Manion, Leads in Amateur Ouimet Leaves Sick | Bed to Compete in National Tourney at Pittsburgh, By William Abbott PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 16. URPRISES began breaking out Shany to-day in the main quali- fying round of the National mateur Championship on the Oak- 8, Manion, a! ‘the St. Louis arrivals While the other big favorites, Manion, unnoticed, performed one of the most business-like: round®/ tliat have been flashed here. ‘Carefully avoiding the many;trapa and bunkers that caused the formidable field to score high, the western leader driving a long ball and putting faitly well. was out in #9 and came home in 37 for his 76, which js three strokes over par. Francis Ouimet, a strong favorite in thia championship got out of a sick bed to respond to his starting call. ‘The former National amateur and open title holder, although suffering from an acute attack of. tonsilitis, told the writer last night. he would play his two qualifying rounds if he had to go ney, Visibly pale and unsteady, he Boston crack took his place on the starting tes to-day. Except for fre- quent rests, it wag the same brilliant Ouimet in action, long distance driver, approaches beantifully placed and accurate putting, Quimet cov- ored the first 9 holes in 38, which in- cluded q six on the uphill third, where a miscue Into Bunker cost two extra strokes. Charles (Chick) Evans of Chicago, defending cham pion, negotiated his first round in 83, @ #eore far above the champion's standard, Chicago Chick was all right getting to the green, but once the western witard started putting he was all wrong. Missed puts, usu- ally little short teasers, were respon- wible for Evans going over the 80 mark. Max Marston of the Baltusrol Club, the first of the New York shock con- tingent to finish, was just one stroke under Evans, Max, like the defending champion, same to grief on the green, Marston, on fifteen geens hed trouble and he did well 16 get 82. Rober: Gard-| ner, twice former national champion, was another favorite who joined the high score club, Gardner, while hit- ting long from the tees, was erratic with his approaches, and thers messed up shots promptly landed in traps (hat are cleverly placed for just this pur- pose, Gardner, who hails from Chi- cago, was out in 43 and back in 41. The worst offender in the carly fr ishers was Bili Fownes) former national champion and a noted star from the Oakmont Club, The veteran knows every blade that the advantage of experience going over the battle ground, and despite all this, he hit into traps on his opening round, but itw as the proper thing to do. Fownes was mostly seen going in or coming out of traps, Naturally golf of this sort brings high scores, and oh, (Pompes's card showed 9, which will ‘ound the links in a jit-¢ another | Newark Championship surely put him out of the running, 'W.
