MAGIC GOLF
TRIMMED HIM,
SAYS EVANS
Beaten Star Calls Sweatser's
Performance Greatest Seen
in American Title Rlay.sa

I'D nhOOhLlNE COlUNlh1 CLub,
IL BROOKLINE, Mass, Sept. o.
- Jesse Sweetser, big and
handsome boy wonder Of the
Siwanoy Club, Of New York city,
today captured the United States
amateur golf championship through
thirty-three holes of magic golf
that defeated me and made him
possessor of the most remarkable
record Of championship play the
game ever has known in this
country.
sweetser is the youngest amateur
ever to hold the. highest golf honor
being but twenty-one years old. and
he Is the only one to take the crown
on his first trip up to the finals.
All the rest Of US had TO take the
KNOCKS and the heartaches OF set
backs year after year. justas Bobby
Jones again had. to experience dis
appointment here this year. before
I'VE reached the top of the heap. His
iyictory over me today marked inc
only time I ever reached the finals
without taking the title.
Mows Down Stars.
sweetser's record OF success at
Brookline, however. deals more I'm
portantiy, perhaps. with the victories
he won during the week prior to to
day. In his matches he defeated
! While Hunter, former amateur
champion Of England. and Jesse
/ Guilford, American title holder prior
to the Brookline tourney.
He disposed of another sterling
player in his first match, 20 that
in a way he hewed line Of carnage

As for the match itself. we were
both a bit ragged in the, morning
round. 1t was excusable on Sweet

could expect him to be q bit nervous
on such an occasion. But those who

the genuine friendship with which

Then the Printers handed the
Mohawks a setback and now the
battle wakes hot. Dominican

won much fame this season. The
Printers copped the national typos

first class ball at home all year.
Dominican Lyceum, has fought
hard In the Independent series.
Everything the southwest club ,lias
gained has been thoroughly earned.
Today Jimmy Buffers men win be
fighting with their backs TO the
wall. They are last In the standing.
The Mohawks lead with two and
one. The Printers stand one and
one and Dominican Lyceum has lost
game and won none.
In their first encounter In the
play-off the Printers and Dominican
Lyceum played a scoreless draw,
which has been tackled on the

meet third time.

Mick Mcconnell, Frank Krnpp, or
Clatterbuck will hur1 today FOR
Dominican Lyceum and will face
either Heinie Webb or Norman Hut

are selected by the team managers,
a pitchers duel is likely. Pitching
throughout the play-off has been ex.
cellent. Every game has been close.
Tomorrow the Mohawks and
Dominican Lyceum will play at
Washington barracks. In this game
Dominican Lyceum probably will
face Walter Beall, the Indians star,
but has plenty Of pitching talent to
oppose him with.
Beall looked none too good In his
last appearance. He had pitched the

SYLACAUGA AGGIES
BEAT ALEXANDER CITY

Alexander City, October 16.-(Spe-
cial, 1.-The football team of the Syla-
| cauga Secondary Agricultural school
defeated Alexander City High by the
score of 81 to IA. The individual star
of the game was Capt. Earl Persons
of the Aggie aggregation. while
Alexander City exhibited a snappy
pair of halves In Watwood and
Smith. Underwood. Sylacauga's quar-
ter, although painfully injured. play
ed the entire game and showed the
cool Judgment of field marshal
John T. Bowden, Sylacauga's husky
tackle. played his usual faultless
game.
Alexander City has so far been de-
feated only once by a high school
team, having won over Lineville and
Opelika. the score of the latter game
being II to 0. Coach Ainsley deserves
credit for having put out such a
scrappy team out of absolutely raw
material.
Sylacauga's next game will be with
the husky crew from Admission. at
the Marble City during the county
fair next Friday. Coach White would
be glad to schedule games at home
or away for the dates November II

trum and led the students in cheers
for the coach. school and team. Prof.
J. A. Hendricks concluded the pep
meeting with a few remarks aimed
Owentonward.
Treated Well
The team itself is loud In it's praise
for the magnificent treatment ae-
corded it at Starkvil1e. Their enter
tainment while there was princely.
Groups of students formed about
members of the team Monday all
around the campus, and the game
Saturday was played over and over
again many times.
Ham Stevens suffered about the
only injury as a result of the game.
Some A. & NJ Aggie badly handled
Hams ankle and as consequence he
was limping around all Monday. The
ankle Is in pretty bad shape and
will likely keep Ham out of the
fracas with Mississippi college. This
will be a loss to the team as Ham
is said to have handled A. e M. s
punts perfectely beside getting off
some nice ones himself
Thomas Incorporating
The rest OF the team is practically
intact. Fatty Thomas, who was not
in the line-up at Starkville, is re-
cuperating rapidly and will likely be
ready for action soon. He will find
trouble in getting his old place back,
as Coach Cope claims he has a COM
bination hard to beat and break.
Fatty handled the managerial du-
ties on the A & M. trip.
The team will have little opportu-
nifty for practice between now and
their game with Mississippi college
Friday. The Bulldogs will leave out
of here Thursday night, so that they
will only have four days in which to
practice.
A rousing send-off will probably
be given the team Thursday night
after supper just before they leave.
as the student body has become much
buoyed by the showing of their team

ENSLEY JACKETS
TO MEET BAYLOR
HERE THURSDAY
Chattanooga Prep Gridders
Will Play at lockwood
This Week

