Hunter Gets Chance to Test Net Skill Against of Bill Tilden

Eight Stars Battle for Links Title Kauffman and Serrick Favored as Quarter-Finals Start at Cleveland. BY GERALD M’CLEAN United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, Aug. s.—Of the, eight remaining contestants, in the National public links golf tournament there were two slightly favored by the experts today to face each other Saturday in the thirty-six-hole final match. Carl Kauffman of Pittsburgh, runner-up for the title last year, and William Serrick of New York, a finalist in the 1925 championship, were looked upon as having a trifle better chance to survive the quar-ter-finals and semi-finals today. While eliminating a fellow-towns-man, Joe Sahre, in the second round Thursday, Serrick broke Ridgewood’s terrible par of 72 by one stroke. Kauffmann’s success in reaching Ktie quarter-finals was attributed to rilliant playing in spots. While the experts pointed out that he is not as steady as the New York man, it was admitted he is capable of sensational playing. Close followers of this year’s tournament would like to see Kauffmann and Serrick fight it out for the title for the sake of comparing two decidedly different styles of playing. But before these two can even enter the semi-finals they must dispose of a pair of worthy opponents. Serrick was paired in the third round with young Bradley Burrows of Washington. Kauffmpnn must beat John Miller of Washington to enter the semifinals. In the other quarter-finals Kendall Rcrrison, 20-year-old youngster from St. Joseph Mo., met Frank Brokl of St. Paul, and Edward Curtin of Newark met Bob Wingate of Jacksonville, Fla.

Jeff Vs. Armstrong

Twenty-nine years ago today, Aug. 5, 1898, James J. Jeffries, then known as the San Francisco boiler maker, made his initial bow to the fight fraternity of New York in “a ten round battle with Bob Armstrong, the old Negro heavyweight trial horse of that era. The future world’s heavyweight title holder gained the referee’s decision over his dusky opponent, tout only after the latter made him Pxtend himself to the limit to win. Armstrong later became a trainer and sparring partner to Jeffries and assisted the latter in preparing for many of his triumphant championship affairs in after years. BOASTED TO WRONG MAN “That big bum of a sheriff couldn’t arrest me or anyone else. He thought he had my license number, but I got another and fooled him." Little did W. D. Nichols, Boone County farmer, realize he was talking to Sheriff Clint Sanders and a Federal agent, while selling them a gallon of moonshine whisky, when he made this remark. A few hours later Nichols was under arrest on a Federal warrant. He was arraigned here today before United States Commissioner Fae Patrick and bound over to Federal grand jury. .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WITH THE BIG LEAGUERS

By United Press A timely triple by Cliff Heathcote, substitute outfielder, kept the Cubs in undisputed possession of first place in the National League. Boston broke a tie in the eighth after a close game, but Heathcote’s hit after two men had walked gave the Cubs two runs in their half and won the contest, 5 to 4. It was the nineteenth victory of the season for Charley Root, Cubs pitcher. Meanwhile, the Pirates advanced half a game on Chicago by taking a double-header from the Phils, 8-5 and 7-3. Philadelphia had the first game won until the seventh when Pruett weakened and a Pittsburgh rally scored four runs. Ray Kremer not only pitched well for Pittsburgh in the second game, but contributed a home run and two singles. Elliott of Brooklyn relieved Clark on the mound in the seventh, when a Card rally threatened, and stopped it. The result was a 4 to 2 victory for the fighting Robins. Clark was credited with the victory. Thanks to Larry Benton, who held Cincinnati to six hits, the Giants continued their winning streak by beating the Reds 4 to 1. Carroll of Detroit held the Yankee “heavy artillery” to five hits while the Tigers were battering Dutch Ruether.
