PUBLIC LINKS CHAMP OUSTED FROM MEET BY U. S. G. A,

Failure to Count Putt Is Reason Golfers Continue Play Without Kauffman, Three Times Title Holder. By Unite 4 Press JACKSONVILLE. Fla.. Aug. 6 One hundred and seventeen municipal golf links champions from twenty-eight ctiles continued play today over the Jacksonville city course, but without the presence of a defending champion. Carl F. Kauffman of Pittsburgh, depending champion, who has had things more or less his own way in national public links tournaments for three successive years, was definitely out of the play, having been disqualified Tuesday night. Kauffman with his partner, Guy McCall of Buffalo, and the United States Golf Association officials could not agree on the counting of a putt. The official statement, given out before the annual banquet of entrants Tuesday night, saio “The United States Golf Association committee regrets exceedingly that under Rule 5, Sec. 2. of stroke competition. Carl F. Kauffman of Pittsburgh is declared disqualified. “Tho competitor with whom he played in the qualifying round marked on the score card a four instead of a five for the ninth hole. The error was wholly unintentional, but the rule states no alteration can be made after the card has been returned. Unfortunately, Kauffman did not check the score before he handed in his card.” Harry T. Givan of Seattle, Wash., turned in a 36-37—73, one over par, to lead the field in play Tuesday. Bob Wingate, Jacksonville City champion, and A1 Quigley, Chicago, were tied for second place with 3737_74 each. Joseph S. Green, Philadelphia was third with 40-35—75. Kauffmans disputed score was 83 by official count. The Brooklyn team held a comfortable margin for first day's play for the Warren G. Harding team trophy with 311.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. WITH young fellows, first year men, making good on practically every one of the teams in the two major leagues, it's a tough job naming any two players as the outstanding firstyear players in the business. And there's sure to be plenty of argument on any one a fellow selects.

Don’t start throwing things, please. I know there will be an argument> ° I However. hCTe's The way I look at It. Mahaffey has fitted right into Connie Mack’s scheme of things, has taken his regular turn on the mound with the veterans and has won a lot of ball games. Connie Mack is in there fighting for a pennant again this year, and Mahaffey is one of the big resons for Philadelphia’s success up to now Ollg —— -rhA samp thine almost can be

The same thing almost can be said of Lopez for the Dodgers. Robbie needed a real catcher to make the Robins a reall ball club and he got one. Lopez has filled the bill and pitchers tell me that he not only is a good mechanical catcher, but a smart young kid as well—one who knows how to catch and how to handle pitchers. When you’re looking for reasons why the Robins are up there, you can mark young Lopez down as number one on your list. Now about some of the others. Next to Lopez in the National League I would say that Wally Berger of the Braves was the outstanding young player to make the grade this year. Asa matter of fact, I considered a long time before I selected Lopez over Berger—and the one thing that made me do it was the fact that the catcher breaking in for the first time has a more difficult task than the outfielder, and therefore deserves more credit when he makes the. grade. There are a lot of other young fellows who have done mighty well, considering the fact that this is their first year in the majors. Ben Chapman and Jimmy Reese of the Yankees; Williams and McNair of the Athletics; Chatham of the Braves; Marshall of the Giants; Mickey Finn of Brooklyn; Gullic of the Browns; Funk of the Detroit Tigers. Seeds of the Cleveland Indians, Suhr of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Desautels of the Tigers, Hogsett, also of Detroit—all of them deserve a lot of credit. Just the same thought, I’ll have to stick with Mahaffey and Lopez as the best of a mighty fine lot of young prospects. FLOWERS SCORES K. 0.

Henry Falegano, the Des Moines (la.) Filipino who went the limit with Edide Anderson here recently, boosted his stock higher with local mitt fans at the fort punch bowl Tuesday night by hammering out a ten-round decision over Tracy Cox, popular local featherweight. Cox got off to a whirlwind stf.rt, taking the first two rounds by wide margin and holding a slight edge in the third. He shook Falegano in the second round with hard right-hand punches. In the fourth round, the Filipino carried the edge and the fifth was even. The next four frames went to Falegano, with Cox gaining an even break in the final. Cox was in trouble several times. Falegano changed his style in the third, fighting in southpaw fashion, and Cox was unable to break through. Pee Wee Jarrell, Mishawaka wel-

Trot Star Enters Big Race Here Hanover’s Bertha, Rated as 2-Minute Possibility, Will Perform. A three-year-old two-minute trotter is a rarity. Thus far in history, only two such have ever appeared, and both of those made their official records in time trials. Racing observers of the present declare that two of the present bunch of 3-year-old trotters have ability to trot in two minutes, and have showp this abilty in races. One of these is Hanover’s Bertha, a daughter of Peter Volo, 2:02, that several weeks ago went a mile in 2:02 in a race and was eased up at the wire, thereby impressing the most conservative horsemen with her ability to race in two minutes later in the season. • Hanover’s Bertha is one of the star entrants in the Horseman Futurity, the rich classic which is a leading number of the big Grand Circuit meeting to feature the Indiana state fair this year.
