THERE were sensations in plenty here to-day in the second stage of the British Open Golf Championship. Gene Sarazen, who once won the title with the then lowest score on record-283- failed to qualify for the last two rounds, and others to suffer a similar fate were Tony Manero, U. S. Ryder Cup player, Alfred Perry, British Ryder Cupper, Max Faulkner, who played brilliantly in the qualifying tournament, Joe Kirkwood, who lost his mother to-day, Ernest Whitcombe and several other prominent players.
The qualifying score which permalts | competitors to figure in the last two rounds of the championship was set at 163 or belter.
At the close of the day's play, Reginald Whitcombe, British player, led the field with a total of 142. Next
