ROT” CRT TEP YOUNGSTERS MONOP ARMOUR-LEWIS MATCH TODAY'S BIG FEATURE Jesse Sweetser Wins Quality- ing Medal in “Met” Ama- teur Championship. By William Abbott. LAKEWOOD, N. J., June &— Youngsters are fast exploding the {dea that golf is an old man's game. Old-time stars are rapidly retreating in‘tournaments before the victorious fush of youthful forces. In the list of thirty-two who will start match play to-day for the Metropolitan golf title over the Lakewood Country Club Sourse are only two or three surviv- gre of the old guard that once bagged lj laurels on the links, For the most Part the fleld is mado up of young stars with little tournament experi- ence. ‘The best of the first round matches brings together Tom Armour, a young Boot and former French champion and now entered from Westchester- Biltmore, and Reggie Lewis, another youthful performer from Greenwich who usually makes things hum In tournaments. The remainder of the pairings provides fairly easy opposi- .“on for the favorites, although there'll be. some loud collisions in the second 18-hole round. The 86-hole qualifying test yester- @ay was won by Jesse Sweetser of Ardsley and only two months out of Yale. This tall blond young man helped himself to two rounds of 75 and 78, His 153 total was a target for the rest of the field, which one atter another just fell short of while the leader spent sdyeral anxious hours of watchful waiting. First it was Frank Dyer, the latest Jersey State champion, who had the chance of breaking Sweetser’s lead. Dyer barely missed, taking two rounds of 76 and 78, for a tie with Lewis at second place. A. L.. Walker, former college cham- pion, was next figured, but the plucky Yad from Staten Island blew his chances on the last few holes and Promptly dropped out of the running. “Well, Reggie Lewis will do it,’ said the wise ones, who continued to bank strongly on wireless rumors fromthe links which are seldom cor- rect. Yet the scoreboard hounds were Kimost right. Lewis had first place Practically won, but tossed it away by carelessly playing the last two holes. Lewis tied Sweetser with 75 at the end of the first round\ Sweetser slipped a little on the second journey, DRAW FOR MATCH PLAY IN “MET” TOURNEY TO-DAY. ‘THE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1992, [scores MADE IN QUALIFYING ROUND OF “MET” TOURNEY Ist 24 To- Name.

This gave Lewis a wide opening, but the Greenwich star finished the chance. Still the\margin grew so narrow that Lewis only had to sink a short putt on the home green to tie Sweetser, but he fell down on the effort and had to be satisfied with sharing second place with Dyer. Qualifying scores ranged from 158 to 172, very good golf considering ter- riflc heat that boundéd back from the thick pine woods with increased vigor and the difficult nature of the recon- structed Lakewood course. It was the proud boast of Frank Barton and other club officials that no one broke 80 in tournaments since the links were made over three years ago. The metropolitan contestants not only changed all this, but set up a few records that should last some time, The best showing came in the sec- ond round, when Tom Armour reeled off one fine shot after another and patched together a remarkable 78, This is the card: rd holes, with severe trou- ble off the tees, are the tougest on the local course, but Armour made them appear easy. The young Scot's pitching was so deadly that he had only short putts to make, which really explains the sercet, as if was on the greens that most of the contestants killed their chances, Armour's feat was all the more re- markable when his first round card shot up to 84. The starting field numpered sixty- six, considerably below Metropolitan numbers, There were numerous late withdrawals, the most prominent be- ing Oswald Kirkby and Warren K. Wood, Huggins Hits on Idea To Bring Pitcher Jones Back to Former Red Sox Star Will Only Be Worked Every Sixth or Seventh Day. By Robert Boyd. CHICAGO, Ill, June 8.