At the same time the Texacos went on a rampage in Lavoye and emerged on the long end of a 20 to 5 score. Glenrock got off to a bad start in the opener yesterday and Woods was knocked out of the box with nine runs chalked up against him in two frames. Dyer relieved him and held the Standard well in hand for the balance of the game. Dyer also turned in four singles in four times up, giving him a perfect av- erage for the day. “Lefty” Ray, the Standard pitch- ing ace, was in good condition and stepped on it when hits meant runs. He took things rather easy and was in no fever to pile up light hitting strikeout records. In the second game an untimely injury to Jim Griffen, the Legion catcher, turned the tide for the Elks. Griffen broke a finger and it was necessary for Skeets Walker to come in from center to relieve him behind the bat. A pitcher re- lieved Walker in the outfield and let a couple get away from him that resulted in scores. George Layman, the Legion's new pitcher,, made his debut and looks like a star. He held the Elks to four hits and displayed nice speed and curves. Bowman, the Legion the Elks pitcher, had tied up yesterday and 4 Standings American League. Team W L. Pet. New York 20 .!

They vil want to fight hin down. Chief among these bellicose fight- ers is Jaek Renault.

DELEGATE & GOLFERS DESIRE NEW (BIL BRENNAN (GIANTS WINWHILE GUBS ARE PLAN FOR 1925 OPEN By FRANK GETTY (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, June 16,—The sec- tional qualifying idea having had a luke-warm welcome among golfers who participated in the National Open, the committees of ‘the United States Golf Association and the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association of America are casting about for some more satisfactory system of weoding out aspirants for the open tit A British plan, with tests held in two days and the scorss counting for the championship proper, has been advocated and is certainly worth a trial. » This would require a 36-hole lay- out, but such sites are available, and certainly some of the complaints heard against the sectional system this year equaled those against the procedure at Skokie in 1922 and In- wood in 1923, In the opinion of x majority of golfers, the old system worked bet- ter than this year’s; but the old sy: tem had many faults. WHat is need- ed is not so much a new plan, as a good plan. The original procedure was to de- vote three days to qualifying and two days to championship proper. This consumed five days, the team match another, while, when there Was a tie, as happened at Inwood, a full week had been used up. To that must be added the three or four days proceeding the open championship, which the entrants usually devote to practicing on the course.in question. According to the distance they travel, therefare, 10 and even 15 days are required of Ene professionals away from their clubs. Loss of time, loss of earnings, plus a necessary addition \to expenses in the form of hotel and travel bills, caused a demand for a change. Hence the sectional qualifying plan. Another objection to the old sys- tem was that with three days de- voted to qualifying, those who drew starting times for the first day had to remain around idle for two days unull the championship proper started. This year, therefore, qualifying rounds were played at Worcester and oak Park. Most of those who participated, however, put in an ap- pearance three or four da: ahead of time, to get accustomed to the courses, and many went directly to den had the crack at Wills. But unlike Renault, Godfrey hus no kick against his managor. Jimmy Dougherty raised heaven and earth to get Leo Flynn to promise to match his man aguinst Gawge, but without success, As a matter of fact all the heavies are fighting shy of Godfrey, a fact, says Dougherty, that does not affect the big fellow’s appetite whatever else it may affect. ait ebee rect i In one respect the American As- sociation {s unique among. baseball leagues, in that its circuit has never been changed since its first or- ganization nearly a quarter of a cen- tury ago. self-addressed envelope, Other: Casper Tribunt) 1 umpires do not always make the run- ners touch the base and if the um- pires call play there is no reason why the runner should go to the base.

Tock, 4 fares, expenses proved equally heavy for most under the new sec: tional plan, and for some the ex- pense was much greater. ‘The main objection ralsed to the new system was that it detracted both from the qualifying round itself and from, the championship proper. ‘The qualifying round doesn't amount to much anyway; it seldom happens that any great number of rs, or possible winners, fail to get into the championship proper. When ® prominent golfer misses out he is generally so far off his game that he would not count in the final go for the title. John Black, the veteran; Alex Smith, Willie Kline and George Mc- Jean missed out this year; but, with the exception of the first named, none of them would have figured very prominently in the high-class field at Oakland Hills. There was little life or color to the sectional tryouts at Worcester and Oak Park. Except for one prize of $200, dffered for the low score in the qualifying round at Worcester, there was no reward for particularly low scores. Anything under 159 quall- fied as thoroughly as those who fought for 145. The best systern would seem to be that in use in England, where two days are devoted to qualifying and two to/chamipionship proper. Quall- fying seores count towards championship. ‘The fields are more strictly lmit- ed, but this could be attained by one- day district qualifying rounds in var- jous parts of the country. ‘Phere are plenty of good courses where 36 holes would be available for such open competitio: MERCHANTS ARE OUT IN FRONT By squashing Lee Douds’ nine yes- terday with a 13 to 3 score, the Merchants stepped up into first place in Casper's Independent ball league. Good use of the first two innings Was made by the Merchants who gathered in most of their score in that period, an then settled down to keep Douds from doing too much. A shift in pitchers was made by Douds so that the last three innings were tossed by Morgan. He held down the mound in great style, per- mitting only nine men to go to bat. Lee will throw this man into the very beginning of the next bat- tle, he says. For well balanced Playing and cleancut fielding, the Merchants had wares ‘worth watch- ing. They played a fine game. Failure of the Natrona Powet company team to show up caused forfeiture of a game to the Coliseum Motor company boys, giving them the customary 9 to © score. This makes three games played by th Colisevim, two lost and this last won. Boyle's -Fordson’s grabbed up 18 runs figainst 4 taken with much effort by the Telephone com- pany team. For 14 of Boyle's hits, the Telephone pole climbers made 14 errors. | SPORT BRIEFS | ANN ARBOR, Mich—Jack Bilott, university of Michigan catcher an nounced he would report to the Cincinnati Nationals June 23 CLEVELAND — Physicians said Earl Combs, Yankee outfielder, was injured so seriously when he slid home yesterday he might be out of the game all season.

James Cul- len, a state trooper and friend of Brennan, died early today from wounds he received in fighting the bandits after they had shot bis prize ring friend. The two men charged with the vourder are Frank Rassi and James Hughe: Both, according to the police, have criminal records. Rass! is a pugilist known in the ring as Terry O'Neill. Rass!, the police say, has engaged in bootlegging and as a search of the cabaret revealed a barrel filled with empty whiskey bottles, it is believed by the authorities that a quarrel over bootlegging operations may have resulted in the murder. No attempt was made at yobbery. _ ‘William James Brennan, 31 years old, formerly of Chicago, had lived in New York during the years in which he was noted as a “trial horse” for coming heavyweights.
