(AP) Dr. Oscar F. Willing of Portland. Ore., playing over the rain-soaked Beverley course with George Volgt ot New York, saw ' Ills qualifying chances go glimmering today whon he reached the turn In , 41, five over par. In the second round of the United States Amateur Oolf championship qualifying test. He had an 80 In the first round. Willing, one of the "seeded' favor ltes and a finalist In 1029, found numerous difficulties with the casual ' water and the soggy greens, as well as Beverley's natural hazards. He rallied, ' .however, to get par figures on the last ; three holes of the outward Journey, Volgt Rcems Hafo Volgt, who had a shaky 78 yester day,, was out In 38, only two over par, : and seemed well on the safe side. Johnny Bhlelds, the Seattle star. with a good 7 to work on. banged his way over the soggy premises to ' the turn In a fine 37, only one over par. . Rain was coming down In a tor rent when Dr. Willing and Volgt : started. They were the socond pair to tee off. The rain let up Bround the middle of the morning but the players found so much casual water with their shots through the fairway that It was neo essary to lift most of them to more playable turf. 4 L FOR LONG PAODLE IN CHILLY WATER TORONTO, 8opt. 1, (AP) With . the greater pnrt of $10,000 awaiting Vie winner, more than 300 of North America's lending professional swim mers are expected to plunge Into Lake Ontario tomorrow for the start of the IB-mile Canadian .national swim marathon, If history repeats Itself not nearly that many will finish the gruelling test back and forth along the shore. It all depends on the temperature of the water. Yestorday It varied from 32 to 66 degrees as compared to 73 degrees last Wednesday when the women's ten-mile swim was held. 1 Marvin Nelson Fort Dodge, Iowa, swimmer, who won last years, heads the pack.

Veeck and Manager Ho.era Hornsby, that Is the way Owner - Wrlnley of the local Nt atonal league Dasebaii team feels about It. "I like Wilson personally," he said yesterday, "but he U not delivering and ts uo good to the club now. I appreciate what he did last season and the season before, but that does not help now.

(AP) The al ready much discussed "balloon" golf ball will be discussed again tonight by the executive committee of the United States Golf association, but it is not considered likely a change will be made. Agitation against the larger, light er sphere, so strong last winter and. pring auer it was aaopted ny the U. 8. O. A., appearsdwlndllng. It was believed t,he committee would defor Judgment until the an nual meeting next winter, or even might decide on another year's trial. Experiments with other typos of golf oaus, especially one of the samo di ameter as the new globe, but as heavy as the old one, have not proven particularly successful, leaving a shift back to the. old ball as the only alternative.

Almost any day now, Wesley Ter rell Is likely to discover that he has batted himself right out of his present Job with the Cleveland Indians. With every passing week It becomes more apparent he never was cut out to be a pitcher. It's quite true the young right hander rang up 35 victories last year and already has scored 18 this season, but that doesn't alter the fact that he has been, more or less wasting his time. Rls real career seems to -lie on the other end of the firing line, Wea had one of his most spacious days yesterday. In addition to hold ing Chicago to six hits and register ing his eighteenth victory, 15 to 6, he plastered opposing pitchers for two home-runs and a single, drove In five runs and himself scored four. Hoyt Blanks Reds. Waite Hoyt, the former "schoolboy wonder," pitched his second straight shutout as the Athletics defeated Wiley Moore and the Boston Red Sox, 3 to 0. He yielded seven hits. Moore allowed only atH, but one was a pinch single by Cramer In the seventh and another was Jimmy Foxx's 24th homer. Washington rallied to score four times In the sixth inning and two more in the seventh, knock Herb Pennock from the hill and defeat the Yankees, 6 to 5. Lou Gehrig's 38th homer with three on In the fifth ac counted for four Yankee runs. The Detroit Tigers, behind Earl Whltehlll's six-hit hurling, downed the3t. Louis Browns, 8 to 3, in their series opener. John McQraw's New York Giants had that little extra punch necessary to capture a pair of close ones from the Boston Braves, 3 to 2 and 4 to 3. 4 With Rod and Gun ACROSS L Moccasin 4.

Ed Walker made the Investigation Sunday and reports that the fish are getting over the falls with more ease than when the water was high. They are not ' forced to fight the current now and are going over In great numbers. Prom the middle of the afternoon until dark he saw 30 ateelhead below the falls and four went over while he was watching. A week ago Saturday, Sunday and Monday better than 1000 went over the dam at Savage Rapids, Rainbow Oibson reports, and a few fish are still going over.

