STAGE FINAL MATCH TODAY Johnny Goodman An d Ross Somerville Play in Finals of Golf Tourney Baltimore Country Club. Mil.. Sep*. 17— (U.R)“A former Yankee caddy and a veteran Canadian ( llnksman fought today tor the United States amateur golf championship — Johnny Goodman of Omaha and Ross Somerville of Ixmdon. Ontario. Goodman moved into the championship round by heating, among others, that ever-popular easterner, Francis Ouimet of Brookline, champion in 1914. and who was defending the title which he rewon' just one year ago. Somerville's final advance was] jnade at the expense of Jesse Guilford of Boston, winner eleven J-ears ago at St. Louis. Goodman is 22. and Somerville, | 29. Both are fighting golfers. Neither talks much while playfrig a match. Somerville doesn't talk much 1 any time. Johnny is different. Match! over, wbn or lost, he’ll talk by the| hour. Loser —and he's lost plen-| ty of times despite his majoritv' acquired less than two years ago: —he'll give the other fellow full credit. But when he wins—as he ' did yesterday —he opens his heart. Bubbling over with the effervescent jubiliation of youth Johnny will admit that heating a former champion is no mean shakes. “I think I'm playing pretty good gnlf right now," he told this au-iter. ‘‘l didn't take any chances j against’ Ouimet and. unless I just j had to. f won't against - Somerville' today. Long as I can keep them fairly straight I won’t kick. You noticed how I was satisfied to come close on the greens against i Ouimet. "1 know I got three long ones! (he had two putts of 30 feet, and one of 25) but what I triy to stay' away from is three-putt greens.: (He didn't have even one threepq’ter playing Ouimet). Lordy. I how I hate those three-putters." Most of the score of golfing: writers assigned to the tournament about to be concluded on the intricate five farms course tried to interview Somerville after his blanket victory. Yes. he was glad he won. Yes. he did make some good iron shots, didn't he? Yes. he’ll have a real match against Goodman. No. he has never reached the finals of the U. S. tournament before. Somerville, whose father, now dead, was once mayor of London Ontario, means well enough. He'll answer your questions, 'But to term Somerville loqucious would be *.-oinparal>le to deciding that the Mahatma Ghandi is a giant or that Gene Tunney is a flyweight. Not even Herbert H. Ramsay, president of the U. S. G. A., would admit it. but Goodman’s progress to the final of the amateur was a blotv of blows to the national golf association. Goodman’s impressive record was studiously overlooked when the United States Walker cup team which beat the British squad was chosen several weeks back, fven the editorial screams of all the eolf writers didn’t faze the U. S. G. A. selection committee "•h<eh blandly decided Goodman I didn't belong. Thus it is no secret that Good-I man is "sore” at the U. S. G. A. I -•>/( 't would seem obvious that he found a distinct delight today in realizing that his progress to the final was accomplished by victories over three Walker cuppers and a former U. S. champion.

Happy? And How! Qj MiuC There is plenty of excuse for the broad smiles exhibited here by Manager Joe McCarthy of the New York Yankees. By their victory over the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland, the Yanks have cinched the pennant and qualified for the World Series. Incidentally Joe is the only man to lead teams to championships in both major leagues. He won the National League pennant with the Chicago Cubs in 1929. i champion. Chandler Egan, of Del Monte. Cal., was beaten in the first round. Goodman won In the second round over the popular Charley > Seaver of Los Angeles. Next he defeated Maurice McCarthy cf New York. and. finally, he beat the 'Hestpectacled Ouimet. Seaver and McCarthy were Walker cup team members; Ouimet was the captain.

THE Irish are at it again! Once again the Sons of Erin, who dominated sports a . decade or so ago. are coming into [ their own. j And it all had its inception at I Los Angeles, when two of Ireland’s small squad captured firsts in the Olympic events. Dr. Patrick O’Callaghan. brawny heaver of weights, captured the Olympic hammerthrowing championship, and Robert Tisdal! ran to victory in the 400meter hurdles. Both of these Irish lads had no sinecure in winning their respective events. Pat O’Callaghan was trailing Ville Porhola, of Finland, by some inches as the event neared its close. Pat had two tosses left. Something drastic had to be done. He hadn’t been able to toss the 16pound shot further than 170 feet and he felt badly about it. He knew he could do better than that and St. Joe Terrors Win First Game i A football game of more interest to the eu.bryo students of Knute Rockne than the Southern California-Notre Dame annual con- 1 test, took place on Niblick field this afternoon. The St. Joe Terrors defeated the John McConnell ’’Mickeys,’’ 36 to 0. and the winners did not fail to notify the sport department of the DailyDemocrat of their first great victory. The boys are planning another game next week. o HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT IS FILED IN NEW YORK — CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE exceed 10 per cent.

Sept. 17 — (UP) — Nearly a million dollars worth of pelts will be taken fr-m furbearing i animals in Indiana this winter it I w :s indicated in a report by Walter I Shirts, superintendent at the fish ' j and game division of the state eon-! serration department, based on last I i year’s figures. I A total of 4773,673.73 was paid by persons engaged in buying furs last season. Shirts reported. Most of the 1,150,694 pelts were taken by farmers and land owners and their revenue was an important addition to the farm incc-me. Shirts said. The mild winter, during which many pelts were not in prime condition, decreased the value fast year. Licensed fur dealers reported purchase of the following pelts: muskrat, 586.689; opposum, 332,

wanted to know what was holding , him back. i He decided that it was the turf. , It was hard and his spikes were long; they wouldn’t grip properly, hampering free whirling in the toss- ■ mg ring. Pat immediately sent for i a file and filed away a half inch from . each spike. Then he proceeded to toss the weight 177 feet and victory. ( Tisdall had his troubles, too. He had to fight off a last-minute chal- ; lenge from Glen Hardin, but was . equal to the task. His record, world’s and Olympic, of 51.8 was not , allowed because he knocked over one , of th< hurdles, but his feat will live . for many a vear. ' For some weeks past the cables i have been buzzing with glowing re- . ports of a young Irish heavyweight. . Jack Doyle by name “Pop” Foster, manager of Jimmy McLarnin, who I is also Irish, in case you didn’t know ' it, is authority for the statement I that Dovle is the best heavvweieht | 308; skunk 183.234; raccoon 27,391 ;| mink, 18.108, and fox 2.964.

And it’s none other than Joe McCarthy, who is - bout to lead the New York Yankeeto another—their seventh pennant There are others, too, of Celtic origin, who are following in the foot steps of the illustrious Irishmen of other days in baseball. For a time —shades of the Connors. Burkes. Kellys. Doolins, Donlins and Devlins —it seemed that the Irish were get ing fewer and fewer in the national game. But now things are perking up. There’s a young .nan in Brooklyn yclept O'Doul who is doing great things in a baseball way. We could go on and on in baseball boxing football and what have you.
