Birmingham Golfers Make Good Showing In
 # F. Invitation Links Tournament

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 7.- Especial Leased Wire. )--Glenn Cris- man, of Selma, repeated his 1923 tri- umph in the annual Montgomery Coun- try club invitation tournament and won the meeting this afternoon when he de- feated Files Crenshaw, of Montgomery, southern intercollegiste champion, 3 to 1 in the finals of the first flight. The led led the tournament from the first day when he climbed on top of pile of 167 golfers to win the low quaifying medal with 72, one stroke above par for the course. He swept through the meeting defeating E. W. Pettus, fei- low townsman, in the first round !; Johnnie Green, of Atlanta, who had qualified with n, in the second round; Jack Crenshaw, brother or Files and himself, a former southern col legiate champion, in the third round, and Files Crenshaw in the finals.
 His victories have all been rather easy, ,Pettus carried him to the six teenth hole Green went by the boards 8 and z; Jack, Crenshaw fell and D and Files was dormie at the sixteenth tee.
 Plays Par Golf
 In repeating histriumph the boy has been near par all the time and shot l under perfect figures to defeat the local player on the last nine holes. He had waved going, out, being afflicted with that indefinable malady which puts q player on the ragged edge of his game without seriously affecting any de- partment.
 In the first nine holes of the after noon round CrismaT was clearly hold ing on by will power. He was out driven from most of the tees and Cfen- shaw invariably was inside on the ap- breaches. He, however, had fine break on the seventh when Crenshaw failed to sink n putt and from there in he steadied himself greatly.
 Half First Four
 The men halyed the first four holes and Crenshaw got the break. on the fifth when, after a smothered drive, he laid an iron dead to the pin with Cris- manu lover to the right. Files missed a rather short putt but Crisman was playing his worst game on the greens and took two strokes after he tlabbed an approach.
 The advantage was fnofnentary, how- ever, ,aas CFenshaW drove out oL DOuIlas on the gun barrel sixth gahd took five strokes to a par for the winner This hole resulted In the men turning the ninth all even in holes won but Crisman leading in medal score by one stroke.
 A bad break on the seventh green allowed Crisman to halve the hole, and Files won the eighth with par 4. He missed a short putt on the ninth to lose the hole to 3 and he never had a chance after that putt as Crisman discarded his cratic play. and settled into the form which is making him one of the coming young golfers of the south. Crisman took the eleventh and was never headed thereafter. He in- creased his lead on the fourteenth and fifteenth and had the match in his bag going to the sixteenth tee. Crenshaw rallied here to take the sixteenth, but the Selma prodigy pinned a tee shot from the seventeenth tee and won the hole and match and 1.

SOUTH'S GOLF 4 | sM
 MEET MONDAY Crisman Paired With Baugh In Qualify
 ing Round

LOUISVILLE, Ky, June The advance guard of golf stars began to ; arrive tonight in preparation for the opening at the Louisville Country club ; Monday of the 1924 southern amateur championship tournament. An attend ance of 300 was expected. Monday will be devoted to receiving and ar ranging entries and play in the quali- flying round of IS holes will begin Tues day. -
 Perry Adair, who won the champion-, [, ship at Birmingham last spring, will: arrive Sunday heading a delegation of, 40 amateurs from Atlanta. Under a recent ruling of the Southern Golf as sociation, Adair will not be compelled to play in the qualifying round. He is fellow townsman of Bobby Jones' Jones will not play in the southern amateur this year partly because of the strain of the recent national open, in : which he was defeated by Cyril Walker.
 Although Georgia expects Adair toT repeat, Tennessee's invaders, led by Frank Dyer, winner of the 1923 Metro politan amateur, are full of confidence.
 From Alabama comes Glen Cris- mann, the 19-year-old sensation of Montgomery, who was medalist ot the 1928 event He is paired with another stripling, Bobby Baugh, Jr,, of Bir- mingham.
 Kentucky pins her hope on Jok~ Marshall, Jr., Chris Brinke, veteran of two southern journeys and former conquerer of Adair and Ted Ottman, present city champion of Louisville. S
 Frank Godchaux, runner-up to-, Adair last year, carries the hopes of, Louisiana. Reputed the most powerc. full driver in all Dixie, the stalwart Vanderbilt graduates come strongly backed.
 There will be six flights with 90 qualifying. The lowest sixteen will comprise the championship flight and the remainder divided into five minor flights, with suitable tropics to the winners.

