The United Mates preceded the English In changing the championship from a wide open affair, hut even the English had to modify the all-comers feature and had a committee to pass on entries at Wimbledon this year. Otherwise they would have been swamped with entries whom they designate as ••rabbits"—players who do well enough, but who have no chance to win the tournament and

Western Golfers Prevail in Opening Round at Oakmont —Francis Ouimet’s Conditions Improved—Evans an Early Finisher.

PITTSBURG. August l*.-Seventy-ftve golfers who qua! toed Saturday began play at the Oakmont Country Club today In the thirty-six-hole medal play rounds for the thirty-two places in tbs match play division of tbs hatJonal amateur golf championship. Weather conditions were favorable Ftancis Ottimet. who was 111 with tonefUtis and a cold Saturday night and Sunday, restsd wall last night and isft his hotel early today prepared to start in tfca play. . ■ Ouimet looked bad as he started hi* round, but bis play was excellent. Hs was dut In 38. At the 518-yard fourth, hs hit two km* wood* against a brass*, to tbs edgs of tbs green. He was down in 4. Francis Ouimet finlshsd to 7», one of the lowest cards of the day, and four strokes better than Evans. He went out In 38 to Evans' 41. and cam* to In 41, one stroke better than Evans The result was somewhat of a surprise considering Ouiraent's condition. Charles (Chick) Evans, Jr., th* champion, was at th* course early. Evans was at the turn in 41. Evans came In in 42, and handed to an 83 for the day. James 8. Manion. a public links player, of St Louie, the first player to start, completed the eighteen holes In 78. He had 2s at the 184-yard thirteenth hole and at th* 236yard sixteenth. Saturday's elimination round left seventeen eastern, thirteen western, seven southern, six middle states and two Canadian players for today's play. Francis Ouimet will continue play against tbs advise of two physicians who were called to attend him Saturday night when he developed a temperature of KB. Ouimet felt badly on the toward nine holes In the preliminary qualifying round Saturday, and to add to his discomfort he was caught in th# terrific storm which broke over the course as he was playing the last bole. He went to tbs clubhouse drenched. The Boston golfer was confined to his bed Sunday and, although his temperature was around normal, physicians said that hs ought not to attempt the long grind of tbs national championship. Mrs. Ouimet said i that her husband was determined' to play 1 if he had strength enough to swing a club. Ouimet contracted a cold and tonsilltis |

day, /MW: re to Pittsburg- According to members of the party who traveled with him, Ouimet has been fighting off a cold ever since he left New London. If Ouimet Is later forced to withdraw It will take away considerable Interest from the tournament, as the gelfera of America have waited a number of Year* to witness the result of a national championship in which th# Woodland club player and Charles (Chick) Evans. Jr., were contestants. Evans played a practice round Sunday with the club professional and scored a 77. The j best practice rounds were made by J. A. Sweetster. of Ardsley, who had a 78 in the i preliminary round Saturday, and Paul)

IRVINGTON ES.

There was much food for thought about th* nineteenth hole at Irv-mgton-on-the-Boulevard Sunday. John Cady, shooting in the semifinal round of the championship flight, pitched out of a bunker on the second hole. His ball hit the rim of the cup, bounced up in the air and plopped In. On the third in the same round Cady sliced terribly, into the tall, recovered with a brilliant approach, and holed out a twenty-four-foot putt for a 3, one under par. Dr. John Kingsbury went over the fence into the rough on the eighth, which is a blind hole. He decided to play the ball and drove hard. The hall slipped through a little hole in the fence and fell safe for an easy killing to the .pin in 2.

Tewkesbury, of Aronimink. These players scored 73. the par for the course. , There was a U# between Davidson Herron, paired with Grant A. Peacock, representing Oakmont. and J. S. Dean and R. H. Haight, of Princeton, at 72, In the best ball four-ball competition for the American golfer trophy. Early score# today were: J.

From the highlands and the lowlands and from the river and the Calumet they are coming, and weel mon, its’ a mighty array, this bunch of pilgrims who are seekin’ honors at the royal game. To dope consistently, you dinna can tell you, say the canny ones, for among

' worthy iada, what’s in a name, especially at a state open golf tourney? Thera ere many expert golfers here, and pros and amateurs alike axe finding difficulty and yet enjoyment to their practice t rounds over the nine-hole Kokomo Country i Chib course.

For Mr. Beadeiow, who will j design the new Highland Country Club course ' at Indianapolis, is the designer of the Ko- ! kotno links. ) Many plaids are represented in the army I of players already here. Chick Nelson. Kokomo pro, has thus far shot the best card, having accconplished the eighteen hoiks to 74—46 out and 84 to. The play was consistent. ; Wallace Nelson, of Highland, also of the f house o’Nelson, la here along with George I Stark, the other Highland pro, and the amateurs Ralph Young, Ed Lennox and Burt Wilbur, Indianapolis city champioa. Young and Nelson will tot it off, and Wilbur will play with Stark. William Van Landingbatn will complete the Highland quartet of am*' Pete Hendrie, another wearer of th* plaid, will represent Riverside, of Indianapolis. He will team with Frank Kissel. William Barrier®, Jr., and Jsas Mossier, secretary of the Indiana G..A., are two other Riverside amateurs entered. William DalgHesh. Indianapolis C. C- pro. will uphold his clan along with John Simpson, runmrup in general and in particular runnerup to th* state and the Indianapolis city championships. O. C.

Bradstreet s and baton (a specialist, and Fred Steele, successful salesman. An effort is being made to bring the two young Irvington stare, John Cady and Telford Orbiaon, to Kokomo, but the tods can not get off to mak* the tour-

nament.

Harry Schopp, South Grove professional, will be here Tuesday morning at the latest Other South Grove representative# are an-

ticipated at most any moment.

The events, which will begin on Tuesday and end on Wednesday, are expected to attract a good gallery- Kokomo to a golfing community and the arrival of so many clubs and celebrities and salt case# is touring its bead. The city is making Mr. Everyduffer

Riverside courses here on October 1 and 2, which wfil be open tp all women to Indiana and which will virtually decide the state women s title. A* an Indiana women's golf association to not to existence and a women s branch of the Indiana Golf Association Is not alive, the competition can not exactly be called a title one. However, a definite organization will be effected at the tournament this fall. It is expected, and the event will then become an annual one and sanctioned state title play. Womens golf has been growing in th* west by leaps" and bounds and the Women’s Western Golf Association is now a very active body. A trophy has been donated for the tournament by James H. Low**, superintendent of Indianapolis parks, who is a golf enthusiast, and since both Riverside and South Grove are municipal courses, he has a rather t«nal interest in their affaire. The will be thirty-six holes, an eighteen round to be held each day of the tournament. M
