KAUFMAN ENTERS
|PUBLlNKS TOURNEY
Committee Finds No Evil
dence To Substantiate Pro-
fessionalism Charge

DETROIT, July 2O-P-The en-
try of Carl F. Kaufman OF Pitts
burgh, three-time champion, has
been accepted for the nineteenth
annual national public links gol1
tournament, it was announced to-
day by Joseph C. Dey, Jr., exc
cutive secretary of the United
States Golf association.
Kauffmann's status in the tour
nament which opens at the Rack
man Municipal course here Monday
was determined today by the pub
lie links committee of the U. S. G.
A. Doubt concerning his eligibility
for the tournament arose because
of his ownership of a driving
range. Dey said the committee
found absolutely no evidence to
substantiate a charge of profes-
sionalism in connection with oper-
alton of the range and that Kauff-
man would arrive in Detroit to-
morrow.
Addition of Kaufman to the
field brings five former champions
into action in this years event. The
others are Andrew Szwedko, also
of Pittsburgh, the defending cham
pion; Al Leach, of Cleveland, the
1887 victor; David A. Mitchell, oil
Atlanta, 1884 %titlist, and Charles
Ferrera, Of San Francisco, 1881
and 1888 champion.
Kaufman won in 1927, 1928 and
1929 and was a fnalist in 1926. He
opened a driving range several
years ago after his physician had
urged him to obtain outdoor en-
ployment.
Eighteen holes of the qualifying
round will be played on Monday
and eighteen more on Tuesday
with the "a low scorers earning the
right to continue in match play,
Also at stake in the medal compe.
tition is the Warren G.. Harding
team trophy, now held by Los An
geles. Smiley Quick, who set a new
record of IS for the par II Rack
man course in a practice round or
Friday, is a member of the Los
Angeles team. The others are Mel.
Whitney and William c. Train.

Sirocco Wins Arlington
= Classic In Major Upset
Bimelich Is Third, Three
Lengths Behind Gal
lahadion
BY CHARLES

CHlCAGO, July LU."1ue ou,'
900 Arlington classic, graveyard OF
champions, produced another stun
ming upset today when the B a
Gelding, Sirocco, captured the
event at odds of Is to l.
Bimelech, potential 1910 three
year old champion, went to the
post at odds of 8 to 5 and could do
no better than third, three lengths
behind Gallahadion, winner of the
Kentucky derby which finished Sec
ond, even lengths back of the fly
ing Sirocco, owned by Charles T.
Fisher, Detroit automobile b d y
manufacturer.
Sirocco, which never won a stake
previously as a three year old, won
so easily that the crowd of $4,000
was stunned.
He paid $500 to win, $500 to
place and $3.50 to show. The prices
on Gallahadion, owned by Mrs.
Ethel V. Mars, Chicago, were $40
and $3.50. Bimelech, the prize thor
oughbred of 80-year-old Col. E. R.
Bradley, returned $3.50 to show.
The field OF six was we'll strung
out in the final dash to the wire.
Eight lengths back of Bimelech in
fourth place was Arnold Hangers
Dit, another 10 lengths sway was
A. c. Ernst's Alhalon and the Mills
dale Stables erratic Andy K. was
last, five lengths behind Alhalon.
There was little actual drama in
the final 18th for Sirocco. With
Jockey George Woolf on his back,
he came romping home all by him
self. But until Sirocco bounded out
of fourth position to conquer the
leading Bimelech and Gallahadion
there was plenty of excitement.
After a quick start Andy K,
which sometimes forgets to run in
a straight line, bounded out in
front, showing the way to Bime-
lech as he passed the cheering
spectators. Then Andy K b g a n
bearing out near the first turn and,
try as hard as he could, Jockey
Jack Richard could not Sraighten
him out until the rest of the field
was rounding the turn.
Andy K ran sixth and last in the
field all the way. On the b a C k
stretch, Dit took the lead, followed
by Bimelech with Gallahadion and
Sirocco trailing, and the crows be-
gan to wonder when Bimelech
would make his challenge. Their
Bimelech pushed ahead and was
first by a lead at the three quar-
ter mark. +
Moving together Gallahadion and
Sirocco came up on the outside.
The crowd looked on tensely as
the Bradley colt tried to keep the
lead, then faltered. He was a
through coming into the stretch
turn, where Sirocco was on the out
side and Gallahadion was closer to
the rail.
For an instant Sirocco swerved
to the inside sharply as he dis
placed Gallahadion from the lead.
Carroll Bierman took up Gallahad-
ion, then sent him after the flying
Sirocco.
Sirocco continued powerfully to
win easily, while Gallhadion tired
but held second place safely. Al
halon and Andy K were never in
the race, and Dit just for three
quarters; 4

