Black came out of the west, un- heralded, unsung and alone, and by the way of launching his campaign for the golfing championship of the! world called upon club officials at} Skokie to establish his fdentity and! eligibility for competition, Then, un- pretentiously, with rusty clubs, an air of peaceful indifference, and a kindly smile for everyone, the Californian Ia- Dored through the qualifying rounds, and the finals without attracting ape- cial attenttom—until the day’s cards were placed in a long row with Binck's | atop the field. And who ts this sturdy Scotchman | with the queer old pipe, the golf world inquires with a single vdice. The na- tive of Troom, and once a carpenter, shot two wonderful rounds of 71 each. In addition he performed the most startling shot of the by holing a 50- yard niblick pitch from a sand ‘trap at the fifteenth hole for an eagle, after driving 230 yards. The ball plunked right into the cup without touching anything but the pay hole. ‘As a result of his consistent work Black is favorite with many followers of the tournament for the title He Yearned his golf as a caddy for Harry ‘Vardon and he imitates his master by carrying a set of rusty clubs, all of which he uses with great profictency. He drove more than 300 yards sev- eral times and was usually straight from the tee. He approached with exceptional accuracy, as witness his holing of a niblick shot, while his put- ting was steady most of the time. ‘There is still hope for an amateur to win, according to experts, for Bobby Jones of Atlanta is shooting well, despite the fact he tossed away several putts, while Chick Evans of ‘was only eight over par for 36 holes with at least a dozen shots wasted. Both players are capable of breaking par if they hit a streak of luck to aid thelr clever shooting. The weather turned to ‘ar caecte terday and promised to iy for the final rounds. The fatrways have dried out from Wednesday's flood, so that wiping mud off the balls has been abandoned. The greens are keen enough for putting and yet soft, ‘enough to hol well cut shots per tly. ¢ reneea and Evans are paired to play together today, while Black and Barnes will make the final circuit to- gether. The gallery yesterday was of 7,000 and with the Satur- day half holiday, st ts expected that the crowd of today will be a record for Chicago at least. ‘William Mehlhorn, of Shreveport, La, and Bobby Jones of Atlanta, Ga., with 216 each were well to the front among the golfers who had finished 54 holes at 1 o'clock, but their pos!- tions were decidedly precarious for many of the lowest scorers in yester- day's half of the tournament started late ahd had reached only the 45-hole mark. Black had 178 for 45 holes. Mehthorn had a fine 34, two under par, on the second morning nine. Jock Hutchison, struggling bravely to over- come yesterday's eratic work. shot 71 this morning and totaled 223, seven strokes behind Mehthorn. ‘Abe Mitchell, 230 and Wille Hunter, 226 for 54 holes, British pro and ama- teur, respectively, virtually were out of the running and George Duncan .Fith 186 for 45 had little chance. Italian Wins Big Auto Race STRAUSBOURG, July 15.—(By The ‘Associated Press)—Felix Nazzaro, of Italy won the eighth Grand Prix auto- moblle race here today. His time for the distance of a fraction under 500 miles was six hours, 17 minutes, two seconds and his average 127.7 miles an hour breaking the Grand Prix rec- ord. The record of 128.72 kilometers an hour was establishe? by Jimmy Mur- phy, winner of last year’s race.

OMAHA, Neb., July 15—(By The Associated Press).—The match that all golfdom west of The Father of Wa ters has been waiting three years (> see bogan under bright sk’es today when Rudolph Krepper of Sioux City, Iowa, and George Von Elm of Salt Lake City drove off the first tec of tae Omaha Country club course in the finals of the 1922 Trans-Mississippl golf tournament. By far the largest gallery of a werk of match play swarmet down the fairway in the wake of the smil* ing, easy going Von Elm and the cold and reserved Princetonian. ‘The one carried in the left sleeve of his white golfing shirt an al arm which, despite pessimistic predic tions early in the week has “alled to tuke the edge off the 1921 char.pion's perfect golf. The other, who cams here six days ago only a few hours after a week of gruelling golf at Des Moines where he won the state cham pionship, was admittedly “over golfed” yet had won his way into the finals with Von Eim only after eliminating four golfers who rank with the west's best. Today’s match is the firat in which these two have met. Both have played in the finals of western amateur tour naments, Von Elm this year losing to Chick Evans and Knepper preceding him to the same fate a year ago.
