BRITISH OPEN GOLF

CHAMPIONSHIP

Cotton Heads The Leaders

London, June 25. In the British Open Golf second. and last qualifying round which is being played on the cources at at Mulrfeld and Gullane to-day, Cotton, Brews, Alliss and Mac- donald Smith appear to have no difficulty in qualifying unless a blow-up occurs, but Picard is re- garded as America's chief threat. I is felt also that Lawson Little will be relegated unless he im- proves considerably.

THE LEADERS

The following were the leaders at 2 p.m. to-day:--

Macdonald Smith, Lawson Little, Alliss and Burton have

not yet handed in their cards.

The qualifying score is likely to be in the ntighbourhood of 153,- Reuter
