browneI| Eliminated,
Favorites Tumble
In Western Golf
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, July 14.-The
Western amateur golf tournament
moved into its third round to-
day, with at least a half dozen
players wishing the officials had
not mailed those special invitations
to trio Of college teams.
The invitations we're sent be-
cause few college players belong
to clubs in the Western Golf Asso-
citation, and they would not have
been eligible otherwise. Duke, Stan
ford and Oklahoma accepted.
The 16 survivors included the No.
l man Of each college. Strewn by
the wayside were six veterans van
quished by the youngsters.
The collegiate sharpshooters are
Don Kennedy of Stanford, Skip
Alexander of Duke and Marvin
Mesch Of Oklahoma.
Alexander created most havoc by
eliminating David (Spec) Goldman
Of Dallas, one of the pre-tourna-
ment favorites, although 1t took him
four extra holes. In the morning
he ousted John Holmstrom of Rock
ford, ILL.,, 3 and 2.
Mesch, Oklahoma collegiate cham
pion, surprised the gallery by drop
ping Jack Munger, another Dallas
veteran, 2 and l, and stayed in
with a similar victory over Otis
Duncan of Oklahoma City.
Kennedy, playing the kind of golf
which carried Stanford to the ma
tional team title, ousted Grover
Austin of Oklahoma City, 4 and 2;
then bumped George Victor of Chi
cago, conqueror of former Cham
pion Chick Evans, 2 and /.
A fourth collegian, defending
Champion Bob Babbish of Detroit,
defeated E. J. Rogers Of Oklahoma
City, and 2, in the second round
and continued his title defense
against Billy Coffey of Fort Worth,
Tex, who tripped one of Alexan-
der's teammates, Robert Brownell of
Washington, D. c., and 2. Brown
ell had beaten Spence Kerow of
Cincinnati, 3 and 2, In the first
round.

Bowden Is New York '!
Last Hope 10 Keep
Net Title Home
BY the Associated Press,

| BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 14.-It's up to
Frank Bowden, who does most of
his tennis playing right around
| home, to keep the New York State
clay court singles title at home.
Seventh on the list of seeded
players and marked for early elm
ination, Bowden yesterday blasted
the first big hole in the ranks of
the invading Southerners when he
eliminated Morey Lewis of Tex
arkana, Ark, in the quarter final
round, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4
The other three berths in the
semi-finals belong to the South.
Top-seeded Frank Guernsey of
Orlando. Fla, the defending cham
pion, and his doubles partner
Russell Bobbitt of Atlanta, won their
places yesterday
The other is to be decided today
between Bill Gillespie of Atlanta
and Billy McGehee of New Orleans.
These two might be claimed as local
boys, however. for Gillespie used to
head the Scarborough IN. " school
squad and McGehee took over that
role this year.

New Basket Game
Has Lone Goal
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated PreSS.
LAWRENCE, Kans., July IA
DR.. F. c. Allen, versatile Kansas
U. coach who's always tinkering
with basket ball, has come to the
rescue of unlucky cagers who toss
goals into opponents baskets.
Goal-hi, a variation of basket
ball, has only one goal and it's
the target of both sides. The
new sport made its debut last
night with former college stars
mixing 1t in a rough, strenuous
4l-40 contest.
The game is played on a
circular court so feet in diameter.
There is a 6-foot circle around
the goal, which has no blackboard.
No player is permitted in this
area without penalty.
When a goal is made. the
balls DETECTED back into the
court by a metal cone. Thus
there is no letup as in the regular
cage sport.
Players who commit fouls are
placed in a penalty box for a
time as in hockey, leaving their
teammates short.

