Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. June 29—Golf is probably the most wholesome thing in competitive sports. I mean rport* that blend naturally the' provisional and amateur elements. A champion is crowned or uncrowned a nd there is no unsavory aftermath. Nobody protests the result, claims a *°ul. flashes a gun or writes to Hoover. a a a Johnny Farrell, a fine young JHh boy. product of the Westchester Country' caddy ranks, won the title a year ago at Olympia fields. Friday h*> failed to qual'fy for a chance to defend his honors. He had an fit on Thursday and ®n 83 Friday. ana i holding out ok the eighteenth KSRFF.N HF REMARKED WKLI RR7NG ON YOUR, NEW CHAMPION.

Tt is a clean game, cleanly played and. for the mostpart. played by real sportsmen. I had intended to draw some son of parallel with the fight game on reflection T realize how absuru it would be. There is no comparison. tt tt tt The greatest round played at Ringed Foot Friday went to the credit of an amateur. Strangely It was nc-t Bobbv Jones who turned it in but George Von Elm, late of the west coast and now of Michigan. a a a VON ELM SCORED A 70. HE WENT O'T IN 35. ONE UNDER PAR AND CAME BACK IN 35.

Eight Golfers Remain Within Striking Distance of Open Crown

Jones, Sarazen, Espinosa Favored as Final Play Is Started. SCHMUTTE RATES HIGH Indianapolis Lad Among Best Scorers. BY FRANK GETTY United Presn Stiff Corroposdrnt MAMARONECK. N. Y„ June 29 Thanks to the rainstorm which lashed the fairways and flooded the greens of Wined Foot during the second round of the national open, this year's championship entered its Anal stage today somewhat more "open" than had been expected. Half a dozen golfers were within striking distance of the two leaders, Gene Sarazen and A1 Espinosa, when the third r ound started. What began like a walk-over for Bobby Jones developed into quite a contest before the half-way mark was reached, thanks again to the deluge which nearly caused them to change the name of Winged Foot to Webbed Foot.. The amateur champion and firstday leader was washed back to a tie for third place by the cloudburst which broke over Mamaroneek Friday afternoon. ' When play started this morning the standing of the eight survivor who had a chance to win was as follows : Gen* Sararen. Flushing. V. T... 71-71—142 A! E*pino\a. Glencoe. Til 7A-72—142 B*bbv Jones. Atlanta 69-7. V—ll 4 Densmore Shut*. WorthJnjton . . 73-71—144 Tommi Armour. Detroit 74-71—-145 Leo Diesel. Caljente. Me* 74-71—HR Leonard Schmutt*. lima. 0 73-75—148 George Von Elm. Detroit 79-70—HO One may safely look for the next National Open champion among these eight, for the others in the field of sixty-seven survivors, who set out today were too far back to be dangerous. Narrowing the field further, the chances were in favor of a threecornered battle of Jones, Sarazen and Espinosa, with young Shute, a courageous, capable golfer and Tommy Armour, cold calculating and also capable, having outside chances. Schmutte. a Lima. O. pro, is an Indianapolis lad and is quite capable. Many narrowed the field of likely vinners to Jones alone and counted the present amateur champion as the successor to Johnny Farrell. One thing is certain. Farrell himself no longer cares. He was eliminated during the first twq rounds of play and was a spectator this morning. Little Gene Sarazen. champion back in 1922. was determined to defend his advantage and win another title. A1 Espinosa, who never has enjoyed the profits of a national championship, was equally determined. ANDERSON WRESTLING Pjt Time* Special ANDERSON.

the most valuable player award this year they just took one thousand dollars out of Al's pockets. He's about as valuable a player as I know of. You know ball players judge ball players a little differently than fans do. For instance, take Al's case. Al always has been a good hitter, but he had a weakness. In other seasons our pitchers knew how to pitch to him. and while he would get hits now and then he wasn't any murderous fellow with that stick against the Yankees. In the recent series we played it was a different story. Balls he used to miss by a city block he would cuff into two-baggers. He had overcome his weakness.

