A low ball Ringer contest, In which low score on each of the nine holes over the three days was counted to score, proved conducive to low scoring In the qualifying rounds Of the week-end, with the result that classes turned out as evenly matched as could be expected. Foltfjwing are the results: Ringer Tourney Scores Holes 1 2345678 Roadhouse ...33334325 Radccke 35332425 Davis 44342436 Gaff 3 5343425 Bawmann ....44333425 Duncan 54333435 With players of the championship class all registering scores of 78 and under, four tight matches arc In store for the top flight. Recovers from Operation While naturally It Is expected Interest will manifested In the leading brackets, a match of Intense concern and morn or less partisanship Is anticipated In the first pair- Ing of Class In which R. F.

Radecke will assail, verbally as well as physically, his ancient rival, Martin Bristow. Radecke, who acquired the title of Captain while leading the Rock Spring contingent on a number of crusades into foreign fields, ha-s augmented his already formidable set of matched irons with a pair of clubs which he terms bludgc-lrons, and has developed his game materially. Recuperating from a double operation last winter, the captain has flashed into the parrlng horizon in the last few weeks, taking second place in the Ringer tournament, and the renewal, or continuation of this ancient feud Is watched with much concern. Rules On Forfeit Under tournament rules. C.

C. Graves, the club professional, has held that players are allowed until the expiration of the time allotted for matches in the various rounds before their places may be declared forfeited. As an example of this he cites that a player's opponent may call on him to play a match before the expiration date, and if it is possible for him to play at that time, the player has until the last day of play for that particular round to carry out the match before he may be declared as having forfeited. Following out this ruling, the one who Is ready to play on the last day will receive the match by forfeit, It his opponent, Is not ready to play. List of Pairings The pairings follow: H.

But Jones, defending champion, alone among the competitors, was reluctant to change his estimate of 294 for the four rounds of tournament play despite his brace of 72's Sunday and his sensational shooting with Diegel just before Monday's sunset. The champion and the smiling challenger from the professional ranks scored 70's beating the old record of 71 made last week by Jock Hendry. St. Paul pro.

Prom among the contending pros came the most lavish low score largely on the form shown by Jones, Diegel, Walter Hagen and others. Hagen Starts With 32. Tommy Armour, winner in 1927, declared that 200 would win this year. Denny Shute. young professional from Columbus, said 288 or 289 would be the low net.

A few insisted that if playing conditions were ideal there would be a good chance to tie the low score record for open meets set In Minneapolis in 1918 by Chick Evans with 286 at Mlnlkahda, only a few miles from Interlachen but this group was small Indeed. Hagen. who Monday set a record of 32, four below par, for the first nine holes to play four strokes over par on the last nine, is convinced the course has enough troublesome possibilities to upset predictions of a low score. Johnny Fnrrell, Willie MacParlane, Jim Barnes and Qene Sarazen, all former champions who are maklng-the most of practice time, agreed they looked for a low total but not with any degree of certainty. Johnny Goodman Does 71.

For several days the weather has been extremely warm and almost breezeless. The contour of the course Is such that if winds come up. two strokes over par will be nn achievement In the opinion of Willie Ktdd, veteran Interlachen pro, who himself smashed out a round at par Monday. Johnny Goodman, the young Omaha amateur who hunted around to get free passage to Pebble Beach on the Pacific Coast last fall to eliminate Bobby Jones, the champion, from the 1929 amateur, rode comfortably to the open in automobile this year but he brought the same sticks. Monday he made his debut on the tournament course with par breaking 71, which he said was "Just a lucky break." Every entry who Intends to expected to complete one or more practice rounds today.

A resolution passed unanimously yesterday officially declares July 14, the day Bobby returns from his golfing wars in Europe and Minneapolis, a legal holiday.

8 HUTE Jby Denny Shute Hortln Smith Uses a Weighted Concave Niblick To Lift His Ball Out of a Sandtrap. Any discussion of pitch shots, which includes backspln and pltch- and-run shots, explosion shots and some others, is of interest to the average golfer. First, however, I want to tell you of a freak club thai Horton Smith uses with a great deal of success. It is a niblick designed especially for dipping into the sand. The club has the usual deep face of the nib- lick but the back is concaved and in that space are lead weights, giving the club a weight of something like 14 ounces.

Smith has becomes a shark at using the club. He drives It through the sand beautifully and picks up the ball as nice as you please. Smith's favorite trick with the club Is to hit an inch back of the ball and pick it up Into the air, to lay It on the green only a foot or two from the cup. (Copyright, 1930, NBA Service, Inc.)

The Improvement is the result of a year's experimentation by Earl Thomson, Naval Academy coach; Harold Barron, Georgia Tech mentor, and Hillman, all star hurdlers in their day. The design presented by this committee has been accepted by the Association of Track Coaches of American and also by the Athletic Federation which means that the hurdle undoubtedly will be used in future Olympic competition.
