LEAD IS THREATENED
American, However. Recov-

BIZ United Press
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, July, Ia.
Bobby Jones retained the lead in
the second round of the British
Open golf championship today with
u for the second eighteen, giving
him an aggregate 140 which puts
him two strokes ahead of the field.
Jones failed to keep abreast of the
sensational pace he set Wednesday
in the first round and needed 81
strokes for the first nine holes of to-
days round. He took 80 on the same
layout Wednesday when his total
was 68.
Bobby Perks Up
Jones recovered and was two I'M
der par on the trickiest half of the
historic st. Andrews old course. The
gallery, numbering at least 5000,
saw Bobbie exhibiting the same
brilliant golf that gave him advan-
tage on the first round Wednesday.
His puts were going down and his
approach shots we're finding the
green almost invariably.
The rise of B. Hodson robbed the
Albanian of some of his glory. The
20-year-old Tendey Club player had
80 to the turn-Jones' score of
Wednesday--and 10 for the round.
1t might eesily have been SO, but
a little girl got in the way on the
twelfth hole and spoiled his drive.
Tasmanian Blows Up
Len Nettlefold, the Tasmanian
whose II of Wednesday was next
best to Jones' So. blew up today and
brought in an 81, putting him back
with 1872.
Larry Nabholtz of Cleveland, was
eliminated from the championship
when he returned disastrous 81 for
total of 1853. Jim Barnes had
another rs today giving him total
of 1872
All of the golfers were playing
desperately in an effort to avoid
elimination, since the rules provide
that those fifteen or more strokes
back of the leader at conclusion of
today's round will be ineligible for
the final thirty-six holes Friday.
Tom Stevens Of California. the
first American to complete the sec
ond round, improved his standing
by shooting a par, 70. Coupled with
his rs of Wednesday the card gave
him a thirty six-hole total of 149.
Bill Mehlhorn and j. G.. Ander-
son, Americans, were virtually elm
mated. Melhorn had an 80 for the
second round, bringing his total to
157, while Anderson also took an
80 for an aggregate of 1863.

BIZ Cntted Press
NEW YORK, July 14.-Harry
Wills, the Harlem heavyweight, who
once was considered by many as
another Jack johnson and a seri-
Gus challenger for the champion
ship, was definitely a has-been to-
day and Paolino Uzcudun, the
Basque, was in line for promotion
because of his decisive defeat of
Wills in Wednesday nights fight at
Ebbets field in Brooklyn.
Paolino had never been rated too
highly, but the blow he landed to
the jaw in the fourth round of a
scheduled fifteen-round fight might
have knocked out better man than
Wills. 1t enhanced his reputation
as a slugger.
Wills dropped to the floor and
watched with dazed look while
the referee was giving the count.
At the count of nine he struggled
to an upright position, but Paolino
bounced upon him, sending the
heavy Negro sprawling against the
ropes. A left hook finished Wills.

HoWley being forced to call upon his
reserves in great numbers to present
something that resembled a big

Adams, who played utility roles
while Washington and New York

pressed into service at short, third
and second. He performed well in
the field but simply couldn't get
going at the bat.
There is nothing more difficult

months warming the bench. While
Adams hit the ball fairly we'll, he
just couldn't seem to get it safe.
In a series between st. Louis and
Chicago, Shortstop Peckinpaugh of
Chicago suffered a leg injury and
Manager Schalk sent Berg into the
game to take his place.
Adams gave him his first tough
chance and Berg came through
with a sensational play. A few
innings later he robbed Adams of
what looked like another sure hit.

 His wife, quartered in a bungalow 300 yards distant, pleaded with of ficers as they squared off for the at tack.
 After several spirited bursts the firing became desultory and there was no answer from the building Still the officers hesitated and finally decided to use dynamite.
 Mrs. Johnson protested that in the house with her husband was expen- sive furniture, pictures and jewelry. Five sticks of dynam te were thrown.
 House is Wrecked
 The front part of the house was wrecked and through the roof off cers climbed.
 Lights soon flooded the place, but Johnson was not to be found. Sheriff Walter Anderson led his men to the celler and from the darkness they were greeted by revolver fire. John- son, firing from the prone position was wild; one answering burst and the battle was ended. The man had two wounds in the right eye and leg.
 Many rumors as to the cause of Johnson's difference with the wom- en he killed were to be heard in the community of 500 today, but few persons knew more than that the man and younger woman had been acquainted before her marriage. Mrs. Bishops husband lost his life with the American army in France. A nine year old son survives her.
