MATCH HELD DURING RAIN Woodland Star Finds Trouble Ire quently and Succumbs at Last . on 38th Green. BEES HAVE HITTING CHEW PITTSBURG. Aug-. 21 After a 24- liour reign as a favorite for champion ship honors In the national amateur tournament being; played at Oakmont club, franris Quimet late this after- Boon was eliminated by J. Wood Piatt, North Hnls club. Philadelphia, one up on the 38th hole. The defeat of the famous Woodland club star by Piatt was as sensational a golfing feat as the contest that narked the passing of "Chick" Evans yesterday at the hands of Ouimet. As a setting to the match a terrific thun- der storm burt over players and spec tators Just after the Aew England ex pert had scuared the contest on the home green and the two extra holes were fought out in a pouring rain. It was the second heavy storm of the day. and as a result the cour5e was badly slowed up. both greens and fair ways being dead, conditions which were reflected in the play of all the golfers participating in the third round. Com pared with his work of Wednesday against Kvanj, Ouimet's play fell off badly, but it Is doubtful if this was due as much to weather and course conditions as the natural reaction fol lowing the strain of yesterday's match. Ouimet's stroke score this afternoon was 170 for ? holes, as compared with I n-irl. Seattle. MORMONS BOAST OF SIX SELECT .300 CIRCLE.

In the heavy rain the pair teed off again and although Piatt played cleanly all the way while Ouimet was in trou ble, the thirty-seventh was halved. On the thirty-eighth and final hole. Ouimet's first two shots were In the rough while Piatt's second dropped -within four feet of the pin. Ouimet took three to reach the green and his fourtn was a foot from the cup. Piatt rolled up to the lip of the hole on Ills third and ended the championship chances of New England's last repre sentative by dropping the few-inch putt for a four and the match.

In BOUT MIT BE REAL SCRAP O'DOWD-BRITTOX GO ROUSES FAXS INTEREST. Inability to Land on Champ Welter May Be Big Factor in Outcome of 8 -Round Battle. Tonight Is the night of he big- fistic battle. The principals on this occasion will be Mike O'Dowd, middleweight champion of the world, and Jack Brit ton. wearer of the weiterweignt crown. They will battle eight rounds to a newspaper decision at Newark, N. J. The bout may Just fizzle out as one of those "affairs," which attracted a KOOd deal of attention because of the prominence and prestige of the boxers. but on the other nana tnere is every chance in the world for something: to drop. Jack Britton. although as much Dai not been said of his ring powers as some of the other leading fistic lights of the present time, is one of the great est battlers that ever drew on a glove. Britton, although 33 years old, has been fighting for nearly 16 years and today is the champion of his class without a peer. O'Dowd la a rugged, aggressive, willing mixer and carries punch in either mitt, out to land it on Britton will be the worry that will occupy his mind. Dan Morgan, Britton a manager. Is pulling the same stuff that Billy Nolan pulled on Joe Gans at Goldfield, Nev., in the Jack Britton-Mike O'Dowd con test. The manager of the welterweight champion forced the middleweight tltleholder to post a forfeit that he BT HARRY EDDAS. Eileen Riggin, New York Women's Swimming association, has been de clared without doubt the greatest child mermaid the world has ever known. This 12-year-old girl tips the scales at 70 pounds and has not only displayed all around ability never before ap proached by a girl of her age, but her feats in free style, breast stroke and back stroke swimming as well as in fancy diving have made many of her full-grown rivals blush. A few days ago she caused a decided surprise by entering the 880-yard race of the Women's Senior Metropolitan swimming championship. Against her were pitted three national title holders, but nevertheless she finished in the awards. She defeated a former Ameri can long-distance champion in doing so. The day after the 880 she thrashed the 100-yard straightaway, through lumpy water and a slight contrary tide. In 1:24 S-5, better time than won cham pionship laurels in several districts this year. In 1917 the 100 was captured over the same course in 1:18. New York's mermaids have out pointed in national title tests the girls of all other cities so that today they stand out as country-wide leaders in water sports and present a formidable obstacle to the ambitions of the ablest newcomers. But notwithstanding Ell leen finished third In the national 440 last week, a new record was set in this event. At breast and back-stroke she has had no opportunity so far to meet women opponents, but her perform ances in the junior class leave no doubt that she is in line for the high est honors. One of the most remarkable features of this coming champion swimmer is the finished form she has acquired. Whether she uses the crawl, the back or breast stroke her style is well-nigh perfect. It is a revelation, they say, to see her glide tlyough the water. She goes so smoothly and gracefully that her movements .seem no effort even when going at top speed. a The Golden Gate swim Is drawing the attention of the swimming fans. As usual this event is being staged by the San Francisco Examiner over the same course as in past years, from Fort Point to Lime Rock. This Is the Pacific coast classic swim and many new sug gestions have been offered to make It safer for the entrants. It is proposed to stretch a fish net across the Gate on the ocean side so that when the rip tide sets in no swimmers will be carried out to sea. The- city fireboats patrol the course as well as innumer able launches to guard the swimmers, but to play safe the net is to be stretched. The swim will have to start at full flood tide, which will be about 9:42 A. M., on the date picked (not an nounced yet). This will give the swim mers a full three-quarters of an hour in which to swim before the rip-tide sets in. The d'stance is seven-eighths of a mile. Clyde Swendson, Los Angeles Ama teur Athletic club, will get away this week from Los Angeles to compete in the national high diving champion ships scheduled for Rye Beach, N. Y., August 30. Billy Williams, also of the angel Institution, Is due in Los Angeles in a few days, after spending the past two years in France. Williams gave an exhibition of diving at the inter allied games at Paris July 4. A new world's record for a mile swim for women was set Friday last by Ellison McBain of the Duluth Boat club when stffe covered the distance in 35 minutes, 35 3-5 seconds. The record amateur mile swim for women in salt water is held by Claire Galligan (110) 15 turns, 31 minutes, 19 3-5 seconds. Annette Kellerman negotiated the dis tance in 32 minutes, 44 seconds, in Aus tralian water. XORTHWEST CHAMPION TAKES DRY-FLY EVEXT.