PIRATES, KINST0N
TO PLAY BENEFIT
Game To Aid Officers Club
To Be Staged Here On
Wednesday Night

Rained out last week, the Pi-
rates Wednesday night will try
their skill against the Kinston ALL
Stars, a strong nine which the Pi-
rates in the past two years have
been unable to conquer.
But Wednesday night, when they
will meet the nine in a game for
the benefit of the Wilmington Po-
lice Officers association, Bert Kite,
Pirate Pilot, believes his charges
are going to take the measure OF
the visitors who have twice trim
med his men by scores of 4-3.
1--WE got all the errors out of our
system Friday night" he said,
land the boys are rarin' to go
against the Kinston players"
Advance tickets will be on sale
for the game through Wednesday
afternoon and may pe secured from
any member of the team .or any
member of the police department.
Friday night, Kite has announc-
ed, the Pirates will play the Dur
ham Golden Belt Athletic club, one
of the most popular clubs to visit
in the city. The last time the teams
met the Pirates won 81 behind the
hurting of Cheshire and another
good game seems to be in prospect
for Friday night.
The Kinston team always num-
bers among its players several
men from the Coastal Plains league
ana indications are Wednesday
night they will present a strong
aggregation against the Pirates.

Little Chance To Clear
MidAeweight Situation

Druxman, Seattle promoter, would
find them receptive whenever he
dug up a middleweisht that would
fight. Guardedly, that indicated they
didn't think a third go with AL Hos
tax, whom Yale eliminated with a
18th round technical knockout last
night, would draw we'll, even in Sc
attic, heretofore the hotbed of mid
dleweights.
1t was a discouraged Hostak who
yielded his title to Zale last night.
He told Tony afterward that he
thought the tough former steel
worker had the hardest punch he'd
ever absorbed.
Hostak was afraid of his tools,
afraid of nothing.
Hostak wound up with both eyes
puffed up, and a slight cut under
his left eye. He also nursed some
sore ribs where Tony poured his
dynamite like he used to pour steel
in Gary. Hostak was down three
times from punches in and near the
kidneys, right above his tights.
: Zale had only a slightly swollen
left eve and a bruise on the back
of his left hand to show for his
trouble. O" the touted Hostak punch,
he had to say:
HE never hurt me-even once
Promoter Nate Druxman reported
the receipts as $27,625.21, and the
attendance less than 10000" a poor

HERE AND THERE

Take it from me, Brother, there
was no history lesson on rooter's
row at Legion field Friday night.
Those holding down the bench were
giving everybody down the coun-
try both the Pirates aad the
Lucama nine j. B. Edwards
is looking for some good games
with some good, fast teams lii this
section for the Buccaneers, boys
who have "graouated" from the
Legion Junior nine. He can be
reached at the New Hanover Coun-
ty Health Department in the court
house here Churchill Bragaw
went to Charleston last week and
on his way back caught a four foot
snake which he sent Bill Keziah,
and by way of greeting, the snake
chewed on Bills hand. Both Bill
and the snake were reported living
at last reports You can look
for Laurence Leonard, of the
Greensboro Daily News to begin
writing of salt water fishing soon.
He has just completed a lesson in
the art under the instruction of l..
T. Haskell. He wasn't much at the
start but Haskell allows as how he
now "does pretty well for a coun-
try boy" Incidently, we al
ways thought the Independent
league played such fast ball. Some
how or other it seems to take them
an hour to an hour and Is minutes
to play a game beneath the lights
while the Commercial league does
the same job in about 50 minutes.
Tow come? ... The California
boxing commission doesn't like the
idea of Jack Dempsey returning
to the ring. That makes on group
more or u side -. This corner
is looking forward to seeing the
gals grapple at Legion field Thurs
day night. We also want to get a
glimpse of the new referee from
Castle Hayne. He asked for the
job, so it'll be his own fault, you
know Hear William Henry Ez-
zell is on the warpath about our
remark about amateur boxers
fighting in bouts not approved by

but someone ought to warn the

sioner is a bit lax in checking up
on the boys. He might accident
ally stumble on the matches some
night and then he couldn't very

third win of the year.
During the week, the Wertheimer
Bag company also turned in a card
of Is hits against Ethyl-Dow with
exactly half of them doubles.
The officials of the two leagues
have hit upon the idea of obtain

