PAUL GOLFER AS HEAD MAN New York UPV In the absence of Bobby Jones and George Von Elm, the United States Golf association has nominated Harrison R. John ston of St. Paul at the top of the seeded list (or the national ama teur golf championship starting August 31 at the Beverly country club, Chicago. The first ten follow: No. 1 Harrison R. Johnston, St. Paul. No. 2 Eugene Homans, Engle wood, N. J. No. 3 T. Philip Perkins, New York. No. 4 Johnny Goodman, Omaha, Neb. No. 5 Charles Seaver, I An geles. No. 6 Francis Oulmet, Boston.

NEW SWIM RECORD MADE BY GERMAN Leipzig, Germany A new women's world's record for the 500 meter breast stroke swim was claimed for Herta Wunder, when she covered the distance In elKht minutes, 32 seconds Friday. The former record, according to author ities here, was 8:33 2-10. The A. A. U. athletic almanac lists no world's 500 meter breast stroke record for women nor does It recofmize any American record for that distance in the breast stroke style. The fact that the Beverly Coun try club of Chicago, where the ap proaching national amateur golf championship is to be held, includes five holes rnted as par three should not incline the prospective compet itor toward a conviction that the short player Is getting a "good break." While, on the other hand, the ml lateral circumstances that of the four holes rated as par five not one can be reached with the sec ond shot, does not mean that the long hitter who usually counts on birdie fours as a great help in time of stress is going to be unduly discriminated against. The Ileverly layout will offer the rontestants and the galleries some thing rather different In the way or rhampionship tests. I think It will be Interesting perhnps acutely to. This same course or, rather, a course at the same location used to be regarded as one of the simp lest and easiest In the Chicago dis trict.

Sport By Alan The football depression, such as it Is, hasn't been felt by St. Mary's, the big little college founded in San Francisco in 1863, transferred to Oakland In 1889 and now located prosperously In the Moraga Valley, Contra Costa county, Cal., about 15 miles from Oakland. St. Mary's has grown from a stu dent body of only 62 In 1921 to an enrollment of 800 for 1931. It has developed correspondingly on the gridiron In ten years of coaching by Edward Patrick tSllp) Madlgan, alumnus of Notre Dame. It has turned out all -American stars, major league ball players. It showed a big ger Increase In football profits last fall than any other university In the far west. There arc a lot of other Interest ing facta about St. Mary's, all of which are easy to obtain, but it will 545 yards, are going to require at least three strokes before the put ting begins; and this circumstance, in a way, favors the accurate short player at the expense of the ex tremely long hitter, who won't be home with his second and may be in trouble with it. The second hole Is 545 yard.;; the seventh 558; the eleventh 590 and the eighteenth Is a fine flnlslier, of 572, a slight dogleg, with two real ly big wood shots needed to gain a favoraWc pitching point to the small and ws.l guarded green. ON'LY ONE TI'SIIOVEH As for the five one-shot holes, nlways a distinctive feature of any course, the spade and mashtc nib lick experts will find only one that resembles a set-up for tlielr dia bolical art No. 12, a pltvh of 110 yards over water to a small green. The mashle nlbllc artists had better make the most of this one. because the other one -shot ters are as fol lows: No. 3 A good bong with a spoon. 228 yards to a rather tightly trap ped surface. No. 6 The green Is an Is' and surrounded by sand, and the shot is of 187 yards. No. 10 A good crack of 173 yards with a No. 3 Iron, or 4 Iron for the powerful. No. 17 A good, big poke of 200 yards Is needed here. Not many deuces are recorded, by the way. So this course, with five par three holes, four par five holes and the rest par fours, allows a card of 36-3671, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the 36 -hole medal tent Is likely to be accomplished without anybody lowering the pres ent record of 142, held Jointly by the retired champion. Bobby Jones, and Ducky Corkran at the Merlon Cricket club. Max Advised To Lay Off Boxing Until November Berlin, V-On the advice of his physicians. Max 8c h mellng, world's heavyweight champion, will do no boxing until November his man ager, Joe Jacobs, said Friday. After some preliminary gymnasium work, the cham pion will appear In exhibi tions In London and Pari, Jacobs said, with an eye to possibility of a title match with Mickey Walker either at Miami, Fla.. or Atlantic City, N. J, In February Jacobs also foresaw the possibility of a match In June with Jack Dempsey. On the basis of cablegrams he has received from the United States. Jacobs said, he felt confident Dempsey would make a determined effort to get In shape In an attempt to regain the title. IN OPENING WIGHTMAN CUP PLAY Sprits J. Gould serve the present purpose to note that the "Galloping Gaels" open the coming football season against Southern California, meet Califor nia a week later and close with the University of Oregon and Southern Methodist. If they could get the game, they would be glad to play Stanford, too. WELCH GETS POST Football coaching ranks have re cruited another all-American per former in Gilbert (Gibby) Welch, who won all-star recognition as a halfback with the University of Pittsburgh in 1927. Welch Is the new head coach at Morris Harvey college, Barbours ville. W. Va. A West Virginia boy. Gibby has been welcomed to his first coaching post; given a squad of 60 men and a slate of 10 games, seven of which will be played at night In Huntington. His knowledge of the Warner sys tem as well as his experience on the professional gridirons should equip Welch for a good getaway. ANY GOOD AT CROQUET? West Virginia Wesleyan's chief offering for the gridiron spotlight this season will be Clifford Gib Battles, the halfback who ran wild last year over a considerable num ber of ten yard stripes. In fact, Battles reeled off more long gallops for touchdowns than any other play er in the country, so for as records reveal, and was rewarded with hon orable mention In the Associated Press All-American consensus of 1930. From Robert H. Her7er of Wes leyan I have these further details on the prowess of young Mr. Battles: "He is 6 feet 2, weighs 195 pounds and punts, posses and directs the team. He Is In my estimation the greatest all-around athlete West Virginia Wesleyan ever has had and will no doubt have a blp year this fall. He has twice been captain of the basketball team, played on the undefeated baseball nine at first base, was No. 1 man on the varsity tennis team and ran the 440, did the hurdles, the high jump and brond jump In track. In addition he Is In structor In golf and swimming." All of which will do, as they say. until Wesleyan takes up the sport of rowing. BENEFIT GAME TO BE PLAYED SUNDAY Mt. Angel The last baseball game of this season Is scheduled for next Sunday at the Ebner ball pary here, when Mt. Angel and Monitor, neighboring towns, will play a ben efit game. The gate receipts will be divided between the two teams, Mon itor to give her share to her two injured players, and Mt, Angel to split hers with the players. The game promises to be an ex citing one, as Monitor won the Marlon county grange champion ship, and Mt. Angel was second high in the Cascade league, northern di vision.

