SWEETZER PLAYS GREAT GILF II BEATING JONES Evans Disposes of Knepper in Easy Style in Second Semi-Final. | By WILLIAM 3 LAVE NS M’NUTT Cpyright, 1922, by United News THE COUNTRY CLUB, BROOKLINE, Mass., Sept. 9.—A young collegian from the East and a public links veteran from the "West. Those ' are the two left out *of the field of starters for the amateur national championship, which proves, apparently, that golf is a game that proves nothing. Chick Evans of Chicago and Jesse Sweetser of New York were to meet today for the national title. Evans, three times amateur and once open champion, a cool, tired, murderously effective old golfer, to whom a national event Is Just another of those things that happen every year, and Sweetser, young Yale man, ] full of fight and ambitious, 20 years old and certain that the greatest day of his life is this Saturday on which he plays for the national championship. The bored, cruelly effective veteran and the ardent youngster. Toss a coin and take your pick. In the first nine holes of the morning play Jess picked up six holes on the Atlanta boy. > Flays Great Shot Six down at the turn in the morning, Jones started in to play the kind of golf of which he is capable. He j came in two under par for the last | nine and while doing this succeeded j In picking up only one hole on Sweet- j ser, finishing five down. Sweetser j was home in 69, for a course record, I 2 under par. Jones played golf during the afternoon but not the brand to pick up five holes on Sweetser or even hoid the Yale whirlwind even. He played the outgoing nine of the second round in one under par and : i >ost three more holes to Sweetser do- | ing it. On the sixth Jones was a foot i from the hole with his first putt. Sweetser laid him a dead stymie, his ball resting right on the lip of the cup, the slightest touch would have dropped it in. Jones called for his mashie niblick played over Sweetser’s ball and holed beautifully. It was the southern boy’s one moment of triumph for the day. When he was finally defeated on the 11th of the second round ; Jones explained the day’s affair fully. “I can’t beat that kind of golf and I never could.” he said.

TENNIS GIANTS WADE THROUGH FIRST MATCHES Big Field in National Meet Weeded Out a Bit in Initial Round. By United News PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.—The big names in the national singles championship tournament remained in the brackets for further com- j jietition on the manicured courts at the Germantown Cricket Club after ; Friday’s preliminary matches had been played. There were fifty-nine matches on the schedule for the first round, several were defaulted, however. William T. Tilden, American cham- ; pion; Gerald L. Patterson, of Aus- ! tralia, the Wimbledon champion; Little Bill Johnston, of California, former American champion: Norris I Williams of Boston: Manuel Alonso of Spain and Vincent Richards of Yonkers. all won their contests. Johnson was given a tremendous cheer when he appeared on the court in recog i nition of his great tennis at Forest ■ Hills on Tuesday when he settled the i Davis Cup on America for another j year by defeating Patterson, j Other front rank players who survived were Howard Voshell, Charles :a. Garland and Robert Kinsey. Pat O'Hara Wood of the Australian team had a difficult struggle before he eliminated Arthur Mathis of Philadelphia. 6 3, 6-1. Walter Westbrook, the Detroit col'ege star, lost to Zenzo Shimizu of 'ust year’s Japanese Davis cup team. 6-4, 7-5, 6-3. The courts were in fine condition and tlie stands, which are on three sides of the center courts, were well filled.

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP Pirates Pass [Tp Chance to Cut In On Giants—\oung Pitcher Makes Fine Start for Indians —Other Sport Notes. By ED VIE ASH

Fans who have been pulling for the Pirates to overtake the Giants in the National League race just abou t saw their favorites knocked out of the opportunity Friday. The Giants lost again, but the Pirates did likewise. If Pittsburgh could have put that game with the Cubs over it would have been only three and one-half games behind. It wos hard luck for the Buccaneers, but their pitchers seem to be weakening the same as the New York staff.

Reb Russell got his dally flock of hits, two singles and a triple. He has done more than his share to help his new team strugglo for the pennant. He evidently means to continue slugging the ball the remainder o£ the season. The National race now is similar in a way to the Association finish. The chief interest seems to be in "the ! struggle for second place with four i clubs involved. Os course, the Giants are not so far out In front to make them safe, but a lead of four and onehalf games at this stage Is quite an advantage. New York Yankees were back on top in the American sprint Saturday morning. They beat Washington Friday while the Browns were losing to Detroit. Two famous pitchers got their bumps, the Yanks trimming Walter Johnson and the Tigers bombarding Urban Shocker. It now appears as though the championship in the American will be decided when Yanks and Browns clash in their final meeting. That set of games gives every indication of being a world’s series In itself. In the early afternoon Friday Rogers Hornsby tied Ken Williams for the major home-run lead when he crashed his thirty-fifth circuit wallop | off the Reds at Cincinnati. Later in tin* afternoon Williams stepped out In ! front again by connecting for his ; thirty-sixth homer In the game with the Tigers. It was his fourth circuit hit In his last four games. George Sisler hit safely in thirtyseven consecutive games when he got two safeties off Detroit hurling. That feat put him only three behind the modern major league record for consecutive game hitting. The record Is forty and was established by Ty Cobb. Greetings to Pitcher Fred Fits Fitzsimmons. The. youhtful flinger from Muskegon made his first start for the Indians at Toledo Friday and won. 10 ] to 3. He was slightly wild, but he j displayed real nerve and curves and j was found for only seven hits! Hamel, rookie outfielder, got two hits. The work of the two youngsters has not been sensational, but it has been good enough to convince the Tribe owners they got something for their money. The Indians got eighteen hits Friday.

BASEBALL’S FAMOUS COMEDIAN

f '''Pf; ~ ? ■' i i J* ' ” I * • & W j

f Kidding Nick Altrock, coach of the Washington nine, is like monkeying with a buzz saw. There's always a sharpComeback. It makes little difference whether his team's losing or winning, the famous comedian laughs— At the whole show. His antics are often the brightest spots of the game ) at home and on the road. AMATEURS PLAY I Citizens Gas, Odd Fellows and Moe Bridges in Four Games. City amateur leaguers and the Moe Bridges of Milwaukee, teams affiliated with the National Baseball Feclera : tion, were to open a week end of baseball Saturday afternoon that calls for ! four games. In the first of a twin hill at Wash- | ington Park today the Citizens Gas : and Brooks! Jo Odd * Fellows were to I meet to decide the city league cham i pion in Class AA. The winners were to play the Milwaukee Moe Bridges in the second contest of the afternoon. I The Sunday double program will be staged at Pennsy Park (Woodside), J j the Indianapolis winner again hook- ! ing np with the Moe Bridges. The j American Central Life team, Indian a polls Class A champions, were in : Milwaukee today to open a three ! game series with the Single A Fed oration title holders of the Cream : City. The Central Life nine was sent ; when the Broadway M. E. team was s forced to forego the trip because of its rule forbidding Sundny ball.

Perhaps they mean to crash that old ball in the September wind-up days. The Indians were to close at Toledo Saturday afternoon, after which they will move over to Columbus to bid the Senator fans farewell for the | 1922 season. The Shannon twins of Columbus I b' ot too close to each other Friday. They collided going after a fly hall ( and Twin Joe received a twisted ankle. The Senators downed the Colonels. It was a case of ’'git for home, Bruno,” again at St. Paul. Bruno Haas crashed a home run In the first inning with two mates on b(te.