—Miller Hug- gins has originated a sctieme to re- habilitate Sam Jones, one of his best pitchers, who has slumped badly since the Bening of the 1922 season, Jones, while with the Red Sox last year, was one of the foremost twirlers ig the American League. He did not have as strong a team of players sup- porting him, yet he won games more consistently than he has this year with the Yankees. Jones was rated in a class with Waite Hoyt and Carl Mays when the Yankees procured him in a deal with Harry Frazee, that brought Bush and Bverett Scott to New York. After the Yankees fell’ short of winning the world’s championship last fall with the Giants, Huggins de- @lded to reinforce his pitching staff gpd negolated with the Red Sox for Jones. Huggins thought well of Sam and expected to alternate him steadily with Hoyt, Mays, Shawkey and Bush, The Yankee manager started Jones in the first game of the season against the Senators in Washington. He has at times given him precedence over ‘Bis other star moundsmen. Throughout the American League @ircuit many think Jones has started to slide down the old backward grade. He has lost six straight games. Since the gtart of the season he has lost seven games and won only five. Many venture the Yankees have been stung in this deal with Boston, just as the Cincinnati! Reds ‘were in the case of John Scott. Jones is no youngster. He has been pitching many years in the majors, and al- though an athlete that takes wonder- fuj care of bimself he has been batted hard this year with the strong Yan- kees behind him. He ts not the pitch- er he was last year with Frazee. Clubs like Washington and Cleveland, against whom he displayed effective- ness last season, have mauled him hard this year, It is mentioned around the league circuit that he {s losing his stuff. Blowing up #0 with his fast ball, And to-day he hae only tic crafincss ‘end prace of the once great pitchor ® His Old Form out and reveals this. So Huggins has hit upon an idea. Sam will not be worked so often in the future. He believes he has been overworked while with the Red Sox and he too was working him every fourth day. Hus will give Jones a rest and wo him every sixth or seventh day, for Huggins scents something wrong by Sambo's work this year and has or- iginated this great hica to restore one of the foremost right hand twirlers in the American League if not in the game to-day. oo WASHINGTON HIGH TEAM UNDEFEATED AT TENNIS ‘The George Washington High School tennis team captured the P. 6. A. L. champlonship when {t defeated the Clinton tennis team by the score 5—0. The Washington High team has gone through a seven game schedule with out a defeat. The scorea follow: Town- send Harris Hall, 4—1; Stuyvesant, 4—1; Commerce, 5—0; Textile, 5—0; Morris, 4—1; Evander, 4—1; Clinton, 5—0, This year’s team has established a splendid record, the doubles team, con- sisting of Oates (captain) and Orser, and Baker (star third baseman) and Dailey, did not eyen lose a set the en- Ure season, while Leonard ang Kadle- bug, the other membera of the team, lost’ only two matches each, It rivi tho George Washington tennis team under the leadership of Jerry Lang, now playing on the Columbia varsity tennis team, captured the championship in 1920, Credit is due Coach Tanz and Mana- ger Case for the splendid way they trained the team, Prospects seem bright that the Cnnis champtonship will re- main with Washington High next year as every man on the team except Dalley is below the sixth term and will be un- doubtedly on the team next spring Next week George Washington wili meet the Utle holders of Brooklyn and Queens for the city title, a WEATHER CUTS WORK OF ANNAPOLIS OARSMEN ANNAPOLIS, M4., June §8,—Hot and sultry weather forced the Naval Acad- crew to curtail its work.