Putter Is Vital Factor
As Pros Battle in
P. 6. A. Semis
Nelson Plays Harrison, ,
Metz Tackles Picard:
SIueeine Minimized
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE much
maligned putter becomes profess
sional golfdom's magic wand today
as four of Americas super golfers
meet in the semi-finals Of the P. G.
A. tournament
On the stubby, par-pummelled
Pomonok Club course that puts
terrific premium on second shots
and putting, Byron Nelson, the
United States Open champion, meets
E. J. Dutch) Harrison of Oak Park,
ILL.,, while in the other bracket curly
haired Dick Metz of Lake Forest,
ILL.,. has a date with Henry Picard,
glum Hershey, Pa, pro.
The guy who can putt is the guy
who can win" Is the word Of no
less an authority than Nelson, who
put together one Of the most mag
nificent rounds in P. G.. A. history
to dump limerick Kocsis by 10 and
9 yesterday.
Slugger Has No Advantage.
you always can say that the best
man with putter will win a golf
tournament" Nelson said, but it's
especially true on this course. This
layout gives no edge to the long
hitter-it's the man who's hot on
the green's who figures here"
That brings up the question, Who
is the hottest of the quartet that
has gone through IA holes Of golf
at its fiercest competitive pace?
On the basis of the play so far,
Skinny Dutch appears the man t.
beat. He has drummed out a steady
tattoo of sensational puts, any
where from tricky two-footers to
breath-taking 25-footers.
But Nelson, who had not a single
bogey in q holes against Kocsis, Is
not exactly a poor putter. That may
not be the strongest part of his
game, but he did it in spades yes
terday.
harrison In Tough Spot.
Metz had to dip his putter in the
water bucket Wednesday to keep it
from melting. But it was an uncer-
tain club in beating Paul Runyan.
the 1888 winner, 2 and l yesterday
Picard, the silent one, lets his putter
speak for him and it talks eloquently
enough for hoth
II Harrison breaks through and
wins this twenty-second edition OF
the toughest golf tourney in the land,
he'll have to edge out select three
some that already has won IL of the
10 major tournaments since the first
of the year.
Yesterdays results, in addition to
Nelson's amazing display, caused
lifted eyebrows when Harrison, by a
4-and-3 margin, ousted Horton
Smith, who has yet to win a major
tourney after II years of trying.
Metz, in shading Runyan, did a
workmanlike job, and Picard's "up
from under" triumph against Rod
Munday, 2 and /, showed how hard
the Hershey pro is to beat when the
chips are down.

Prize FinoI Today
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

No more enthusiastic golfers can
be found anywhere in Washington
or in the land than that group of
nnksmen who leave the composing
room and the linotype machines for
the golf course. Particularly in the
National Capital do the printer
golfers 60 to town in tournament
play, and in friendly competition
And they have some good ones in
their ranks too. Such clubswingers
as Joe Balestri Of the Government
Printing Ofice, Charley Ficco and
Serge Folk of The Star composing
room, E. B (Chick) Heimer and a
few others can hold their own in any
links company. Nor can you toss out
Edgar A. Merkle, who happens to be
one Of the better golfers at Columbia
Big d. C. Squad to Play.
All these men and many more,
headed by Clarence E. Purdy, Dis
trict Of Columbia delegate, are plan
ming to attend one of the biggesNgolf
tournaments Of the year-the annual
affair Of the Union Printers Inter-
national Golf Association-to be held
at Cincinnati August 1911, inclusive.
I'VE expect to have more than 30
men from Washington IN that tour
nament." says Purdy. "And we may
have more. Most of the boys will
have their wives with them. And
we may have a winner in Merkle, or
Balestri or one Of the others"
Merkle won the championship a
couple Of years back, when Ed
Gableman wasn't winning. Ed has
been big figure in these printer
golf Journeys. which always draw a
big crowd Both Eds-Merkle and
Gableman.
Big Golf Organization.
An announcement by the associa-
ton tells the world that the Union
Printcrafts Golf Association is the
third largest golf association in the
United States That's taking in q
lot Of territory. but it undoubtedly
is true. The printers really go for
golf, and maybe the man who set
this column of type is a 70-shooter
who can lick most of the men who
plav at the swanky country clubs
Golf. YOU know, no longer is the
exclusive property of the wealthy
few. It's by long odds the most
democratic sport in this land.
The printers tournev will be held
at the Summit Hills Country Club
of Cincinnati.