BRANDT PITCHES 1 6TH WIN FOR BOSTON BRAVES 'Br the Auoctftted Prut) Ed Brandt, who has been pitching for the Boston Braves for several seasons without even threatening the .500 mark In the averages, not only has surpassed all his own hurl ing marks this year but has made himself one of the best southpaws in the National league. Brandt turned in his 16th victory of the year Thursday when the! Braves downed the Pittsburgh PI-! rates 2 to 1 in the ten-inning first j game of a double header. He has lost eight contests, giving him an aver age of .667, which only Bill Walker of New York has beaten among the leagues left handers. A year ago Brandt could win only four games out of 22. Now he has more games in the "won' column than any rival in the league. Despite Brandt's victory, the Braves could not gain in their strug gle with Pittsburgh for fifth place. The Pirate. come back strong against Bill Sherdel In the second game and won 5 to 4 as Pie Trainor drove in three runs. What gaining was done In the National league Thursday went to the credit of the New York Giants. Some timely hitting behind Carl Hubbell, with Fred Leach's homer as n climax, gave New York a 3 to 1 victory over Larry Benton and the Cincinnati Reds. This triumph put the Giants a full game ahead of the defeated Chicago Cubs and 86 games behind the league leading St. Louis Cardinals, who were rained out in Philadelphia. The Cubs could make no headway against Watson Clark of Brooklyn until the ninth Inning and by that time, Brooklyn had come through with an eighth Inning rally against Charley Root that netted them four runs and a 4 to 1 victory. Jack Quinn relieved Clark with the bases full In the ninth and checked a Chi cago rally. The Cubs got only four hits. Heavy hitting asain played the big part in the American league pro gram and with It came the broken record that has become almost a dally occurrence In the junior circuit. fearl Averlll, Cleveland slugger, crashed his 27th home run of the year as the Indians made It three straight over Washington's second place Senators by a 10 to 8 count. The homer broke the Cleveland rec ord set last year by Eddie Morgan, who also clouted a four bagger Thursday as one of the 17 hits off Marbcrry and Fischer. This defeat, the fourth In succes sion, left Washington only 3'i games ahead of the New York Yan kees, who used the home run route to a 7-3 victory over St. Louis. Lou Joe Sewell hit for the circuit, and Gehrig hit his 33rd of the year, then finally Babe Ruth crashed out his 34th four bagger with the bases full In the ninth Inning to provide the winning margin. Vernon Gomes gave the Browns only one hit In eight innings then weakened with the first Yankee shutout of the year in sight. The Chicago White Sox won their third game in 17 starts against the Philadelphia Athletics by pounding Walte Hoyt and Eddie Rommel for 19 hits. The final count was U to 6 against the world's champions, giv ing the Sox another tie for sixth place.

Petrolic, a real gamester, extended his heavier op ponent to the limit and the 12,000 spectators who paid an estimated $35,000 for the bout witnessed a brilliantly contested battle.

One result of night baseball has been to put a crimp in the wigwag ging signals from catcher to pitcher. In day baseball those my sterious battery signals which so intrigued small boys were used to Indicate a curve, fast ball, slow ball or what was wanted. Elaborate steps were taken to conceal them. The catcher hid his hand between his legs and under his mit, making the signal visible only to the pitcher and the infield. But In night baseball they cannot easily be read in the shadows. They must be done openly. The result Is that ex pert wigwag experts quickly diagnose enemy signs. The Atlanta Crackers have found It necessary to change signals every inning, and In some games even more often.
