AG 1600 -1Wilso: Time— QUALIFYING FOR GOLF TOURNAMENT Hore Than Dozen Amateurs to Compete for Bohhy Jones’ Crown Chicago, June 7 (A—Not only does an amateur hold the national open golf championship, but more than a dozen others stood qualified, or withdrew after qualifying to com- pete for the crown mow worn by Bobby Jones of Atlanta, as a result of yesterday’s 17 regional qualifying meets throughout the country. In one meet, the low score was returned by a simon pure, James Manion getting the van position at St. Louis with 146 among 8 surviv- ors. He withdrew later as did four at Pittsburgh. In the Chicago contest, the largest of the 17, Frank Thompson, former- Iy Canadian amateur champion, while living in Winnipeg, barely missed topping the field of 115 play- ers; and, despite three putts on the final green, tied for third place. In addition to Jones, several other leading amateurs were relieved of qualitying for being among the first 31 In last year's tournament, The total qualified vesterday was 110, and these plus those automati- cally passed and nine members of the British Ryder cup team will constitute the 150 entrants for the 72 hole medal play at Oakmont Country club, Pittsburgh, next Tues- day, Wednesday and Thursday. Not only did the Chicago region have the largest field in the elimina- tion, but, aside from the 141 score made by Charles Hilgendorf, at De- troit, and Harry Cooper at Los An- geles, returned the lowest scores. The 15 qualifiers were led by Willie Hunter, veteran professional of On- wentsla, elub, Chicago, and Frankie Callett of Milwaukee, the latter marking up the best round of the day. He scored 34-32—6, two un- der par on cach nine of the Park R course of 6400 vards. The Milwaukeean slipped on the second round, however, 12 more blows for & 78. James Carberry of Chicago furnished the fastest 9 scor- ing 31 with 2 birdles and an eagle n the second half of the morning round. Pittsburgh, venue of the open had a great increase in aspirants for the event, 68 more than last year turn- Ing out, making a total of 113 com- petitors, That city also got in the most amateurs, qualify hey all withdrew, allowing 4 pro- nals to take their places, Webh, KAPLAN T0 BOX HERE Mcriden Boxer, Former World's o | Featherweight Champlon, to Make Appearance In Local Ring.

The win allowed the St. Matts to keep pace with the Stan- mors, while it dropped the Swedes from the top to third position; it was the latters' first defeat of the season. The game was witnesser by about 200 spectators, Otto Suess started for the St Matts and held the Swedes well in check, but when the game developed into such a close struggle he was relieved by Billy Preisser, star box- man of the champions last year. Be- tween them they allowed but four hits, two in the final inning, but er- rors behind them put them fn trouble once In a while. Bill Fresen, who worked for the Swedes, also pitched great ball. The winners scor- ed one run off him in the third in- ning, and the count remained at 1-0 until the last frame. Then, with two out, Holst made a pair of bad er- rors and another run scored. In the last half of the inning two hits and an error allowed the Swedes to fill the sacks with one down, but Preis- ser pleked a man off second and Nyborg grounded out to third. The rival catchers, Fink and Ny borg, worked hard and with good effect, while Walter Linn's work at first base was fine. The line-ups and score by innings: Matthew's German Lutheran— E.

Two slow- ball pitchers, Otto Barta and Good- rich, engaged in a pretty ducl, with Barta having a shade on his oppo- nent in both effectiveness and luck. East team had one big inning in which it scored all its runs; outside of those, only one man on each side got as far as sccond base. The winners started with a rush. Morey slashed a triple along the left fleld foul line and scored when Parker bunted safely. Barta thump- ed a long double to center and| scored on Hammy Darrow’s single. Peck sacrificed and Washburn sent Darrow home with a single. Wash- burn was picked oft second and the rally ended. In the fourth session D. Negrl was safe on an error and so was Griffith. Strople connected for a solid blow, and Goodrich's sacrifice fly completed & three-run rally. ‘Washburn made three safe hits but was caught napping oft base on two occasions. Feature plays were turned in by Hammy Darrow, Schaeffer, Barta and Rockwell. Den- | ny Negri played a great game at | third for the losers and Strople was | death to fiies in left veld.

The result dragged the losers down to sixth position but allowed the Baptists to climb out of the cellar. Each team scored a run in the first inning, and in the fourth the Methodists found Keiffer for two more. The Baptists had been hitting Alden Hewett hard but could | not put their blows together for runs. In the fifth, however, they finaily made their hits tell anl scorcd three runs, taking the lead.

From Main street in Wichita| Falls, Texas, to State street, Chicago is quite a leap as seball goes, bu Alex Metzler appears to have ne: gotiated it successfully. Which is just another saying that the Lone Star way of | rookie | from Wichita Jalls has made good | Pittsburgh, defeated Teddy Gartin, try outs for the team. As each a as a member of the Chicago White Sox of the American league. | Not only is Metzler one of the few recruits of this year to deliver | but, in so doing, he is filling one of | the most difficult roles in bascball, | taking the place of Johnny Mostil, | generally regarded as the greatest | outflelder in baseball. | As has been the case with many | of the present day stars, Metzler | was unearthed by Connie Mack. A | batting average well over the .300 mark in the fast-going Texas league caused Mack scouts to recommend his immediate purchase. Joining the Athletics late last fall, Metzler managed to break into 20 games as a pinch hitter or regular. While showing promise, his batting average of .242 was quite disap- pointing, since an abllity to hit w. one of the things the scouts stressed | in boosting Metzler. Failure to win the pennant last seaspn caused Connie Mack to change his plans for this year con- siderably. During the winter he made several deals which brought to the Athletics those two veteran stars, Ty Cobb and Zach Wheat. Mack also had the brilliant Sim- mons, the hard-hitting Bill Lamar and Walter French, the speed mer: chant, making five regular out- flelders. When Metzler reported to the Athletics this spring it was apparen there was little or no chance for| him to break into the lineup. No first-year rookie could be expected to pit his ability against such an array of outstanding stars. It looked like a year on the bench, or possibly a trip back to the minors for Metzler for further seasoning. Then came the Mostil tragedy which provided the break for Metz. ler, giving him his big opportunity, a real chance to stick in the majo Hard pressed for outfielders, due to Mostil's deflection, Manager Ray Sevhalk of the Chicago White Sox made a hurrled canvas of the prob- able surplus talent on the different American league clubs. It didn’t seem probable that Metzler would be carried by Mack and immediate negotiations were entered into for his services. The White Sox finally secured him shortly after the open- ing of the season. As a matter of fact, a serious in- Jury to Ike Boone, &lated to play one of the outfield positions, helped Metzizer to stay In the majors, A few hours after his arrival in Chicago, he was sent into the line- up, taking Mostil's old place in cen- ter, Bill Barrett going to his original spot in right. Asking a rookie to Al Johnny Mostil's shoes is making him shoul- der a big responsibility, but he hasn’t curled up under the burden. Although lacking experlence, he is doing a mighty good job and his| timely batting has been & helpful factor in keeping the White Sox in the first division. Metzler is a lef-handed batter and | taken a good cut at the ball. His hits. While he wouldn’t be rated a speed merchant, he is fairly fast and appears able to cover plenty of ground. Manager Ray Schalk is hopeful he will prove a fixture. Tooks as if he would.
