Two games which will be played at Walnut Hill park tonight at 5:30 o'clock, will wind up the Industrial league season for 1929. The con- tests will bring r. & F. Corbin against Stanley Rule in the last game on the schedule while Landers will meet the American Paper Goods nine in another game, pos-- poned from some weeks agone.
 With Fafnirs in possession of the championship, a triple tie for second place might be the result of the games tonight. Stanley Works oc- cupies that position at the present time but victories for both Landers and Corbins tonight will place those positions on the same level with the Buttmakers.
 Losses for the American Pape" Goods and the Stanley Rule will keep these two teams tied for fourth place in the league.
 Whether these games will be play ed off or not remains to be seen Gs the Industrial Council in charge of the league meets.

GOLF SEARS IN
 WESTERN TOURNEY
Abe ESpinoSa'S Crown TotterS as
 Big Guns Let Loose

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 22 P- Golfdom's "big shots," aimed their guns on the already tottering west ern open throne of Abe Espinosa, sturdy little Chicago professional. as the second field sought qualify ing scores for the championship struggle over the Ozaukee Country club course today.
 Heading the array of title seek CTS were 10 internationally famous figures of golf-Walter Hagen, Hor- ton Smith, Tommy Armour, Wild Bill" Mehlhorn, Bobby Cruickshank, Gene Sarazen, Ed Dudley, Henry Ciuci, Jock Hutchinson, and the champions brother, Al Espinosa. who was defeated in the play-off for the 1929 national open crown by the one and only Bobby Jones.
 With any one of these stars apt to turn in record smashing golf and with the defending champion al ready six strokes behind because of the activities of the field which opened the tournament fight yester- day, a new champion was regarded as a certainty.
 Hagen, who decided late last night to enter the title battle, stood as the ranking favorite.
 For medalist honors, Hagen and the other entrants today had G9 to shoot at. Three golfers, Willard Hutchison, 26 years old assistant professional of the Lake Shore club at Glencoe, H., Leonard Schmutte, 23-year- old professional from Lima. Ohio, and Bob Macdonald, veteran Chicago golf teacher. turned in that score yesterday to lead the first field. But as par for the course is 70, indications were a 69 would not be low enough by night fall.
 The low 15O after yesterdays and today's 1S-hole round will play IS additional holes Friday. The low 64 and ties from the first 36 holes will play 36 more on Saturday for the title.

 Quarter-FinalS Of Tourney

Jasper Park, Alta, Aug. 22 P)| Five natives of Canadian golf links moved en masse on three Americans today as the uuarter-final round of the Canadian amateur championship got under way over the Jasper park golf course.
 Eddie Held, New York star, D. Clarke "Ducky" Corkran of Nobla, Pa, and Gardiner White of Nassau, Long Island, were the American threats to the Dominion crown. The five natives remaining in play were from all corners of Canada.
 By the luck of the draw, two of the American contestants, White and Corkran, were pitted against each other in the bottom bracket for the 36-hole contest today. Held, who is encountering Fred Noblitzel of Toronto today. is in the next pair ing above his American brethren and should Held come through, he is bound to meet either Corkran or White tomorrow
 Held. medallSt Tn the tournament escaped defeat yesterday by the narrowest of margins. He waJ fore ed to go to the 39th hole to elimi- nate M. w. Forrest, Massa achusetts lad from Lowell.
 Making the IS hole turn one down Held came to the 35th tee two down and two to go. He won those last two holes with a ruddy courage and finally came through to victory on the third extra hole by carding q four to Forests six.
 Jack Cuthbert of Edmonton, close by Jasper Park, gained his mod- cum of fame yesterday by defeating Cecil Coville of Vancouver Coville had defeated c. Ross Somerville, de- lending champion, in the first round and Cuthbert is thereby known as the man who beat the man who beat the champion. Cuthbert encounter ed Fred Wood, another Vancouver- ite, today, while Frank Thompson of Toronto was fighting it out with Gordon Williams of Calvary.

 Despite the splendid hurling of Lefty" Anderson the Smith team bowed before the Paradise park club. Anderson during the eight in- nings he twirled famed 13 of his opponents but his mates failed to of- fer him the support he deserved.
 The winners made nine hits off Lefty" but many of these should have been fielded and had they been handled properly the score would have been much different. The only players on the winning team who were able to solve Anderson's offer ings were Wojack and Heinzman. The former connected with a home run. a triple and a single while the latter gathered a couple of one base blows while he was tolling.
 The winners piled up a lead Of three runs in the second inning and added anOlneT lo tiliS toldl III 'hN second due chiefly to the lax field ing of the Smith outfit.

 Washington had little difficulty in pinning and overwhelming defeat on the Willow Brook contingent yester- day afternoon on Diamond No. 2 and at the end of the game, the Washington team had taken the game by a 23 to score.
 Willow Brook had no defense at all against the Washingtonian blasts from the bat and II errors were chalked up against the fielders al though there could have been many more. The winners got total of IS hits off the combined delivery of Lyons and Lennihan but these would never have been turned into runs, had the fielders given the pitchers any kind of help.
 Ecmail. pitching for the Washing ton team, had a rocky start but he soon started working in his usual form and the hitting of his mates and the numerous runs scored, easily gave him a margin of safety. The summary:
