All the favorites are on today's grogram, with play beginning at p.m. Jean Borotra, the titleholder, 1y drawn against the former Australasian champion, R. W. Heath, while his compatriot, Rene Lacoste, takes on E. Higgs of Ingland. Both Frenchmen are expected to win easily, and it is widely believed the final victory in the singles will fall to one of them. The ubsence of such American masters as Willlam T. Tilden and Wil- liam M. Johnston is held by most of the experts to exclude the chance of the title going to the United States, although Ray Casey and John Hen- nessey are recognized as players of first rank, certain to put up a tre- mendous battle, Both appear on the center court to- day, playing, respectively the Dutch stars, C.

OMAHA, Nebr., June 22.—The crack of the driver and the zipp of the iron were heard on the golf links of the Omaha Teld Club today for many hours as some 225 contestants played the first 18-hole qualifying round of the transmississippl golf champion ship. Among the contestants is James Manion of St. Louis, title holder and | favored to win again. The course has been fast. but rain vesterday helped a little. The greens are in splendid condition, but nearly all are undulating or sloping, so that every putt has to be gauged carefully. A dubbed drive on a couple holes will cost a penalty, as the fairways are intercepted by a rallroad track in a deep cut and balls landing in that gulch are out of bounds. A meeting of the association tonight will consider enlarging the organiza- tion to take in the Pacific coast, with a view to supplanting the Western Golf Assoclation in case that body merges with the United States Golf Association.
