WESTERN TOURNEY
 DRAWS GOLF STARS
Ouimet Returns to Competitive
 Golf, Playing in Title Event

Undismayed by a denial of rein- statement to amateur standing in the U. $. G. A., Francis Ouimet of the Woodland Golf club is prepared to start in his first tourney in mora than a year at the Western amateur cham pionship at Midlothian today. Ouimet is playing in the Western affair as an amateur and is recognized as such un- der the rules promulgated by that body few months ago.
 The likable young Boston boy who gained international fame bv defeat ing Harry Vardon and Edward Ray for the national open championshin at Brookline in 1913 will be welcomed with a mighty shout, since his friends are legion, and most golfers feel that Ouimet is an amateur in spirit if not in fact.
 Few followers of the royal and an- cient sport will forget Ouimets ster> ling victory over two of England's solfing peers. After 72 holes in that Brooklin affair Ouimet was tied for first place at BOA strokes with vardon and Ray, two foremost opponents of the game. All American professionals had been outdistanced and Ouimet was the only amateur left in the run ming.
 The youth of 21 years was hardly considered on the playoff, but his golf was still faultless and he carried the final test with a five stroke margin, finishing with 72 to 77 for Vardon and 1S for Ray. The following year Ouimet proved his open victory not a f1uke by winning the amateur cham pionship and defeating Jerome D. Travers in the final match at Ekwan- ok by a margin of and 5.
 This same Ouimet barred because of selling golf goods in his Boston store from participating with r. $. G. A. amateurs. is going to be accepted as an equal in Fellowship by the West and will be given a chance to prove he still has the skill which made his game feared by every amateur and professional in the world. Ouimet comes back to tournament play at the solicitation of the devotees of the game.

PHILLIPS AND CUBS :
 SHEDDING BADLY
Giants Advance Steadily Pennant: ward and Now Hold Safe Lead

New York, July 9-Playing almost unbeatable baseball while Philadel- phia and Chicago were doing poorly the New York team increased it's lead in the National League the last week by 60 points and today the Giants are virtually 100 points ahead of the Phillies. McGraw's men won six out of seven games, losing on Thursday to Brooklyn by 8 to score.
 The Giants hit the ball hard and opportunely throughout the games against Boston, Brooklyn and St. Louis. The pitching staff also is work ing well. St. Louis, which had not lost game the last week until it came to New York Friday, dropped three games in row to New York.
 Philadelphia played poorly and won only one out of seven games. the morning game on July 4, when it de- feated Boston, to 3. The batting of the Phillies was poor and the
 pitching was weak
 Cubs Slipping Fast.
 The Chicago team apparently has
 weakened, and Mitchell's men lost six out of seven games. The Cubs fell
 into fourth place on Monday, and are now tied with Cincinnati. Cincinnati
 and St. Louis played we'll in the Vest early in the week, and the Reds led both leagues in batting, averaging
 better than ten hits to the game for the week. N In the American League Chicago
 found the going hard the last of tho week, and Boston regained the lead on Friday. Saturday both teams lost
 frct of i,,to ftov t al series. Today Chicago legained the, i lead by defeating Philadelphia while Boston was losing to Cleveland. al - When Chicago could not do betteFs 1 than break even in eight games Bos-s <: ton won five. lost two and tied one. | The Red Sox made their best gain at

DUNN IN RIGHT
Champion Kilbanc Announces That Faithful Friend Will be Cared for When Retirement Comes.

In the general severance of rela- tions between boxers and their man. agers, with Willard in the van in the matter, it is refreshing to find one who at least promises to be faithful to his business associates. Kilbane de- clares that he will never give his manager, Jimmy Dunn, reason to re- fer to him as migrate" which is the term that discarded managers inva- riably apply to boxer who notifies his manager that he will be unable to further avail himself of his services.
 Kilbane announces that when he gets ready to retire from the ring he will start a billiard room in Cleveland and that Dunn will be his partner. Thus he will return the watchfulness and care that his manager has exer- cised all the years he has been fight ing.

AIRPLAhEs AND ASH TREES.

A timber expert states that the de-
mand for ash has gone up so enor-
mously since we went in for airplane
construction on the present big scale
that prices are fully three times what
they were in .pre-war days. Moth
ing but the very best English ash
serves the purpose. ''The finest in
the world" is his verdict. Expert
ments with other, wood, notably
American spruce, have yielded most
disappointing results, and it is Gu
rious fact, due to climatic causes,
that Irish ash is unsatisfactory too.
But an ash tree cannot be grown in
a day. The timber is utterly worth
less for airplane purposes unless it
is at least sixty years old. 1t is all
the better if it is double that age,
when somesof the trunks can show a
clear, straight run of 80 feet or more.