Ensley High school athletic au-
thorities are furnishing Birmingham
one of its prep football classics of the
1922 football season Thursday after
noon, when the Yellow Jackets of
Ensley nfeet the Baylor Prep school
eleven, of Chattanot ga, at Redwood.
Negotiations for the game We're not
closed until yesterday. and the an
nouncement last night that the Chat
tanoega team comes here for a game
Thursday afternoon was something CT
a surprise to local prep grid fans.
Baylor has always put out a SPLEEN
did prep eleven, and has figured in
several championships during the
past few years. Birmingham hasn't
seen the Chattanooga outfit in action
in several years, although a couple
of years age negotiations almost led
to the scheduling of a Dixie prep
championship game between the Al
bertville Aggies and Baylor. This OPP
portunity of seeing Baylor in action
at Fleetwood Thursday will probably
not be oyerle oked by local prep
fans.
Jackets First Game
1t will be the first game of the
season for Coach Bryan's Ensley yell
low Jackets, and it goes without say
ing that it will be one of the hardest
the local team will have to play this
year. However. the Jackets have
had several scrimmages. and are in
good shape for regular battling.
Coach Bryan announced yesterday
that the following team will probably
start against Baylor Saturday: Wal
lSer and Vines, ends; English and
Lowery. tackles; Fayette and Fair
cloth, guards; Hardie. center; Hass-
Ter. quarterback; Tinklepaugh and
Mott. halves; Spring, fullback. Vow
ell and Freeman are two halves who
are sure to see service in Thursdays
game at Redwood, while Barnett is
a linesman who Will more than likely
be used also.
Average 143 Pounds
The above team averages 143
pounds to the man. The backfie1d
will average 1873 pounds, while the
line will average about 146 pounds.
That team is about the average in
weight, according to prep standards.
The Jackets will be outweighed many
pounds to the man by the Baylor out
fit, 1t is thought.
The Chattanooga eleven has several
Birmingham boys on the squad, and
the Ensley Baylor game Thursday is
expected to draw heavily from local
prep football circles in matter of at
tendance.
The Baylor team will arrive at Bir-
mingham sometime Wednesday night.
the boys putting up at the homes of
Birmingham boys attending the Chat
tanooga school.
The game at Redwood Thursday
will begin at 5 o'clock, Ensley High
athletic authorities announced yester-
day.

ST. LOUIS HAS TWO

ST. Louis, October 1e.-while the

PANTHERS' NEXT
BATTLE WILL BE
AT CHATTANOOGA
Coaches Are Expected to Put
Team Through Sorimmage
This Afternoon
Bx HoRACE RENEGAR

The Hlltoppers of Birmingham
Southern again went through the
ropes yesterday afternoon at Munger
bowl. and although the hardest of
work was not In order for the grid
ders, the coaches spoke much when
they merely warned the men to come
out with headgear and all the apparel
of real warfare this afternoon.
With the scrimmage expected this
afternoon the team Is certain to be
rushed in preparation for the hard
game in Chattanooga Saturday
against the strong University of
Chattanooga Moccasins. The Moo
gans have rung UP quite an impress
sive record so far during the season,
having scored more than 100 points,
while their goal Tine remains yet
increased
With this fact in the foreground,
and the realization of games with
Mlllsaps, ole Miss and Sewanee in
quick succession on the menu, the
mountain cats have no time to waste.
The brass band and track team will
accompany the team to the Lookout
City, although it is feared that the
special train will be unable to make
the trip because of the distance.
Slight injuries from the Mercer
game held down the workout yester-
day. the kinks being the main thing
that the coaches had to drive out of
the Gold and Blacksters.
I,anky Jim Rogers, who shined so
in his 1922 debut Friday against the
Georgians, was unable to go through
the PAGES yesterday afternoon from
minor injuries sustained in the game,
but he Is expected to be back in the
harness today.
The Chattanooga aggregation. un-
der the coaching of MeAllester, for
mer McCallie mentor. is cutting quite
a wide swath so far, and the Pan
theirs are expecting another blood
and thunder battle of the type that
characterized the Mercer game.
Little news has matriculated from
the Lookout stronghold with the ex-
ception of the fact that II has been
learned that Talman is not with the
Moccasins this year, while french,
Army fullback. Is not with the team
as formerly reported.

KNOCKS OUT JOE.
DONELY IN EIGHTH.

Memphis. October Especial y
Age and experience fell at the feet
OF youth and aggressiveness tonight
when Joe Donely, the veteran ban
tamweight of Newark, N. j., was
knocked out in the last round of a
scheduled eight-round affair by
Claude Wilson, pugilistic bud of
Birmingham, at the Southern Ath-
1etic club. With the lower rope of
the arena suspending his head trom
the floor, Donely was counted o% by
Referee Billy Hack with but a min
ute more to go.
In furious exchange of rights and
lefts, and with Donely trying des-
perately to wipe out margin Will
son had as they went into the final
round, Wilson caught the Jersey
Italian flush on the point of the chin
with beautiful and perfectly timed
right. Donely hit the floor on his
back. The nape of his neck rested
upon the rope and he hardly quivered
as Hack tolled off the count of To-

the winner. with 1t necessary for
Donely to at least score a knock
down to turn the tide.
The first and third rounds were
about even. Donely had the second
and fourth. Beginning with the fifth.
Wilson literally took the fight away
from Donely and began to lay the
foundation of his victory He had a
decided margin in the fifth, sixth and
seventh. In these rounds, Wilson
forced the fighting and several times
turned Donely back when he showed
an inclination to trade wallops.
Both Dazed
Each landed staggering punch
in the fourth round. Early in the
session Wilson sent Donely tottering
from right to the chin, but Donely
went into a clinch and saved himself.
About midway the round. Donely
idazed Wilson with right to the jaw,
and 1t might have been the begin
ming of the end had Donely been a
little quicker In trying to follow it
up. Although dazed. Wilson went
into a clinch and when they came
out the youngster was in good shape.
Donely appeared to tire during the
fifth round, while Wilson was as
fresh as daisy at the finish.
The Birmingham lad made a de-
cided hit here, and. though yet
in his teens. fought with the cool
ness and deliberateness of veteran
