The Case of Rudy Knepper

And then there is the case of Rudy
Knepper, the Sioux City youngster
Last summer Knepper won his first two
matches in the amateur championship
and gave Bobby Jones hard fight all
the way.
At Inverness this August, in the
open, he was good enough to turn in
one 72. He played well at North Shore
in the qualifying round of the amateur
championship and we'll enough at the
Engineers until fate collared him at
the short eighth hole.
His tee shot to this battling green
seemed to be well struck. The ball
carried well on q line to the pin, only
a few feet off. 1t struck the green on
a slope, carrcmed off and what looked
to be good shot one moment was
disaster the next.
For by the time young Knepper had
holed out he had taken eight strokes
five strokes lost to par on this one
hole. And he missed qualifying by a
stroke. This is quite enough to make a
good young golfer brood most of the
year when he begins to think of it all
over again.

Yesterday up to the eighth inning
the Robins had failed to score one lone
tally. Mr.. Pierotti, who won more fame
on the gridiron while a member of the
Washington and Lee University eleven
than on the diamond and who put the
Giants OUT of the running last week.
was going along in whirlwind manner.
The locals when the eighth period
came around, had failed to get anybody
across, and with the score to 0 it
looked as though Brooklyn would pass
out with & defeat tagged on to their
record.
The champions must have been
thinking along the same lines. for in
their half of the eighth they suddenly
blazed forth with volley of hits that
netted them two runs, and although the
Braves made a run in their half of
the ninth the Dodgers came right back
with two more runs to tie the count.
And then they went into the tenth
and won the game Quite come
back, even for a struggle that was
just a ball game.
Until the time when the Robins
came out Of their dream of the com
ing series with the Indians and the
bagful of coins to follow, the issue
was as listless as an international
cup yacht race. The players batted
and felded but nobody got any thrills.
Some of the customers even fell asleep
in their chairs and dreamed with the
Dodgers of glory and fame in the
series that is to be.
MOZART, whom Robbie hopes some
day will round into top-notch per-
former, started on the mound for the
Flatbush nine. He got by the first
inning in safety but in the second the
peppery Braves failed the offerings of
MOZART for three hits and as many runs.
Boeckel led off with q single to left
Christenbury singled to right, Boeckel
taking third O'Neill famed but
Johnston fumbled Ford's belt, filling
the bases. Pierotti forced Ford, Olson
to Sheehan, Boeckel scoring, but
Cruise cleaned the bases with slash
ins triple to right.
In the eighth Wheat's homer brought
in Johnston, who had singled, and in
the ninth Konetchy's double and
singles by Taylor and Olson, and
Eayrss tumble. gave the Dodgers the
tying runs. The winning run was
made on Grifhth's single and Myers's
triple.

There are times even now when Vardon

Tolley's Contrast

And Cyril Tolley. the British cham
pion, will carry two distinctly oppo-
site impressions of two short holes
One at Muirheld, 210 yards in
length, netted him a and the main
prize in Great Britains amateur clas-
sic.
One at the Engineers-155 yards in
.ength-netted him a 9-and sudden
elimination from Americas amateur
classic.
One short hole lifted him to the
heights. The other lowered him to the
deepest epths-deeper than ever
when his two colleagues were also un-
able to rise to the occasion.
champion golfer can never figure
to his own satisfaction just how he
could possibly take a 9 on par hole.
Yet seven years ago, at Garden City
Jerry Travers took on the short
eighteenth hole, where one more mis-
take would have eliminated him from
starting a worlds championship which
he eventually won.
Hutchison and Ray
And how differently Jock Hutchison
and Ted Ray VIII think Of that fourth
hole at Inverness during winter ses-
sions of reflection and thought.
Hutchison on the last day here was
close to the green's edge in 2. ONLY a
foot or two away. He Clipped short,
overran on his approach putt missed
coming back and got down in g.
AT the same hole Ray was slightly
off in 2. He had hard shot to get
dead over sloping green. But from
this position Ray holed his approach
tor 3. Hutchison with 8 and Ray
with from almost the same posi-
tions or distances from the cupEand
Ray beats Hutchison for the champion
ship by one stroke!
These are the turns and .twists-the
offerings of fate and destiny-that
help to make golf what it is, that add
immensely TO its lure. For no one can
ever see just what waits ahead How
often bad drive is followed by some
MIRACULOUS stroke that nets birdie
And how often fine drive is followed d
BY some mistake that means disaster!
Coming to the thirty fourth hole all
square against Reggie Lewis, Evans
was on the edge of the green in and
Lewis was beyond the cup in 3. Yet
Lewis won the hole-for Lewis got
down in one putt. These are the shocks
that tear iato ones nervous system
When Lewis sank a 12-foot putt for q
half On the thirty fifth, just as Evans
thought he bad squared tho match, it Is
no wonder that Chick came to the thir-
ty-sixth hole with most of the silver
iining worn away from the somber
clouc This is where long experience
helps-for the experienced campaignel
mas learned to know so many things
can happen in a golf match that it Is
the rankest folly to take anything for
granted or to become startled OF
shocked by any sudden turn.

