Jack Westland Takes Early Lead With 72 Top Contenders Turn In High Scores; Bobby Jones, FiveTimes £teinpion, on Sidelines; George Lance, Hoosier Title Holder, Still in Field. by GEORGE KIRKSEY Chic ** Chicag u g! * 31.—Jack Westland of h L2 K ren . ch *t ma l eUr cham P lon - led early finishers at the end of eighteen holes in the first day’s play of the national amateur golf championship today with a 72, one over par

PAJ| TftiMeA,

SUNDAY was a most unusual day at Speedway course. It started out wrong and ended up in blaze of glory. First, the rain made appear the place would be deserted for the day along about 8 a. m. But an hour later the starter had his hands full, but soon had the foursomes on their way only thirty minutes behind schedule. tt u tt From the starting tee tfce Interest lumped over to the fourteenth hole, which leads down the hill from the starter's booth towards the creek. Russell Scott was on the tee when the distracting noise of the player driving from the first tee came floating across. It was Justified, because Russell Scott “flggered" one between the traps and on to the green. To get on is enoußh for any Jigger shot, but not enough for Scott’s. His ball didn't stop rolling until after It had struck the flag staff and dropped into the cup. Sam Hurd Ollie Hollingsworth and W. M. Thompson were playing with Scott and attest the fact the “ace" helped Scott get a score of 92 for the eighteen holes. tt tt tt One “ace” on a hole is enough for one day but not the fourteenth hole Sunday. Along late in the afternoon Billy Moore, pro at Willow Brook, came around with Bill Reed Sr., Freddy McDermott and Lou Feeney. Chuck Oarringer. pro at Speedway. walked over to watch his colleagues 6hoot down the fourteenth and he too got in on a fame shot. Bill used the orthodox club for the shot. a spade mashie. and sent the ball well into the air and down on to the green, whence It rolled into the cup for another “hole in one,” on the same hole, on the same dav, and Just a few hours apart. tt tt a Herman Sielken. former state champion, got back on his game long enough during the past two weeks to win the low medal honors of the Qualifying round for the Avalon championship. Herman blasted out a 74 and followed up with 79 for a 153 total. He was four strokes ahead of Harry L. Maley, anew contender, who nosed into second place ahead of' Bill Langmaid. the defending champion, and Steve Madden. Harry had 78 and 79 for 157. The sixteen low scores of, the thirty-six-hole qualifying rounds will be paired up tonight for match play to begin next week-end. tt tt tt Eddie Zimmer continued to hold forth with his supremacy over Indianapolis Country Club golfers with the low medal round in the qualifying play for the club championship. Eddie scored a 76 one stroke better than Bob Bowen, who had 77. F. X. Mettinet and Tom Stevenson had 80's to tie for third low medal honors. The sixteen low scores will be matched this week for the personal encounters that begin next week-end. u tt tt THE windup of the partnership tournament was played at Meridian Hills and Bill Diddel and Ben Cohee won out. Their final victory was over E. H. K. McComb and T. L. Driscoll. Next week-end will be a busy one at the Hills, as the club championship is carded for part of the three-day holiday period and Walter Hagen is billed to appear there in an exhibition match Monday All except one first-round match was completed in the Broadmoor Club championship the past week-end.. Bernie Lehman. who was low medalist in the qualifying round, won his first-round encounter from Sol Meyer. 5 and 4. M. S. Cohn aud Saul Solomon are yet to complete their match, but Jake Wolf went twenty-one holes to gain a verdict over Bob Efrovmson. 1 up. Ferd Meyer defeated F. A. Meyer. 8 and 7. and another extra-hole match between Milton Sternberger and Sam Goldstein went nineteen holes before Sternberger won. Jess Mossier crushed William T. Meyers. 6 and 4, and Dave Lurvev bested Ben Cohen, 8 and 6. The only default was won bv Leonard Solomon from Sam Mueller. The second-round matches will be played this week. HARRIS SHOE WINNER City horseshoe championship honors today belongeed to Orville Harris, who turned in five consecutive triumphs in the roundrobin finals at Fall creek courts Sunday. In the five matches Harris turned in 57 ringers and 51 double ringers. George A. Reis and Paul Van Sickle tied for second with three wins and two losses each.

