N COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 10.—Bobby Jones finished the first round today in the national open golf tournament fwith a 71 for a total of 220.

Dan Willlams, who held second place at the start of play, took a poor 40 for the initial nine. Smith topped the field for the third yound with a 68, equaling the course record set by Mehlhorn. Despite his bed 82 on the first round, he had a total of 226 for 54 holes, only six strokes behind the temporary leader. ' 62 Remain in List. Sixty-two golfers today remained in the competition for the national open championship out of a record fleld of 161 as a result of the two rounds of Thursday and yesterday, as they were ready to fight it out over 36 holes for the supremacy of American golfdom. These golfers, who won an exten- ston of their hotel reservations by scoring 159 or better, were headed by Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago, who tallied 88—75—143 for the first two rounds. His recession of seven strokes yes- terday from the record of 68 he chalked up Thursday was outdone by his nearest contender in the initial circuit, for Bobby Jones, American amateur and British open titleholder, slipped 9 blows from his good 70, total- jng 149. This placed Jones in a tie for sixth place with Jack Forrester of New York, who had the best score yesterday, a 73. Despite a lowering sky today rain did not fall during the early part of play. Turnesa started well, being under par on the first six holes. Hagan Increases Lead. Walter Hagen increased ‘his chances for victory by starting 4—4—3, getting a birdie on the third. Leo Diegel, shooting even ‘fours for 12 holes, kept his lead of one stroke over Jones and held his place with the leaders. “ Two Californians were the first to reach the turn in the morning round. Tom Stevens had a good 37, while Abe Espinosa took one stroke off rr with a 35. Joe Turnesa, who eld second place at the start of to- day’'s play, got a 35 also, making him 180 for 45 holes. Among e crack players who earned a ticket back home by their defections in the preliminary rounds were Jim Barnes of New York, for- merly American and British open champion; Fred McLeod of Washing: ton, who won this event many years &go; Jock Hutchison of Chicago, first American to.win the British open; Harry Cooper of Kansas City and fe Held of St. Louis, trans-Missis- sippl titleholder. One of the remaining contenders, 4 4 of honor, he shared it light than Cyril Walker, this event only two years scores are to be added to he first two rounds for the awards. On the basis of Mehl- horn’s standing the lowest probable for 72 holes would be 286, but puch experts as = Hagen predict the ground 293.

The order of the day on which the government finally won a majority, by 269 to 247 with about ‘40 absten- tions, carefully omits all mention of the debt agreement.
