At me there was some objection several of the pros to d to piay over a course ! not be in as good as the older and more sea- about the Capital, So it v settled that Washington have a professional tourney during | late Summer, even though it will be of short duration, for the qualifying round is only a 36-hole affair Last r the test was held over the Five Farms layout, and Tommy Armour. then national open champion, and Ralph Beach, then attached to Burning Tree. won the two places assigned to this section. Only two places have beer given the Midatlantic section again this vear, even though the championship itself is to be played over a course in the heart of the section. This year the contest for the places will ke fully as keen as it was last yea: It almost goes without saying that ‘Tommy Annour will be one of those to qualify. for he probably can outscore any other pro in this part of the coun- try over the 36-hole route and should be installed as one of the ranking fa- vorites to win the national match play title itself. The real struggle, then, will center around the man who is to win the other place. And from such a group as Fred McLead, Sandy Armour, Monroe Hunt- | er.

By the Associated Press. | ETROIT, August 16.—Walter Hagen, British open golf cham- | pion, and Johnny Farrell. holder of the national open | title, will meet in a series of | matches for the unofficial champion- | ship of the world. Hagen late vesterday wired his acceptance to a chailenge is- | sued by Farrell, and it was decided that the first test. a_36-hole match, would | played at the Western Golf and be {Country Club here, on Wednesday, Au- ust 29. There is nothing new in a meeting botween the holders of the two premier golf titles of the world, but the plan to | be followed by Hagen and Farreil is an | the Haig’s manager. ‘The v'{(':wr in three out of five matches ' will win the series. On other occasions of special matches between two leading | golfers one 72-hole match has been | played. This system. according to | Hagen, is unfair to both the players en- | gaged and to the club which sponsors | the match. His reason is that one player may obtain such a margin in the | first 36 holes as to kill interest in the | final rounds. He believes that a fairer chance is offered both players under the series plan, which leaves an opportunity for a comeback for a player who might happen to be badly off form. Hagen's matches with Archie Comp- ston, in which he was hopelessly beaten | at the end of 36 holes, and his test with | Bobbie Jones in Florida several years | ago, in which he had the Atlantan | thoroughly beaten at the half-way | mark, were eited as examples. | In making the challenge Torrell stated that he would play under any | system suggested by Hagen.

His winning jump was an inch and a half better than in 1924 A great setback to the American hopes came in°the 800-meter run, when Phil Edwards. Canadian negro star, led Lloyd Hahn, leading American mid- dle distance runner, by 6 yards at the finish. Edwards, who ran second to Hahn many times in America. uncorked a terrific sprint at the finish and left the “Boston Express” looking more like a sidetracked freight.
