Beating in Portland— Egan Bests Griswold BY ALEX C. ROSE PORTLAND, June 24.—When the simi-fina} matches of the Northwest aqnateur golf championship come up for play today, Seattle will be with- out a contender, because of the fact that Bon Stein was defeated by young George Von Elm, of Salt Lake, yesterday, At Do stage of the game did the Seattleite look like a winner, and the match ended at the 28th hole, nine| down and six to play. Stein played good golf, but nobody could have won from Von Elm yesterday, In the morning ganie he came within a stroke of breaking the course record, but a siz on the home hole, the only bad one he had, spoiled his chances. He had Stein six down at the 18th, and the way he started out in his aft- ernoon play was heart-breaking—for Stein. | | | In the first two holes he registered bo birdies, As the result of yesterday's matches, Portland will have three players in the semi-finals and Salt Russ Smith, after being two down to Heinle Schmidt at the 34th hole, came thru in fine sfyle and tied the match and then won on the second extra hole. EGAN BEATS GRISWOLD Another long drawn out battle was stage@by Chan Egefi, the pres- } ent champion, and Clare Griswold, the old Jefferson park star. The 39th hole was the deciding hole, when| Bean got down in four to Griswold’s| » five. In the other semt-final match For- est Watson upset the dope by elimt. |" nating Dr. C. F.

Jackson had to travel to the 18th before she disposed of Mrs. C. W. Howard. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS Yesterday's results were as fol- lows, amateur championship: Smith beat Schmidt at the 38th hole; Von Elm beat Stein, 9 and 8; Egan beat Griswold at the 29th hole; Watson beat Willing, 3 and 2. “The toughest mateh I ever played,” was the compliment gan paid to Griswold as he shook his hand at the end of the match, Seattle failed to land a represents tive in the semi-finals éf the men’s handicap ap ip.

SEATTLE STAR Old-Time Fighters Tougher Snyder Says Kilrain Is Wrong, Because Old Fights Were Longer BY DEAN SNYDER “Fighters of today are just as good as they were 34 years ago.” Jake Kilrain says that. He used to battle with his bare knucklesy He does not regurd the bout be- tween Dempsey and Carpentier as child's play even if it is only for 12 rounds, He fought a 106-round draw with Jem Smith for the champion ship Dee, 19, 1887. “Dempsey is as rugged as they make ‘em and Carpentier has a head on his shoulders that will save his hands a lot,” he said, “1 think boxers of today have as much endurance as we had in the old daya, It’s al a matter of train ing.” Kilrain’s wrong. Fighters of yes- teryear were of tougher atuff be- muse they made themselves so, in preparing for long, grueling battles. If Dempsey and Carpentier were training for a 106-round contest they wouldn't be such gluttons for rest. Kilrain is now a wntchman at a shipyard buliding plant at Quincy, Mass. He is 62 years old.

DEMPSEY’S FAULTS ARE MINOR ONES BY JACK MAULIFFE Undefeated Lightweight Champioe NISW YORK, June 24. — Jack Dempsey has many faults and fall inga But, as I said before, they are minor. Carpentier has onty @ few techni cal faults, but they are fatal In the first place, I have observed in all his work that he plays to the gullery. If he can't keep his eyes off @ «mall gathering of leas than 200, he wil on his business when he gets in that mammoth arena with the eyes of about 80,000 spectators on him. Carpentier’s greatest handicap ts his physique and that’s not his fault. He's too frail to take @ body punch \Of a driver like Dempsey. He has a mortal fear of a blow tn the stomach and he hag no defense against it His sparring partyers have had no trouble in getting to his midsection. Carpentier fights too high, He's clear off balance when he misses and when he's on his toes all the time he can be flattened by any kind of @ punch. Perhaps he has been fooling us, but I believe after close observation that he is Wide open to a left hand.

But they were looked upon tn dis- dain by the loyal Harvard and Yale followers who let it to be known thus: “It matters not about the crews, they're Yale and Harvard.” One heretic floated around the elite circles with the offer to bet that Yale couldn't row the distance, He was calmly but politel} ignored. That is just how they feel here about the race. The experts figure it @ race between two very ordinary, crews. The writers look upon it as something that has to be covered. But Yale and Harvard consider it the gala event of the erason. Crimson and Blue banners bang |from the lamp posts, Crimson and Blue pennants fill the chop windows. All manner of souvenirs with the Yale and Harvard colors appear in the wares of the curb venders. Whistles blow and flags fly.