And while I'm on the subject let\ me say here that the Athletics have a great club. We haven’t yet given up hope of overtaking them and winning the pennant. If they show j the slightest bit. of a slump, or if ! they get any of the tough breaks during a season, we'll have a fine chance. But we're not kidding ourselves any. They're tough. And it will take a lot of fine baseball to beat them out. Grove and Walberg and Earn-

Lermond showed a terrific burst of speed in his last o.uarter mile. He had no chance to show this, however. in the final heat as the Finns ran him right into the ground with their terrible killing pace always so characteristic of them in the distance runs. Lermond should run a great race in the National A. A. U. championships to be held at Denver. That he may get down near the time of i four minutes, ten and two fifths seconds. the world's record held by Nurmi, is doubtful, but still within the bounds of possibility. Lermond Is young, is enthusiastic about running, and has a lot of strength. If he stays in the game he shoifld be our principal challenger to the European mile runners when : the Olympic meet is held out in Los Angeles in 1932. COLUMBUS GETS GILLIS Du Vnitni Pn BOSTON.

Babe Ruth Says: ‘lt Will lake Real Team to Beat A's.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 29.—The most improved hitter in the big league today is Al Simmons of the Athletics. And if you want to know the biggest reason for the Athletics being out front in the pennant race. Al is it. I've got t sneaking hunch that when they did away with

shaw haven't the pitching cunning and knowledge that Coombs, and Bender and Plank had—not by a long, long ways. But they've got more natural stuff. If Grove had Bender's or Plank's noodle with his arm he wouldn't lose a game in a blue moon. Cochrane is a better catcher than Lapp or any of the other old Athletic receivers and Foxx at first base will develop into a greater ball player than Mclnnis ever was. There’s a weakness in reserve strength, however. Take any of the present regulars out of there and Connie would be fa a bad way. Who would replace Foxx for instance, or Simmons or Haas? Or for that matter who could step into Max Bishop’s shoes if he was to get hurt? One other weakness, too. The punch of the club is tremendous but it is all centered in two or three men. Stop Cochrane, Foxx and Simmons and you've got the A's licked. The rest of the batting order is only ordinary' and there isn't the balance all down the line you find on a lot of clubs. But to get back to where I started, they're a mighty powerful outfit. It will take, a great team to beat them out. But I still think we have a good chance of doing it.

German Pug Needs Plenty of Experience Max Schmeling’s Future Favorite Topic in Fistic Circles. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY lotted Prom Stiff forresoondent NEW YORK. June 29. Max Schmeling s future in the prize ring has absorbed the boxing world in a lively discussion of the strong and weak points of the young German heavyweight. While Schmeling has been universally praised for his decisive victory over Paolino Uzcuduh. hitherto regarded as the strongest and roughest of all heavyweights, .not everyone is ready to concede the heavyweight title to Herr Max. Tommy Loughran. light heavyweight champion, is one of those who finds fault with the present, ability of Schmeling. ‘Just a Coo) Head’ “Schmeling is a good prospect." Tommy said, ‘‘but a long way from a heavyweight champion. If brought, along properly he may develop in\* a champion. I see Schmeling now as a good boxer with a cool head, nothing more." Experience is what Schmeling needs now more than anything else in the opinion of many smart boxing men. "If Schmeling is kept active and not allowed to think he has the. heavyweight title won he promises to develop into a great fighter,” said Jack McAulliffe, retired undefeatd lightwight champion. ‘‘He is no Dempsey and never will be.”' Contract Tangle Again A resumption of the wrangle over Schmeling’s contract between his American managers, headed by Joe I Jacobs, and the German newspaper- ; man, Arthur Bulow, who brought the Black Uhlan of the Rhine to • this country in May, 1928. threatens | to be resumed all over again soon. Until Schmeling's contract tangle, j is straightened out Madison Square Garden will not attempt to do business with him, according to William F. Carey. The Garden has Jack Sharkey of Boston signed to fight any opponent selected for him in September and has until July 15 to name the man.
