BY JOHN B. KELLER. OME again for a short stay, H Yerous competitors for the honor the Yankees. A four-goeme se to be played in three days, start- ing tomorrow, is slated with the New Yorkers, a series long enough to cost the Johnson band its run- ner-up berth unless it keeps on its toes all the way. For the opening engagement of the string Manager Johnson will have cn the firing line big Fred Marberry, pro- vided Fred's arm is unkinked. Th husky Texan was picked for toil against the A's yesierday, but pulled up with a sore hurling wing shortly before game time. The ailment was not regarded as serious, but one can never tell abot these high-pr pitching limbs. They're great and the next worth nothing than a dime a dozen. If Marberry can't go tomorrow Johnson plans to send the left-handed Carl Fischer to the hill. Carl hurled a pretty good game th: last time out. That was in Boston in the twin bill last Saturday.

HICAGO, September 3.—Two | kids from widely separated its third-round phase today, two youngsters, one of them barely 19| years of age, and the other past his majority, were the reigning sensations. One of them is from the Middle Atlantic sector; in fact, he holds the championship of that section of the bunkered land. Lots of folks around Washington know him as the fresh faced, skinny youngster who won the Columbia Country Club tournament last year and was runner-up to Harry Pitt this year. Billy Howell, 13-year-old Washing- ton and Lee senior of Richmond, the city of cigarettes and first families, is the first sensation. The other lad is quite as surprising.” He is Paul Jack- son, a sturdy little youngster of 21 years from Denver, Colo, who mowed | down Johnny Lehman, the much | fancied ‘Chicagoan vesterday and then whipped big Fred Wright from Boston on the eighteerth green in the tensest moment of the day. Both arz playing in their first big championship. Billy Howell was unknown when he came out here to Chicago, but he is known plenty now. A few folks pick him to win the championship after the easy | win he had over John Goodman and his general fine game. But that is | asking too much for his first time at the big time. And an equal number choose Jackson, the diminutive lad from Kansas City, who looks like a cady and plays golf with the perti- nacity of Hagen and the skill of Jones. | | Howell. met Lester Bolstad today in the third round, and Jackson met‘ the veteran Francis Ouimet, {he only old-timer left in this kids golf tourna- ment.

One up with two to go, Billy | was presented with the match at the | seventeenth, where Goodman took two shots in a trap and finally picked up his ball. Billy had a par 5 on the eighteenth for a 74. He had no trouble winning from Owen Covey by 4 and 3 in _the afternoon. Young Jackson put on a fighting fin- ish to win from Lehman in the first round on tke eighteenth, and then did the same thing to win from the tall Wright. The eighteenth in the Wright match was a real comedy. The rain came down hard and as they reached the green it began to hail. Wrigtt took two shots in a trap and finally reached the green in four. Then Young Jackson putted up short and after ask= ing the official whether he could brush hail stones from his line of putt, he stroked the ball and missed. That left Wright with a two-footer through the water for a half. He took fully 10 minutes to play the shot, taking out various clubs, brushing the line and even lifting the water out of the hole, and then he missed, while a partisan Chicago gallery cheered the miss and the youngster's victory. Maurice Mc- Carthy was 2 down with 3 to play to Russell Martin in the morning, but put on a flashy finish to win on the last hole. He had no trouble with Emmet Spicer in the afternoon. Voigt was wiped out by & hot lat nine at the hands of Richard Martin ‘They kelved one hole in birdies and Martin came over the last nine in 33 to close out the former Washingtonian by 2 and 1. there you have the strangest amateur championship since Jones came up.