Of the expenses of the lights and
running expenses. While donations
in any amount are welcomed, the
officials feel confident that if each
fan gave only one penny for the
two and half hours entertainment
all outstanding bills could be paid
and the season could be played out
with all the new equipment paid

res FACE ACID
TEST AT STADIUM
Royal ~CroWn-Athletic Affair
At Robert Strange An
other Feature

With eight highly-confident teams
on the starting line, the Cape Fear
Baseball association begins the long
trek toward its second half pennant
honors this afternoon with four
games scheduled to be played on as
many diamonds around the county.
The Pepsis, winners of the first
half banner, face the acid test at the
very start when they engage the
dangerous Purol Bluebirds at the sta.
dunn in the feature tilt of the after
noon. However, in the RC-Athletic
affair slated for Robert Strange, we
have a backyard" argument that
should produce its share OF the
thrills and entice a healthy-sized
audience out to the popular play
ground. The Leland Bears.
up in the first division, journey down
to Masonboro Sound to meet the
rambling Ramblers of that commu-
nifty, and the Hi-kappas tangle with
the Jackson Bell Printers at Hilton
in the other contests on the bill.
On paper, it looks like the PCS, the
res, the Bears and the Frat nine
will emerge happily this afternoon,
but in the unpredictable sport that
is baseball, anything is liable to hap
pen. In their last encounter with
Snag Allen and company, the soar
ing Bluebirds almost scared the day.
lights out of the PC rooters by hold
ing a comfortable lead until the
final chapter when the Cola gang
rallied to take the cake.
The Athletics seem to be at their
peak when battling their intra-sec-
tional rivals, and because of that
age-old adage are given an outside
chance of topping the Royal Crown
men. The last Masonboro-Leland
get-together ended in a dramatic
draw called on account of rain, which
points to a good fight at Masonboro.
Red Miller is expected to oppose
the invincible Snag Allen on the hill
at the stadium with James Baker
doing the catching for the Purol ag-
%gregation and Burney Covington
working behind the bat for the first
half champs. No changes are eX-
pected in either lineup.
Lappy Williams will get the call
to hurl against his former team
mates for the Jamesmen this after
noon with bulky Sam Smith back in
his regular position behind the
plate. The re lineup will remain
the same in the other positions on
the diamond. The AS have not yet
announced their starting finger, but
their new.found pitching ace, Ben
kingoff, is expected to occupy the
hill with Baton on the receiving
end. The rest of the lineup will he
the same.
Highpockets Jimmy Mintz is seized.

ternity lads against the Printers

Strong-armed Austin Mcdonald will
be the Hi-kappa catcher and Man
ager Robbie Robson will hold that

lineups will probably remain the
same in the other positions.
Down at Masonboro, it will be

SOFTBALL,

Wade Ison, softball commissioner
for the state, has announced the
state amateur softball championships
will be held Aug. 29-31 at a site
soon to be determined by the states
eight district commissioners. John
Marshall, sports editor of the Ra-
leigh Times, who directed the cham
pionships in Raleigh last year, will
have charge of the program for the
remainder of the season, in the ca
pacity of acting commissioner as
Ison's duties at State college are
pretty strenuous.
We would like to see some of the
Wilmington teams compete in the
championships, but doubt if any of
them will. Most of the fellas have to
work, and getting off at a time like
this is pretty hard.
Meanwhile, the Commercial and
Independent loops are still finding
collections pretty meager at Robert
Strange playground. Foster Ed
wards, commissioner, esti-ates that
the negroes attending the game Fri
day night contributed more to the
collection than did the white spec
tators. We don't believe the fans
realize the bleachers at the ball park
were built by the sponsors of the
clubs and not by the city. Other
wise, we believe the fans would con-
tribute a little more generously in
order. to aid softball here. Edwards
has estimated that a penny a night
from each fan would do the trick.
How about trying that, fellas? One
copper per person each night in the
crab net. 1t isn't much per person,
but it would mean enough in the

they ratified like a pebble in a pot.

a nice double-play set-up.
Vic Stefano handled a line drive
That was really hot, but he looked
more surprised than good. We have
a bunch Vic didn't know he had
hold of the ball, until it spun him
around and threatened to screw him
into the ground like a corkscrew.
But the best of teams have nights
like that nights when they just
can't get working together.
But there was a man on the field
Friday night whose looks we really
liked. 1t a Brooks, catching for
Lucama. The lad catches regularly
for the Bailey nine and to this cor
ner he is one of the most promis-
ing young ball players we have seen
this season. He hit a triple and two
singles in five times at the plate
and while catching had a plenty
good arm and showed amazing abil-
lty, for a y%oungster, at catching the
high ones behind the plate, even
with the bright arcs.
