ESP|NOSA, WOOD.
PLAY OFF FOR
GOLF TITLE

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. IL.
AL Espinosa, Of Akron, Ohio, to-
day faced Craig Wood, of Deal,
N. j., for the National Match
Play Golf championship. They
were to play SO holes.
Espinosa defeated John Nc
Hugh, Of San Diego, 3 and 2, in
a 36-hole semifinal match, while
Wood eliminated Willie Hunter
of Los Angeles, 1 up. Extreme
cold weather and snow failed to
diminish the enthusiasm of the
galleries.
McHugh, who had beaten Olin
Dutra and William Schwartz,
was off form, while Espinosa
played easily and had a lead of
3 up at the end Of the first ID
holes.
Hunter Gives Battle
Hunter, led by Wood, 5 up, in
the morning, came back in the
final round to give Wood a close
battle.
McFIugh, who won the Califor-
MIA amateur championship four
times before turning professional,
had been a prime favorite to win
from ESpinosa, who played steady
golf to turn in a startling upset"
and today was favored to defeat
Wood for the first purse in the
$4,000 to be distributed among the
winners. Against McHugh, Es-
pinosa's approach shots were
spectacular.
Snow whipped the Lakeside
links as Hunter began an up
hill battle against Wood who
previously had eliminated Leo
Diegel. The former British anna
teur. titleholder, now a PROBES
sional, won the nineteenth hole
with an eagle three, and COM
pleted the third nine holes in a
Sub-par "a to cut Woods lead to
one up.
Dutra In Bed
Hunter squared the match at
the twenty-eighth hole, but Wood
won the next two, to again take
the lead which he maintained to
win.
Mortie Dutra, eliminated Satur-
day by Al EspinoSa, was in bed
today with an attack of influ-
enza from which he was suffering
during his clash with ESpinoSa.

Kansas U. defeated the Missouri

order to make certain nothing is
done, they always do it twice.
Meantime, the talk around town
ran glibly to player trades soon
to be consummated and, when
they say "soon," they mean no
later than Lincoln's birthday.
However, it was said the Giants

an exchange of some kind.

National League club, asking for
action on player deals, and hav-
i :. taken the initiative in this
extra ordinary and, therefore, bust
nesslike way, Mr.. Carey probably
will meet many men in the next
few days who are willing to take
his vest and leave him the arm
holes.
Carey is frankly after a first
baSeman and may take Sam Les
lie, Of the Giants. There also
was some conversation about
Hughey Critz and Mickey Finn
second basemen figuring in this
transaction, or perhaps a second
one. The name of Johnny Fred
erick, Dodger outfielder, was
banded about pretty freely, too
The White Sox, it was said
had offered Luke Appling. short
stop, to the Yankees for Ben
Chapman, the outfielder. On the
other hand, there wasn't much
said about a Yankee deal fol

Immediately. but Zeiler COM

Disdaining a substitute for the
final five games, though his fin
ger was swollen twice its normal
size, zeiler, with courage seldom
equalled in any other sport, piled
into the pins for a remarkable
622 set, for an 1897 total and the
championship, and a 500 first
prize.
Perhaps in no previous duckpin
event have the victor's rivals been
so satisfied over the results or so
openly displayed admiration for
his pluck. zeiler expects to be in
top trim for the U. s. Sweepstakes