There is plenty of speed in the group of candidates quartered here. And plenty of beef and power, too. These boys have all of the natural hysical requirements to make good foot 11 players and, as I see it, are favored by being tutored by a coach who knows this game. A stranger came into the lobby of the Henlopen Hotel, where the outfit 13 quartered, the other evening at 9 o'clock and asked where the foot ball players were. If he had of stood beside the would have heard a salvo of first-class snoring. Those gridders had been in the hay since I:3g.r But there's another advantage in get- ting under the sheets early here. zlet's the tough mosquitos. These baties are the roughest, fightingest skeeters in the world. They never travel alone, but attack a victim in packs and give the boys both barrels on the first shot. And the bedtime lullaby here is the monotonous droning of the breakers on the beach. For somsthing éxciting to do the foot ball players dra them- selves on the window sills and listen to what the wild waves are moaning about. This is an ideal training camp for athletes at this time of lhe‘ yen.pThe Summer trade has flown North and no- y but the town folk and a few hotel employes are hanging around. A few minutes trek up the board walk and the biggest Dnl'tpof the town is covered. That leaves the.boys with plenty of time to write home and a running start toward bed. ‘There is plenty of big boys on hand. Louis Dee of Texas, a guard, runs into 6 feet and has plenty of heft, too. He Was out yesterday mauling his compa- triots around and there was plenty of power in his pushes. Joe O'Neill, & tackle, from Wilmington, is another 6- footer with plenty of punch. Other Tangy boys on Dick’s Farm field, where the boys are drilling, are John Rowan, George Becker, Joe Katalinas and The practice field is about 1!5 miles from the hotel. It is a stubbie fl’ldl and plenty rough. But when _the coaches get through giving the boys| scrimmage drills they will be tough | enough to think that stubble is a pow- | & der puff. Mills' candidates broke out into healthy perspiration . the first day in practice. It showed the boys had been doing & lot of hard work. during the Summer, and some of them reported ships and on farms, ley is able to have them play the “St. James' Infirmary Blues” at dinner each evening. There's no complaint about food | from the players. Usually a group of athletes in_training begin blaming the | food for their inability to get going. Either these boys are in great shape or the food is better than the usual training camp fodder. Crowley has been training college athletes for 27 years. He was with Syracuse for many ycars. And he is athletes of another day were better than those of today. “Nope,™ said Harry, “they are making them tougher and faster today. Boys are better trained and use their heads more than did the youths of 20 years ago, They wanted power those days.’ Billy McCue, the Georgetown foot ball team’'s prop- erty man, is a busy fellow here. He had the boys fixed up in light cloth- ing a few minutes after their arrival. Today he issued heavy togs and planned to move on to Georgetown to equip the fresh- man team drilling there, ‘There was plenty sneezing on the second morning at camp. Some of the boys slept with the doors open and only the lattice effect ones closed. The cool ocean breezes caught them off guard. But a half hour on Dick's Farm soon remedied any semblance of a cold. The presence of the old tramp athlete is missed here. These boys look like they go to school to get something out of it rather than some pocket money and a college background. . Coach Tom Mills 1s well liked by his uupfl;, And that's more than something’ When the players whisper behind a coach’s back, there's trouble, like prosperity, around the corner. But these fellows are with the coach all the way from what I can see. In a few weeks we will see just what the sad sea waves have done for these Georgetown gridders when they run into Lebanon Valley. Just now they are Joaded with confidence. | Finishes De Laun in 27 Minutes. | Zaharias Tosses Steinborn in Semi-Final Match.

CARNIVAL AIDS NINE. BALLSTON, Va., September 3.—It has been decided to continue the Ballston carnival, being ‘given for the benefit of the Baliston A. C., through Saturday. Yates should beat Westland, and Mc- | Carthy should trounce Coleman. Imagine a final like this: A kid like | Howell, who weighs about 135 pounds | | soaking wet. or Jackson, who tips the scales at 120 pounds as he left the hail-swept eighteenth green yesterday, against Ducky Yates, who weighs 26 a_golf ball down ai . Funnier things than that have,happened in the game of golf. EVER in all the upsetting history of the national amateur have there been so many upsets as there were in the first round yesterday. First. Billy Howell knocked out the fancisd | John Goodman, then along came Rich- | |ard Martin whipping George Volgt. | | Then John Lehman played a _sloppy | eighteenth hole to lose to the Jackson kid, and to crown the comedy, Charlie | Seaver fell before Ducky Yates. Just | to show you how far this Yates person | can knock & golf ball, he used a mashie | niblick for his third shot to the elght- | eenth green from 180 yards away. And | he stuck it up within six feet of the | | pin, to close the door on the youngster | | from California. | | And tren, to make it worse, Ross | Sommerville, the Canadian champion,) whipped Gene Homans, last year’s run- ner-up. After the first round, with the | exception of Outmet and Yates, it was | strictly a juvenile tournament, and it | is that today, again with those two ex- | ceptions. Ouimet is the oldest man in | the tournament, at the age of 38 years. | Yates is 35 and no one else left is past | 30. And they call golf an old man's| game. OWELL always had the Indian | sign on Goodman after the turn Billy played a great shot around a stymie to win the ninth and turn 1 down, and he quickly squared with a par 3 on the tenth. He went into the lead at the fourteenth, where Goodman played a weak pitch shot, and then Howeil three-putted the fifteenth green to give the Omaha lad another chance. But Billy got it back at the sixteenth, where a pushed tee shot was followed by a 10-foot putt for a 4 and Young Howell By the Associated Press.
