' Therefore long hitters like Hagen, tarnes and Hay nre expected to sclntil. lite nnd a straight player like nrdon fhould stay with the leaders all the way. 100 Strokes Should Qualify It Is prophesied that a score of 100 Till qualify. Eighteen holes will be iiloTftl today and eighteen tomorrow. The slxtv-four players with the lowest Kores w'ill then play two days over MTtnty-two holes for the title. The Kores'of the qualifying round will not count in the tussle for the titles. ' Thu. les than D5 per cent of the field will qualify, but n pair of elghtlea , re expected to be good enough. Just how long the scores will be depends more on tho weather than on the course. It h exposed to the wind nnd If heavy gales come up, the balls will take a lot of punishment In the trap. It rained hard yesterdav morning, but the sun came out in the afternoon, which pro tided jti't the. proper combination. A thrill ran through the whole town ef Toledo last night on the eve of what Is expected to be the greatest struggle for the open championship over wit nessed in this country. The streets were dotted with bronzed Invader, wearing the large buttons in token of being of ficially connected with the chnmpion thln. The village band came out to receive applause or other things, nnd excitement prevailed In general. The course is easily accessible as to roads except that they're so long a taxi meter blushes, or should. Anyhow, there nre plenty of taxis. The rhibhoiise and whole Inverness layout bears evidence of the work nnd money thnt has been put into it since the award to it of thp championship last January by the U. S. O. A. The cliibhouio, a pale red brick affair. Is low, huge and rambling, with every convenience to take r.nrc of the visi tors. The old clubhouse- has been turned into n combination press room, lunch room nnd general convenience house, while there arc several tempor ary (inciters nnd tents. It is n pity the flub did not have n few more months to prepare the lawns nnd general appear ance right around tho clubhouse as proposed, for It's largely new road ways, walks and barren ground. But the courec itself is beautiful. Iwin 1,11m Sunny Brook "The greens remind me of Sunnv Ilrook." stated Chnrlic nofTner, "only I think they're better. They are soft fnouch to hold tlin approaches and absolutely true for putting, not too fast nor too blow. It is one of the bet courses I lmve played. The player who hits a long ball from the tee nnd pts down in his two putts will have little to fear." HofTnerhas been grently gratified with his own game here. lie has had some very low rounds, which included a 70 yesterday.

William Leach, Mer chnntvillc, who has been going a giddy pace this season, lias had good rouuds, but the others have not scored very low in rehearsal. John Kdmondson, Llanerch, had 80 yesterday and his best round has been 77. Payers and Thom son will mako a bid, and the other two arc W. D. Bobinson, Cricket Olub, and .Tack Suwyer, Torrcsdnlc.

Then Frank McNamora, who won the Philadelphia open, and Emil Locffler, Pennsylvania open champion, are interesting to the Keystone state fans present, by the way of backing the "home talent." -" The district rivalry, however, In this championship, Is entirely submerged- by the, international flavor. Thomas Ar mour, Scotch and French amateur champion, is conceded to be the best British amateur, nnd his entry with that of Vardon nnd Bny. nroridc a real bulwark for the Americans. That'n not mentioning Peter O'Hara, champion of all Ireland, lii fact, tho deeper one goes Into this phnsc of the subject the more involved it becomes.

All eyes will naturally be pinned on the Pickaninny, tho little black cruiser owned by Bell and Tujlor ,of the Cam den .Motorboat Club. This craft has performed remarkably In handicap races in this vicinity, nnd her showing against the Cnthnm craft is being closely watched. The local boats entered for the title race are Bruno ArishofT's Dora II, of tho Itlverslde and Columbia Yacht Clubs; Mrs. Jennie Side's Lady Juno II, of the Riversldu club; Former Com modore Charles Wnlber's Josephine, of niodore Charles nlber s Josephine, of Itlverslde; Captain Yeo .Margaret, of tho Shark, property of II.

European bicy clists captured tho honors in the first bicycle events of the Olympic games. In the relay race the Americans were eliminated in the preliminary heats, while Peeters, of Holland, took the 1000-meter race with Englishmen fin ishing in second nnd third positions. The relay race was at 4000 meters nnd the Americans lowered their colors to the Belgian, Canadian nnd South African teams. Peeters, who is the Dutch cycling champion, took the 1000 meters in tho slow time of 14 2-5 seconds. Johnson nnd Ryan, both of England, were re spectively, ' second nnd third. These three were the only riders in the final. The 1000-meter race required numer ous heats, the track not permitting more than three riders to compete ot one time. Fred Taylor, of Newark, was the only Amerlcnn to reach the semi finals. No Cnnndinns got into the scmi finala. Many of the heats proved to bo farces, the riders being almost motion less as they jockeyed for positions, with the leader looking back to watch his opponents as they prepared to sprint. Severn! protests were made during the heats, but the judges did not allow them. Anthony Young, of Newark, protested Emrereur. of Belgium, for shouldering him; Hnrold Bounsall, of Toronto, ninde a complaint against the French riders, charging teamwork. while Fred Taylor, of Newark, lodged i.i..i i....i n.i.i. ,..r lia. of cutting him down.

Signing up boxers, agreeing to terms, deciding on n referee nnd other details connected with a bout nre nothing but n mere trifle, ns compared with the con tention of Kid L. M. Knts himself. The wathcr Is the biggest worry of the promoter, nnd, they do sny that he usually (deeps with his hand out of the window the night before n show. Al Freed, frcsh-nlr Impresario of boxing nt Hnltimore, has been having the experience of gambling with the weather. Kid Williams nnd Johnny Krtlo were to have boxed In the Oriole City Inst Friday night. Hnln before noon caused the promoter to postpone the show until Monday, although, lie admitted that he made n inlstnkc in do ing so because the weather changed in the p. m., and everything was lovely for n fistic debate in the evening. Yesterdny the sun was out brightly all dav and indications pointed to a clenr night for Williams and Krtle to fettle their glove difference. However, along about 7 p. in., when the crowd started to stream out toward Oriole Field, where the contest, a twelve rounder to a referee's decision, wns scheduled to be put on, the elements decidetl to butt in, throw a wrench in the works nnd everything went floole, so now Promoter Freed Is hopefully hoping that rain doesn't interfere with the detail tonight. The postponing of n bout also is a great strain on the boxers. Krtle threat ened to leave for his home In St. l'aul last night, nnd It took a lot of con versation on the part of Freed to hold him over. Williams is all upset anxious and bent on having the thing finished. ' Williams is the favorite.
