JOHNSTON LEADS IN GOLF TOURNEY Minneapolis Youth Out In Front In Open Golf Championship Oakmont Country Chib, Hnlton, Pa. June 16(United Press) —Setting the pace in the greatest of open golf j < hampionsli ps. Slim Harrison Johnston of Minneapolis went out early today to prove that his place is at the top. , Tlie weather was fair and cool. When the field of 62 golfers, survivors in the severe test provided by Oakmont, went into action on this decisive day. the popular feeling was I that one of the professionals—Gene Sarazen or Walter Hagen—would overtake the blonde Mpin'eapo*!ts amateur before the day was done As for the champion. Bobby Jones of Atlanta, he faced the task of making up for two disappointing rounds. There was nothing of easy confidence in Bobby's demeanor. Jones started out today six strokes behind Johnston and several behind | his more dangerous opponents, Hagen, Sarazen and Harry Cooper of i Sacramento, to say nothing of tall Tommy Armour, greatest of shotmak-i ers with his irons. Armour, was in third place with a total of 145. two sttrokes behind the leader. “If I can pass Hagen. I can win the championship, predicted Bobby, who was among the last of the 62 to tee off. Jrhnston said nothing more than that he expected to do better than heretofore. If he does, he probably wi 1 come through successfully, one slip, and the eager pursuers wil,’ overtake him. for the class of those dosest on the Minneapolis golfer's trail has been proven in many an open championship before this. o Long Legged Men From All Over World Plan International Society
