Golf Experts Halted
By Difficult Course
In Western Open Meet
(By Associated Press)

OAKLAND HILLS COUNTRY
CLUB. Birmingham, Ala, Aug. "a
Determination to reduce their scores
in the second qualifying round took
an equal place today in the minds
of more than a hundred professional
and amateur golfers competing in the
Western Open Tournament, with
their desire to anex the championship.
This determination arose from the
fact many of the experts yesterday
found a course they could not easily
master.
So difficult did they find Oakhills
that out of the brilliant array of play
ers, only twenty eight finished the
first IS holes under so and only one
par was turned in. That was by
Mike Brady, Oakland Hills profession
al, whose score was 37-35-72.
Oakhills has long been known as n
tough course, but many a professional
was ready to vouch for the fact to-
day that it rank along with Skokie,
Oakmont, and others that have put
stars to the test.
The numerous traps, bunkers and
natural hazards proved too much for
such golfers as Emmett French and
Bobby Cruikshank, who turned in SOS

DIXON HAD TROUBLES
OF HIS OWN TO CURE

There is romance aplenty in the
brief career of Cletus Dixon, the for
mer University of Chicago player who
is now starring for Cedar Rapids in
the Mississippi Valley league.
Dixon decided, when he was 16, that
he wanted to be a ball player like
Ty Cobb" He was living in Sac City,
Iowa. then. His mother decided she
hadn't raised her boy to be a ball
player. So, when Manager Ned Egan
of the Waterloo club in the Mississippi
Valley circuit, offered to give Dixon a
chance, the boy slipped out the back
door. He got a chance at first base
and looked promising in an exhibit
ton game. Then his mother heard
of his whereabouts and took him
home "by the ear" His chosen career
was halted until he completed his
college course. Then he joined the
Cedar Rapids team.
He is playing the outfield now and
is hitting we'll over 800. Several big
league scouts have looked him over.
Whether or not he has had season
ing enough for the big show is prob
lematical, but he is conner.

around the squared circle"
With the additional seats and the
improvements in the seating arrange
mefts in the bleachers the grounds
will be able to take care of at least
$4,000 persons at any fistic engage

And this will mean a gate of more

you cannot pack as many people into
Boyle's Thirty Acres as you will be
able to do at the polo grounds.
Arrangements are already under
way to stage some of the biggest
fights in the history of the ring at
the historic grounds. The first match
that may be seen there will be one
between Jack Dempsey and Harry
Wills, the negro heavyweight, for the
championship.
The date for the proposed contest
will be in October. The definite time
will not be set until it is known
whether the Giants or Yankees-they
both use the same playing field-win
the remnants in their respective
leagues.

as soon as the pennant races are over

at the Polo Grounds the fistic encoun

! And with the Polo Grounds being
turned over for fistic engagements il
would not be surprising if the same
move were to be made in the new

seating capacity of approximately rs,
900. Should the Yankee ball park be
also used for fistic encounters i
would mean a crowd of over 100000.

Tex Richard, the impresario of the
boxing world, viii not have things
his way in the future-that is, in the
staging of championship bouts in the
open air.
Tex is going to have rival-a rival
that will be able to offer the huge
purses that have placed the leading
fight promoter in a class by himself.
In the past Tex has had the field
all to himself. There was no one who
could match the bids he made for
championship events. Offers of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to fight
ers to compete in Richards Boyle's
Thirty Acres in Jersey City, the Valo-
drome, or Madison Square Garden in
New York, were common and the
other promoters were forced to take
back seat. Tex has had all the
cream of the boxing events-the other
promoters the skinned milk.
New Rival Appears
| Now all this will be changed. A
rival worthy of Tex's mettle has
popped up. The new rival will use
the historic Polo Grounds-the scene
/ of many stellar baseball events and
gridiron contests-as the spot to stage
the biggest events in the fistic world.

A. c. John NJ. O'Connor is president

owners of the Giants are interested
in the venture or not is not known.
No doubt if they are not directly in

from the lease OF the grounds.

was let to build a double decker
bleacher at the Polo Grounds. The

more persons to be seated in the big