Jy ALAN CIOIJLD ASSCX3ATEOJ?RESSSPOHTS.EDlTC Whether or not Benny Leonard comes back to the fistic frolics with anything like a show of his old prow ess, it is a great piece of showman ship at this time to toko the wraps off the one-time king of the light weights and send him Into action. There has been a steadily dimin ishing number of real drawing cards in every boxing division over the past rew years. Leonard was the last of the great lightweight champions In an era which this division was second only to the heavyweights In popular ap peal. Tha retirement of Dcmpsev and Tunney left the heavyweight brigade staggering. It has reached a point where the best prospective card is a meeting between two comparatively inexperienced youngsters, Charley iteia.an ana steve Hamas. The light heavyweights haven't had much crowd appeal since the days of Delaney and Berlenbach. Only 6,000 cosn customers saw Roaenblcom "fight" siattery for the 175 pound title in Brooklyn and they probably reyreicea ic. Offhand, it Isn't easy to name the champions In a number of other di visions, let alone the contenders. Tony Canzoneri, the present light weight champion, has real class and so have a few others, such as Mc Larnln and Chocolate, Young Corbett and Loughran, but the list is not long. Sterlhead fishing Is Improving in the Rogue, with catches reported from Oallce to Trail. Charles Reames reports the largest catch of the week. He landed 14 steelhead Sat urday and Sunday while fishing the Rattlesnake nine near hts cabin. He caught them all on a fly. This run of steelhead Is wel comed with much surprise by sports men as the fish seldom come In before a rain. HOW THEY STAN D (By the Awl a ted Press) American.

'LiRhtwelphts' Leonard is the only lightweight champion who ever drew a "gate" In excess of $100,000. He did it not once, but five times, and twice was the central figure In two remarkable turnouts. , Benny's two title bouts with Lefty Lew Tendler of Philadelphia, the first at Boyle's Thirty Acres In 1932 and the second t the Yankee Stadium in 1023, drew more than 9800,000. This is equivalent to what the present heavyweight champion Mnx Schmellng, has attracted in his last two title bouts with Sharkey and Strlbllng. The receipts of $452,6-18 for the sec ond Leonard-Tend ler scrap stand as the high water mark for all time for any bout outside the heavyweight ranks. Leonard's five bouts with Tendler, Kansas, Brltton and Mitch ell drew more than 91.200,000. It was an open secret that Leon ard and Tendler were not even close to the lightweight limit of 135 pounds when they fought at the Yankee Sta dium In 1923, although It was for the championship. The welghing-ln was conducted in private and the official announcer, with his tongue In his cheek, said Leonard scaled exactly 135 and Ten ti ler within an ounce or two of this figure. As a matter of fact, both were over 14C when they climbed through the ropes that night. Ttennrh Lrlner Leonard, whose real name was Lelner. had a tremendous following among the Jewish fight fans of New York. They idolized Benneh and have been looking in vain for his successor sucl flashy boxers as Sid Terrla and Ruby Goldstein have failed to make the long, long climb to the top. Leonard, matched with some out standing fighter like McLarnln would come closer to packing either of New York's big ball parks this fall than any brace of heavyweights in captivity. plres. but for 37 holes played secutlvely. Bobby has done this more thu once. With this 87 at Plostino, in iujso, uib .neb uino noies of tin previous round, at the Chicago Con try ciuo, leu. w a a on the card-ny It may have been the first alas his next round there. Anyway, tb score was 99 for 37 consecuttt holes, which la by no means . i simple as you might fancy, hearing about It. Bobby's Ambition. . This, Incidentally, is one of Bobby Jones' unrealized alms In life. I remember when he rimmed the cup from 30 feet away on the 18th green at Flossmoor, when he was finishing an amazing round In the Warren K. Wood Memorial tourna ment in 1928. The first thing he said after tapping the ball in for a birdie 4 and a score of 37-30 67, was: "Gee, I wish I'd holed that one! I've never broken 30 on either side of a regular course." Trying to console htm, I told him I knew of a number of other golfers who hadn't, either. In that same round, he had the same score for nine consecutive holes .that Sheppard did on the first nine at Alameda. Beglning with the eighth hole, after a sour start, Bobby's caijd read: 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-3 28. One of the 3's, at the tenth hole, was an eagle, gained In a most shocking fashion by holing out from a bunker beside the green. But this 28 was spread over two sides of the big Flossmoor course. Another chemished ambition ol many experts Is to "break 100"-r-not for 18 holes, as the duffer as- Shoot Your Age. One fantastic mark which I ltity do not expect Bobby to reach u fe shoot his age. This la being ux -what talked about In connect with veteran players who contim to score well. . While on the coast last spring l heard of one man who had doaii 87 at the age of 84, and another vho had a 74 to his credit, at 70 yna But if anybody ever gets the ye:, and the Btrokes to coincide, on u thine like a retrular coif coum.'. well, I think he'll have one nan all to himself. j Too bad Mr. Rockefeller doenV play the entire round once in i while.
