Women Start Match Play in City Golf Tournament at Coffin
Play Started in National Golf Tourney Public Links Event Gets Under Way Over Philadelphia Course. By United Press PHILADELPHIA. July 31.—Experts switched from Carl Kauffman of Pittsburgh, National public links golf champion, to one of the six members of the Philadelphia team in today’s tournament after the Philadelphia team swept to an easy victory in the Joseph Horne cup play at the Cobbs Creek course Monday. The Joseph Horne trophy, symbolical of the State -upremacy among public links players, was the prelude to the National championships. Philadelphia captured the trophy from by 59 strokes, an overwhelming defeat. The Philadelphians made a total of 482 over their home course. Pittsburgh was tied with Erie with 541, and Lancaster was next with 531. Charley Albertus. Philadelphia, and Joseph F. Kasimir. New York, uninitiated in the championship test, started the procession in the first eighteen holes of medal play today. Edward B. Schutte, Erie, and John McGuire, Indianapolis, were scheduled to tee off shortly after. The l#st pair was to be Paul ''Voock. Rochester, and Eli Ross, Cleveland, who teed off late this afternoon.

William T. Tilden of America, 9-7, 8-6, 6-4. At times It appeared as if Tilden would smother Cochet under an avalanche of shots carrying too much speed to be handled, but Cochet always came back with that uncanny skill of his to pull even and go ahead. ‘ I played as well as I knew how—even better than against LaCoste—but nothing I could do was good enough to beat Cochet,” Tilden said after the match. “I thought he was going to let me take the second set, but he pepped up. I didn't have the stuff to beat him. even though I held the set point several times He was marvelous.” Rene LaCoste confirmed the victory of France by defeating the Indianapolis ace, John Hennessey, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. In meeting defeat, Hennessey made a good showing. His aggressive tactics and fine courage kept the gallery to the end, even though the French team already had clinched the cup. Hennessey took the first set by superior playing and after LaCoste had taken the second with ease came back to bring the score to five-all in the third. In the fourth still fighting hard. Hennessey looked as if he might pull through even when LaCoste led 5-3, because he was exerting great pressure and playing heady tehnis throughout. However, he was not to attain victory, although LaCoste’s margin of triumph was not so great. Hennessey, with another year of experience, might meet him on something approaching equal terms.

Abbott met her daughter Elizabeth. 16, in the opening round of play in the championship flight. Both play from Avalon. There were seven other matches played today in tPt championship flight. Besides being a part of the most unique situation ever recorded in local golf circles, Miss Abbott was the sensation of the opening day qualifying play Monday. Playing her second season of golf and in her first city tournament, Miss Abbott scored a brilliant 87 over a difficult course.Coming Star Her form is almost perfect, she strokes a strong wood shot, is good on the greens and holds but one weakness in her game, approaching the green. More practice with the mashie and niblick is certain to elevate her to one of the topnotchers in local golf. Another feature match of the opening day contests was between Mrs. C. A. Jaqua of Highland and Mrs. J. C. Patten of Avalon. Both women rate high in State golf circles Miss Elizabeth Dunn, defending champion, was expected to defeat Miss Marjorie Fischer of Broadmoor. in a first-round match today. Likewise, Mrs. B. C.

‘BIG BILL’ AT END OF LONG, LONG TRAIL

Monday he went down in straight sets before Henri Cochet, an erratic player who rises to superhuman tennis about twice a year. Yesterday’s was Cochet’s day.

No one, not even Tilden himself, knows what will happen to "Big Bill” now. It is likely he will retire from international competition, making way for younger men, who are better able to compete against the great array of stars France offe- in defense of the Davis Cup. Tilden is not likely to turn professional. He has had two chances and rejected them. Back of his desire to retain his amateur status is his love for the roar of the crowd.

