GOLFERS START SECOND ROUND St. Andrews, Scotland. May 27. —■ <U.R) The first important American! defeat In the British amateur golf: championship was scored today when W. Spark, a Briton, eliminated Dr. O. F. Willing of Portland. Ore., in a second round match. The score was 2 and 1. Meanwhile George Von Elm of I D troit was scoring a victory over Dj- IT. Gardiner Hill of the Royal and Ancient club. St. Andrews, by | a score of four and two. Roland Mackenzie of Wilming- , top. Del., another of the leading Americans in the tournament, won: by default in his first match. His scheduled opponent. H. M. Cairn+s of Portmarnock reported himself ill and unable to play. Willing and Spark had drawn first round byes. Willing waged a gallant, up-hill fight against his less famous aclversary. He had been one down at the turn, having failed to lie more titan all square with his opponent at any time during the outward nine. Finding himself while Spark faltered in the early incoming nine, Willing went one up after 12 hoi s were played. Willing's sixth hole drive was bunkered. He made a great approach and putted dead on the seventh to win with a four. He overran the pin on the eighth to take a four, on? over par. He hooked his drive but sank a three yard; putt to halve the ninth in fours.

Willing came back strongly on I the Incoming nine and was one up lon Spark after 12 holes had been ! played. Willing hud 4-4-4, while i Spark had 4-5-5. Willing found a hunker with bis I second shot on the tenth, but re-| covered well to earn a half. He two-putted the eleventh .from 414 I I yards, but won with a four. Spark brought the match to level by winning the 13th. hole of cross. • with a four to a five when Willing's second was short and his I third passed the pin by a stout five yards. They halved the 14th in par fives wh*n Willing's mashie left him ' short. There were three things wrong ' I with Willing's game. He was con-1 sistently short with his putter, too stiong with his shorter irons and . his driv s often went into bunk--1 ers. Willing's woes began early and continued. On the first hole he was short with his approach and putted too strongly, while Spark ran down a 15-foot putt for a birdie. That combination left its mark on the rest of Willing** round. Spatk. a bank-teller and virtually unknown to important golf, became the first giant-killer of the 1930 championship. George Von Elm of Detroit was two up on Gardiner Hill, a member of the Royal and Ancient duh itere. after they had played nine holes. Von Elm went out in 37. [ one over par, while Hill had a 40. Von Elm had two birdies on his . outward nine. Von E in sliced his drive into the rough on the second hole. He got off a great drive on the fifth to leave Hill away by 40 yards, but ' Hill holed a four-yard putt to gain

a httlf. i George went into the rough again lon the sixth, hut recovered to I within ton yards of the pin. Again on the seventh Von Elm had the , longer drive, getting 70 yards more I than Hill but finding a bunker. He 'pulled his drive on the eighth and took three putts. The wind car-1 II ied his drive to the heather on the ninth, but Von Elm recovered Ito within one yard from the pin to halve In binlies three. o— —— STANDINGS Central League W. L. Pct.!

It is obligatory that two men ride in each car starting in the rue .! This is the first race since 1922 that two man cars have IK-en the vogue. For the past seven years ’ cars have been only wide enough to seat tile dtiver. Many pilots in the approaching race, feeling they! are not dependent in any way on j a riding mechanic, are castiug about lor niidg t riding compan-l ions, reducing tlieir weight to a minimum. Race cars may he powered wit it motors as large as 366 cubic inches piston displacement or approximately four times as large as the power plants used in the rac during the past four years. This nilI ing was made to include motors of tne approximate size of the better known passenger cars to today. It is anticipated that there will b? motors varying in size from 91*4 cubic inches piston displacement to the maximum of 366. Already there nr’ being built cars which will be powered with four, eight and sixteen cylinder motors. " s must weigli 1,750 pounds. Compulsory weight of car is 7*4

pounds p r cubic Indi piston dis-, placement of motor. Cars power- i ed as high as 231 cubic inches need weigh only 1.750 pounds. If any cars are powered with maximum glisten displacement motors the eni tire car must weigh 2.745 pounds. ' Average weight of two man cars tn other years of two man cars was j 2.500 pounds. Superchargers will not bo per- ! mitted in use on gas combustion motors in the race. Superchargers came into use when engine rs had I to perfect this delicate blower In- ■ strument to foie* gasoline into the ' smaller motors which have been in jus They are discarded this year in an attempt to increase the effij deucy of motors of the size now its-d in passenger cars. Only one carburetor to each | eight cylinders is permitted. Two valv s to each cylinder are all tiiat I will be allowed. Other rules involve Diesel typ* of power plants but none of these will be ready for this year's race. It is understood. The principal diff rence in the appearance of th" ears when they roll to the starting line, is that they will he built larger to seat two men — driver and mechanic — instead of merely the driver.

Carey who will l> • among the 1 leading contenders at Winchester, smashed the existing mark at the [ "long" half-mile banked oval *at Huntington and set a record of 28 seconds for future pilots to aim at. Carey declar’d, after the Huntington races, that the day's work was ! ally half the story. I "Watch me smash that 24.1 seconds record at Winchester next F.iday”, he told Frank E. Funk who is pr sident of both the Hunt-; ington and Winchester spe tiwayj corporations. "If I don’t I won't I touch a cent of prize money.” The Winchester record of 24.1 seconds was set by Bob Carey, now wearing Dayton colors for Vance but formerly the idol of And rson, Ind., fans, and Ira Hall, of Terre
