Flay at SO Play in yesterday's 36-hole qualifying test, ployed In 20 districts, doveloped few surprises although perhaps a dozen well-known figures failed to make the grade. Among these were Chick Evans, former amateur and open champion; Jock Hutchison, once holder of the British open crown; George who won the national open in 1903; Emmett French, Alex Ayton, Charley Hall and a scattering few young hut formidable amateurs such as Cinne Homans and Jack Westland, runnere-up respectively, for the national amateur championships of 11130 and 1931, and Charley Yates, Georgia etatc tltieholder.

Tho state track and field meet for Kansas High schools to be held at Emporia Friday and Saturday is all that remains on the 1933 track program but It may be that the state-wide event will be staged without Hutchinson representation W.

E. 'Bill" Upson, local high school track and field coach, said ho was uncertain whether the local school will be represented at Emporia, "We may eend the half mile relay team but that Is all," said Upson. Competition Too Keen. Final decision in the mutter was expeeted to be reached today. Hutchinson placed second In the regional meet at Bussell last weekend and the locals have enough men qualified to send almost an entire team to Emporia.

However, due to tho spirited competltnon which is certuin to exist in the state meet local school officials feel that It would be useless to send a full squad to Emporia. Coach Upson said he would recommend about 17 high "chool for track letters. Names will be announced later. Collega Through Finis was written to the Junior college track schedule last week with the running of the decathlon event Captain Eustace Shannon captured the honors as tile school's beat all-around track and field athlete. "We're all through for this season," said Coach Charley Sesher.

Tho Blue Dragons have enjoyed a very successful campaign, winning a number of dual and quadrangular meets and placing second to Fort Scott In the etate conference show. Regular letters wilt be recommended for the following junior college tracksters; Shannon, Ramsey, Williams, Marteney, Stark, Hardy, Peters, liinman, Howard, Ringer, Bruda, Walker, King and Redmun. Reserve letters will be uwurded to Babbitt, Gibbons, Case and Parker. Three Junior college tennis pluy- ers, Leon and Julius Kaplan, brothers, und Ross Walkup, will get letters la that sport.

With the first round of the lnter- sectional clashes in both leagues complete and the second scheduled to start today, a review of the results show the strength of the National League to be in the western half of the circuit, as expected, but contrary to pre-season predictions the Western clubs of the American League virtually held their own against the powerful Eastern outfits.

In the National League, the western clubs won 24 and tied one of the 42 games played on the Atlantic seaboard. The Invasion of west by the Yanks, Senators, Athletics and Red Sox In the American League netted only 18 victories, however, as compared to 17 defeats. Ghtr.ts Have Good Average. The New York Giants was the only team In the oastern half of tho Heydler circuit able to match the power of the Pirates, Reds, Cubs and Cardinals. They won seven and lost four whllo the Braves dropped nine of their 14 gomes, the Dodgers lost five out of seven and the Phillies were defeated six times In nine, starts.

The Cards and Reds made the beat showing of the western clubs, the former winning eight of their eleven contests and the latter accounting for six of their ten starts. The league-leading Pirates and Cubs broke even in ten games each. The Cleveland Indians compiled by far the best record, however, In climbing to top junior circuit. They won seven games and dropped only two as tho White Sox broke even In eight contests, the BrownB won four out of nine and the Tigers finished with tho high score in three of their nine encounters. Win 4, Lose S.

The world champion Yankees failed to break even, winning only four of their nine games. Only the lowly Red Sox made a poorer showing and they dropped five out of eight. The Senators finished with six vlotorfes and five defeats and Athletics with four triumphs as compared with three setbacks. The Phillies In the National League and the Indians in the American led the advance into foreign territory in the only games played in both leagues yesterday and both lost. The Pirates took the measure of the Phillies 5 to 4 to climb back into the National League leadership with a half-game advantage over the Idle Giants while the Athletics trimmed the Indians 1 to 0 in a pitching duel between Merrit "Sugar" Cain and Willis Hudlln.

Although defeated the Indluns retained a half-game advuntage over the Yanks. In The Rough By Adam Duffer Armory Kali The Security Benefit Association hung up a 9 to 8 victory over the Battery A team in an American league armory ball contest last night In the National circuit Clark Motor Co. pastlmers batted out a 11 to 9 win over the Rosier Oilers. Won my first tournament match of the year last evening at Carey Lake. The first tournament match seldom Is hard for me.

My difficulties usually develop In the second or third. Howard McCarty, my sturdy southpaw rival of long standing, was the victim of my twin 46's. Howard was not up to form especially the form be showed recently when he turned in a 41 on the inside nine at Carey Lake. That temporary green, or bit of prairie on No. 18, is certainly my hoodoo.

I havo yet to make it In less than five. Short holes generally are easy for me but I can't be sure of a putt on that bare prairie until I'm within a foot of the cup. I had two fairly good opportunities for birdies during our match and broke even. I missed my short putt on No. 2 and made it on No.

11. Howard was having trouble on the green, which added considerably to the strokes he required. I had one really bad hole, although I was two over on No. 6, No. 9, No.

14 and No. 18. On No. 13 I wound up with aru B. I bad four pars and a birdie.

I have a chocolate malted milk coming from John Montgomery of the Fifth Ave. drug store. He bet me I would lose as we started down No. 1 fairway. I had two fair rounds at the Country Club Sunday, taking euch notable golfers as Jim Davis, Harry Davis and Scott Clark for a ride in the morning.

I wasn't much account on the first nine but did much better coining home. The perfect weather lured me foi a second round in the afternoon Jind and again It was on tho inside nine that I played my best golf. Until recently I could always count on taking 5 to 10 more strokes on the inside than the outside nine. I muffed a chance for a real score on that closing nine. I was playing with George Gano and Dave Mitchell.

At the end of No. 18 I had taken but 81 strokes. Two fairly good ehots on No. 17 took me to within 20 or 25 yards of the green and It looked like a cinch five. I topped my pitch shot and overran the green, dubbed one, got on in five and took two" putts for a seven.

On No. 18 I had to take six which brought me home with a 44, the same low score I had mnde twice before. I've come to the. conclusion that more than half of the game Is keeping your head down. On practically every dubbed ehot I am conscious I have looked up.

Howard McCarthy was doing that last night, which accounted for most of his trouble. Have a letter from Harry Kanat- who once was power house oa local links and who now lives in Kansas City. He finds so much to do there he is playing little golf, be says. However, he plans to be here soon and wants to try a round.