 gest Event Of Month

The 50-target match of the Birming- ham Gun club when finished found three men tied for high gun. They were H. 0. Ryding, R. c. Osbon and Dr. Frank Nabers. Each of these men went out with 48 each. Second place was also a tie between B. E. Strader and John Fletcher, with 47 each. The 1O0-target proved to be a win for John Fletcher, who broke 96 out of his 100. Second place went to B. E. Strader, with the score of 05, while third place went to R. c. Osbon with 94 breaks out of his 100.
 There were three men tied on the second trophy. They were J. J. Grimes, George W. Corners and J. F. Dovel. Mir. Grimes left the shOot-off to Mir. Dovel and MT. Corners. It resulted in Mir. Dovel winning the trophy. MT. DOvel, however, was not satisfied with only the one win and showed that he had nerve when he had to shoot off the third time on the doubles to cop the prize, but was equal to the occasion when he shot R. 0. Osbon out on the doubles and copped the prize for high man on the doubles.
 Thornton Estes shot only 50 and DEOAG tAAG uuOoL OA tHchus .Os Os ONAS"S shot very consistently on both traps. Strader was smoking them out as usual. l.. l.. Stephenson shot 25 targets, the first since he got out of the hospital. He demonstrated that he had not for gotten how to use a scatter gun, as he only let two targets get away from him.

played the nerviest game of the tour nament against Files Crenshaw in the semi-finalse when he lost up after going to the sixteenth tee dormie. The Magic City. player was completely cool and declared as he dubbed drive from the sixteenth into an apparent defeat that the match would not be won until the final green. He was given the six .teenth by Crenshaw, who sliced a bras- sic out of bounds on his second and did little better with another bell, bringing up in a muddy ditch to the short right. Locke took heart here and won the hole in five. He was considerably lucky on the seventeenth as his tee shot hit a chocolate drop bunker to the left of the green and bounded well on.
 The Birmingham boy was sighting his every shot and only needed com pass and level to make them more per feet. He was as cool as the day was hot, failing to press sen single shot.
 Wins Seventeenth
 Taking the seventeenth with "a par 3 he tried hard to square the match with a birdie on the home hole and missed only by inches when be attempted to negotiate a half stimie. His drive was the longest of the tournament, carry ing almost to a transverse road His approach dropped 10 feet aHay and his effort for the putt brought the heartiest round of cheers from the spec tators.
 Another Birmingham player, Ike Os- bun, had lost a hard match in the sec |ond round when Jack Crenshaw played an eagle 3 on the nineteenth to win. The tournament has been the most successful in the history of the club, being attended by 167 golfers from four states.

French Action After Pact
Signing Affects Satellites
of Strassburg.

''Offenburg and Appenweier, evacu-
ated by French troops the day foflvw-
ing the signing of the financial agree
ment between Germany and the allies,
though over the line in Baden, Germany.
are really small town satellites of
Strassburg, capital of Alsace, France"
says a bulletin from the Washington
headquarters of the National Geo.
graphic Society.
Neither town is more than 10 miles
from the French CITY," continues the
bulletin, land they are even closer by
several miles to the Franco-German
frontier, which extends approximately
north and south in this region
Vulnerable From Strasbourg.
"Parallelng the frontier is an i'm
portant German trunk line of railway
extending from Bern and other Swiss
cities through Karlsruhe and Frankfort
and on to Poland. This line passes
through Offenburg and AppenWeier,
both of which are junction points.
1t was because of interference by
Germans with the traffic on this impor-
tant railroad that the French marched
out from Strassburg MORE than a year
ago and seized the little towns. They
were so yulnera BILE from the French
stronghold that the operation was only
a matter of a few hours.
"Appenweier is village of less than
1000 inha bitants and owes its impor-
tance entirely to the fact that the short
branch line to Strassburg joins the
main line there. Offenburg, however,
reaches the dignity Of town having a
population of more than $1,000 and a
history of its own. 1t is busy little
community, with numerous factories
turning out cotton goods. tobacco prod
ucts, machines and stained glass.
Once Razed by French.
"Offenburg has been town for 700
years. For several hundred years it
was free imperial city, but gave up
that status in 1902 TO become a part of
Baden. The year 1928 was not the first
time the town had felt the exercise of
French military power. 1t was de-
stroyed by the French in 1852 Earlier,
in 1852. it was taken by the Swedes.
''Offenburg lies near the edge Of the
Black Forest and is one of the chief
rail gateWays to that German play
