(By RODNEY F. DUTCHER) lI.Aased Wire tO Aee-HeraIdl

NEW YORK, July 21-Luis Angel ,Firpo, the wild, wild bull of the Pampas, has put his hoof in it again.
 It did seem that the big Argentine heavyweight had gotten himself into many more varieties of jams than ever came into the life of any 5the" inter national parsonage except Battling Ski, but no sooner had Luis landed within shooting distance of the statue of liberty on his latest fight-purse raid than he was once more in trouble.
 Woman To, Blame
 It was a new kind of difficulty for big-hearted, Luis. A woman got him into it-though perhaps quite innocent ly. Only the most virtuous of accidents led up to it, according to the emphatic assertions of both Luis and Senorita Blanca Lourdes, the beautiful blonde 1S0-pound young woman who occupied the stateroom adjoining Firpos on the Liner American Legion during the trip from Buenos Aires, and who was ire Quently seen with Firpo when he was here last year.
 However, innocent as was the whole affair, Luis and Blanca, to say noth- ing of a couple of Firpo's attaches, spent several anxious and indignant hours at Ellis island under the i'm pression that they would at least have to stay there overnight and perhaps not be able to get into the country at all.
 Firpo is now in New York however, closely guarded by some, of, the hench- men of Tex Rickard lest he leap at some such bargain as tue grand cen tral terminal for $2,00O.' He was ad- mitted, after a heavy barrage of ques- tions from immigration officials, ''as a visitor" which means he may stay here at least six months, long enough to skid across somebody's ring canvas
 Meanwhile, Blanca, the Plump Seno- rita, remains at the ilsand, along with Eduardo Carbone and Miguel Serrara, the Ffrpo manager and sparring part Ter, respectively.
 Firpo and Senorita Lourdes. upon their arrival Monday, were detained by

Dixie Team Leads For Olympic Cup; Ike Osbun
 Turns In Fine 75

CHICAGO, July 21.-Cracking par by three strokes, Captain D. K. Car ter of Flossmoor Country club, Chi. cago, formerly Irish champion, today led a fast field of 151 golfers in the first 1S~ holes of the qualifying round of the western amateur golf champion. ship by shooting the 6,207-yard links of the Hinsdale Golf club, in 34-35- 69. Four players were tied for sec ond place at 70 and there were three 12s and two scores of 73.
 Sixty-two players scored under 80 and 30 had 76 or better, indicating that score of 153 likely would be the highest that will entitle a player after tomorrows 1S-hole medal round to enter match play on Wednesday. Only 31 players will survive to play off the matches along with Chick Evans, now holder of the title for. the eighth time, who is qualified by virtue of his championship.
 Captain Carter has not hit such a good stride since he came to the Unit ed States to live, and but. for an un- fortunate kick from the edge of trap on the second hole where he went one over par for the only time, he might have broken the course record of 67. He had four birdies.
 .a Kneppcr We'll Up -.~l
 Only a stroke behind were R. E Knepper of Chicago, formerly Iowa champion and Princeton star; George Hackle. of Chicago, a Princeton golfer who made low score of B for the first nine today.
 Frank Dyer of Memphis, formerly Metropolitan champion, led the fine bevy of. golfers from the southland by scoring par 72 and thereby sharing third scoring honors with John Daw- con and Art Sweet of Chicago. Sweet was formerly a golfer at Northwestern university, as was Howard Schendorf, who shared 73 with Harrison R. Johnston of St. Paul, who recently won the Minnesota title for the third time. Johnstons long driving gave Aim chance to break 70, but his put. ter failed him in several pinches.

T ARRY GILBERT took out insur- H ance against defeat Monday aft
 ernoon when he moved Johnnie HollingswOrth over into the pitchers box. Although Mir. HollingswOrth is not exactly what one might term invin- cible, such as Alexander the Great, maybe. nor invineible, such as the In- vincible Armada, possibly, but bona fide performance by him gives his team about as much chance to lose as-the boOkie at a One-hOrse race.
 It was rather evident that Mir.
 Gilbert was desiriOus of cOpping the
 contest. 1t is likely that he was
 somewhat desirOus of making fast
 CT progress here than with the
 Crackers in the series just past, in
 fact. it is a rumor pretty well es-
 tablished that Gilbert has an envi-
 ous eye on the Chicks.
 So the upshOt of the encounter was a Baron defeat, by the ignOble score of II to 2. The Barons were in a gen. erous mood. They did not show much display of ability trying to wing the Pelicans. Still the visitors from New Orleans did not need any gifts tossed their way for it is likely that Mir. HOl- lingSwOrth was quite capable Monday Of carrying the battle to the enemy and winning victory.
 Still the BarOns did not suffer
 so greatly as might have been the
 setback The Mobile Bears, at
 whose hind claws the Barons sat
 feveriShly snatching, also lost their
 encounter. Then on the other
 hand the Pels did not benefit so
 greatly as they might have for it
 was their rivals, the Crackers, who
 handed the Bears their spanking.
 Finally. on the last hand, both win ners profited by their victOries-the Travellers. Still at the best the race has developed into much of One-sided affair and it appears that the. Chicks will not lose consistently enough and no other team can win regularly enough to make the top berth contested for.
