JESS SWEETSER, GOLF STAR, REGAINS HEALTH AFTER LONG STRUGGLE

City Bowling Gossip

By Lefty Lee -

299 SCORE POSTED: Lorenz Wiesman a member of the Marott Shoe Shop team and manager of the Elk Club alleys, rolling

his singles in the city tourney Monnight, established anew record for this class of play ■ and failed to roll a perfect score hy the margin of only one pin. Starting with games of 202 and 214 he put in eleven in a row and a stubborn ten pin on his last ball was all that kept him from the hall of fame and a perfect 300. This gfves “Wie”

Wiesman

a total of 715 and first plape In the S singles event. M. Wimberly was second high for the night, having games of 219, 235 and 208, for a total of 662, which puts him In fourth place in the singles event. In the all-events Wiesman again puts in his appearance, his 715 pulling his total up to 1,906 pins, which puts him in second place to Frank ylourbier, who has the lead tucked PLway with a total of 1,956 pins. New leaders appeared in the city tourney doubles play Monday night, when “Chuck” Schoit and Sargent of the Eni-Roe team turned in games of 386, 446 and 435 for a total of 1,267.. “Chuck” was captain of this team by a narrow margin of five pins, 636 to 631. The Schoen brothers, A. C. and A. J., were next high for doubles play, getting a total of 1.211. which lands them in seventh place. Tonight’s play brings on some more good tenpin pojinders,* and it surely looks, from a standpoint of high scoring, this tourney will be a record-breaker. Wednesday night will bring on the final squads and the tourney will be a thing for stove league gossip only. New champions will have appeared in every class of play, as all of last year's champs have rolled and failed to repeat. The city tourney schedule for tonight. at the Recreation alleys follows: Two-Man, 7 P. M. * Individual*, 7:80 P. M. Alleys. Alley*. 1 o—-J. Roclt-N. Pauley . 1-1 10— O D. Eicher-W. Whipple 14 11 — E.

Meyers 12 WITH TIIE LEAGUERS The Centry League celebrated the homecoming,of the present five-man city champs, the Century Alley Five Monday night, and then proceeded to treat them as all champs have been treated in the past. The Florsheim Shoe team boys tripped them up in two-out-of-three fashion. The Banquet Ice Cream boys were in form and secured games of 1,012, and 999 for a total of 3,004. These scores were good enough to win two out of three from the Paramount Opticals. The Werbc Meissen boys, who led Ihe teams in last week’s play with 2,996 pins, came back Monday night with games of 947, 1,030 and 1,006 for a total of 2,983, and won all three games from the Century Billiards. Six hundred shooters were led by Larry Schutte, who had a-total of 688. Schutte took the lead in the city tourney singles the night before with a total of 673, so we claim this hoy is starting to get the wood. Moxley of the Werbe-Melssen team was on Schutte’s heels with a fine series of 674. Other 600 shooters were: Haagsma, 656; Sehleimer, 620; Berry, 618; Eder, 617, and Snyder, 610. S The Prest-O-Llte league games resulted in a three-tifne win for the Generators over the Radio A team while the Radio Bs and Columbia Outfits were copping two out of Lthree from the Cylinders and Super- * Service, respectively. The opponents of the R. R. Signal will roll against their scores later. These Presto hoys .bring the women wih the team, and the women, not to be outdone, have a league of their own. The Rubberlb girls downed the Automatic Power team three times, while the Radios won two out of three from the Batteries.

Winner of British Amateur Meet Recovers From Serfous Illness. Bu \ HA Service ASHEVILLE. N. C.. Dec. 7. —Jess Sweetser, second ranking American amateur golfer and the only American to ever capture the British amateur, after four months of complete rest in Asheville, N., C., is rapidly regaining the heglth he enjoyed before accompanying ;the Walker cup team overseas last spring. Sweetser, displaying perhaps the greatest nerve ever displayed on the golf-links when he grimly disregarded strict orders of his physician and trudged wearily about the links in the finals, spitting blood with almost every step, to win the British amateur for the first'tline an American ever won the title, suffered a dangerous breakdown. Played While 111 A complication of diseases, running from influenza and bronchitis to pneumonia, struck the gritty amateur star while going overseas, but Sweetser, ignoring attending physicians and practically everybody else on the trip, refused to spend the trip overseas in a hospital. He took his kit into battle and emerged with one of the greatest achievements an American amateur ever registered on foreign soil. Jess paid the price. His great victory even collected heavy interest from his manly physique. Upon re- | turning to America he was ordered to Asheville, to take a complete rest. Upon arrival at the North Carolina beauty spot, the mountainous golf courses at Biltmore and Asheville country clubs proved tantalizingly inviting to the famed amateur. At first he would merely shoot three or four holes a day. If was all he could stand. As the weeks wore along, Jess’ boyish face regained its healthy glow and the flush of youth commenced to burn his cheeks. Playing Eighteen Again Then he took a nine-hole jaunt every morning the weather permitted. Now Jess can make the eigheen without pausing and the eight-een-hole round on either of the Asheville links Is quite a piece of work, for both courses are uphill and down dale to noticeable extent. When the next national amateur is held Jess Sweetser unquestionably will be among those present. He was compelled to skip the 1926 national amateur—but Jess now Is looking ahead to the 1927 event with boyish delight. Golf fans throughout the country will rejoice with Jess Sweetser In his' remarkable comeback.
