Sicadying under the threatening advance of the veteran | of a hundred tourneys, Cook matched | his opponent stroke for stroke and maintained his lead. Cook consistently outdrove, out- pitched and outputted Nierling, never for a minute withering under the fire and fight the doctor displayed. Nierling Starts Strong Nierling started the afternoon; * round with a victory, his play straight -down the middle being good for a} par while Cook's drive hooked into “the woods on the right and he was half stymied by a tree. He was forced to play straight out and he went one over par. Both were straight down with two wood shots on the long sccond, and they halved ~ the 4s. *Nierling won the third wth a great third shot out of the rough and a 19 foot putt after he had dubbed his} second. Cook was straight down the alley with his two woods but he used two putts after approaching within six feet of the cup.

Cook drove around | baseball's freshest rookie, strolled out | the corner and placed his second on} the apron, but he took three strokes from this position to lose. Halve Short Fifth ‘They halved the short fifth with par 3s and Cook won his first hole of | the afternoon play when he played perfect golf on the sixth while Nierling’s approach was 10 feet be- -Yond the pin and he took two putis. Nierling picked up another hole when he birdied the long seventh. Nierling’s third was 14 feet away and his curl- ing pytt on the tricky green never even hesitated. Nierling made a beautiful pitch ‘with his third to assure himself of a ‘par and a half on the eighth but on the ninth Nierling put his tee shot out of bounds and took a 6 while Cook nailed his par 5, rounding the 27th hole 5 up. They halved the 10th with fours when both reached the green with their thirds and holed on one putt. Cook took the 11th with the only birdie made on this 433 yard test in the tournament. His second was eight feet from the cup and his “putt dropped over the lip without hesitating. Cook Misses Putt (Cook missed a short putt for a par on the 12th and they halved the hole after Nierling put his third from the rough on the green and went down in two. ‘The match ended on the 13th when WNierling found the woods on the right again with his tee shot but this time his out was 15 feet from the green. Cook was on the apron in 2. Cook was two feet from the pin with his third while Nierling was 10 feet _@way, and then the veteran, realizing that the best he could get was a halve, picked up his ball and con- gratulated the new champion.

And they started out to prove that they weren't by word of mouth and by spikes flying high into the bases. Anq the “old man” stopped them. “I don't want to win ball games that way.” he is said to have told them, “Get out there and play like gentlemen. I don’t expect you boys to| be sissies, but you don't have to be toughs to take care of yourselves.” Exit Joe Bush Last year the A's had a great jockey in Joe Bush, the veteran pitcher. He is no longer with the club.

The one faint gleam of real Yan- kee hope seems to be in the fact that Connie Mack's first line pitchers do show signs of fatigue; but what of Huggins’ tossers? Hoyt, out of game with blood poisoning; Pennock, still uncertain; Pipgras, unable to pitch two strong games in succession. A ninth-inning rally for four runs enabled Detroit to nose out the In- dians at Cleveland by 9 to 6 and so to prevent Peckinpaugh’s ambitious boys from stepping into third place.

Washington again nosed out the Red Sox at Fenway park. The score was 4 to 3. The only action along the National league front again took place at Pittsburgh where the Pirates won over the Cardinals by 5 to 1 behind Ervine Brame’s three-hit pitching. The game was notable chiefly for the failure of Grover Cleveland Alex- ander to register his 373rd National League victory which would have bettered the league record now shared by Old Pete and the late Christy Mathewson.

The two representatives from rival Pennsylvania cities were paired against cach other in the quarter final round of the national cham- pionship tournament here. Boyd all along has contended Kauffmann has won the municipal crown largely because of the “breaks” in championship pairings and that if he ever got the chance he would prove it. “I am not a whale of a golfer my- self,” he said, but if I ever get a crack at Kauffmann, I'll prove they grow better golfers on Philadelphia's Mu- nicipal links.” But among the galleryites who have been watching Kauffmann turn in low cards day after day, Boyd was regarded as merely a “long shot.” The champion has won the largest following in the tournament by his showing—a showing that gave him a tie for medalist honors with a 151 total for 36 holes and gave him the best two cards of yesterday's opening jrounds of match play when he romped to easy victories over R. H. Albeck of Chicago, 5 and 3, and John- way of Detroit, 6 and 5. Boyd had to fight all the way to win his first two matches, defeating Al Priebe of St. Paul one up on the nineteenth green, and Cconey Schabcr, Louis- ville, 2 and 1.

LONG COUNT FIGHT REFEREE CONTROVERSY FLARES AGAIN *sis,3.'0"s 38 ae Prehn Says He Was Offered $10,000 to Name Tunney- Dempsey Arbiter 1 WAS MANASSA MAULER FAN Exonerates Jack From Deal; Says Barry Surprised When Named Chicago, Aug. 9.-()-The smolder- ing controversy over the referceing of the Dempsey-Tunney world heavy- weight championship fight at Soldier field in September, 1927, today had burst into flame, with the assertion | of Paul Prehn, president of the Na- tional Boxing association, that he was offered $10,000 to urge a particular individual as referee of the bout. Prehn, who recently was ousted as chairman of the Illinois state athletic commission, said he was approached by a gambler, whose name he refused to divulge, who made the proffer, saying he wished to assure himself that the third man in the ring would not be pro-Tunney. The man was not selected, Prehn said. Prehn hastened to say that he was certain Dempsey had nothing to do with the affair. “Dempsey probably never heard of the offer, and I am certain no mem- sid of his camp was involved,” Prehn said. He related that the man had placed a thousand dollar bill on his desk and had told him that nine other notes of the same denomination would be his if he acceded to the re- quest. whom the gambler wished to serve as referee of the fight. Prehn said he immediately rejected the offer and ordered the man from his office. He then told the other members of the commission what had occurred, he said. He averred that the proffer was made by gamblers Prehn also declined to name; Barry, who became famous for the long count while Tunney was on the canvas, had no previous knowledge Mons Be wren to zetereeenin fiat Freon, said, Barry was “flabbergasted ai turned pale when I handed him the assignment.” Prehn related the incident yester- day in telling of the troubles encoun- tered by the Illinois state athletic commission which he headed until his resignation, and those of Al Mann and Sam Luzzo, recently were re- quested by Governor Louis L, Em- merson. fon S \e e ‘f @ ‘S|?
