Mitchel Field, N. Y,, June 28 MP— An army observation plane caught fire two thousand feet in the air to- day and fell like a comet to the Meadowbrook Country club grounds, critically injuring Licut.

Y, June 28 (M—Blazing the way through a gusty wind for the big fleld, two sturdy Italian profession- als, Gene Barazen of New York and Al Espinosa of Chicago, went into an early tie for the lead today with 142, two under par, for the 36 hole or half way mark of the national open golf championship. Sarazen duplicated his brilliant 71 of yesterday, chiefly because he needed only 11 putts on the last nine holes, while close behind him Espin- osa came home with a par 72 to add to his fine 70 on the first round. Three putts and a bad five on the short 13th cost Espinosa a golden chance to take the lead. Squarcly Up to Jones These two performances left the issue over the leadership up to Bobby Jones whose sensational 69 led the opening day’s battle. The At- lanta amateur knew what he had to beat as he prepared for his second round after lunch. Walter Hagen went to pieces with an 81 for a two-day total of 157. The British open champion joined the defending American open titleholder, Johnny Farrell, among the favorites to fall by the wayside. Farrell's 84 yesterday put him out of the run- ning for all practical purposes. On the heels of the leaders was Densmore Shutte, Young Worthing- | ton (Ohio) professional, who beat par with a 71 after 73 yesterday to totdl of 144, even pyr.
