Changes Made In Open Golf Championship

Reward In Qualifying Round An Incentive For Competitors

London, Apr. 2.

The Royal and Ancient Club has made two interesting changes in the conditions for the Open championship, at St. Andrews, in the week beginning July 3. One is the award of a money prize of £20 to the player returning the best score in the two qualifying rounds. The prize will act as an incentive for the competitors to play their bost in what hitherto has been a dull and lifeless affair.

Mr. Omur states that Lee Wal- tong, the Hongkong captain on whom so much of Honaliong's hopes were placed, hurt a thigh muscle right at the beginning of the gume when the visitors also missed an easy goal.
