stopped in the second round after Carl
Duane. weighing 120 pounds, had cut
Moe Ginsberg's mouth so severely that
the referee decided the fight could not
continue. 1t was impossible for Gins
berg to answer the bell for the third
round
Young Jake Ahearn, veteran middle
weight and we'll known to New York
tight fans, was outponted by Willie
Naylor, of Irishtown, Brooklyn, in a
six-round affair. The bout was fast
but Ahearn, who weighed 1877 pounds,
could not match MAYORS speed.
The bout between Andy Thomas, of
the East Side. and Jimmy Duffy, Of the
West Side, proved to be q fivver. 1t
was stopped after one minute and
fifteen seconds in the second round
when Referee Johnny McAvoy decided
that Duffy was no match for Thomas.
Why the bout was stopped was not
quite plain to the crowd, and the ref
eree's action resulted in lot of boo
ing. Thomas was hitting Duffy at will,
but the West Slider was never in trou-
BILE. Thomas weighed 1421a and Duffy
142. The latter seemed incensed at the
referees action.

The days work consisted Of punting,
tackling the dummy, forward pass
session and signal drill, after which
O'Neill called it day. Ben Roderick,
the outstanding star Of the Blue and
White clad forces; Lou Gehrig and
Jack Van Brocklin did the kicking.
Roderick got off some fine punts, the
pigskin sailing through the air sixty
to sixty-hve yards on every kick. Lou
Gehrig showed that he easily ranks
second to Roderck in the kicking game
by averaging sixty yards on his boots.
Several of the backs were given a
chance at throwing forwards, and, as
usual, Ben Roderick showed himself to
be the shining light In addition, he
did a great deal Of the receiving when
tossing the pigskin. His receiving was
just as good as his throwing.
Yesterday morning there were two
tacklng dummies at Baker Field, but
inasmuch as one was needed for the
freshmen squad, which will begin it's
real work to-day, Gus Peterson,
wrestling coach and utility man at
Baker Field, took one down to Morn
ingside Heights. Francis Fargo tackled
the remaining one too we'll yesterday
afternoon and ripped 1t, so that it
could no longer be used, at least for
the day.
Following the sudden interruption Of
the tackling practice signal drill was
started for three teams, which went
through the various plays for about
forty minutes.
Koppisch and Gehrig, who will un-
doubtedly hold down the halfback posi-
'tions Saturday, weigh, respectively, 1866
and 210 pounds. Roderick's avoirdu-
pos Is the same as the captains, while
Burtt weighs 161. If this combination
gets the assignment Saturday the back
field will average IT'S pounds. Gehrig,
although heavy, is exceptionally speedy,
but not quite as fleet as three other
members of the backfeld.
Among the linemen Eddie Fischer,
captain of last years freshman team,
Is the heaviest, weighing 21O pounds.
Fischer has been at guard ever since
practice started, and it is apparent
that he is destined to stay there, with
Franklin Brodil, a 177-pounder, at the
other guard position. Last year he
played at end and over the ball, but in
asmuch as end material was not scarce,
while guard material was, O'Neill will
probably keep him there for the rest Of
the season.
Francis Fargo and H. w. Blaine, both
centers, weigh about tho same, with

British Golfers Hard Hit
by Walker Cup Defeat
Fetish of Long Driving Is
Blamed for Failure.

LONDON. Aug. 81 (Associated Press) -
British golfers are hard hit over the de-
feat OF their picked players In the inter-
national matches al southampton. ~. Y.
There is much comment in the morning
newspapers. and the upshot OF the ex-
perts' analysis seems TO be that the Brit
lsh lost their supremacy by making a
fetish OF long driving.
The Daily Mail editorially recalls the
remark made by Walter j. Travis when
he surprised the golf world eighteen
years ago ny capturing the British ANA
teur championship. Travis said: II won
because the British players are engag-
ing In debauchery OF long driving"
That Ia stili the trouble here. accord
ing 20 Harry vnrdon. who In an inter-
view n quoted as declaring:
All that our leading amateurs. and
our younger professionals too, seem 70
bother about In hitting the ball a tre-
ncndous distance. They don't trouble
about the finer points of the game, which
count for most, That IS where the
Americans beat US. They beat us par
ticulariy in the iron shots up to the
hole. which have always been the master
shots In golf"
vardon rates the American golfers so
highly that he wagered they would win
every game from the British In the COM
petition for the Walker cup.

QUALIFYING TEST
PLEASES GOLFERS
All Starters at Brookline Will
Remain for Medal Play
Monday.
by KERR N. PETRIE.