Three Double-Headers in Row for Fans, Starting Wednesday. INDIANS LOSE MONDAY BY EDDIE ASH The double-header fans will get their fll) at Washington Park when the Saints come to town. Due to early season postponements the Indians have three games to. play off with Nick Allen’s crew in addition to the regular four on the schedule for the St. Paul visit starting Wednesday, and the situation means the Tribe pitchers are going to face plenty of grief. The twin bill programs start Wednesday and there will be three bargain attractions in a row—two games Wednesday, two Thursday, two Friday and a single tilt Saturday. It will be the last local invasion the Saints make this season and therefore the heavy series. Saints Not Far Away The Saints are third in the pennant race and not far below the Betzelites, and the baseball world In general will be watching the outcome of the seven-game conflict. Eddie Zwilling’s Kansas City Blues were to make their last appearance of the season at Washington Park today when they wound up the five-game series with the Indians. The fracas was the odd contest, each team having won two. The Blues captured Monday’s contest, 3 to 1, when they rallied, in the eighth inning for three runs. Joe Kuhel, young first sacker who has been a thorn to the Tribe, started the fireworks with his third single off Leverett and moved up on Wamby’s out. Wilson doubled to right field and Kuhel reached home with the tying run. Jimmy Zinn batted for Nicholson and stung a triple, scoring Wilson. Schupp and Speece Relieve Schupp relieved Leverett to pitch to Grigsby, a southpaw hitter, and Grigsby beat out a slow roller. Speece relieved Schupp and got Chatham on a foul to Spencer, but Michaels singled to score Moore, who ran for Zinn. The side was retired when Peters forced Michaels. The damage had been done. The Indians filled the bases in the ninth, but Haney made the game-ending out on a long fly . to Grigsby. Two Tribe Doubles The Indians couldn’t hit Heinie Meine in the pinches, with the exception of the sixth inning when they got a run on Haney’s double, a walk to Russell and Comorosky's double. Meine retired in the ninth after two out with the bases filled, Morrison finishing against Haney. The Monday defeat cut the lead of the Indians to two games. And for league leaders, the Tribe seemed guilty of bad baseball. Manager Betzel neglected to make the “outfield switch’’ in the eighth when the Indians were leading, 1 to 0, and as a result Wilson got a double by Russell that probably would have been caught if Comorosky had been
Tilden probably realizes this is his last year of international competition. For that reason he may retire and devote his time and energy to coaching the younger American players. Despite the years he has devoted to the advancement of amateur tennis in America, Tilden has found time to accumulate a —ofortable fortune in varior- business enterprises. He has sufficient money to devote the rest of his life to tennis, which is his first and only love.
back in the fall of 1929 to box once more before casting aside the gloves which have brought him more than a million dollars in his last three bcuts. “Reports concerning my retirement have been grossly misinterpreted,” Tunney said Monday to newspaper men. The boxing champion flatly denied he planned an early marriage, a life of seclusion, a career in another field or anything of the sort.

Heretofore in the late innings, with the Indians ahead, Betzel has inserted Layne in left field and switched Comorosky to right in order to bolster the defense On Grigsby’s roller In the eighth Spencer let Schupp field the sphere when the ball was hit only a short distance in front of the plate. It appeared to be Spencer’s ball. Connolly was slow in covering second in the eighth on Wamby’s rap to Haney and Fred had to make the throw to first instead. In other words the Indians were out of gear in the eighth. Oh, well, why squawk? The home pastimers still are out in front. Many women and children took in the Monday contest. Heinie Meine didn’t wait to be ordered out of the box in the ninth after he hit Connolly. He beat Acting Manager Sheehan to it by leaving at once. Long Tom bossed the Blues after Manager Zwilling got the gate from Umpire McGrew in the third. The reason for the Blues’ success was the fact the Indians had eleven men left on bases.

“Great Scott!” Tunney said. “I have no desire to do those things people claim for me. I am not considering marriage. I am not contemplating a trip with Commander Byrd on his Polar expedition.

The champion will join Thornton Wilder, the novelist, and together they will De guests of President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State at the Tailtean games. Later they will hike over the European continent, visiting France, Spain and Germany. Tunney plans to sail on his return voyage Oct, 15, and arrive Oct. 27, in time for the presidential election. Tuhney believes he put up the greatest flight of his career against Tom Heeney, when he won on a technical knockout in the eleventh round. Tunney paused to pay tribute to Heeney, whom he admires because of his gameness. “What a heart!” Gene said, “I don’t see how he ever came out for the eleventh round as he was completely unconscionus when they picked him up and carried him to his corner at the end of the tenth. He must be made of iron. I hit him harder than I ever hit Dempsey and I can t understand how’ he stayed on his feet as long as he did.”
