I HE qualification round of
the championship drewta
field of eighty partici
pants, one of the largest
in the history of these
contests, and developed
the most brilliant amateur golf ever seen
here, three of the players finishing under
eighty, and with many ties between that
figure and eighty-eight, which marked
the limit of qualification for the Presi
dent's or Championship cup division.
The golf medal offered for the best score
in qualification went to Allan Lard of
the Columbia Golf Club, Washington,
with a card of 76, with Ernest N. Wright
of the Woodland Golf Club, Auburndale,
second in 78, C. L. Becker of the same
club, third in 79, and Fred Ilerreshoft',
runner-up to II. Chandler Egan in the
Amateur Championship, fourth in 82.
THE CARDS.
Lard:
Out 5 4 3 5 3 6 6 4 4-40
In 52465352 536-76
Wright:
Out 5 3 3 6 4 6 6 4 441

Herrcshoff :
Out 4 4 4 6 5 5 6 4 442
In 64555463 3 40 fc2
These cards represent the finest ama
teur tournament golf ever seen here,
Lard's score being two strokes better
than the best qualification score ever
madehere by Walter Travis, the British
champion, and Wright's score equalling
the card which Travis made in qualifica
tion in last year's championship. In this
season's Inauguration Tournament Travis
qualified at 81.
The scores are all the more remarkable
in view of the lengthening of the course,
which is generally conceded to make it
three strokes harder than last year, and
in view of the fact that the round was
played in a heavy downpour of rain.
Never was there a better demonstra
tion, however, of the peculiarity of the
local course under conditions which else
where would have made anything like
golf utterly out of the question. The
sandy soil of the fair green absorbed the
rain almost as it fell, and the main diili
culty experienced upon the putting greens
was found in pools of water which at
times made good work difficult.
