By Paul MIcaelMin,

ROCKPORD, 111, Aug. 23, (fly-A
stampede ni on today for qualifying
berth In the Western amateur golf
Championship tournament.
Finding the range of the fairways
and traps with almost unerring ac
curacy yesterday, the field was so
close that It looked like a pair of
75 s in the ao-hole test would be the
highest limit to clinch a place among
the 32 who will continue the battle
for the crown now worn by Don Moe
at Portland, Ore. Moe was the only
safe man In the record field of 178
alerters, automatically qualifying as
champion.
Elehelberger Leads.
Barry Elehelberger, Stanford uni
versity senior, was out In front of
the closely bunched field In the med
alist campaign. Banging magic pitch
shots, he toured the championship
Rockford Country club stretch In
80-34 70 to clip par by one shot.
Two Chlcagoans of note, George
Dawson and Johnny Lehman, press
ed him with 71's, while six others, in.
eluding shotmakera like Qua More
land of Dallas, Texas, and Dick Mar
tin, Chicago district champion, trail
ed with 72's. There was a flock of
74's and 76's, Just to toss the entire
struggle Into a grab bag affair.
Evans Cards 75. ,
Charles JSeaver, another fitanford
university star of golf and football
fame, was among the 73 shooters with
Charles "Chick" - Evans, Jr, Chicago,
eight tlmea holder of the title einng
with almost every crown In hit hey
day, wasn't so far away with a 75.
As the field lined up for the final
ID-hole qualifying test today, a fear
ful eye was cast toward the 12th
bole, a long uphill stretch blossom
ing Into a long, narrow and danger
ous green.
Many found their nemesis on that
feole yesterday, notably Dawson, who
tamo to that spot three under par.
guot tangled up with the traps and
wound up with 'a seven. Rodney
BUss, Nebraska state champion, took
n eight on the same hole.
The only semblance of an upset
tn the first day's round was the play
of Keefe Carter, Oklahoma City, for
mer champion of the event. Carter,
playing with Elehelberger, took an 80
and followed through by taking
train for home.

FREE OF BLEMISH
BIDDING OPPONENTS' SUITS.
By Tom O'Nell.
Frank Nugent, of the marine and
field club of Brooklyn, la on of the
players who seldom, If ever, bid flams.
Soma such players, whose average in
social and tournament games runs
fairly high, are usually content with
certain rubber and game In prefer
ence to the risk of a aet of a trick
or two through and unfavorable and
unforseeable distribution.
If slams are to be bid, however,
Nugent has become convinced that
the most certain approach to it is an
overcall of a suit bid by an oppo
nent, when euch an overcall shows
no losses to the overcall In g aide In
such a suit, that Is either the ace
and king alone or a void.
Nugent sat north when a vulner
able alam was contracted and made

It seems likely th Yankees, In ad
dltlon to winning the American lea
gue flag in canter, will go right on
and round out the campaign without
having tasted a shutout defeat.
They have scored at least one run
In each of their 119 engagement to
date, and with the big guns of their
attack, Ruth and Oehrlg, going bet
ter every day, opposing pitchers ap
parently face a hopeless task In try
ing to blank Joe McCarthy's sluggers,
No big league club ever has com
pleted a season without at least one
shutout. The Tanks have only 36
games to go to crack the record.
Irving (Bump) Had ley. Journeyman
righthander of the St. Louis Browns,
came mighty near applying the brakes
yesterday when he set the leaders
down, 6 to 1, on four widely scattered
hits.
Lefty Grove piloted the Athletics
to an 8 to 1 victory over the White
Sox. In addition to pitching very
high class ball, he belted a home-
run with two aboard and scored two
runs.
Fred (Flrpo) Marberry of th Wash
ington Senator turned Cleveland
back with one bit and beat the In
dians. 4 to 0.
The Boston Red Sok gained a 6 to 5
triumph over Detroit.
The Chicago Cuba went three full
lengths ahead of the field In the Na
tional league by trimming the Phil
lies, 8 to 4, while Brooklyn was Idle
and Pittsburgh was splitting a pair
with the olant.
Heine Melne pitched the Pirates to
a 6 to 1 win over the Olanta in the

TALENT 10 PLAY
IN LOCAL SERIES
Another victory was added to Tal
ent's already long list of wins Sunday
at Klamath Falls in their return
game with the Ewauna Red Socks.
With Vie score 15-2 the game was
never close. Cook and Clnaater, the
regular battery for Talent, held the
Reds scoreless, to the seventh Inning.
when they brought in one run with
the other coming In the eighth.
This last win leaves Talent alone
In the lead for the champions, Ip of
southern Oregon, with Grants Pass
the only .other possible contender.
Grants Pass was challenged by Talent
for August 38, when Both teams had
that date open, but for some reason
they have drawn their tentative ac
ceptance and now do not wish to
compete with Talent. Thus Grant
Pass Is naturally eliminated In the
sectional contest with Portland's West
Side Babes when that team comes
to the Medford fair grounds for a
three-game championship series with
the winners of the south, September
4 and 6. As this Portland team haa
the championship of the northern
territory, the game Sunday, the 4th,
and the double header Labor day,
are expected to draw large crowds of
fans to the local field.
