NORFOLK, Va, June 30.--Wash.
ington golfers continue to hold the
limelight in the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association amateur tourna-
ment here today. George Voigt. de-
tending champion, and A. L. Hough-
ton, Of Manor Club, and Page Hufty,
Congressional Country Club, are the
Washingtonians in the semifinal
round today.
voigt is paired with Page Hufty
in the upper bracket of the semi
final round, while Houghton will
play against II. H. Hume, OF the
! Princess Anne Club, in the lower
bracket.
VOigt reached the semi-fi
round through easy victories
over Lawrence Wrenn, of the
Norfolk Country Club, and Miller
B. STEVENSON, of the Columbia
Country Club.
Hufty eliminated N. H. Bundy,
former club champion here, in the
morning, and then disposed of
Charles Mackall, Of Chevy Chase, in
the afternoon.
Houghton came through to the
semi-final by virtue Of victories over
Walter r. McCallum, Of Washing
ton, and John McMenanmin.
Houghton and Voigt are favored
to win their matches in the semi
finals, although Hufty performed
well in his winning fight with
Mackall. Houghton is playing the
best golf in the tournament and
seems capable of continuing the
pace.
Houghton was dormie four when
McCallum started squirt that left
him one down at the eighteenth.
McCallum hooked his drive into
the rough, leaving him long Sec
ond shot over heavily trapped
terrain. He crossed the green and
failed to return on his third.
HoughtOn drove straight down
the middle, placed his second
well on the green and went
down in two puts for a four,
giving him II for the round
and the best score ever shot at
the local course by an anna
teur. Walter Beckett, the club
professional, set record Of So
last Sunday.
Voigt and Stevinson engaged in
thrilling fight, but Stevenson
cracked under the strain. He lost
his great opportunity at the fiji
teenth when Voigt's second was
short. STEVENSON sliced his iron,
and pitched his third into a trap.
He took six while Voigt went
down in par figures. Voigt ter.
minated the struggle on the island
sixteenth when his drive nestled
nicely upon the green while Stew
enson collapsed in a trap. Steve
took two more strokes to reach
the green and that ended the
struggle.
A missed 12-inch putt on the
seventeenth spelled the downfall
Of Mackall. One down there he
had the advantage with beauti-
full iron shot to the green. His
first putt was short and he missed
his four by fraction of an inch,
giving him half with Hufty.
They halved the eighteenth with
fours.

OLD QUINN
BY Louis A. Dougher

Lizzie Iisenbee, % and Jack
Quinn, 43, are likely to be the
opposing hurlers today at the Grit
Griffmen attempt to strengthen
their grip upon second place by
handing the AS another sock on
the jaw. It will be veritably a
battle between youth and lettering
age when Lisenbee runs up against
Quinn.
Lisenbee humbled the Mackmen
in Shfbe Park last week, holding
them to six scattered hits, and his
opponent that day was this same
old Jack Quinn. the venerable spit
baller. Up in Boston, Lisenbee
failed to impress, being belted rather
savagely by Bill Carrigan's boys
who scored five runs on twelve hits
in six innings. He complained Of a
sore tummy then but today he is
believed to have recovered entirely
and to be ready for another brilliant
exhibition.
Hollis Thurston's superior
flinging, backed by some timely
tapping on the part Of his
supporting cast, enabled the
Griffs to win the opening game
of the series, 5 to 3, and to
walk right up past the White
SOx and AS into second place.
Indeed, the As tumbIed down
into fourth place by their defeat
here.
The Griffs grabbed a couple of
runs in the opening session which
Rice started with a single to center.
Harris pounded a single down the
right field line and went to second
while Rice was hiking to third base.
Speaker famed, but Goslin's fly to
Simmons scored Rice and Judge
signaiized his return to action with
q brutal belt to right, scoring
Harris.
In the third the AS got a run
when Speakers muff put Boley on
second, Grove sacrificed and Bishop
flied to Speaker.
Ruel walked with one gone in the
fourth, reached second on Reeves
single to right and counted when
Thurston singled to left.
with two gone in the seventh
Harris walked and stole and
ambIed home on Speakers two

The going became a bit too rough
for the firing Thurston in the
eighth and, after the AS had

Marberry took up the job of stop

Lou Gehrig, one.time pupil of
Babe Ruth, no longer needs lessons
in the art of sociology, for he and
his former teacher are tied in home
runs today with a. apiece. Geh-
rigs feat is the more remarkable
because Professor Ruth is not far
behind his great 1921 record.
Gehfig got his twenty-fourth
against the Red Sox yesterday.
Seeing his lead endangered, Ruth
deserted the bench and played with
his lame knee strapped with tape.
He got four hits but was unable
to dent the bleachers.
George Pipgras, q rookie,
pitched for the Yankees and
held the SOx to three hits, win \
ming 8 to 2. It was New York's
fourth straight victory and BOs-
toms eleventh straight defeat,
and increased the YanlxS' lead
to 1915 games.
The Cardinals scored five runs in
the eighth and nosed out the
Pirates, 10 to 8. in ding-dong bat
tie, advancing to within half a
game Of the leaders. For the third
time in recent games between these
two smuggling outfits, eight pitchers
were used.
The Cubs kept within a game of
the Cards by beating the Reds in
the tenth, 2 to /. Carlson relieved
Osborn and got credit for his fourth
victory since joining the Bruins.
Scoring all their runs in two
