B4 s LEADERS FATIGUED INFRST 18 OLES Armour and Mac Smith, With 70’s, Leading Jones and Cox by One Stroke. BY H. G. SALSINGER. NTERLACHEN COUNTRY CLUB, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 11.—The current Nation- al Open may not go down into history for the brilliancy of its golf, but it will long be remem- bered for the intensity of its heat. The weather is the hottest that ever accompanied a major tour- nament in the United States, hot- ter even than the weather at Worcester in the memorable Na- tional Open of 1925, when two| Elay-ofls were necessary and Bob- y Jones almost dropped on the| second 18, where he lost to Willie| MacFarlane by one stroke. ‘There was taik of shooting 18 holes | on Saturday, but today the program Temains unchanged, the, golf rulers| hoping that the temperafure will drop before tomorrow. During the last two days the ther- mometer at the Interlachen Country Club has registered more than 100 and it was reported yesterday that one of the thermometers on the grounds regis- tered 130. It did. but later it was dis- covered that a practical joker had run up the mercury with the aid of a lighted match before calling attention | to the “high run.” Shoot Low Despite Heat. In this blazing heat two seventies and two seventy-ones were delivered. The seventies were turned in by two veteran campaigners of the g%lflnz wars, Tommy Armour and MacDonald Smith, and both were shot late in the afternoon_when the heat was not so terrific. Bobby Jones and Whifty Cox had the seventy-ones and they made their scores when the day whas hottest. Five players had seventy-twos and this list included Harry Cooper, Walter ‘Hagen, Horton Smith, George M. Smith and John E. Rogers. ‘When Jones finished his round early in the afterncon he dropped on a bench in the club house. He was too tired to peel off his clothes, so an attendant cut them off with a pair of scissors. A friend, carying a thermos bottle of ice water, accompanied Jones. The bottle was emptied when he reached the sixth tee and it had to be refilled twice. Chick Evans, former amateur and open champion, shot an 81. For the first time since he won the title, in 1916, Evans played & round without taking more than two putts on a single hole. Still he had an 81. “I couldn't see on two holes,” said Bvans. “The heat got me.” Cyril Tolley weighed his clothes be- fore dressing and he weighed them after he finished his round in 80. The elothes weighed three pounds more. The heat undoubtedly affected Jones, who lives in Atlanta, a city that is not exactly a Summer resort. More Putts Than Usual “I've never known it this hot down there,” said Bobby. Jones went out in 34, 2 under par, and came home in 37, 1 over par. He took 33 putts, which is below the Jones form. He had two birdies on the first nine, geeting them on the two par § holes. He shot par on the last eight holes. He had a buzzard 5 on the tenth. Here his drive landed in the rough, just off the fairway. He hit his second a bit too thick and was trapped. His third carried him to the green and he needecl two putts. Jones missed at least six holeable putts. His best shot ‘was on the’ninth, the lake hole. Here he used a brand-new No. 1 iron for his second, :. 220-yard 1ift over the lake. He landed on the green, got down in 2 and scored a birdie 4. Armour and Macdonald Smith showed the effects of a fading temperature in their scores. Each was out in 37 and each came home in 33. At Interlachen the first nine holes are regarded as the easiest, Few players do better coming | home than going out. Armour, known as the game's great- est iron player, but only an average putter, did some brilliant work on the greens. He had an eagle 3 on the elev- enth. Here he reached the green by using & No. 2 iron for his second and he dropped a 20-foot putt. He also dropped two 10-footers. Coming home he also had two birdies and & buzeard. PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON; D. C., Heat May Prove to Be Deciding Factor in Play for Open Golf Championship Final 36 Holes May Be Split If Heat Keeps Up MINNEAPOLIS, Minn,, July 11 (CP.A).—If the present heat wave continues here an effort will be made to have the United States Golf Association divide the final 36 holes of the national open championship over two days instead of one as scheduled. Several prominent golf authorities considered such a move when the temperature reached 112 and it was declared unsafe for any one to play under such heat. If the U. 8. G. A. accedes to such a request the final 18 will be played Sunday, and a tie— if any—would then be decided on Monday.

A huge glacnrd with the words “Sobbing Room" angs on the wall, but yesterday this retreat was turned into a rest Joom for the tired players.

