Tho entries in the Silver Tnssic tournament at Gleneagles have been unequalled for years for size and class. This tournament is regarded as a useful pipeopener to tho amateur rli-nii-piouship at St. Andrews. Farrier was one of the 130 entrants, among whom is tho holder Tassio Sweeney, (lie South African Locke, and other stars. Perrier gave a magnificent performance in the first, round over the, King’s course. Mis figures out. being 564 6 3 4 4 2 5 and in l 34535 43 4. Ho tied for leading place with the multimillionaire Captain Francis, of Dundee. Kenneth Median and Locke putted poorly. Perrier’s second round on the Queen’s course in the nfternoon was 68, giving him an aggregate of 140, which won for him tlie Silver Ta.s.sii-. Ferrier played faultlessly. Ids iron shots dropping round tho pin, nut at the eighteenth took throe putts which prevented him living with the amateur record of 67, His figures out were ■I 2 4 4 3 5 5 3 -1 end in 4 4 4 4 3 3 4 3 5 Fender’s aggregate is the lowest with which'the ’Lassie was ever won. the nearest, being Cyril Tooley’s 141 in 1925. Locke and Sweeney finished with 149. R. S. Walker, Root-fish < - hampion, 73 and 71 : au-d G. A. Hill, o Sandy Lodge, 74 and 70; were Forr'en’s near est opponents. Mechlin scored 72 and 7d, Sweeney 79 and 70, Locke 78 and 71. Francis was not in Hie first: eleven. F rrior is regarded as one ot tho likely winners of the open championship.
