(By VAGRANT).

London, Sept. 5.

The first of the Southern sec- tion qualifying rounds of_the News of the World £1,250 Pro- fessional Tournament was played at Kingswood yesterday. A fur- ther round will be played there to-day, and those who qualify for the 24 places allotted to South-- a small allotment, it seems, con- sidering the strength of Southern golf-will play in the match-play stages at Royal Mid-Surrey on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week.

By mid-day it was apparent that there would be intense lighting for the qualifying places. C. A. Whitcombe returned a 09. Henry Cotton came in a minute or two later with the same figaro. Seventy-onea and seventy two continued to come in steadily. By the end of the day 20 players returned 72 or better; A. Compston had joined those on the 69 mark: C. Denny had token the lead with 48; and finally James Adams, the Scottish International at Romford, had gone to the head of the field with a brilliant 07.
