GOLFERS REACH I FINAL ROUNDS { Beverly Country Club, Chjgago, Sept. 5. — (U.R) The golfing trail j blazed by Francis Oulmet through j 19 championships from 1913 down [ to 1931 reached another milestone! today in the final round of the nat-1 lonal amateur golf tournament. Titless for 10 years, Quintet faced 'Jack Westland, of Chicago, in the 36-hole final match which gave! him an opportunity to win back the amateur crown he held in 1914. Back in 1913, Oulmet was called! the finest golfer in this country by I Jerome D. Travers, famous old , champion, and after 19 years, the! lespectacled Bostonian remains one' of America's outstanding players. ! For an opponent Oulmet had a i young Chicago broker who has! qualified in only one previous national amateur tournament. Experience and a methodical! game which never wavers despite I an opponent's rally or lapse, made I Quintet a favorite to succeed Bob- 1 by Jones, retired titleholder who is j now plodding links in the role of j journalist. Described by contestants and i gallery as a "fishy-cold" competitor. Westland promised to give l Ouimet one of the most trying tests! of his long and mercurial carjer. Between draughts from a tall! l’rqsted glass. Westland remarked I in lieverTy's noisy locker room af-| ter yesterday's matches: “Wouldn’t it be great if Ouimet | could win back the title he held so long ago? Bight now I almost hope! he wins it hut tomorrow I'll feel: different and I'll be out there trying as hard as I know how to win from him." “Do you have any fear of Ouimet j because of his experience and steady play?" “Absolutely none.” the slim Chi-[ cagoan answered. "I’ve been play-j ing this game of golf since 1 was! IB and it’s uncertain as the stock market. Today on the heights, to- j morrow in the depths." The long, hard climb to the finals ended yesterday when Ouimet. I down to an opponent for the first \ time during the tournament, tri- ( umphed over young Billy Howell, j Richmond, Va., in a see saw match 1 which was squared seven times.! Ouimet’s magic putter won for him ! on the 35th hole, 2 and 1. In the other semi-final Westland, conquered Maurice T. "McCarthy, Jr., New York, son of a professional golfer, 3 and 2. Westland’s abil-! ity to outplay his opponent on the ‘ first nine holes of each round once i more proved the winning margin for the slender Chicagoan. It was j on the first nine that Westland j shot a 33, three under par, to lead the first day's qualifying. • Against ' McCarthy he shot a 37, one over j par, i nthe morning and finished all 1 even, but he shot another 37 in the j afternoon and won five holes while j losing only one. o _ Major League Leaders Following averages compiled by the United Press include games played Friday.

Chicago. They proved this again 1 vesterday when they whipped the j Cul! L for the fifth straight time, j Tlie score was 12 to 3. The defeat did not cost Chicago third place, however, as the New York Giants trimmed the fourthplace Brooklyn Robins. 3 to 0. : Bill Walker held the Robins to j \ eight scattered hits. The Giants now trail the lead- i injg St. Louis Cards’ by seven 1 games. “Wild Bill” Hailahan lived up I to his nickname as the Pittsburgh ■ Pirates defeated the Cards 3 to 1. i With the score tied at one all in the eighth, the St. Louis southpaw | walked two batsmen and allowed two hits which gave the Pirates! their winning tallies. Strong pitching bv Phil Collins ; and heavy hitting featured Phila-j delphia's 11 to 1 triumph over the! Boston Braves. In the American League, Wash * ington's Senators strengthened their grip on second place by de- i feating the New York Yankees 5| to 4 in ten innings. Myer, Wash- j ington seoor'l baseman, was the | star of the game. It was his! double that tied the score in the i and his single that drove; over hte winning run in the tenth.) Philadelphia's leading Athletics i took a double-header from the J Boston Red Sox, 2 to 0. and fi to 1 j Lefty Grove allowed the Red Sox ! but three hits in the opening! game. Waite Hoyt allowed but j seven hits in winning the night- 1 cap. In the only other American i game played Detroit nosed oul j Chicago 4 to 3. Whitehill held * the White Sox to six safeties. Yesterday's Hero—Myer. Wash- j ington second baseman, whose j timely hitting gave the Senators i a 5 to 4 ten-inning victory over the New York Yankees.

AIR ROCKET TESTS WILL BE IN AFRICA New York Professor Picks Desert Site For New Experiments Tripoli, Sept. 5. (U.R) —Professor Darwin O. Lyon, of New York, who i arrived here recently to examine ■the Lilian desert in an effort to find a suitable site for his next ex-; j periment of launching a rocket pro-1 ! jectile into the upper atmosphere,* explained his preference for ex perimenting here. ' I have chosen Misda because the * 'atmosphere is particularly clear, i ! and in the midst of the desert j there is a convenient hill, on which' 1 can place my apparatus for firing ! off tlie rocket.” Professor Lyon said that the ob- ! ject of his experiments was to ob- ! tain scientific data about the upper ! strata of the atmosphere. "So far. researches have been made with aerostats, airplanes ami balloons, hut tlie highest altitude reached is only about 36,000 met- ! ers." Built Six Projectiles The scientist stated that so far' he had constructed six rocket pro jectiles. working with a succession l i of explosives in attached chambers, t ; Os these rockets, three exploded at! the moment of launching them, one partly exploded in the laboratory. I land another was destroyed by the j carelessness of a mechanic. ( In 1929 one rocket reached an j altitude of 9,500 meters. The professor said that stories regarding his intention to .ihixJl a * rocket at the moon were purely “fantastic. "My/ researches are directed toward an exploration of the upper j atmospheres and nothing else.” ! Explaining the working of the j locket, which is about nine feet I long and weighs over 300 pounds, ! he said: 30 Veters a Second “I have been able to develop a ' system o fcontinuous rapid exploI sions, which, following each other quickly, impart to the projectile
