disc But, even considering that it would not have
been necessary to slash SO deeply into prices as

Knepper Winner of Trans-Mississippi
 Golf Tournament
Ky Associated Pres.

Omaha. Neb., July 15.-Rudolph Knepper. of Sioux City. lifted the trans- Mississippi golf crown from the head. of George Won Elm. Salt Lake City, here this afternoon, when he defeated tho champion five up and four to play.
 Throughout the morning round, which left Won Elm down to the challenger, the largest gallery that ever trod the billowy fairways or stumbled through the ankle-turning rough saw mediocre .olf. In tho afternoon round, Won Elm shot golf of a brand totally different from the morning round.
 Von Elm had gained two of the first seven holes and the time for knepper to crack, as many followers of the game had predicted he would do. had arrived. Knepper, however, proved that his nerves were un- rattled by the comeback of the champion.
 The loss of the eighth took the starch out of Won Elm. who failed to hold his iron tee shot to the course on the ninth after the challenger had given him an opening by slic- ing out of bounds.
 Six down and nine to play, it be- came a question only of how soon the champion would be dethroned by halved holes. This came on the fourteenth. when Knepper, over the green with his second. clipped up perfectly and halved the hole with Won Elm who lay In position for an eagle, but missed putt of nine feet.

 While he was in charge Mat thews piloted the team to victory In two series, but defeat in the other. Under his guidance the Barons won five and lost five games. and railbirds claim that a fifty fifty break for the Barons during these times and days is good enough.
 Raiiblrds are wondering whether Dunn can lift the Barons from the quagmire or second di- vision and hoist them up Into the race again. However. if the new Baron boss doesn't do wonders this season it won't bo surprising. considering tho conditions under which he is taking charge of the team, and his real trial will come next Eeason.
 Dunn is joining the team after completing his duties with ths Detroit Tigers. He comes to the Barons highly recommended by Ty Cobb, Tiger manager, and Baronial moguls arc looking for great things from the new man Rger.

He figures that there arc lot of pugs up here whose reps are big enough to make it worth his while topping them over. It Is in- teresting to note that he is after the big, slow fellows at first. rather than the quick steppers like Tommy Gib- bons, Charley Weinert and tho rest.
 Plan of Campaign.
 After a few bouts against second ratsrs, he wants to take on Fred Fulton, and he says he Is quite sure he can plaster Jess Willard when he gets ready to tackle him. What he wants is series of fall and winter bouts againss men whose names are sufficiently known to make the bouts attract a country wide. If not world wide, interest

 Real Test For Claude
 Since Claude Wilson's debut n the ring game, the local lad has scored impressive victory after victory, and Birmingham fans are finding 1t hard matter to make up their minds regarding his ability. Wilson has not been sent against a man familiar to local fans yet. and the railhirds will look upon the Donza- Wilson bout as a chance to get q real line on tho ability of Claude.
 Donna has travelled far and wide since he last fought in Birmingham. He has met some of the best boys In the bantHmweiGht division. and. while his success has varied some what. he has generally come off fairly well.

Then he took up the pro game, only to receive a ter ribie whipping at the hands of Red Watson in his debut. Donza tried again, however, and Is fast making good. He has been mentioned by several sport authorities as the com ing successor to Pete Herman. for mer bantamweight champion of the world.
 When asked whether he thought he was rushing Wilson too much or not, Tommy Tompkins, Claude's manager. gave the following very good reasons for sending his charge against a man like Donza:
