GENE SARAZEN
 IS ELIMINATED
Several Favorites Lose Out In National Pro Tourney

FRENCH LICK, Ind, Sept. IT, There will be a new champion of the national professional golfers this year, for Gene Sarazen of New York, who has held the title for two years, was match play in the championship con- day by Larry Nabholtz, a young profes- sional from Lima, o. He outplayed the champion much of the way.
 Another surprise was the spectacular defeat of Bob Cruickshank of New York, runner-up for the national open title to Bobby Jones. Cruickchank had shot splendid all during the tournament and today led his opponet, Ray Derr of Philadelphia, all the way, finally gain ing an advantage of four up and five to play. It was then that the tall youth from the Quaker City finally as. sured himself with brilliancy after hay. ing held on doggedly for 31 holes. Bobby continued to play par golf but Derr reeled off a birdie four and four threes in row, the threes being an eagle and two birdies, to square the match on the Beth green.
 Going into the extra hole, both played well to the green and it looked like a half in par four until Robbie, evidently perturbed by the terrific change in his fortunes, missed a short putt and the match.
 This was the only match to reach the final green and one contest became SC one-sided that it ended on the 27th green where Jim Barnes of New York former national open title holder, had gained lead of ten up on Eddie Towne of Ben Avon, Pa.
 Walter Hagen of New York, British open champion, threatened for a time to furnish another surprise as al Watrous held him even for IS holes. Hagen, however, began to reel off q string of fours on the home stretch that could not be overcome and he de feated the Grand Rapids player foul and three. As a result of his victory Hagen tomorrow will play John Farrel of New York, who fought an uphill bu successful match with Willie McFar lin, finally winning 3 and l in a burs of speed.
 Deer, by defeating Cruickshank in B holes, won the right to contest the thirt round tomorrow with Al Espanosa, thu sole Chicago contender remaining Espanosa had little difficulty today il overcoming Francis Gallett of New York, getting lead of three up on tn, first nine and maintaining an advantage through the first round He gained an other hole without extending himsel on the third nine and kept this lead t, the 33d green, where he became winner four and three.
 Nabholtz, as result of his ability t, eliminate the champion, brought him self face to face with another Latil golfer, Henry Ciuci of New York, wh succeeded in defeating Dan Williams O New York only by q fine display of gol in the final nine holes. Turning int the last lay one down Ciuci unleashed grand of golf that was unbeatable, win ming five of the next seven holes an gaining the match. four and two.
 Barnes will play Emmett French O Youngstown, Ohio, who had considerabl difficulty in disposing of Mortie Datri of Aberdeen, Washington.

The Hueytown Gophers are down to hard work this week and care getting into trim for their hard schedule, which | includes games with some of the more important elevens of the northern sec | ton of the state.

CHICKS COP PENNANT
 AS MGREW PITCHES
Atlanta Dies Fighting By Licking Barons. But
 Cause Is Hopeless Score, 13 To7

The Crackers passed out fighting here today. The gallant crew of Bert Nie- hoff's died with their boots on, as the wild west movie hero would have said it. They walloped the Barons 13 to z Wednesday at Redwood.
 The Chicks victory over Nashville in Memphis cinched the pennant for Johnny Dobbs and ended a brilliant their attempt to win the pennant from Memphis. The Crackers for the past three weeks have been going like a whirlwind in their attempt to over- come the Chickasaw lead and to the last never gave in, although hope seemed meagre from the start.
 On the other hand the Barons con- tinue to lose. Few fans take enough interest in such matters to compute just the exact number that the Birming- ham Baseball rabble has lost in a row but it must be near the dozen mark. The Crackers leave no doubt as to their ability to win their games here. They take them by big margins. Back in the days when q loss would have amounted to something to Stewards clan, 13 would have been dubbed an unlucky number for them, since the Crackers have beaten them the score of 13 for the past two days.
 The Crackers made no bones about starting their attack and counted twice in the first frame. In the fourth they scored one but in the fifth seven Crack CTS came across the platter In the sixth there were two more and the last in the ninth.
 Clarke and Good were hit without mercy as the Cracker sluggers got down to work. Peterson hurled for the Crackers and allowed. quite few hits but they were of little consequence with Atlanta holding commanding lead.