HE current series between the T Brooklyn Robins and Cincinnati Reds will be resumed at Ebbets Field this afternoon, Ruether and Donohue, who were slated to pitch the opening game, have been saved by their managers for to-day, Rue- ther is in fine condition for the con- test, and if the fielders give him the support of which his pitching is de- | serving, he will have nine straight victories to his credit before night descends upon Flatbush ‘orge Burns, who starred in left fleld for the Giants for so many years, looks strange in a Red uni- form. He is still the same Burns, the same smiling, dignified persgnality; the same graceful ball player and consistent, conscientious worke but the red stripes on his stockings, one feels, don’t suit him nearly so well as the colors New Yorkers are accus- tomed to see him in, “Fine” was his only comment when asked how it felt to be back In New York. With all due respect to the New York Giants, champions of the world and leaders in the National League race for the pennant; with all due admiration for their famous and much abused ‘million dollar infield,” and with all due reverence for the venerable Mr, Robinson and his com. bination of ball players, it must be admitted, though not without a sen- timental catch in the vicinity of the tonsils, that the Cincinnatt Reds are displaying about the best brand of baseball séen at Ebbets Field this season, Reds is the proper name for these lads. By the way they are playng now they show « total disregard for Slatisti standings and the fact that they are not slated by the dopesters for the first division. One little sbad lip on the part of the Robins and rdinals, who are still tied for third place, and the Reds will begin to jarass the more aristocratic clubs at he top. And once there, they are ing every indication of proving 8 a hard bunch to root out again, ‘The conference at The Hague seems to be about the only remedy. The opening game of the series, which the Reds won by a score of 6 to 2, showed the Robins up in a very poor light. Jive errors, and all of an amateurish variety, helped _ the Dodgers to their own defeat. They demonstrated conclusively that they must have pitching of the first class to win games, Vance did not give it to them so (hey lost Vance started the game, and for three innings he kept the visitors from hitting him by using all the speed he had at his command, His curve ball failed to work for him, but he man- aged to retire the Cincinnati players with but one hit for the three innings, At the beginning of the fourth, how- ever, the Keds found his weakness and pounced upon him for four hits and as many runs. Luque pitched @ fine game for the visitors, allowing only seven hits. eas GYMNASIUM OWNER HELD IN 7LST CASE Boxing circles will be much concerned fn the outcome of the trial of Louts Stillman, thirty-four yeare old, con- ductor of @ gymnasium at No. 919 ghth Avenue, who lvos at No. 097 man was) soasions on a | Kolly Btreot, the Bronx, id yosterday for Bpo | yaareo of conducting ¢.«!ring e@xhibi- Hone without # Hoenae from the Boxing U.S. ASSOCIATION GOLF RULES USED IN WESTERN MEET First Time in Several Years Regulations Will Prevail at Amateur Tourney. CHICAGO, June 8.—Rules of the United States Golf Association will Prevail at the coming amateur cham- plonship of the Western Golf Assocti tion at Kansas City for the first time in several years, according to the for- mal programme of the event sent out yesterday by Secretary W. W. Har- less. Provision is made, as allowed by the United States Golf Association, for the use of local rules so that t.e penalty for lost ball and a ball out of bounds shall-be only one stroke, a ball em- bedded in mud on the course may be lifted as from casual water, and a muddy ball may be cleaned on the green. Aside from the stymie, this local rule arrangement allows for all the difference which the Western Goif Association allowed from St. Andrew's rules during its split with the United States Golf Association in 1916. The stymie has been restored and will be played. The Western amateur title, now held by Chick Evans for the sixth time, will be contested over the links of the Hillcrest Country Club, caid to be already in excellent condition for the tournament, which wil! begin on June 26, The first 18 holes of the qualifying rounds will be played the first day. The qualifying will be finished on June 27 and the first and second rounds of match play will be at 18 holes. The rest of the match play will be at 36 holes, OLIZING HONORS IN TOURNE A LAKEWOOD er Glenna 'Colfett Will Be Hard to Beat This Year Championship e In National Providence Miss Wins Eastern Event Easily, Her Second Title of Season, Prove to be hard to beat in the ‘Women's National Golf Cham- pionship this season, judging by the manner in which she outclassed th, field in the Eastern Women’ Association Championship Tourney over the dificult Westchester-Bilt- more Country Club course, This is her second title this season, as some time ago she won the North and South championship at Pinehurst. The clever Providence miss finished the fifty-four-hole event in 246 strokes, eleven better than the card of Miss