Houghton of the Harper Country Club of Washington needed another score better than his opening effort today to qual- ify for the final two rounds of the open champlonship over the Interlachen course here, while Arthur B. Thorn of the Woodmont Club and Mel Shorey of the East Potomac Park public course also had to better today their efforts of yesterday if they were to remain in the chase for the championship. Houghton yesterday registered a card of 78, while Shorey had 79 and Thorn, playing poorly. had 82. All suffered from the blighting heat which stalked over the Interlachen fairways like a devastating blast. Houghton started in good shape, reg- | istering a 38 for the first nine, even with a 6 on the fourth, but over the hard last nine, be took 40 strokes. Thorn started badl’, with 5, 6, 4, each hole being played:in one over perfect figures. Then he took 6 on the par 4 second and another 6 on the par 5 ninth to get out in 42. A 40, which includes two sixes on the last nine, ruined Shorey's chance. The short holes were his nemesis. He ‘was over par on all but one of the par 3 holes and took 5s in some of the par 4s. He also found the greens very tricky, having three putts on several greens. Shorey was over par on the first six holes and only by bagging a birdie on the ninth was he able to keep pace with par on the last three holes going out. He started the incoming round with pars on the tenth and eleyv- enth, but went one over at the twelfth. He finished with three 4s for a 40. Houghton was unsteady on both nines. He was 2 over par on the first nine and 4 over on the last nine to gather his 78. His tee shots were off the line from a number of tees and his irons also were wild. He found the deep rough too much for him, and although the field as a whole found the rough ex- ensive in the matter of strokes, Hough- ton had better than usual luck. His fine recoveries saved him at least a half dozen strokes. Here are scores of the three Wash- ington professionals: ‘The first 60 players and ties will play in the final 36 holes of the champion- ship tomorrow and all the Washington Iads will have to better their scores to- day if they are to remain in the cham- plonship.

INNEAPOLIS, Minn,, July 11.— In the second battle of Dante’s “Inferno” there was again an old, familiar figure casting his well known shadow across & blazing welter of Iiat at Interlachen—heat such as Sahara never knew. When Bobby Jones yesterday turned in a 71, one stroke under par, the pros again beat upon the tom-toms of war and sounded the bugle call to action in behalf of a title worth $40,000. In the wake of these martial strains they dashed out into the fiery furnace of living flame from an angty sun and set out in pursuit of the quarry from T Georgia, who has been the rabbit that the greyhounds have chased for the last eight years. And then two brilliant Scots—Tommy Armour of Tam o'Shanter, Detroit, and MacDonald Smith of Lakeville, N, Y.— answered the challenge with two 70s to lead the Georgian by a stroke. There was the echo of bagpipes in the sultry air and the ghostly fragrance of blue- bells as the two Scots holed their putts on the green to lead the conqueror of St. Andrews and Hoylake, now after his third crown. Both Armour and Mac Smith were out in 37, and then the deadly accuracy of wood and iron came into play as they finished in 33 each. Armour got his 33 with a magnificent iron shot to the final green, just five feet from the pin. Mac Smith, after a long, straight drive, had a 4 left for a 69, but the ‘~on rap fell short and he had to hole a six-footer for his 5. ‘Whifty Cox of Dyker Meadow, Brook- lyn, a loose-jointed, carefree son of the ancient green, was the next that re- sponded with a 71. Both Bobby and ‘Whifly were out in 34 and back in 37 as their clammy foreheads fairly spout- ed perspiration each time they leaned over to make a putt. It was worse than playing in a shower bath. The gallery of 8,000 was in casual water from start to finish, and it all came from open pores. Many from the big field were burned out be- fore the first nine holes were finished. | ‘Well Surrounded. FIER the first day's play Bobby Jones found himself surrounded by a flock of the greatest professionals in the world, a cordon of skill and ex- perience that not even the so scorch- ing heat could hold in check. There were Tommy Armour and Mac Smith leading him by a stroke. There was Whiffy Cox neck and neck. And just behind there were Walter Hagen, Hortdn Smith, Harry Cooper, George Smith and Johnny Rogers only & stroke away, at 72, At least four or flve of these are capable of carrying on at the same dizzy pace. Certainly Armour, Mac Smith and Horton Smith, Hagen and Cooper are all tried veterans who can 8o the route, even though they have to step their way through almost unen- durable heat, a heat that made the temperature of Worcester five years ago look like Baffins Bay in January. The type of golf that Armour and Mac Smith played Syesterday will keep even a Jones fighting at his best to take and hold the lead and finish with the laurel. It was one of the most sensational first days any championship ever knew. Here were eight fine golfers no more than two strokes apart, with other stars only a stroke or so away. And included in these is a young fel- low of 38 by the name of Hagen. For the first nine holes Hagen was strug- gling all over the lot. He was fading his tee shots into heavy trouble and on the second hole, 60 yards from the green, he lifted his head on the short pitch and got only 10 yards. At the long fourth some one rushed out and stepped on Hagen’s ball, half burying it in the hot turf. He was out in 38, wavering on the border line of a break-up, and then the old Hagen came back with a rush and a whoop that carried his big gallery along to the fin- ish with all the excitement of a foot ball game, Hagen came back in 34 over the hard The Y Club Swim in the Cool Pool as often as you like Private, locker, shower, lounging room and gymnasium privileges. | ' 4 Months for $8.00 | XOM.