So cordially detested is the eighteen
hole round by the average American
golfer that the program outlined for the
forthcoming national amateur champion
ship at the Country Club of Brookline is
certain to receive the approval OF every
one of the contestants.
Heretofore when the field has been SO
large that 1t has overlapped into the
previous week the players have been
started on a preliminary round Satur-
day and the list reduced to sixty-four
Contestants. These survivors then have
been started on the qualifying play
proper, over thirty-six holes more. This
time there will be an eighteen hole
round tomorrow. not as a preliminary
wedding out but as part of the general
qualifying. For, instead Of sixty-four,
the whole field will take up the medal
play on Monday where Il leaves off to-
morrow night.
There is no denying that this new
method is much superior to the old. If
- hdu Aolhi1S SlSe W coHhHchu StAi
would be worth while for the reason that
1t at least gives all those who were
wont to take their exit from the years
classic on the first day chance to say
that they have played In the champion
ship proper. Seldom year passes but
finds the tale being told of how some
one with more than local reputation
has been forced by some unseemly
break" of fortune to evacuate the
sacred soil of the championship circuit
before he has really started and all be-
cause the eighteen hole preliminary test
leaves him no chance to retrieve himself
for that one unlucly slip. 1t Is gen.
orally agreed that In thirty-six holes the
man who cannot make the grade is
entitled to swallow his medicine.

FIossmoor a Good Test.

The Flossmoor course over which the
national amateur golf championship OF
1928 is to be decided should prove to
be good selection provided the tourna-
ment is not plunged into the middle of
one OF those protracted periods OF
drought which invariably beset the
links of Chicago in midsummer. Floss
moor has excellent length and an ad-
mirable layout and under normal
spring and fall conditions will prove to
be first class test of the game. How
ever, In the dry season. and like most
middle Western courses, 1t has sin
gularly little to commend it.
II was over Flossmoor and during the
arid period in the middle West that the
Professional Golfers Association cham
pionship was decided two years ago
The pros never will forget that meeting
For the course was on all fours with
Skokie as that circuit was found when
the players began TO gather for this
years national open title event.
In many places the ground was
cracked so badly that rule had to be
promulgated allowing ball thus
1unkered" to be lifted. As usually
happens when recourse is had TO special
rules TO meet an emergency, the situa-
ton was far from satisfactory.
There is some talk of holding next
years championship early in the sea
son so as to avoid the dangers of hav-
Ing TO play Flossmoor in the middle oi

DICK WALSH LOSES
IN FINAL AT TOLEDO
Held Annexes Public Links
Golf Title, Beating Local
Player, 6 and 5.

TOLEDO, Ohio. Aug. 81 ASSOCIATED
Press) Eddie Held, little nineteen
year-old former caddy at the Forest
Park course in st. Louis and not much
taller than the driver with which he
sends the ball an average of 275 yards
straight down tho fairway. to-day be-
came the public links golf champion OF
the United States by defeating Richard
Walsh of New York. 6 and 8, In the first
u. S. F. A. tournament for players not
members of private clubs.
The victory, which brought Eddie his
first out OF town title, a gold medal and
possession Of the James Standish, Jr.,
cup, which is a third as tall as its win
ner, was obtained through one Of the
prettiest exhibitions of shooting in any
tournament this year.
When Mr.. Standish, In presenting the
cup for the United States Golf Associa-
ton. told Held that his game to-day
would have beaten any one in the world,
not even excepting Walter Hagen and
Gene Sarazen, there was none in the
big gallery who disagreed, for there was
not one real mistake In Eddies play.
Three times with q safe lead he added
strokes to his medal score by trying to
drive long hazards at the request OF the
gallery but not once did he make a
tactical error that really hurt him.
Walsh fought gamely, butt he simply
met a far superior golfer. The New
York lad repeatedly thrilled the specta-
tors with wonderful mashie niblick re-
coyeries and made some nice drives, but
his putting was miserable and he could
not seize any OF the few openings which
Held gave him. 1t was on the greens
that Held really won, and the final hole
OF the match was one which went 20 the
St. Louisian through superior short
work when Walsh should have easily
halved.
This was the short thirteenth. Walsh
was easily on from the tee, but Eddie's
ball was in sand trap with bunker
in front. He pitched back three feet
from the cup. while Walshs twenty-five
foot putt was three feet short and his
second two inches short. Facing an
almost styrnie Eddie sank his putt. The
match was over, 6 TO 8, and the two
youngsters walked back to the club
house arm in arm to the cheers OF a
gallery of some 600 persons.
Tonight Eddie and his brother, who
serves as the champions caddy, were
on their way to Brookline. where the
king of the public links shooters will
try his fortune against the worlds
greatest amateurs.
Helds card showed score of three
over par In the morning and three over
for the afternoon. but four of the
six strokes were due TO stymies. and
he easily would have been under par
had he been pressed closely and not
tried to drive the almost impossible
carries.
