berengaria. _ r ; - Barnes and Hagen will reach the other side in time to participate with Hutchison in the £1,000 tournament at Glen Eagles and perhaps sev- eral other events preliminary to the open meet. It will be the third attempt by Barnes and Hagen to carry off the British title. Barnes finished sixth in 1820, while Hagen was way off his game, finishing far down the list, although' he rallied later and won the French open championship. A vear ago, in company with a team of leading American professionals, both finished in a tie for sixth place Golf Facts Worth Knowing BY INNIS BRO' Q.
