Down the spacious, windy fairways of Gleneagles, Scotland, perhaps the grandest golf course in the world, professionals from far and wide beat their balls as they qualified to play for the annual bag of a thousand guineas ($5,000). Vivacious Aubrey Boomer of St. Cloud, France, led them all with a record 69, until swart Abe Mitchell passed him with a pair of 70's for the two rounds. Joe Kirkwood, sole U.
