| « . nate ‘national team match, SPORTS. BY ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. P EBBLE BEACH, Calif., September 9.—Agitation for the abolish- ment again of the hazardous 18-hole matches seems likely to . follow the thirty-third national amateur golf championship, which witnessed the crowning cf Harrison R. (Jimmy) John- ston of St. Paul as successor to the throne occupied in four of the five previous years by Bobby Jones. On the same theory by which championship tennis matches are decided by best three out of five sets and world series by the best four out of seven ball games, a substantial group of officials and experts considers that 36 holes represents a more convincing test of golf than the 18, which now prevails for th tournament. At Oakmont in 1926 a system of limiting the qualifiers to 16 and playing all subsequent matches at 36 holes was tried, but abandoned the following year. Sectional qual- ifications has been urged and may be the final solution, along the lines it has been adopted for the open championship. At any rate, fresh fuel has been added to the old argument by the events in the now historic battle of Pebble Beach, where the champion and several of his foremost rivals were un- ceremoniously eliminated in_the first round and the dope upset by a_title match which brought together John- ston and Dr. Oscar F. Willing of Port- land, Oreg., neither of whom had ever gone beyond the third round previously. Johnston Rallied Twice. ‘The new champion, Johnston, had one' of his closest calls in the first round, where he was carried to the nineteenth hole to vanquish a Califor- nian, John de Paolo, brother of the noted racing driver. Furthermore, Johnston, in the 36-hole matches which started with the third round, rallied to win his two main tests after trailing at the end of 18 holes. Johnston was 1 down to George Voigt of New York at the 18-hole mark in their third-round match, but came back to wage a sensational fight in the afternoon and finally win on the thirty-ninth hole in the longest match of the tournament. “Jimmy” was 'way oft_his game af the start of the final with Dr. Willing, being 3 down several times and barely holding the Portland dentist to a one-hole margin before lunch. - But in the afternoon Johnston ‘was a different golfer, playing close to par as he took a commanding lead and won 4 up and 3 to play. In other words, the longer route proved Johnson's championship class, just as it has been to the favor of Bobby Jones. Jones, in the amateur tournament, has lost only one 36-hole match in six years. That was in the 1926 final to George von Elm, who has not been able himself to get past the e first two.rounds of the amateur first or_second round of 18-hole jousts since then. “I much prefer the 36-hole route,” Johnston declared. “Of course, the shorter matches are fair enough for everyone, but it often takes a while to get warmed up. I am inclined to start slowly, but I am never much concerned it I am not more than a hole or two down at the halfway stage of a 36-hole match. It is like a horse race. The front-runners seldom win. I like to be a little off the pace and have something for a good finish.” He Had Finishing Punch. Whatever else may be said about the final of Pebble Beach, its erratic golf, its pro-Johnston or anti-Willing gallery. there was no question that Johnston had the finishing punch. Johnston’s iron play for the last 24 holes, which he played in only 3 over par, was spectacu- lar, and the decisive factor in his favor. Once Johnston took command on the outgoing nine of the afternoon round he never lost control of his play to the greens. Johnston's finish was the only thing that redeemed a first round in which each had a medal score of 80— eight over par, with outgoing nines of 43 for Johnston and 41 for Willing. ‘Willing took 40 on the same nine in the afternoon. Altogether, the doctor was 15 over par for 33 holes. He wasted eight shots in four bunkers at critical stages of the match and his putting was seldom up to the usually hfgh ‘Willing standard of play on the greens. “What was my best shot?” Johnston repeated in answer to this query. “Un- douhudl{ the recovery from the beach on the eighteenth hole. I was in a bad fix there after hooking my second shot. ‘The ball was in the edge of the water. I had to stand deep in the soft, wet sand and shoot before a wave washed it among the rocks, where it would have | been unplayable. I just got it out in itime as a wave broke over my feet. | Nearly reaching the green, I was able to | save a half on the hole and remain only | 1 down, after it looked as though the | hole was lost. I had just won 2 holes and I think that recovery played a big | psychological part in my winning the championship.” New Marathon Route Picked For Potomac Yard A. A. Meet LEXANDRIA, Va, September 9.—A new route for the 10-mile modified marathon run to be staged ' by the Potomac Yard Athletic Asscciation Saturday, one lying largely in Arlington County instead of in Fairfax County, as orig- inally planned, was mapped out today by officials of the association. ‘The new course starts here in the 300 block, King street, goes west on King street to Russell road, then north to Braddock and east on Washington avenue to Mount Vernon avenue, through the town of Potomac on Mount Vernon avenue to Frazier avenue in Virginia Highlands, thence east to River road, south on River road and Wash- ington .street to.

CHICAGO, September first ‘time in 16 years, Quincy held the championship of the Three-I Base Ball League. pair of old major league , “Baby Doll” Jacobson -and Reb Russell, the Indians snatched the flag out of the scrambled heap yester- day by winning & double-header from Springfield, 9 'nhl'.‘!ltnd 4 to 2. by & leader on Saturday by .002 of a point 9.—For the | vic over Quincy, landed in third place two es to the rear.

