278 oh Hand for Opening of
-Historic Sport Event
At Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 20.
(AP) The- we tern open golf
championship, a tournament that
has grown and then dwindled in
Importance as a classic since 1899,
cornea back again tomorrow with
the largest field in Its history
striving to win the crown now
hell by Abe Espinosa, the golfing
toreador from Chicago.
Two hundred and seventy-eight
wielders of the wood and iron
from 17 states and Mexico, in
cluding a dozen or more shot mak
ers who rank as perennial threats
to every major golfing title, are
entered in the championship
struggle which will be decided
over 72 holes of medal play on
the Ozaukee country club course.
So large Is the field that to
morrow and Thursday will be used
for the Initial lS-hole qualifying
round. The low 150 and ties from
the first round will play 18 addi
tional holes Friday and the low 64
and ties at the end of those first
rounds will sett:e the title dispute
between themselves In a SB-hole
final Saturday.
Because of the fast field, which
includes three former national
open champions and past and
present holders of other Important
titles, Abe Espinosa will hay the
-experience of defending his cham
pionship with faint hopes. Some
of the "big sLots' of golfdom who
are fighting against him are Tom
my Armour, former national open
champion from Orchard Lake,
Mich., Gene Sarazen, of Flushing,
L. I., another former national open
king and one of the most brilliant
players on the links:
Jock Hutchison of Chicago, a
former British open title holder
who appears to be back of his
game after a few years lapse, -Hor
ton Smith, the sensational blonde
sharpshooter from Joplln, Mo
whose last victory was in the
French open; "Wild Bill" Mehl
horn, the in and outer from New
York; Al Eepinora, who was de
f eated by Bobby Jones In the play

GORDON PICKED
BY MANY FANS
Sailor Lad Found Favorite in
Various Quarters
Battle Nears
as
Fight fans who have been va
cillating back and forth between
the training quarters of Teddy
Pox and Willie Gordon a goodly
percentage of them anyway are
picking the ex-gob to win Thurs
day night's main event at the ar
mory. This verdict Is based partly on
the fact that Gordon has won
twice from Benny Pels, who so
far has broken even with Fox,
winning one decision and losing
the other. But It is also based
partly on the speed and clever
ness Gordon Is showing In his
workouts.
If Gordon does win, there won't
bo any alibis from the Fox camp.
Teddy has been working hard, and
one glimpse of him as he performs
in the armory gym is sufficient to
convince anyone that ho is in
shape arms, legs, wind and ev
erything.
Pets Plans to
Cnalleng Winner
Pels, by the way. will be here
to challenge the winner Thursday
night. He still thinks he Is en
titled to a deciding fight against
Fox, but he wouldn't be averse to
taking on Gordon again. Their
two fights in Portland were among
the hest ever staged there, fans
who saw them have declared.
Matchmaker Harry Plant has
signed up a couple of heavy-
weignts for a four round scrap;
Bob Kelly, who plased the fans
with his gameness when matched
against a heavier youth from Jef
ferson several months ago. and
Bob Hagan. The latter is also a lo
cal boy and this will be his first
appearance In the ring here. How
ever, he has shown a lot of ag
gressiveness and action while
serving as a sparring partner In
Gordon't camp, and Plant is con
fident that he will make things
interesting for Kelly.
Art Akers, southpaw whose in
troduction to the fans on the last
card, was an auspicious one, has a
tough assignment in meeting
Charles O'Leary of Portland In the
six round semi-final. O'Leary has
appeared here before, knocking
out Mclntyre a couple of years
ago.
That leaves only two bouts to
bo arranged, and the matchmaker
has a world of material to pick
from. Not only are there a lot of
well known local scrappers avail
able, but some new ones are show
ing up.
If he could find an opponent
for him. Plant could send the fa
mous Harry Sioux into the ring,
Sioux a couple of years ago was
on the way to the top in the 126
pound region, and nobody could
stop him until he met Young Na-
tionalista. He is now in Salem and

Spectacular Winner Over
British Tennis Veteran
FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 20. ( AP) Winsome little
Sarah Palfrey, of BrooWine, Mass., stole the spotlight
away from the other feminine tennis stars on the courts of
the west side stadium this afternoon.
Not even the straight-set victories of such famous in
ternational figures as Helen WUU.O
Helen Jacobs and Betty Nut hall
could compare in pppular appro
al with the dramatic match in
which the smiling Sarah out
played the British veteran, Mrs.
qorothy Shepherd-Barron, 8-l,
6-0, 6-4, to reach the third round
of the national women's cham
pionship. Fairly earning her victory, Miss
Palfrey scored no less than 50
placements in the three sets while
Mrs. Shepherd-Barron was tally
ing 16. From the base line she
was steadier than the
English
woman with the wierd
