ANN ARBOR, Aug. More than

While the demand on the part Of

/. GARDEN CITY, Long Island,
Aug. with A. L. Houghton, of
Washington, and Dick Walsh, of
New York engaged in one OK tfose
well-known star attractions, affairs
in the fourth annual public links
tournament advanced into the final
stages to-day. Walsh is figured to
beat Houghton, though he will have
to shoot par or better to do it,
Judging from the way the Washing
ton star was putting them in the
cup in his first two matches. Walsh
is former public lings champion.
Eddie Frost !. and. Bill MCGUIRE
failed to last through their first
round matches. Frost lost his game
entirely and was lucky not to be
beaten by more dcisive- score than
5 and 4. He was out in 46, and
back in the same. MCGUIRE shot
exact par, but his man was unruly
and came back in three under par.
Houghton had three brides in
each round. He seemed to recall
that noble 20 which he shot the
first time around the course, and he
played well up to that standard.
There will be two rounds of match
play today, with the 36-hole finals
scheduled for tomorrow.
GARDEN CITY, N. ", Aug. T.
Greeted by the first favorable
weather in the last. three days, the
depleted field OF eight went into
the third round of the national
public links championship at the
Salisbury Country Club this. morn
ing, with the semi-finals scheduled
for later in the day. The favorable
conditions forecast a continuance
of the sensational play that has
featured the tourney, medal scores
of ~ and 70 being mere incidents.
Those remaining in the cham
pionship at the start OF the round
were Dick Walsh, New York, 1923
champion; Raymond McAuliffe, Buff
falo. who made an amateur course
record of 20 on Tuesday; John j.
Wall, Spokane, winner over the
medalist, Nelson Davies: William
Washington; e. b. Lloyd, Chicago;
William Courtney, Detroit, and Carl

One Of the best matches OF the
round brought together McAuliffe

made an excellent score in the
qualifying round. The remaining
matches were: Walsh VS.. Hough-

JOHNSON SURE

Declares Either american
League Contender Can De-
. feat National Leaguers

NEW YORK, Aug. ban
johnson, president Of the American
League, is enthusiastic about the
hot fight being waged between
the washington world champions
and the Philadelphia Athletics, and
is confident that either team can
defeat the National league title
holders in the coming world series
Johnson is here in the interests
of sandlot baseball and will go
from here to Washington.
AS president OF the league he
would venture no opinion regard
ing the result OF tne race. He
spoke of the fine all-around
strength Of the washington club
and of the splendid pitching staff
of Connie Mack's team.
.'Bucky Harris IS one Of the
wonders of baseball, /" was John.
sons tribute to the youthful Wash
ington leader. HE is one Of the
best managers in the game, a
good player and a fine fellow,
personally"
The nearest estimate he would
make of the league race was to
say that, generally, a team Of vet
Grams should be steadier in
long, gruelling race. He also was
of the opinion that Eddie Collins
might bring his White Sox up
in time to make a triple dash
down the home stretch.

FORE!
= AND AFTER
BY ROSS cONKLIN-

Many interesting items are be-
ing recalled about Al Houghton
Washington's lone representative
in the latter stages of the public
links tournament at Garden City
Among them is the fact that AL
was formerly a caddie for Presi-
dent Wilson at Bannockburn. AL
still claims to have the first dime
tip that the War President gave
him.
Houghton, contrary to general
opinion, is a thoroughly experienced
golfer. He has worked at making
clubs, and he has taught golf. He
knows the game inside and out,
and when he is right he will come
close to beating any one he plays.
His record here in the invita-
tiOn tournaments is impressive.
In the two tournaments he has
played in he qualified i'm one. at
Columbia. he won his flight. In
the latter tournament, he struck
Snag in qualifying and his score
placed him i'm the third flight. He
went through classy opposition
with full sails. The year before
he had also won the third flight
at Columbia.
The District boys who went to
Garden City are taking great care
OF, their last man. Bill MCGUIRE,
loyal and determined. has taken
Al in tow. A telegram from Hough-
ton said that the boys were forcing
him to stay in his hotel They
gave him rundown after his
matches, and they formed an unfall-
ing gallery to cheer him up in his
matches. Eddie Frost, Mcclure,
Cox and Shorey have determined
that they will leave nothing un.
Gone that might insure Houghton's
victory.
Listen to Houghton if you would
know how he was going in his
matches. II eliminated two men,
but I had to shoot two 1873 to do
it: Three brides in the morning,
and three more in the afternoon
helped me put them down. Play
ing steady golf and have no fears
for the future. The boys are cheer
ing me up, and they are taking
care of me like I was a long lost
child"
In McGuire's match with Serrick,
the Washington Irishman, now sales
manager for an automobile con-
cer4, shot just one over par and he
lost, and 3. That means that his
opponent was shooting four strokes
beneath par and snar kind of golf
will win almost any old title. But
1t can't be kept up.
Houghton played Rock Creek just
a day before he left for Garden
City. George Diffenbaugh. assist
ant professional, played with him,
and George found Al slicing. He
cave him a tip an how to stop it,
aud AIS game since has shown that
he took seriously the advice. .....
The Washington times., 1925-08-07

The Twin attraction drew some
Is 900 fans, who got plenty for
their jack. Both games were dotted
with fancy stuff. Sam Rice went
out against the right-field barrier
and hauled down Red Hargrave's
liner with his gloved hand. That
was perhaps the days greatest
fielding achievement, but Earl
McNeely romped around the garden
like a Ieaping gazelle, sharing
everything with the grace Of a
Russian dancer.
Greatly to the joy Of the big at
tendance, Joe Judge hoped into
the limelight with some solid clouts
in the second game. He got a
double and two singles, scoring two
runs and driving in three others.
Joe is a popular bird around here,
and his slump has worried his
friends. Therefore, they rose in
mighty chorus of salutation when
he came to life against Davis and
Danforth.
BuIIet Joe Bush lasted four
innings i'm the first game. The
Champions got all their taIIies
off his stuff-yes, and all their
hits. too-fOr Ernie Wingard held
them helpless during the last
four frames.
The second game witnessed the
downfall and utter rout OF Dixie
Davis and Dave Danforth. They
have been effective against the
Champions in the past, and so re.
venge was sweet.
Dutch Ruether gave the Browns
eight hits and four runs in the
opening skirmish. He was a trifle
wild, not enough to hurt, but
enough to cause Bucky Harris to
insert that marvellous relief finger,
Fred Marberry, with one out and
two on and one run to tie in the
ninth. Marberry forced LaMette
and Sisler to hoist flies and
Ruether's victory went into the
books.
Walter Johnson, not as impressive
as on Sunday and yet effective
withal, had a soft time OF 1t in the
second game after the sixth. In
that session the Griffs fell upon
DlXlS DdVlS lot TWO SlLSlSS anu
two doubles and three runs. Davis
was yanked in the seventh after
hitting McNeely and passing Har
ris, leaving the field amid a chorus
of shrieks and jeers. ...,...
Dandy Dave DanfOrth came in
and ran right into a storm. A
pass, two singles and double,
with Sisters, wild heaVe as a
chaser, allowed five runs to cross
the pan and stifle all hope of
st. Louis triumph.
Two walks and two hits gave
the Browns two runs in the Sec
ond frame against Ruether, but
the Griffs were tapping Bush hard
and had five runs checked up
when Wingard came along in the
fifth. 'Tis well, for the left
handler was stingy bloke. Not
a hit or a run came off his
stuff.
