 Round Four-Firpo advanced on the Washington monument. He asked its exact dimensions, it's height and breadth, and humorously admitted the possibility of shaking it with his powerful right.
 Round Five-The sightseer stopped at Lincoln memorial. He stood im- pressed and silent amid the huge white doric columns. The names of the states attracted him. ...-

He recognized a statue of Frank lin as a familiar fgiure, but he missed on his history, when upon passing the picture of Commodore Perry in, the battle of Lake Erie he commented, "Ah, Admiral Franklin"
 Round Ten-Firpo reached the White House executive offices, arriving un. heralded. He was immediately rec. ognized by White House secret 'serv- ice men.

 There are those who deny this.

SECKEL PULLS UPSET
 BY CHECKING MANION
Johnston Meets l9l Champ In Finals Through
 Defeat Of Nudge

CHICAGO, July 25.-Albert Seckel of Chicago, title-holder in 1911, today eliminated James Manion of St. Louis, trans-M Mississippi champion, one up in the western amateur golf tournament at Hihsdale, and will play the final round tomorrow with H. R. Johnston of St. Paul, who defeated Burton Nudge of Chicago, by the same slender margin.
 Both matches displayed all varieties of golf from superior to bad and the contest see-sawed much of the way. The winners played the more consistent golf, but owing to lapses by both, they were not only overhauled at times, but Manion even got lead over Seckel in the second round only to lose it at the thirty-second hole.
 Medal Scores High
 The medal scoring was not particu- larly good and neither was 1t bad for semi-final rounds. Johnston. shot par 72 this morning but owing to couple of bad holes this afternoon, took an S1 for 153. Manion had the best total for 36 holes owing to his fine 34 on the third nine, giving him total of 77-75-- 152. Seckel took 76 strokes this morn ing and 77 this afternoon while Nudge after shooting a good "A this morning took 80 for the second round, making his total 154. Seckel got 24 holes in par and got four birdies, all of the lat. ter in the afternoon round. Manion shot IT holes in par and captured six birdies, two of them being twos. Johnston got par on 20 holes and was one under par on five, while Nudge shot par on g holes and got only two birdies.
 The better golf was played by John stor and Nudge the Minnesota cham pion scoring par 32 in spite of six on the, seventeenth while Nudge got a 74 being one over par on each nine. Johnston, by winning his first and sec ond holes, got the advantage and in creased it with a birdie two on the sixth only to lose the. entire lead in the next three holes where he got off the line with either his wood or the iron.
 Nudge Takes Lead
 Turning into the second nine, they halved the first two holes in par and then Nudge became one up for the only time during the forenoon by holing birdie four on the 450-yard twelfth, where Johnston got par in spite of having put his drive into a trap. Johnston soon squared affairs with a birdie three on the 360-yard fourteenth and took the lead again on the fifteenth where Nudge put his second out of bounds. The St. Paul star gave him self an added appetite for luncheon by holing a long putt for. birdie three
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-26

on the eighteenth and becoming two up.
 Seckel and Manion were both ragged at times, Manion showing a decided slump on the first nine where he took 40 strokes as against a B and a 32 yesterday in his victory over Chick Evans. Seckel had 3S on the first nine including a five or the twelfth yard sixth hole where he put two balls in the water. The second richotted on to the green or he might have had a seven.
 This squared the match, and the for mer champion won the next two holes in par as Manion continued his cratic play, and they turned into the second nine in that position after halving the ninth in par four
 They divided the tenth in perfect fours, and the eleventh with six each and both were lucky to get that Seckel pulled his drive into a trap against a mound, was barely out in two, dubbed a spoon shot and topped a mashie to the green. Manion, after q fair drive on this unfortunate hole, sliced his brassie to the tall grass and pulled ms mashle across the green, whence he took three more to get down. Seckel became three up when he got birdie on the fourteenth, but slipped back to his two-hole advantage when he mussed up the seventeenth for another six.
 Manion Equals Par
 The Chicagoan had an eight-foot putt for birdie three on the eighteenth but missed fl, and still had hi lead of two up at the end of the round having home in 3S, one over par including two sizes for 7G. Manion equalled par 37 on. the second nine by virtue of two birdies and totalled 77 for the round.
 A good sized gallery followed both matches for a time but when Manion failed to display the unbeatable golf he displayed yesterday most of the follow ing switched to the Johnson and Nudge affray where they saw better golf, The weather was ideal without any wind. 6 '