From an | erring, wandering, uncertain golfer the veteran turned in a flash into the stuff that made him famous and still keeps him dangerous. The Toughest Barricade. 'HIS is the toughest barricade that Bobby Jones has ever faced. Mac Smith tied for the championship 20 years ago and less than a month ago, at Hoylake, he trailed Jones to the final green, only two. strokes Away. ‘'ommy Armour won the championship at Oakmont in 1927 and came near winning it last Summer at Winged Foot. Walter Hagen has won 11 na- tional titles, including 6 open cham- pionships. Harry Cooper tied with Ar- mour at Oakmont. Horton Smith is the brilllant luminary of the younger stars who has beén gaining needed ex- perience to make him more and more dangerous at each start, just that much nearer the goal | And these are among the 10 or 12 now left who are out to bar the way| to the Georgian's latest bid for glory. They are the most formidable chal- lengers that any single entry ever ran | across in the history of golf. | There was a wry smile on Bobby's | facc as he looked at the list of thos who met his first day's test, stroke for stroke. And there are others, such as Far- rell and Sarazen and Craig Wood, who are still in the front, but they can hardly afford to slip in front of the rabid pack that is setting the pace. | ‘There are golfers up there in th forefront, nerve-tested veterans an dashing youngsters, who have proved their place too often before, and “1 Jones can escape this cordon it will be| the greatest exhibition of his golfing| career. Queer Reversals. THERE has never been a champion- ship where so many queer and sudden reversals broke into the| program, largely due to a sun bent upon | cooking the world in a humidic tem-| perature that scored 104 before 10 o’clock. And the strangest of these belonged to Johnny Farrell, open champion two years ago. Johnny, slender and a trifle keen to get going, opened his pursuit of Jones by nailipg a spectator on the first hole off the edge of the fairway and knocking him down. For the next few minutes the partially unconscious spectator was the only comfortable per- son on the course. At any rate, this incident so upset Farrell that he hooked, sliced, shanked and flubbed and finally took three putts for an eight. It was an 8 at Winged Foot that wrecked Farrell a year ago. Imagine peering into the mocking face of an- other 8 at the first hole of the first round, when you are all geared up to go somewhere. From this spot on Johnny Farrell's round was the most remarkable of the day. That 8 must have stuck in his heart like a poisoned arrow. He had a 6 at the fourth hole and that made him 6 over 4s for two holes. But Farrell shot seven of the nine holes in 6 under 4s to square his 6 over 4s on two holes to take him out in 36, an amazing performance—a test of fine golf and nerve control, proof that John- ny Farrell must be watched from now on. Another quick reversal struck Johnny Goodman, the young star who eliminat- ed Bobby Jones at Pebble Beach last Fall. Goodman started out at a pace that was hotter than the blazing day.

