TOLEDO, Ohio, July' 7. (ff)
Blllle Burke, Iron man from
qreenwleh, Conn., sat on the
throne of American Kolf today,
ylytor of tho game's longest and
bitterest fought championship
marathon.
Ws mighty surefire war clubs
brought homo the big prize yes
terday when he outlasted and
out-shot the stout heartod Ckorgo
Von Elm, big business man of golf
from Los Angeles, by a single shot
after a 72-hole overtime battle
over the sun-scorched Inverness
layout.
, (Jolt champions will come and
go but the stirring battlo between
the new king and Von Kim never
will bo forgotten as long as the
game endures and the boys gather
round the "18th hole" to talk
about the old Bcotch paatlmo.
(v.r i - 144-Holo Haltle
y.'jt was a bottle which lasted 144
holes and was not decided until
th last stroke; a fight which
found the two deadlocked for first
place with iitS's against a field of
149 rivals after 72 regulation
holes, another teat that found thorn
all In a stalemate after 86 holos
df pvertlme with 14'e and a thril
ling skirmish which ended only
after , It more nerve wracking
holes over the sand traps and nar
row fairways of Inverness..
, Von Elm, who sank a 15-foot
putt for a birdie three on the home
green to tie Burke In regulation
time Saturday and then rammed
home another from ID foet on tho
same green In the first play-off
Sunday to shove It Into another
btuy-off, couldn't duplicate his
(eats yesterday when the big show
down came, but It wouldn't have
helped him anyway. After another
ding dong battle which saw one
fnd then the other com up Into
he lead, Burke went one shot
ahead on the 12nd green and ex
tended his margin to two on the
Hfh.
j i Von Klin Falters
It was too late and too much for
Von Elm to make up that time and
(he long endurance buttle endod
With Burke freeilng him out easily
With par golf on the tilth and with
cafe and sane golf on the final
green, where he calmly measured
three easy putts fur a five to Von
Elm's par four, Buth wore almost
too tired to accept congratulations
as the wild gullery, which had
formed the course all day, swept
(toward them.
Burke, an ex-cuddy from Nuug
Stuck, Conn., and son of Lithu
anian American parents. Is rated
fca one of the steadiest golfors In
Ma game and promises to be a
hrtirthy sucoossor to mighty Bobby
"Jones, who surrendered the title
Wjlhout firing a shot. Ills best
faarne la his Iron shots, the ones
which kept him heads up with Von

Wtle.

LEAVERS INVADE
Jumbo Elliott Turns in Fifth
Victory Over Birds for
Phillies ' ; Defeat Costs
Tie for Third Place
Tly Gaylo Talbot, Jr.
(Associated Press BporU Writer)
It still Is a matter of conjecture
whother the Brooklyn Kolilns got
the better of the denl whereby
they parted with Jumbo Jim Elli
ott and two other players In ex
change for Lefty O'Doul und Fres
co Thompson.
At any rata, It would appear
that the Jovial Undo Robbie made
a tactical error In turning Elliott
over to a club In the eiime league.
Since Joining the l'hllllos the big
fellow has pitched fine ball against
all comers, but he has been par
ticularly poisonous to his former
mates. But for the treutment they
huve received at Elliott's hands,
the Robins would be In tho thick
of tho Nutlonal league pennant
fight today.
Wins Fifth Game
Facing hlB furmer pnln yester
day for tho seventh time this year,
Elliott turned In his fifth victory
over the flock, 6 to a. He held
them to six hits, four of which
enmo In the Inst three Innings, and
was their master all the way. Hal
Lee, who accompanied Big Jim to
1'hllndelphla, also took , healthy
slap at his former comrades In tho
form of a home run with one on.
There acorns to be a law, Inci
dentally, against tho Robins win
ning six straight. Yesterday mark
ed the fourth time this season they
huve met defeat after a run of five
consecutive victories. The reverse
coot them a virtual tie with tho
aiants for third place, as rain held
the McQrawmen Idle at Boston.
Cards Rally In Sth
The St. Louis Cardinals wont
Into the final Inning one down to
the Chicago Cuba, but thoy emerg
ed with a 6 to 6 victory. A walk
to Hparky Adama and auccesalvo
doublea by Jim Collins and Wally
Itoottger scored two runs and de
feated Bob Smith.
Washington and Philadelphia,
meeting In tho second game of
their Important American league
sorles, might have been battling
yet but for a downpour that clear
ed tho diamond In the lust of the
eighth. Neither Rube Walberg,
tho champions' stnr southpaw, nor
Bump Hudley had allowed a run
up to that time.
The Cleveland Indians wont on
another scoring rnmpago to snunre
their aerloa with Detroit, 1 to 4.
