Brewers Here for -Four Tits, With Twin Bill Sunday
Koupal Blanks Blues as Tribe Hits Honers

well-merited applause for the
achievement of Friday when they
shut out the K. C. Blues in the
series finale, 5 to o, and annexed the
series, three games to two.
1t was quite a contest for the
home fans to view. Attendance was
about $500 including women and
children admitted free Git being
ladies and kids day'C, and there
was no lack of roofing in apprecia-
ton Of the noble and unexpected
performance the Tribe staged.
Scatters Six Hits
Louis Koupal turned back the
hard-hitting Kawtown outfit with
six hits and he scattered 'em. He
was in real danger in only one
round, the seventh. when with none
out, Windy and Peters singled in
succession. linn lined to Russell
and Smith hit into a double play to
retire the side.
Koupal worked carefully and with
rare judgment and caution.
On the other hand, the Tribes
men bombarded Jimmy linn. one of

the leagues best hurlers, for eleven
hits. Holke, Layne and Florence
crashed home runs, Holke's coming
in the first inning with Russell on
ahead.
Unusual for linn
Layne and Florence delivered
their circuit pokes in the fourth.
Swatting three homers of linn is
something to cheer about. He was
not scored against after the fourth,
but the damage had been done and
Koupal put on pressure ard eased
through to gain a Shutout.
The Tribe loaded the bases with
none out in the seventh, but failed
to score. Matty was forced at the
plate and Holke bounced into a
double play.
Ralph Miller was at the plate
four times Friday and flied to Nc
Gowan on each occasion.
Layne's homer was inside the

CLEVELAND, Aug. 6.-Bill Ser
rick, New York's seasoned CAM
paigner, was a slight favorite to win
the national public links golf cham
pionship here today over thirty
six-hole stretch with Carl Kauff-
man of Pittsburgh.
No two players of the 1874 who
teed~off last Tuesday in the qualify
ing round could want the title more
than Serrick and Kaufman. Each
has tasted the victory of being o
f1nalist in the last six years. The
tournament has been staged and
both know what 1t means to lose
the title that is emblematic of SUI
premacy among the golfers of pub
lic-owned courses.
Former Runners
In 1925, Serrick was runner-up
to Ray McAuliffe of Buffalo when
the title was fought for at Sails
bury, Last year Kaufman played
second fiddle at Buffalo to 19-year-
old Lester Bolstad of Minneapolis
Serrick has entered every tourna-
ment since the Inauguration at To-
ledo, in 1922; Kaufman joined the
aspirants the following year.
Serrick earned the right to be a
flnalist by defeating Kendall Nor
rison, 20-year-old st. Joseph, Mo,
star, 5 and 4.
After spotting Bob Wingate of
Jacksonville, Fla, the first two holes,
Kaufman uncorked some sensa-
tional shots that put him two up
at the turn. He dropped one at
the tenth, recovered it at the elev-
enth, and hung on grimly until the
seventeenth, when the contest ended
Two Holes In One
Another title to be settled today
was the consolation flight for the
consolation fight for the defeated
sixteen in the first round. This
event was settled in an eighteen
hole encounter between Jimmy Nc
Auliffe of Buffalo and Frank Alff of
Kansas City, Mo.
David Ross Jr. of Brooklyn, N. Y,
captured the -quaIifiers' medal
Friday. Ross victory was aided con-
Siderably by hole In one, made in
an early round. Alff's victory in the
semi-finals Of the consolation con-
test also had an ace to help him.

Miss Dunn's
City Victory
Is Decisive
Elizabeth Plays Best Game
of Career in Tourney -
Finals Match.
BY DICK MILLER

Miss Elizabeth Dunn, champion
Indiana woman golfer, Friday sue
cessfully defended her Indian
apolis city title when she defeated
Mrs. B. c. Stevenson, Meridian
Hills Country Club, s up and 4 to
play.
Miss Dunn. Avalon Riverside,
ended the match on the fourteenth
hole at Coffin course when she sank
her putt for a par 4. The match
was the final Of the Indianapolis
Women's Golf Association annual
tournament.
Consistent Finalists
1t was the most smashing defeat
that Miss Dunn ever has handed
Mrs. Stevenson in their several finals
matches. Both have been con-
sistent flnalists in all womeuAn
tournaments of late in Indian

Coming on the heels OF the Indi-
ana State tournament, the result
was more of an upset than usual,
as Miss Dunn was able to win from
Mrs. Stevenson in that tournament
by only / up in nineteen holes OF
play.
Champ Spectacular
The champion played the most
spectacular round of golf the COZ
nm course ever has seen a woman
play, and 1t was the best of Miss
Dunn's career. HJr score for the
eighteen holes was 70. No accurate
records of women's scores at Coffin
are available, but 1t is believed this
is the lowest score a woman ever
has turned in there.
Makes Trick Shot
The pluck shown by Miss Dunn
in her recoveries was remarkable.
Once she was stymied by a tree.
Taking a Jigger from her bag, she
struck the ball left-handed (she is
a natural right-hander), and was
able to hole out in only one over
par. 1t seemed certain that she
would lose this hole before her re-
'markable shot was made.
Mrs. Stevenson was driving poor
ly and her brassie shots were far
below her usual play. Particulars
good work with the irons kept h -
in the running until the fourteenth
hole was played
Both finalists constantly thrilled
a large gallery with beautiful iron
shots. Fridays victory allows Miss
Dunn to retain both the Indianapo-
lis and Indiana women'S titles.

Percy Jones, who started his first
game for the Cubs since an opera
ton was performed on his arm early
in the season, proved himself a
""one-man bail team" by pitching
effectively to the Boston batters and
hitting safely each of the four times
he went to the plate. The Cubs beat
the Braves to and the victory
meant a lead of two full games in
the National League.
Meanwhile, Cy Williams of the
Phillies gave the Pirates a setback
by producing hit of each denomi-
nation in four times at bat. Will
liams' homer, triple, double and
single, were largely responsible for
Philadelphia's to 7 victory. The
Pirates came within one run of ty-
ing the score in the seventh when
they scored four times.
Jess Petty stepped into tight
place in the Cards game with
Brooklyn and held the champions
to one hit and no runs in the fourth
and one-third innings he pitched.
Petty enabled the Dodgers to main
tain their lead and they won to 2.
1t seemed to be the second di-
vision teams day" The Reds shut
out the Giants to 0. Luque al
lowed New York only five hits which
were well scattered.
Goslin started the fourth inning
at bat for Washington with a
single. When he came to bat the
next time in the same inning, he hit
home run. The Senators scored
ten times in that session and the
final score was Washington, IT; st.
Louis, 8. -Four Browns pitchers
worked.
The Tigers put up a hard fight to
take better than half Of the games
in their series with the Yankees, but
the latter triumphed, to 2, for an
even split in the series. Babe Ruth
NIT his 35th home run, putting him
within two of the total accumu-
lated by Lou Gehrig.
The White Sox series with Boston
ended with 4 to victory for the
Red sox. The Chicagoan's lone
tally was the third run they scored
during the entire series.

EXPLANATION OF RACE

III ONNIE MACK was believed
IL to have the best pitching
. staff in the American League
When the season opened. They
looked the best in the spring. It
was their failure to pitch winning
ball that. early ruined the chances
of Mack's club.
In the first 100 games of the
season, not single member of the
AS pitching staff was able to score
a shut-out victory.
The veteran Jack Quinn came
closest to such a feat by holding
Detroit runless for 8 and 1-3 in
nings.
After one was out in the ninth the
Tigers scored two runs.