Westland played sensationally, on the outgoing nine to turn in a 33, three under par. He clicked off four birdies, but went over par one stroke on the long seventh. He slipped on the incoming trip, however, taking a 39, four over perfect figures, despite another birdie. The field was reduced to 137 when five qualifiers withdrew today. Westland’s 72 became more certain to lead the first day’s round as the favorites began to hang up high scores. Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston of St. Paul, 1929 champion and seeded No. 1, went out in 39, three over par. T. Phil Perkins, former British amateur champion, haß a disastrous round on his first nine and took a 43, seven over par. Charley Kocsis, 18-year-old Detroit phenom, who recently beat Tommy Armour, Briish open champion, for the Michigan open title, completely blew up. Kocsis went out in 47 and was back in 40 for an 37, sixteen over par. Matches Start Wednesday The two-day qualifying round, eighteen holes today and Tuesday, will reduce the field to thirty-two players who will begin match play Wednesday. The first *nd secondround matches, eighteen holes each, will be played Wednesday, with the quarter-finals Thursday, semifinals Friday and Saturday, all at thirty-six holes. Bobby Jones, five times titleholder, was on hand as a spectator for the first time since he made his big-time debut many years ago. With Jones out of competition, the tournament has no favorite. Many players who formerly played with the hope of reaching the final went out today with high hopes of actually winning the title. Jones Favors Voigt Incidentally, Jones is said to favor George Voigt’s chance above any other single player. Jones is not alone in this opinion as many who have followed the veteran New Yorker around Beverly in practice believe he has his game properly attuned for a real championship bid. On his last practice round Sunday Voigt shot a 37-38—75, four over par. Among the early starters today was George Lance of Indianapolis, four times Hoosier amateur champion.

Campolo and Schaff Clash By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Ernie Schaaf, Jack Sharkey’s discarded protege, and Victorio Campolo of Argentina were prepared today to make a second effort to stage their scheduled twelve-round bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn. The bout originally was scheduled for last Wednesday, but was postponed because of rain. Schaaf is a slight favorite to win because of his superior boxing skill and his string of seven consecutive knockouts. Sharkey disposed of his share in Schaaf after a quarrel last week. AUTO MARKS TUMBLE By United Press SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., Aug. 31. —Two new American speed records for automobiles of 183 to 305-cubic inch displacement were set Sunday in a meet at Pismo beach. The events were timed by the A. A. A. Ernie Triplett set a mark of 130.7 miles an hour for a measured mile, breaking the former record of 122.6 miles set by Jimmy Murphy at Dayton. “Stubby” Stubblefield traveled at a speed of 130 miles an hour to break the kilometer record. The former record, also held by Murphy, was 122 miles an hour. MRS. HILL IS CHAMP By United Press HIGHLAND PARK, 111., Aug. 31. —Mrs. O. S. Hill today held her second women’s western gals crown in three years. The Kansas City woman, 1929 champion, defeated Mrs. Leona Pressler of California in the thirty-six-hole finals Saturday, 3 and 1.

JEROME H. (DIZZY) DEAN

CHAPTER TEN MY first defeat in the 1931 season was at Ft. Worth when the Houston club played like a bunch of schoolmarms behind me. I didn’t have my stuff that day, either. They got to' me for four runs in the first and shouldn’t have had a run. In the second, Manager Schultz came to the box and told me to get out. He wanted to save me for Beaumont and it looked like the game was lost. I went over to Beaumont and lost a 3-2 decision. We had twelve men left on bases, which proves it wasn’t entirely my fault. I win the next five games. And then I decided to get married. There’s a funny story about that. In Texas you have to file intentions to wed three days in advance. When I filed these intentions, the papers made a big thing of it. Mrs. Dean, who was Miss Patricia Nash, and I were besieged with interviewers. We were to be married Friday, and that was my night to pitch. Someone suggested we get married at home plate and I said it was okay with me. The missus is asked and said as far as she is concerned she’ll marry me anywhere. They set the date for a week away. Then Fred Aukenman decides maybe all the publicity would make it look too much like just a circus stunt. He asked us about it. We decided then to wait a while. First I figured we’d wait ’till I win twenty games. Then we decided to wait until the first half of the season was over. Then one day, all of a sudden like, we up and got married right then and there. u u tt ON the way home from the wedding, I’m sitting in the back seat of the car with the Missus and' we’re pondering on how wonderful it is to be married when it dawns on me I’ve got to get her a wedding present. I asks her what she wants. “You just win that old ball game tonight, because those won and lost averages mean something when you sign that new' contract,” she answered. “Well, I’ll tell you what I’ll do, Pat,” I said. “I’ll win this game if they give me three runs and I’ll strike out ten men.” Now here is the funny pa" 1 of the story. I lost the game 4 to 3, but I’d have w'on it if I had got that tenth strike out. Here’s what happened. Yam Yaryan is at bat in the Bth. The score is 3 to 0 in favor of Houston. No one is on. Two are out and I have him two and two. I come in there with a slow curve and wham! he hits it over the fence. Then comes the ninth. Two are on base, two are out and this same Yaryan comes up. I get two strikes on him. Again I throw him a curve not quite so slow this time, and again he knocked it out of the lot With it went Mrs. Dean’s wedding present. nun THE Buffs go into Ft. Worth in a tight spot toward the end of the first half. We need two games to tie Beaumont and we have a double header on. I have a lot of revenge in my system for those Ft.

erton is a standout among Indiana flyweights and this will be the third time he has tackled a champion. Wolgast is recognized as the king pin of the world's 112pounders by the New York and Pennsylvania boxing commissions and has met all of the topnotchers, including stars of foreign countries.

Worth guys so I says to Joe Schultz: “You let me pitch both of those games and I’ll win.” “Okay!” he says. I wire the wife: “Grab a plane an’ come up here and watch your honey get revenge.” She does. Well, I beat ’em both games and we go into a tie. Next day we lose and Beaumont wins. It looks tough. The next day Beaumont and Wichita Falls play an afternoon game and we’re carded for a night game at Ft. Worth. Beaupiont loses. Now, if we win we get a tie. I beg Joe Schultz to let me pitch. Finally at game time he says “All right!” Think I didn’t show ’em? We win in twelve innings. I make four hits, score the trying run, drive in the winning run, and strike ’em out till they’re dizzy. Anyway, this is my story and I’ll stick to it. THE END.

Second Place at Stake as Tribe Meets Blues Indians Invade Kansas City Today Following DoubleHeader Victory in Milwaukee Sunday; Koenecke Collects Six Hits; Last Tilt Goes 11 Innings. By Times Special MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31.—The batting slump that overpowered the Indians for three days during which time they collected only sixteen hits in three games was overcome here Sunday and the Tribesmen grabbed both ends of the double-header with the Brewers, 13 to 2 and 3 to 2, eleven innings. Led by Seventy-Five Grand Koenecke with six hits, including a circuit drive and triple, the Hoosiers ruined the Sabbath afternoon for 12,000 Milwaukee fans as their farewell to the Cream City for the current campaign. Manager McCann and his Tribe pastimers left for Kansas City Sunday night and were scheduled to meet the Blues today in the first of a four-game series with second place at stake. The Blues are ahead of the third-place Indians by one and one-half games. The series at K C will end Thursday and Friday will be an off-day. On Saturday the Indians will open their new park at Indianapolis, playing Louisville.

The twm victory Sunday enabled the Tribe to even the series, the Brewers taking the first two, 3 to 2, Friday, and 3 to 1, Saturday. The men of McCann won in a walk in the lid lifter Sunday by collecting sixteen blows, their big innings being the fourth, with five runs, and the ninth with six. Koenecke Ruins Polli Hildebrand pitched great ball until the eighth, when he lost control and walked four men in a row, Morrell relieving him. Polli, Nelson and Gearin saw service on the Brewer mound, the first named being the ace right-hander of the local staff. Koer.ecke’s homer with two mates aboard in the fourth sent Polli to the showers. The second and windup fracas was a mound battle between Walter Miller and Fred Stiely, and it was a dandy. The Indians were behind, 2 to 1, going into the ninth when they rallied and knotted the count. Tavener hit a homer for Milwaukee in the first frame, and in the third a triple by Koenecke and Fitzgerald’s single tied the game. Kroner Delivers The Brewers took the lead again in the tight pitching struggle by registering once in their half of the fourth and from that inning until the ninth it was a thriller. Young Kroner scored Fitzgerald with a single in the ninth and forced the contest to extra innings. Frank Sigafoos batted in the winning marker in the eleventh with a long fly that scored Rosenberg from third. ELLENBERG TRIUMPHS With a record of no defeats in two years, Ellenberg park water polo team today boasted its second consecutive city title. Ellenberger won 1931 honors with ten victories. Rhodius was second with eight wins and two setbacks.

there would be no lack of interest in the 1931 rac'. For, whereas the superiority of the Philadelphia Athletics has taken all the thrills from the pennant race, the competition for last place is the keenest of recent years. Three teams—Chicago, Detroit and Boston —are in a virtual tie for the cellar berth, with St. Louis only two games ahead. Chicago White Sox apparently trying to retain undisputed possession of the berth Sunday, made eight errors afield, but they won the game, 10 to 8, in twelve innings and now are. tied with Detroit.