Cummings, the next in line. _ There was a tie for third place between Mrs. J. L, Anderson, the former Miss Irene Peacock, from Cherry Valley, and Miss Elisabeth Gorden of Providence, both returning 261 for the three days’ play. Four of the women returning the ten best scores represent the metropolitan district, the three besides Mrs. Ander- son belng Mrs, H. Arnold Jackson, for- mer national champion from Greenwich; Miss Hllzabeth Hardin, of Essex Coun- ty, and Mrs. Norman Toerge, of Nassau. Miss Collett, starting the da: Toke over her nearest rival, Miss Hardin, only had one bad hole on her round. That was at the twelfth, where she lost her ball and took 7. A slip at the ninth, where her drive hit the barn close to the tee, cost her a 5 there, and she missed a wee putt on the home green for a 4. Even so, she had nothing to hamed of in her three rounds for the tourna- ment, scoring an 81 on the first day, an 80 Tuesday and an 85 yesterday. Her card yesterday follows: Out ...45 5 4 5 5 5 8 SAL In .....5 87 6 4 6 3 6 544-85 Miss Hardin, after being second at the end of thirty-six holes, slipped badly yesterday, taking a 96, That wax just the opposite to what happened to Miss Cummings, who, since taking 90 on the firat day, improved each round. Gi rreve COLLETT js going to Giants Knock Out of Box Cheeves, Cub Lad Who Baffled ’Em in Chicago @ Twirler Goes Up in Air After Umpire Gives Meusel a Pass, By Bozeman Bulger. HIS VIRGIL CHEEVES, who "T nitenea the Giants right out of their clothes out in Chicago and came on here to take one more strip out of their haughty hides, is a high- strung lad, Three inches of space between a baseball und the edge of the plate and a@ subsequent urgument over the mat- ter with Mr. Charles Moran, umpire, threw the lad into a temperamental 4t. It also threw a monkey wrench Into the Cubs’ bench, causing the dug out to be cleaned out, lock, stock and barrel and our enemy to lose the pastime. Virgil was going great suns when he squared himself to show our fan what he thought of the Giants, Right then bumps began to beset him. HMan- croft, for instance, got away with a tricky hit, causing the Cheeves eye- brows — ponderous, black affairs —to crinkle, Frankie Frisch forced out Bannle on an easy grounder to first. Frankie then stole second. Cheeves's white teeth showed in a smile as Heinie Groh lifted a high floater to Barbe: out In left. Thereupon Virgil set about to do pitching, He pitched pitched to Irish Meusel unt! the count stood two and three, Irish’? refusing to get excited, One more strike now and Mousel would be out and the Giants would Then some ana 0 back to the bench scoreless, the trouble started. “Four balls,"’ M announced Mr ran, the umpire. “Ball? Ball?" cried Virgil Cheeves in scorn and indignation. “Where di you get that stuff? It split'’—— Virgil placed his arms showed his long, white teeth glared petulantly. From the bench of the Cubs there came » yawp. According to them the side should have been retired and not a should have crossed the fatal pan “Go on and pitch,’ suggested Mr Moran, ‘it's hot and they (he meant us) are getting impatient.” Virgil saw red, blue, orange, In —the full prismatic Ust—but, jus same he went on and pliched, + luck would have It he pitched akimbo, ana rub eu the bat of Casey Stengel, the longest hit. Casey ever made. Everybody that was loose came home. ing!'’ went a one-base shot by Snyder. Stengel romped im So far that argument over three inches of space had netted the Giants five runs. Cheeves was pefspiring profusely.’ A whistle sounded from the Cubs’ bench. “Come out of there,” motioned Bill Killifer, And that was the end of Cheeves. Temperament had won him a good, hot plastering. The Giants were avenged. But Virgil avows he'll be back to- day. We'll see. The Cubs quite agreed with Virgl! in his judgment on that called ball It had cost them the ball game. In sharp staccato barks they lashed Mr Moran until he got plumb sick of It “For that you've all got to get ff,” he declared—and he meant it. Every living soul on the Cubs’ bench was ordered to march across the field and take up position on the grassy corner of the fence at the left foul line. All were in disgrace. The empty dugout yawned like a Mllow tooth, Moran gave the boys a double- crossing: by denying them the club- house. They would not get out of work that easily. No, they would sit right there and watch the ball gamo, bad as it might be, Nine of them sat Thus ended the day of the flag- raising, the day of great joy in base- ball land, Before the afternoon was'over the Cubs and Giants had used twenty-six players, including seven pitchers, The Cubs had four men—Cheeyes, Os- borne, Jones and Kaufmann—hurling the pill. The Giants had three—Doug- , Shea and Ryan, Shuffling Phil lasted until the third inning, when the Cubs potted him for a single, a double and a triple. Then Shea came out ofthe bullpen. They took Shea out to let Davy Robertson bat for him, and then Rosie Ryan was handed the old pill and told to heave {t with eclat, Rosie did that ’ thing. The Cubs scored no more. But the Giants kept right on whaling that old onion, They made eighteen hits. Social Addenda.
