Under the illumination of 102 lights mounted high on poles lining the undulating fairways the con- testants will play twice around the first nine for the'first golf title to be awarded between dusk and dawn. The first foursome will tee off at 8 p.m. and the last at 9:05.

This would put eight contestants in the big play-off and the pairings would come out even. Considerable contention has marked some of the preliminaries in which three men reach the final. How to award the bye has been a problem with some chairmen, and not all have settled the thing satisfactorily. In next year's tournament there will be an iron-clad rule to govern three-man play-offs. - In the grand finale last year, Millard Peake, Southern Maryland champlon, drew the bye and Alex Kirchner, Vir- ginia, and Charles A. Fort, played the first match, 't winning. | Then Peake defeated Fort to take the | metropolitan crown. After that Fort and Kirchner pitched for second prize.

H. (Ted) Burrows of Rock Creek Park, with a 79 yesterday in the first half of the qualifving round, had the best chance, while Louis Fuchs of East Potomac Park was three strokes behind him, with 82, and had to better this mark to be_sure of qualification. Bob Burton of East Potomac Park, with 85, and Sam Parks of Rock Creek Park, with 89 for the first round, had to shade their opening scores to come near qualification. Wesley Billings, who paid his own axpenses to make the trip here, took a 92 and is virtually out. The Washington team finished in righth place in the race for the Harding trophy, with a total of 335.

And at Inverness, where the United States open will be played, the fair- ys can be hard-baked and the | weather hot in July. It may also com- plicate the playing of the Ryder Cup matches that are set for Scioto, Co- lumbus, Ohio. The Ryder Cup matches usually’ are played before the open championships, but if the United States open is played early in July they will have to follow the open. Selection of Carnoustie as the venue | of the next British open is a pleasing compliment to that great center of golf. Since the inauguration of the British | open in 1860 it has been over Prest- wick, and then, St. Andrews and Mus- selburgh were added. Musselburgh was | dropped in 1888 and subs2quently other courses were added. N Westward Ho dowl on the shores of Devon, where the fisher folk still hear the roll of Drake's drum on foggy nights, will be the scene of the 1931 British amateur. Only twice before has the amateur been played there, so both scenes of the coming British titular events will be quite strange to | any Americans who may compete. Taylor Was Masfer. The Devon course is best remembered as the home of J. H. Taylor. probably the greatest mashie player of all fime and one of Britain's four greatest pro- fessionals. It also has sent numerous professionals to the States, among whom is W. H. Wayne of Mayfield, who has taught duffer and star alike for more than 35 years and now is high in the councils of the P. G.

The Britons stand to be | penalized by the change in balls in | either the open or the Ryder Cup play.

But | in one event or the other they are ig&nl to be under a handicap as both fegel and Sargent admit.
