Dick Rob- ertson, an enigma to the Dobbsmen in days of yore, was walloped to all cor ners of the lot, and only sensational support by his team mates kept the score down.

The changes did not affect the scoring.

The game set seasons record for number of innings. PfefYer worked all through the contest. Zabel succeeded split by Whent's hit in the first inning.
 Erratic support was given both slab men. Every Brooklyn run was directly helped In by an error and two of Chi- cago's were due to misplays. Fisher count Ing the winning score when Cutshaw threw wild on Williams hard grounder in the nineteenth. Fast fielding saved scores for both sides, too, infielders and outfielders vieing in desperate efforts to prevent runs. Twice the score was tied when the game seemed over.

CARROLL'S PLAYING
 IS SENSATIONAL

One feature of the defeat yesterday was the all around playing of Charley Carroll. The young school master per- formed fielding miracles around the keystone sack and walloped Buck Weaver for duo oT ping Carroll nipped Pelican onslaught on the curves of Dick Robertson with a sen sationAl double play, unasssted Carol leaped high in the air and speared Reilly's line drive with his gloved hand, then ran to second base before Weaver could get back This bit of fielding saved at least two runs and retired the side just as the Pelieans were preparing to slaughter Robbie.
 The lone BaroniaI counter was made in the ninth when Lord Cecil Coombs opened with terrific triple to left and scored on "Jeems" Magee's out. In i've of the nine stanza's the Barons opened by reaching first base on hits or on err TOTS, but Weaver would tighten up and only in the ninth was a score made. In the first Carroll reached third on his single and two outs. but Magee's s grounder ended Baronial hopes.
 On. the outher hand the Pelicans pop pered Robertson consistently and. aided by the sesquipedalian vocabulary of lawn Dobbs the visitors raised hob on the bases. The Pelicans scored in the second on Higgins single, his steal of second and safe wallop by Thomas. In the fifth the Dobbsmen scored again on single by Thomas. a pass and Weavers smack. However, 1t was in the ninth inning that the Pelicans got right. HITTING OF THOMAS

WHITNEY PLAYING . TRUE TOFORM AND FAVORITE ID WIN Percy Adair Wins Over Bryan Heard = Thr0ck-
 morton and Tutwiler
 in Semi Finals

Atlanta, June 17.-Piaying true to form Nelson Whitney of New Orleans, Perry Adair of Atlanta. R. C. Hush. Jr.. of New Orleans and C. l.. Dexter of DaIIns today reached the semI-Hnals in the annual championship tournament of the Southern Golf association here. Tomorrow Whitney will he matched with Bush and Adair with Dexter.
 Experts who have followed closely the play of this quartet in the present tournament tonight predicted that the real fight for the championship would come Saturday between Whitney and Dexter. Both have shown exceptional skill and neither has been forced to ex- tend himself so far In the morning round today Whitney easily disposed of c. N. Aldridge of Dallas, and his de- feat of Jack Howard of Montgomery in the afternoon was still easier. Dexter took his match from W. Bouden of New orleans In the morning by liberal margin and won handily from c. B. Brame in the afternoon.
 The most interesting match of the day and one that attracted q large gallery was between Perry Adair the 16yeaf- old Atlanta player, and Bryan Heard, the Houston veteran. Although more than 40 years marked the difference in their ages, this pair fought battle that was remarkably even, being du- cided on the nineteenth green when Adair ran down four-foot put for a five to Heard's six. Adair. whom Whit ney defeated for the championship at Memphis a year ago was one down at the turn, but took the tenth, sqyarins the match. The next two holes wero halved but Heard holed a mashie shot for a win on the thirteenth. The next four were halved but the Atlanta boy again squared the match on the eight eenth and won the extra hole and his place in the semi finals.
