PEBBLE BEACH, Calf, September
THE amateur golfing capital Of the

quished by Bobby Jones when the fa-
vorite son of Dixie was uncerimoni-
ously eliminated in the first round by
Johnny Goodman of Omaha.
The 33-year-old st. Paul investment

catch the fancy of the crowd, rallied
after a bad start to overhaul and beat

Except for the gallant fighting spirit
manifest by both contestants right up
to the finishing stroke on the thirty
third green, where Johnston got the
half that clinched the issue, the brand
of golf was not up to championship
standard as it has come to be exem-
plified by ex-emperor Jones, but the
attitude of the gallery toward the ro-
bust Oregonian was as remarkable as
anything ever witnessed in 80 years OF
competition for the amateur crown.
In spite of the fact that DR.. Willing

Johnston throughout and gave him a
tremendous ovation at the finish.
The contrast between the bareheaded
Jimmy and the portly, somewhat sour
looking dentist may have had some in

younger. for Willing is a campaigner
of 80 and Jimmy" was the underdog
for the first half of the match. Further
more, the doctors known disinclina-

disfavor among the spectators, a num-

that, too, appeared a factor in the
unusual partisanship TO the jostling
jam.

Whatever it was, the match witnessed
a startling outburst of cheers at the

NEW YORK, September IA big
Seven-passenger monoplane, equipped
with pontoons, swooping out of the fog
which veiled the sea at Coney Island
late this afternoon, skipped from wave
to wave smong bathers of shore and
charged up on the crowded beach,
moving down more than a dozen per-
sons before turning over. Two children
were killed and a dozen or more persons
were injured.
The dead are:
Mildred Jacowsky. 8. and Myer Kess-

Rubi scalp wound. The last-named
are all from Brooklyn.
The plane, a n-paSsenger Fair
child II, equipped with 425-horse-
power Wasp motor, left Albany at 2:45
pm. Late in the afternoon its pilot
landed the six passengers he was carry
ing at North Beach, Astoria, Queens
and set out alone for Mill Basin,
Jamaica Bay.
Landed Passengers Safely.
When he started from Albany Alex
ander was carrying fuel which would
last him, he estimated, As minutes
longer than the trip normally would
take. He had encountered no unfayor-
able weather until he, crossed the East
River toward North Beach, when Wisps
of fog began to obscure his vision.
Alexander landed his passengers with
out difficulty and started for Jamaica
Bay. The fog, he said. became more
dense as he advanced and finally cut oil
his view entirely. When break in the
mist came, he was aStoniShed to ois-'
cover that he was south OF Ambrose
lightship. His engine began to miss and
the indicator showed that his fuel sup
ply was almost exhausted.
With the fog still too thick 10 eaten

der headed due north. His gasoline was
about gone. he figured, when a hole
opened in the fog, showing water be-
meath. Thinking he had reached ia
maica Bay, Alexander dipped the nose
of his craft and started down.
When at an altitude of only few
hundred feet he was Mortified to dis
cover that he was heading for one CT
the most crowded areas Of the Coney
Island Beach and was less than 500
feet from shore. His plane was throt-
tied down to SIS miles an hour,
he said, the lowest speed at which IT
would keep the air, and it was out OF
the question to attempt to rise again
in time to clear the beach,
The spot for which he was headed is
near the foot of West Eighth street.
