Eleventh Inning Gives

Angels Victory.

lxs Angeles. Cal., March 29. Krnie Johnson, the White Sox discard, played his first game yesterday with Los Angeles against his old team mates and won a place in the hearts of the local fans by driving in the winning run for the Angels in the eleventh inning of another desperate encounter. The final score was 3 to 2. . Ernie didn't win the game with a home run, which of course would have been .more dramatic, but he did send the winning count over the plate- by means of a sacrifice fly when the Angels had runners on third and first, with none out. in the last of the eleventh. Ernie picked out a good one and hit It to Mattlck in deep center. Mattlck has some throwing arm and pegged to the plate perfectly, but Maggert, the runner on third, slid in Just ahead of the ball and ended the game.

BATTLING NELSONS AREDUE HERE Boxer and Artist Bride Scheduled to Arrive from West.

The Battling Nelsons are due in our midst today. Floods and other transportation hindrances permitting, the former lightweight champion and his tentatively reconciled bride will arrive at 9:15 this morning from the west, where Mr. Nelson accomplished two notable triumphs, the first by persuasion and the second by force. At Denver lhei Irresistible Bat convinced Mrs. Bat (formerly Miss Fay King) that her desire to sever their matrimonial bonds was merely an artistic whim. He painted a verbal futurist picture of happiness In such glowing colors that Mrs. N. consented to leave her beloved Rocky mountains and accompany the first citizen of Hegewisch on a thirty day trial honeymoon trip. Triumph No. 1 so elated Mr, Nelson

that he Journeyed to Pueblo and last

Thursday night administered an artis

tic trimming to Mike Malone. the Den

ver "Iron Man."

The Battling Nelsons are Intense In

the matter of art, fistic and otherwise.

Bat prefers art to science, as he never

was long on the latter commodity. They will spend the day in Chicago,

and after the former champion has attended to some publicity business will visit the cubist show at the Art Insti

tute. In his home town Bat has a rep

utation as an art dilettante, but it is not likely he will visit Hegewisch this

trip, as on their first visit there Mrs. Nelson found the scenery did not blend with her wedding gown.

The Battling Nelsons will leave for

the east tonight, where Nelson Is billed

to fight three battles in April. These

doubtless will add zest to the honey

moon trial trip. Mrs. Nelson has promised to continue Mrs. N. If she con

cludes that being the wife of the Dur

able Dane is better than the simple life

of a newspaper cartoonist.

Manager John Robinson and Jimmy

Greenwood, a lightweight, will acorn

pany the Nelsons east. The quartet will stop at Youngstown, where Bat

will consult Bonesetter Reese.

HARLEM GOLF

COURSE READY The Harlem golf course will he

opened to the public today. This is the !

first golf course In the middle west '

which is ready for actual play so early J

in me season, and the reason is because of the excellent drainage Installed at the course when the Harlem race track was built. Very little snow reached Harlem during the last storm, and Dick Salter has had his men out on the course for a week rolling the

greens and putting everything in j

today in as good condition as many of the other links will be in the middle of May.

Since the playing season ended last

fall Salter has made many Improve

ments In the course. Several of the holes have been lengthened and nu

merous unnecessary obstructions,which In the past have been a hind

rance to perfect golf have been remov

ed. In addition enough locker room

has been installed at the club house to take care of 400 players.

Two new golf clubs, the Oak-Park

Business Men's club and the Metropoli

tan Golf club, which were organized

during the winter, will use the Har- j lem course this season. This will in no way interfere with the play of the '

general public and the same playing conditions will apply to unattached i

players as In the past. !

Miss Lillian B. Hyde of the South Shore Field club, holder of the Metropolitan golf championship, won the United North and South championship at Pinehurst, defeating Mrs. J. V. Hurd of Pittsburg, formerly Miss Dorothy Campbell. 4 and 2 In the final. Mrs. Hurd was 1 up at the ninth hole, but Miss Hyde won the tenth, eleventh and twelfth. A trapped second cost Mrs. Hurd the thirteenth, but she won the next hole. 4-7. Miss Hyde took the sixteenth hole, 4-6, and won the match. A blind bogey handicap and a putting event will be played this afternoon

at George O'Nell's indoor school, play starting at 2:30.

WHITE TO GET BROWN SCRAP Milwaukee, March 23. Bob Moha will not box Gus Christie in the Immediate future. This was the decision reached by Moha's manager, after It was evident that a bad eye would not heal sufficiently within the next week to allow him to start training. As a result. Pal Brown will probably figure in the wlndup with either Charley White or Ray Temple as a co-worker. White will bring a bunch of Chicago fans to Milwaukee in case he Is matched with the shifty Brown.

HENRY WIRTH Battle Creek, Mich., March 29. Johnny Billiter of Toledo only loaned Henry Wlrth of Chicago the lightweight wrestling title for a little while. In one of the greatest matches of the season here last night the Toledo boy trimmed the Chicagoan In split falls, Wirth tricking Billiter Into a grapevine and half nelson for the first fall in 34:30. The e:ort took most of Henry's strength, and after another half hour of work he fell a victim to the superior power and stamina of the Toledo man.

THEY WERE NOT SURPRISED Says "Chick" Evans in his column In the Chicago Examiner today: "A cr&ck professional was once invited out to Hammond and a big local crowd came out to see him. He hit a spanking wooden shot off the first tee straight at the pin. Presently the ball disappeared; the hole had swallowed it up. The Hammond people were then