Peoria, Springfield and Dan- , | former Club_and in ‘who m&- nwubmm il S long as Bill Di Este and Roger Peacock play golf they will re- member the shot that Di Este made yesterday, which nearly cost them a prize in the one club event at Indian Spring. Di Este, Peacock, George Gist and J. V. Bronell formed the four-man team which won the event, but only after many trials and tribulations, most of them cen- tering around the final hele of the nine-hole event. They were equipped with all forms of golf clubs, but each player had a particular task and that was to play the one club which he carried and which had been assigned him by the team captain. So well did this quartet play the first eight holes that they stood on the ninth tee needing only a 3 to score a 33, which happens to be 2 under par for the first nine at Indian Spring. Bill Di Este, cross-handed star of In- dian Spring, stood on the tee, with his trusty brassie in hand. “Here's where I knock one on that green,” thought Bill, “and maybe Jim Brownell can hole that putt for a deuce. If I do :vhl;‘ and he does his stuff, we should So Bill wound up and took a lusty cut at that golf ball. He hit it well and it went straight for part of the distance. But along toward the middle g-rt of its flight, it developed a sud- len diving hook and ducking between the bunkers at the left, finished in an unplayable lie against the caddie house. Capt. Peacock of the four-man team looked long and wor ly at that lie. He thought he couldn’t afford to lose a stroke, for the others were on the heels of this quartet, and so Roger did not call it an unplayable lie. Instead he elected to play it, and his judgment m'ed bad. The ball finally reached [reenlnslmkuonthurus hole, and was in the cup in 7. It seemed that the jury turned thumbs down because of Bill's wild tee shot and the unplayable lie. But there the other quartets were having their troubles, #nd when all the scores had been recapitulated and fought over and discussed it was found that there was not any cause for ap- prehension, for the nearest four to that of Di Este and Peacock were strokes back of their 37. But Bill and Roger will not forget those moments of uncertainty when the jury was out and while they were waiting to see whether bad judgment and one bad shot had cost them the tournament.

Schick, who broke 90 for the first tfme in his golfing career with a card of 89. which enabled him to finish in third place, his net score being 67. Maurice Eiseman is the new handicap club champion of the Town and Coun- try Club. Winning his way to the final round yesterday morning by a 4 and 3 tory over Rol Baum, Eiseman downed Willard Goldheim in the final round by & similar margin. Goldheim took the measure of Howard Nordlinger in the other semi-final.

HE athletic department of the City Club, under the direction of Dr. O. U. Singer, has not been letting grass grow under its feet during the Summer, according to H. J. Odenthal, executive secretary. All during the hot months preparations have been under way for the coming season, which opens Wednesday, October 16, when the City Club youngsters will face Charlie Jared’s husky bunch of ¥ boys of Baltimore. In this event 11 bouts will be staged. ‘The City Club team is being handled by Jack Cafoni, Ray Bowen, Tony Cortez and Marty Gallagher. These four professionals have been working wonders with the G ‘Street boys. The team has been built up until with two exclptions there are two men in each class. Practically all of the regulars who thrilled the fans so much last sea- son will egain appear in City Club tights. They are Al Satryb, Joe ‘Tamagni, Bill Stanley, Al Farrell and Jimmy Speer. ‘The club has acquired the services of Carl Endress, a new amateur from Ger- many. They call him Young Schmel- ing.

Shields Beats Appel. By the Associated Press. OREST HILLS, N. Y., September 9—With the fleld in the national tennis singles champion- ships cut down from 90 to 46, & further reduction to the 32 that will occupy the third round was in prospect today. Eighteen of the 46 survivors already had gained the third round by vir- #tue of first-round byes and second- round victories on Saturday. The other 28 were engaged in hand-to-hand com- bat with the other 14 third-round po- sitions as their infmediate goal. Such' players as Big Bill Tilden, the favorite; Frank Hunter, John Doeg, Wilbur Coen, John Van Ryn, Frank Shields, Richard N. Williams and John S. Oliff, who already occupy third-round brackets, were idle today, giving the rest of the field a chance to catch up. But even without these players on the courts some close battles involving lead- ing stars were in prospect. Fritz Mer- cur, of Bethlehem, Pa., was matched with Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines. Berkeley Bell met his fellow Austin, Tex., resident, Bruce Barnes; two New Yorkers, Dr. George King and Edward W. Feibleman, were pitted against each other, and George Lott of Chicago, favored to battle Tilden in the finals, was engaged in combat with J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange, N. J. ‘The two Englishmen, H. W. (Bunny) Austin and E. R. Avory, also were to see action, as were Julius Seligson, Her- bert L. Bowman, Phil Neer and other luminaries. By nightfall, weather permitting, it was expected the 32 spaces in the tnird round would be filled. ‘The only tournament activity yes- terday saw Shields advance to the third round with a straight set victory over Kenneth Appel of South Orange, 6—3, 6—3, 6—2. This match, scheduled for Saturday, had been postponed to allow Appel time to recover from an attack of iliness. LOTS OF HALFBACKS AT NORTH CAROLINA CHAPEL HILL, N. C., September 9.— Bill Cerney, who coaches the ball-toters at North Carolina grid, is bearing the brunt of much “ragging” these days in regard to his “hundred halfbacks.” “You must play 'em by the card- index system?” one asks. “Yeah,” replies another. “He's got ‘em all numbered.

Georgetown tossers today hold an increased lead in the fight for the Capital City Base Ball League as the result of getting a 9-0 forfeit over Gallagher A. C., which failed to place e yesterday between the teams. In Fight With EW YORK, September 9.—Metro- politan fistic fans hope to find out this week just how far Dr. Ludwig Haymann of Germany is gol in the fight for the vacant heavyweight ne. Having met and dis) of in neat fashion several lesser lights among the heavyweights, Haymann tackles a front rank star in the person of Tuffy Grif- fith, erstwhile light heavyweight con- tender from Sioux City, Iowa, in a 10- round bout, featuring the opening of the indoor season at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. Grifith will be trying hard to atone for the poor showing he made on his first appearance in the garden last November. He came out of the West with & E’ell reputation, .but James J. Braddock, Jersey City punchert stop him in two rounds. Despite the fact that Haymann golds the German heavy- weight championship and has been vic- torious in all his starts in this country. Griffith, now a full-fledged heavy, will be a strong favorite to win. Supporting this bout will be 10- rounders between Ted Sandwin: Harold er and Jack Charles Smith.
