HAGEN IS FAVORED IN BRITISH MEET By Robert C. Dowson (U. I’. Staff Correspondent).. .. Sandwich. Eng.. May 8 — (UP) With the prominent American contenders well in the van and Itelieved assured or qualifying, the field in the British open chamidonship set cut to day upon the second round which will determine the 100 or more golfers who are to enter play for the title now held by Bobby Jones at Atlanta. The 100 low scorers, including ties ,’or last place, will qualify for the championship proper which starts over the Royal St. Georges course tomorrow. A deter mined British bid to bring I the open title back to this country. ! where it has remained but once ht the past seven years, lost some of its menace when the leading golfers from the United States crowded to the f re in the opening qualifying round. Ilonots on Monday were fairly evenly divided between Britons and Americans. but Walter Hagen, Bill MeNhorn, James Marne. Gene Sarazen and Tommy Armour succeeded in turning in better performances than Archie Compston Abe Mitchel ami Arthur Ha vers. Walter Hagen's play yesterday, while it did not result in the lowest score, was recognized by golf experts as superlative and "Si l Walter,' who won the British open championship here at Sandwich seven years ago, has been made a favorite in the betting. “Wild Bill' - Mehlhorn's 72 overthe St. George's course was the best card turned in Monday, FclloV-ing him came George Duncan, Jack Smith, the long driver, and the veteran I.en Holland. Perhaps the best performance of Mcnday was that of Will Davies, the British pro, who shot a 73 over the Prince's course, which, because of a chilly, whistling wind from the sea, was far more ditticii'lt than St. George yesterday. Hagen’s 76 on the Prince's coarse, for instance, was considered pu'te as good as Mehlhorn's 72, while Little Joe Juado from the Argentine, who Where Service Is Paramount five hundred room hotel located in the i down-town section—only three blocks jrom the "circle" i Excellent -barkinv ! . garage facilities r I SPINK ARMS ; HOTEL f INDIANAPOLIS 1 .