He had played 10 holes in 38 strokes and then apparently the enormity of his cf~ fense against par beat upon his mind, for he suddenly slipped from the heights to the depths to come back in 41. He used up two more strokes for the last eight holes than he had gathered for the first 10, And these are only two of the many incidents that made a big gallery forget its clothes were clinging to the human frame after the manner of one who has | dived into a lake. Day of Days. HE first day was one of the great days of golf, dating back to the misty morning King James blew a 2-foot putt. Most of the amateurs broke before the pace. Cyril Tolley and Jimmy Johnston had 80s. Chick Evans had an 81. Von Elm had an 80. But George Voigt came through with a steady 76 after one or two bad breaks that might have yielded better returns. As they battle through the second round today this is now a championship that any one of 10 men can win. There are almost no -false alarms fighting their way around the half turn into the stretch. When you watch Armour and Mac Smith lay those irons up around the pin, or watch Hagen battle his way through trouble and despair, to keep on scoring, you can get a better idea of the picture. And it might be mentioned here that Bobby Jones will still take a lot of beat- ing. He was hitting the ball well up to a high standard most of the round. Here 15 just one example. The ninth hole here is 485 yards in length, with the second shot played over a lake. Jones drove as close to the water’s edge as a frog can jump to safety and then laid a No. 3 iron some 12 feet from the cup. He started home raggedly with 5—5—5 where Hagen, Armour and Mac Smith were even 4s and these are the holes that usually find the Georglan at his best. It was this sinking spell, in comparison to the others, that kept him above 70. At the 194-yard thirteenth Mac Smith rammed an iron shot just 8 inches from the cup. For a moment it looked as if the Lakeville veteran had his ace. The last nine holes that Armour, Mac Smith and Hagen turned in were classics that will not be forgotten, for they brought out every type of high- grade golf. T the start of the second day's struggle there were 23 sterling golfers only four strokes apart. There were over 30 only five strokes apart and if you have played golf or watched an open champlonship you can understand how quickly these margins can be lost and how suddenly these deficits can be made up. It will be interesting to see how the leading field is bunched Friday night as they face the killing stretch of Saturday's play, But most of those now in the big hunt should remain there, for they are not the type that show and blow, flash and crash, that flame and then go lame. Can Bobby Jones escape this cordon? Can he break the barricade. If any one can he is the boy. But on this oc- casion he has his work cut out. He is in the midst of 22 professionals and most of these have shown they know the way from the tee to the bottom of the cup. It will be the greatest test he has ever faced.

Written for the Associated Press. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, July 11.— Along in the cool of the evening Wed- nesday, when the thermometer on the | Interlachen Country Club, wasaway down around 98 degrees, two veteran Scots | decided to take the lead for the first day | of the national open golf championship away from Bobby Jones and Wifty Cox, | who had held it at 71 all day, and when | the shades of night and a few fleeting | and well gorged flocks of mosquitoes had settled about Mirtor Lake, Tommy Armour, national champion of 1927, and MacDonald Smith were tied at 70, 2 strokes below par, each having done the last and longest nine holes in 33. . And there the matter rested for a few hours while the dried-out competitors absorbed gallons of water in the effort to regain the fluidity which had enabled them to imitate lawn sprinklers all over the Interlachen. 1f you haven't tried it, or at least ob- served it, you can have no idea how freely the human system can disburse moisture at a temperature of 100 de- grees mingled with what is unpopularly | known as humidity. Jones Gets Thirsty. Bobby Jones consumed three succes- sive vacuum bottles of ice water in play- ing his round, and when he gained the refuge of the locker room about 1 o'clock his necktie was in a sodden knot and he couldn’t untie it and I tried it and failed and then took and cut it off of him so he could get ready for a shower. The aptest description of M. Cyril James Hastings Tolley in action yes- terday was, to my way of thinking, as follows: “Tolley,” said a prim lady spectator just like an iceman who has carried a hundred pounds of ice up five flights of stairs and found the lady of the house not_in.” small heap of extraordinarily damp golf clothing. “I wonder how much weight I lost, playing that round,” he speculated. “How much do your golf clothes weigh?” I asked. “Three pounds, normally,” he said. I put the damp bundle on the scales. It weighed six pounds and a half, but this increase did not include what Mr. Tolley had lost altogether by radiation. After some coaxing he got on the scales himself. I promised not to tell what the remnant weighed. but it was 9 pounds less than Mr, Tolley had scaled when he set out three hours before. Loses Vision on Shot. Chick Evans, who won both the open and the amateur championships of 1916, told me the heat affected him curiously, in that quite a number of shots were struck while he had lost the vision of the ball. Not one of them was an en- tirely bad shot, Chick said, but not one was an entirely good shot, and it is a curfous fact that, without ever being off the fairway in the 18 holes or taking three putts on any green, Chick re- turned a card of 81. that. The putt was 3 fth green. was swinging like some dear old dy,” confessed the Portland infant, blushing. “I couldn't seem to put any punch in my shots.
