and Bob Mcdonald of Chicago, al- though neither did better than par on any nine. ~
 Eleven players came home with scores of 76, including William Mehl- horn, St. Louis; Al Watrous, Grand Rapids; Jack Burke of St. Paul, and Henry Cuici of New York.
 A total of 70 players finished with scores of 80 or better and made it ap- pear that the GA who will survive to- morrow night after adding tomorrow's scores to those of today, would have to shoot 16O or better for the 88 holes in order to play the two 18-hole rounds on Saturday. In fact, there were 50 golfers who finished with scores better than 30 and some fairly good players were just over the 80 mark, including Frank Spoegel of Memphis, with 82 {; Jack Blakesley of Kenosha, with a like score, and Mel Smith, Pasadena, who set an unofficial course record of 67 for the Calumet links in practice.
 Jock Hutchison did not start well in his attempt to defend the title won last year at Memphis. He required 40 strokes for the first half, but was only two above par on the second nine for a 7S.
 Captain B. F. Carter of Chicago, for merly champion of Ireland, with score of 79, completed the quartet of anna teurs who scored under 80.
 George Brown of Greenville, Miss, was among the withdrawals.
 A variety of weather greeted the contestants. A stiff Quartering breeze swept the course from the southwest when play started and by midday blew up heavy shower which drenched the players aud large gallery following Evans anu Hutchison. A hot, humid sunshine followed the downpour and later lowering cluds made the visibility uncertain for gauging approaching.

began to skate fancy figures around him, fluttering gloves in the expression less face of the Wild Bull, until Firpo suddenly sprung right slam from the hip and nudged Mir. Townsend half way across the ring. Townsend went two long rounds with Firpo and reached him liberally with light lefts to the face but not once get out of the way of Luis Angelo's right.
 Creamy" Tate
 Large Bill Tate, cream-colored gent who has fought and whipped Wills in his time, then travelled with Firpo and gave him more serious argument than Townsend had been able to subnit.
 The left-hand that Luis was suid to have developed at Saratoga was still as useless as it was last summer at At lantic City when it fractured all world records for uselessness. Firpo simply hasn't the swalloping impulse on his port side and even when he tried to use the left for: gripplig hook to clam down bills guard it was clumsy mem Der with no knowledge of it's work. Tate stuck his left. in Luis Angelo's face whenever he wanted to try and the Wild Bull, becoming disgusted with science, reverted to force, slamming ming with the right regardless of the angle of fire and regardless of counter punches.
 It is deceptive punch, this wild right crash of Firpo's. It violates all the ordinances of the fight business, and large, moist parties with ham, burger ears, standing on the sidelines, state that if they were "in there" with him. they would take his head off with left hooks while the right was in flight. But Jess Willard had the most terrific | straight left in the ring. He used it on Firpo and he went down and out from the right smash. Jack Dempsey stabbed Firpo with stunning left hooks to the ribs and chin, but the same right scythe knocked Dempsey's heels in the air.
 The Luis Firpo of today is harder and finer than the Firpo who fought Dempsey. His left is still total dis count as 1t was then. But the right is deceptively fast and snappier, truer

 NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Ih an at- mosphere about as clear and limpid as mulligan stew; but not as salubrious, Luis Angelo F'irpo rumbIed through an hours exercise Thursday afternoon to show large deputation of prospective customers what sort of fighter they will see in combat with Harry Wills one week hence, if they care to pay a visit and the price. Yf Y
 In his panic over the deportation pro- ceedings against him and the possibil- ity of being shipped elsewhere before he could collect his end of the purse, Luis Angelo freighted himself down to New York to be near his expensive lawyers, and closed his open air training lazar- cite at Saratoga Lake at least one week too early. This will make it necessary for him to do his polishing in the indoor gym on the upper floors of Madison Square Garden where the air always suggests the atmosphere of a telephone booth in which someone has been board ing q billy goat, gila monster or some other household pet of violent flavor. Inexperienced customers visiting the gym to watch the fifty or more journey men fighters who train there every day, are admonished to bring gas masks, but those who have been going there long time become inured to the thickness of the air and learn to chew it, thoroughly before inhaling. %
 Stuffy Interior
 William Muldoon and other subscrib- CTS to the open air theory of training might warn Luis Angelo that ten min utes of toll in such surroundings would corrode the inner apparatus of a hardy

 Three players tied at 73 for third place at a, Frank Adams of Chicago and Harry Cooper of Dallas both shoot ing par, on the first nine and going one over on the second, while Jock Hendry of St. Paul, after taking 3S for the outward journey, came home in 35. Hendry, who reminded onlookers of Jack Dempsey, owing to his physique, might have scored under 70, due to his terrific drives and fine approaches, if he had not missed four. butts by a hair.
 Among six players who shared the score of "A for sixth place were Abe Espinosa of San Francisco, Craig Wood, Louisville; Julian Blanton, Chillicothe, O., and Harry Hampton of Canton, O. In this sextet also was Art Sweet, a Chicago amateur who was rnedalist in the recent western amateur champion ship.
 Chick Evans had tonbe content with the third score among. the amateurs, for, after bettering par, by one stroke, on the first nine, in spite of a heavy rain that caught him and his partner, Jock Hutchison, defending champion in the middle of that half, the former na- tional champion went four strokes above perfect figures on the inside nine and took 40 for 75. } This score was equalled by Toe Diegel of Washington

CANON CHASE
 @ HAS EVIDENCE
Rickard Can Get Deportation In-
 junction To Assure Bout

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.ACanon Will liam Sheafe Chase, the elderly New York minister, who is trying to rush Luis Angel Firpo out of the United States in time to avert the Firpo-Wills fight on September II, came bustling back to New York from Washington Thursday and presented several tele- grams as evidence that Firpo lied on his oath when he gained admittance to this country in July.
 The inquiry will now make speed and if the evidence is convincing to Henry H. Curran, the immigration commis- sioner in command at Ellis Island, Firpo may be ordered deported before September Il. In that case, however, Tex Rickard probably would engineer an appeal to deportation board of in- quiry on Firpo's behalf and ask for an injunction forbidding the deportation until the decision of the appeal.
