S FAVORITES MAKE 00D IN DISTRICTS Few Upsets Registered in Nation-Wide Qualifying Tests—152 to Play. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. OBBY JONES won't be B around to defend his title when the national amateur golf championship starts at the Beverly Country Club, in Chi- ago, August 31, but five other one- time rulers of the Simon Pures will be ready to accept re-election. The amateur’s district qualify- ing rounds throughout the Nation yesterday provoked few surprises and gave Harrison R. (Jimmy) Johnston of Minneapolis, Max R. Marston of Philadelphia, Jesse Guilford and Francls Oulmet of Boston, and Chick Evans of Chi- cago a chance to show that they're still around. Johnson, the title holder in 1929, led the qualifiers at Minneapolis; Marston, 1923 winner, passed the test at Phila- delphia; Guilford, 1921, and Ouimet, 1914 Boston, and Evans, 1916 and 1920, at Chicago. And four runners-up for the title also will be among those present at Chi- cago, at least until the second 36-hole qualifying test, August 31 and Septem- ber 1, cuts the fleld of 152 to 32 for match play. Eugene Homans, beaten by Jones in the finals last year, qualified in the New York district; Dr. Oscar F. Willing of Portland, Oreg., second to Johnston in 1929, at Seattle; Watts Gunn, runner-up to Jones in 1925, at Pittsburgh, and T. Philip Perkins, for- mer British amateur king and loser to Jones in the 1928 finals, at New York. Favorites Come Through. Favorites generally landed on_top, | other qualifiers including George Voigt of New York, George Dunlap, intercol- legiate champion; C. Ross Somerville, Canadian star from London, Ontario; Charley Seaver, Los Angeles youngster, who reached the semi-final round last ear; Maurice McCarthy and Johnny hmen, who were eliminated in the third round; Johnny Goodman D(‘ Omaha, conqueror of Jones in the first round of the 1920 championship; | Roland McKenzie, former Walker eup | star; William Lawson Little of San Francisco; Chasteen Harris, Southern amateur champion from Memphis; Dexter Cummings and Ruby Knepper. One former champion, Jess Sweetser, failed to appear for the New York dis- trict qualifying round. The lowest score—140—was turned in at Dallas by Bud McKinney of Del Rio, Tex., with Goodman's 142 at Omaha good for second place. Mc- Kinney also turned in the lowest 18- hole score, 68, while Goodman and Frank Dolp of Portland, Pacific North- | west champion, had 69s. i District Leaders. | ‘The leader and his score by rounds in each of the 20 district tests yes-| terday follow: Dallas—Bud McKinney, Del Rio, Tex., 72—68—140.

C WEDNES RETZLAFF, HAMAS SCORE KNOCKOUTS Former Speedily Stops Osa. Latter Takes It Easier in Beating Morris. BY WILBUR WOOD. EW YORK, July 29.—Charlie Retzlaft of Duluth and| Steve Hamas of Passaic, those highly regarded young heavyweights, came through with knockouts in a wild and woolly evening f the fistic sport l'l. ;l;e Queensboro Stadium last night. telaff flattened Mateo Osa, rugged ue, with a right uppercut in the thi round. Hamas, trying to rate himself along in his brawl with Frank Morris, former National Guard heavy- weight king, required seven rounds to finish it. About 14,000 fans were packed into the club. Retzlaff made himself more of a standout than ever by putting the skids under Osa. Before they had been in action 30 seconds Retzlafl suffered & slight cut on the left eyelid. In a col- lision of heads a short time later a wide gash was opened on Osa's forehead. It was rough going, but with little clean punching. After the bell rang Osa let go a be- lated left hook, which hit Retzlafl on the whiskers and made him, naturally enough, rather peeved. Charlie came back with a right and they mixed it furiously in & neutral corner. The boxers hardly had been sponged off when the bell rang for the second. In the second and third Retzlaff continued to fire rights and gradually wore_down the Basque. A long right put Osa on the ropes and as he came off uppercut him with a right to the chin. Osa fell on his face and remained there for the full count. Hamas lacked his usual tigerish fury in his affair with Morris. Charlie Har- vey, who has Hamas in tow, explained that he had instructed the Passaic slugger not to rhoot the works at the start. as he has been in the habit of doing. In trying to rate himself Hamas lost much of his color. It appeared that he could have finished the job in a hurry if he had unloaded both barrels on Morris right at the start.

F there ever has been any doubt over the last two years as to who is the best golfer in the Midatlan- tic sector, that doubt does not exist today. Billy Howell, the blond Rich- | mond youth who holds the Middle At lantic and Virginia State champion- ships, has qualified for his first n: tional amateur championahip in tests yesterday at Hermitage Ccuntry Club' in his home town. Two Washington entrants qualified for the champlonship, but at no time | |did they look like the cinch bet that | |Howell was to make the grade when | he shot 150. His rounds were 73 and | 17. In the opening round his 73 might | just as well have been a 70. In the the medal. | Thomas P. Bones, southpaw star of | the Columbia Country Club, and John C. Shorey, entered from the Kenwood Golf and Country Club, will be the representatives of the National Capital in the championship at Chicago, start- | ing Aufu.!'- 31. They qualified with |cards of 154 and 157, respectively. | Other qualifiers were Chandler Har- | per of Portsmouth, Va,, former Virginia State champion, who had 155; Tom |Cole of Baltimore, who came through | with a 74 after an opening reund of | /83, and Donald McPhail of Baltimore. | | The top score was 157, which is 11 over par for the course. And if you don’t think it was tough ask one of | the contestants how the pins were placed on those fine greens. Harry G. Pitt of Manor, one of the outstanding Washington _ contestants, | | wired the committee in charge of the | !r;urney that he was {ll and unable to play. | The finest chance any of the local | contestants had to qualify was tossed | away by J. William Harvey, jr., of In- dian Spring. Harvey. started with a| flock of birdies and played the first nine in 35. But on the way home he | ran into trouble of every ducripuon' and took 45. His afternoon round of 81 left him 4 strokes too high. | Miller Stevinson had a fine chance to | qualify. Opening with & good round of 78, he looked almost a certain bet to make the grade. But his putting began going all awry in the afternoon, and he | played the last nine in 43 strokes for |an 84, and a total of 162. | Jimmy Drain and Walter McCallum |of Washington were far too high to qualify, while Parker Nolan had the heartbreaking experience of opening his afternoon round with a 9, after a good | morning. round of 80.