New Workers Defeat
Robins at Soccer

The New York Football Club made
a most auspicious start il the National
League yesterday at the opening of its
new ground at 150th and Girard streets
by defeating the Robins Dry Dock
team, of Brooklyn. 3 goals to /.
Two minutes from the start, S. Nc
Donald, on the right. took pass from
bielch and found the Robns's net for
the first tally. The score was equal
lzed minutes later by Sturch of the
Robins from a mix-up.
Play proceeded for quarter of an
hour With honors fairly even until
Bleich got possession and by a
dribbled-out squirt shot New York's
second goal.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-04

Acting Manager Johnny Evers gave
some of the recruits q chance to show
what they could do, or, perhaps, what
they couldn't do. The only regulars in
the lineup were Frank Frisch, George
Burns and Long George Kelly. Walker
and Brown were the other occupants
Of the outfield, and Lefevre and Grimes
made up the rest Of the infeld. Al
Castor, formerly of Milwaukee, was be-
hind the bat.
Young Mr.. Grubbs, who halls from
the University of Kentucky, started on
the mound for the home players, but
the visitors bumped him rather Sc
vorey and he was taken out in favor
oe Pol Perritt at the end of the fifth
inning.
Smith Pitches Well
George Smith, who used to pitch for
the Columbia University team, pitched
fine ball for the cellar occupants, and
held the array OF rockies to exactly
four hits. Two of these were paired in
scored their lone run. He had previ-
ously kept them hitless, and only three
batters faced him in each of the first
four innings.
Not one Of the recruits got even ae
far as first base until Brown, who was
obtained from the San Antonio club.
crashed out two -bagger in the fifth.
Grubbs went along rather nicely
until the fourth inning, when the Phil
lies plastered him for four solid hits.
and these netted them three runs.
Williams opened the inning with a
single to right and Meusel went out on
foul to CASTOR. Artie Fletcher
slammed three dagger to center,
which scored Williams. Casey Stengei
sent Fletcher across a moment later
with a single, which bounced past
Grimes.
Williams Hits Hard
On the hit-and-rua play Wrightstone
poked single through short which put
Stengel to third. Wheat forced Wright
stone at second on grounder to Le-
fevre, but Stengel scored on the play.
Smith then forced Wheat at second for
the third out.
The Philles added another in the
fifth on Williams's third hit, double
to right, and J. Millcr's single to left.
The Giants only tally came as the
result of Browns two-bagger and
single by Grimes.

Noble Lord went out to
Australia, some years ago,
be ause that country
seemed to his Sire a greater
distance from England
than any other.
He raised sheep and grew
wool.
Along came the War and
wool was one of the mate
rials in greatest demand.
That was great stuff, for
it meant a big profit on his
first clip.
But, next season, men
were scarce and, as the war
went on, tn e y became
scarcer, and SO the price of
wool did not look so high
to the Younger Son.
The War stopped, but
the price of labor remained
high, and his last shipment
to England was sold at a
loss.
That far away man