AMATEUR GOLF
 MEET SATURDAY z
Cyril Tolley, British Star, To Enter National Ann
 ateur Tournament

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.-Ambi- tious amateur golfers seeped into Phil adelphia from all directions Wednesday joining the home guard and the ad- vance delegation of British players al- ready on the ground for the National Amateur tournament which begins with the first note of the alarm clock next Saturday morning and will run until Saturday, the 27th.
 The weather was rainy but that did not completely souse the curiosity of some of the players who wanted to ex- plore the Merton championship course and learn the worst about the griefs which they must encounter when play gets under way. The English team, by no means wobbly from the defeat in the International Walker cup matches at Garden City, l.. l., last week, came to Philadelphia early, in a group and got in theiR first practice Tuesday.
 ToIley To Compete
 Cyril Tolley, the huge captain of the Britons, man who slams the ball with the ardor of a Babe Ruth, and Major Hezlet, another large party from the wonder brink of the Atlantic, are the most threatening athletes in the alien squad, but driving power alone will not win on the Merion course which is fringed with deep-tangled rough country and requires restraint of driving in some areas.
 Although q tournament involving as this one does, 166 starters and squad of 32 qualifiers, is bound to be a great bag affair. Bobby Jones of Atlanta is the one player who is mentioned more often than all the others as the prob able winner. Jones came to Merton when he was only IA years old and be came famous by going into the thirt round of the national amateur. Thai was the last time the championship show was held at Merion. Since then Jones has held the national open titlt for year but he has never won tht amateur.

JOHNSON WINS
 18TH STRAIGHT
Senators And Yankees Battling , With Odds About Even

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-While rain kept all National league clubs idle to- day, the Yankees again went into a tie for first place in the American with Washington by taking two games from St. Louis while the Senators won one from Cleveland. Detroit lost to Philadelphia and is six games behind. Odds are even in the battle down the stretch between the two leaders in the American. Each has Il contests to play all away from home. The Yan- kees have an edge in experience in a gruelling finish but the Senators are fired with an ambition to win the first pennant for Walter Johnson and the National capital. The veteran twirler won his 18th straight victory today. As result of the enforced idle ness, the Giants continue to lead the Robins by one and one-half games and Pittsburg by two and one-half. Double headers will be played by the three contesting teams tomorrow but Pitts burg, whose postponed battle with Phil adelphia today cannot be played off, definitely lost the opportunity to pick up half game on it's rivals.
 The standing of the contending clubs follow:

OLE MISS CLAN
 IN THIRD WEEK Backfield Looks Strong, But Line Is Rather
 Weak

UNIVERSITY, Miss, Sept. IT, Especial. )-Captain Claude Smithson led his Red and Blue grid squad have started into the third week of pre-sea- son practice with continuation of the work begun during the proceeding week. end. While Coach Barnes did not scrimmage his men hard today, he in- dicated that harder work would soon follow.
 A rain, the first of the football sea- son, fell all day Saturday, and the gridders got their first day of rest from outdoor work. The mentors used the afternoon for "skull" drill and demon stration of plays.
 Emphasis will be put on signal drill in the coming week, and with this an- nouncement comes renewed interest in the question of who will play quarter for the "Ole Miss" eleven this autumn. Four men have been used to call the numbers in the practices, and it is just vet problematicaI as to who will run the team when the season is begun against the Jonesboro Aggies. Hoff, half of last season, Hewes, Reid, fresh have all been employed as quarters dur lUk tuC kduCS. 1hCy udtC UCCA tnc signal callers for the four teams Bar nard has lined up for practice. F Numerous Ends
 Candidates for end are the most num- erous, of the contenders. Martin, var sity half, Leftwich, varsity end, Sim mons, end with Mississippi college in '22, Windham, reserve of last season, Woods, frosh end, and Johnnie Davis varsity end, are among the most prom. ising candidates for the terminal posi- tions.
 Barnard is facing his greatest prob lem in the line, and with the heaviest veterans of last season still absent the situation looks rather serious. A light line with a good backfield is not sched- uled to be an awful strong combination and Barnard is using all his coaching genius to add strength to his defense The line question, ever a problem with Ole Miss coaches, thus bids fair to again menace the chances of success.
 The case of the backfield is much more hopeful, and the Mississippi of fense will be good, just how good the games alone will tell. A number of experienced men from former seasons dIc uIdhllIS StIOu5 OAuo AOh uAA OoSh field berths.
 Large Number Out
 The number of candidates is larger than ever, an encouraging sign. The team must come as a matter of devel- opment, and whatever success it attains will depend much upon the ability of Barnard and the spirit of the players.
 The roll of those now in camp for the varsity includes the following back field mem Captain Smithson, Mills Van Martin, Lacey Biles, Charlie Al len, Jimmie rotten, Ed Reid, Dooley Akin, Art Hoff, and Gaston Newes.
 Line candidates include the follow ing: Howard 'Gober. O. R.. Smith Carl Coers. Robert Davis, o. L. Berry Alton Perkins, D. L. Simmons, Ferre and Sid Johnson.