CULLMAN SPLITS WITH NASHVILLE

CULLAIAN, Ala, July 25.-Cnllman split two-game series with the Nash vile Independents on the home grounds here Thursday and Friday, the first game Thursday was uninteresting from the start and practically void of inter est throughout, the score being 12 to 0 in favor of Cullman.
 Todays game was a considerable change from the first, Nashville win ming by q score of tos2, the features of the game were the home run by Geb- |hardt of the Nashville team and the good fielding of Levy of Cullman. Gull man lost several opportunities to score winning runs, but were unable to con meet with Bogel's fast balls at the right time; however, the game was something .of a pitchers battle, both Bogel, for the Nashville crew, and Tutwiler, for Cullman, gave up five hits each. The teams were pretty evenly matched and the game was one of the best played on the home grounds this season.

GEORGIA PEACH WANTED TO BE STAR SURGEON

TORONTO, Ont, July B.
 Like the famous custard pie
 comedian, who would play Hamlet, Ty Cobb, the great man ager-player of the Detroit Tigers, who took the leadership of the American league from the Yank- ees Thursday, feels his life was mis- directed.
 If had my time over again I probably would be g surgeon in- stead of a baseball player" said Ty just before an exhibition game here Friday.
 Cobb was happy about the new position of the Tigers in the league standing, however.
 II am quite satisfied to stay as I am, and have only one sentimental regret" he said. That is the fact that I shall not have done any good to humanity when I retire. I sup pose everybody will have forgotten me in a few years time. Now, if I had been a surgeon"
 But, Cobb declared, if he had a son who lacked initiative, he would surely force him into baseball.

WASHINGTON, July 25. - Luis Angel Firpo may never win the heavy weight boxing title of the world, but he has won another, the sightseeing championship, in 10 hectic rounds.
 He annexed it here Friday, in a run taking a day off from his troubles with immigration authorities in New York. Racing about in long, blue diplomatic car, he saw more of the capital in half a day than the man from Main street does in a week.
 The Argentine heavyweight travelled light. When he stepped off of the train at Union station, and stretched his powerful legs. and arms, he carried no bag. He didn't even bring a clean collar. He wore a battered straw hat and an-uRpEessed -mohair suitss
 Oh, yes, his official interpreter was along, but wasn't needed. A frequently grunted "bon," which even the most lowbrow of police reporters who trailed in his wake could savvy, was about all that came from him as he went swiftly about his job of doing the capi- tai in q day. He was mode silent than President Coolidge, which is an- other thing.
 This is the way the battle proceeded {:
 Found One-Union station. He ad- vanced on the Argentine ambassador, Honorio Pueyrredon, who went down to meet the country's hero.
 General Pershing, he say Lafayette 1 am here,' the fighter said, in broken English. "Firpo, he say, Pueyrredon, I am here"
 A broad grin overspread his face.
 He stopped in the station to have his shoes shined. The young son of Africa finished a glistening veneer.
 'Ah, have shined you," the bootblack grinned up." But you shure will shine Wills"
 The negro had given the Argentine boxers hands the onceover.
 Round Two-Firpo went into. a dip- lomatic clinch at the embassy with the ambassador, fully explaining the re- cent immigration difficulty. He out pointed the ambassador, apparently, for Puerrydon posed with him, loaned him his car, and invited him back to luncheon.
 Round Three-Firpo advanced on the Pan-American building, and was taken on by Director Rowe, who left his affairs and showed the fighter fine place. The Argentine heavyweight wanted to know about Andrew Car

Answered Dy
 IRA COUCH
 Vestern junior amateur champion in 1898 and champion of Chicago district association in 1893.
 As
 A faulty grip and precipitation are the most common reasons to cause the club to slip. The tendency of the average player is to hold the club too tightly and upon hitting to release his grip. This Is especially noticeable in iron club play. To correct this fault grip the club firmly in the fingers but not so tightly as to cause the fingers to ache. Do not tighten your grip at the start of the backswing, but rather loosen it slightly in order to have the proper grip at the moment of impact, as 1t Is human nature to tighten the hold when striking anything.
 The average golfer plays with the old fashioned smooth leather grip and that alone is enough reason for the hands clipping. If you cannot afford to have the rough grips on your clubs get a file and roughen the old ones. I will guaran- tee this will help to frustrate the tend ency to have the club slip.
