He said he desired to play other matches in Australia and New Zealand against M'Conachy. DUNLOP GOLF TOURNAMENT Pr*M Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, May 1. (Received May 2, at 1.15 p.m.) The Dunlop golf tournament attracted 119 entries. Those with 153 and under qualified for the competition proper, which will be over seventytwo holes. The leaders were:—Mitchell and E. Whitcombe (137), R. Whitcombe and Compson . (139), Padgham and Allis (141), King (142), Perry and C. Whjftcombe (143), Easterbrook and Haver/ (144), Lacey and Cotton (145). Others were Ray (147), Denny and Hodson (148), Dailey and Davies (last year’s winner, 149), Duncan (151), Seymour (153). A feature of to-day's play was that Mitchell, aged forty-eight, with 72 and 66, shared the leading place among those who qualified. Mitchell so far has had a wonderful season. Critics are of opinion that since he returned to hickory shafts he hits the ball more accurately than ever.
