Cotton Defeats Shute 6 and 5 for $2,000 Purse and World Crown PAGE FOUR BRITISH CHAMPION HANDS AMERICAN GOLFING LESSON Greatest Golfer' ' Poses United States P. G. A. Title holder Never Able to Gain Lead In Match With Winner of British Open WALTON HEATH, Eng.. July U (AP) Henry. Cotton, British opn golf champion, today defeated Dnny Bhute, United 8tatea P. O. A. tltla holder, S and , In their 73-hole match for a puree of M00 and "the unofficial world championship." After making the lsst turn with a four-hole advantage, Cotton went dormle six by sinking a 15-foot putt for birdies on the fldth and th holes. They halved the last hole with par fours. The vlotory, following his sensa tional triumph In the British open last week, gave Cotton 13000 of the nurse. The other 500 went to Bnute, who never waa In front after the half-way mark. They entered the final 36 holes today with Cotton leading by two holes. Their cards: Bhute In - . 8484 Cotton In 5334 Shute Hits Spectator On the 04 th shute hit a woman and then holed a stymie to gain half and furnish the only laugh of the match. The American hit a wild low hook from the tee which struck Mrs. B. A. Griffin of London. The ball didn't Injur her but Just rolled In her skirt and stayed then until Shute arrived. '"Quest I'll have to us a hand mashle on that one," , sad Denny, laughing. He then proceeded to hit the ball on the green and finally hopped a stymie to tie the hole with a five, i They started the second day with Cotton two up on the Winchester, Mass, pro at the end of 89 holes and favored three to two to win. Cotton ran his lesd to five holes on the B3nd, where Bhute looked up on an approach, shot and took a bo gey five. They tied the tSrd In or thodox pars and Cotton maintained his lesd on the 84th by chipping back from the rough and sinking a five-footer for a four. Cotton popular There aeems to be little doubt that silent Cotton Is sbout the moat pop ular golf champion with the galler ies that England has had In a long time. Henry doesn't mix much with his fellow pros, but the "000 fans who wandered over the Walton Heath course In the rain yesterday to see him play gave ample proof that he la a real drawing card. The spectatora saw the usual fins exhibition of golf end one of the famous Cotton tantrums. Cotton became perturbed on the 31st where he drove Into the rough end needed three shots to get out. After No. 4 finally had floated to the edge of the green, he gave a nearby fence a sound thumping with his club. 10 GIVE ITALIAN BEATING OF LIFE With a magnificent gesture, the Blsck Dragon ripped off hla mask last night, heaved It Into the crowd, and proceeded to hand Pete Bel castro the beating of his life. Over 1100 roaring fens who packed the ringside and half the grandstand at the high school football stadium In the first of 10 weekly matches under the stars saw the previously hooded horror go "clean" for three short minute, open s cut over Belcsstro's eye with a right hand wallop, and end things with a pair of devastat ing Boston crab holds. It waa a sensational cltmax to a sensstional main event, with the count atandlng one fall esch. the Dragon got fed up with Belcastro twitting his hood halfway around hla head, cutting off hla vision, and then slugging him brutally. So. he nia ine only thing possible. He re moved the mask, squared off, arid went to work on the Weed Dalian, for a few moments the two stood toe to toe and hsd it out, but the unmasked Dragon finally elamped on the Boston crab and It looked like curtalna. Pete, however, managed to crawl to the ropes and bretk the hold, but he was In no condition to fsc the aroused Dr.ron. A moment later the Italian was In the crab hold again, and thla time It was the end. The Dragon took the ft ret tumble In 11 minutes with a surfboard. Pete came back to dropklck the Dragon to the carpet In 3 rhlnutea for the second fall. He gave him a nasty besting first, sfter twisting the Ay V isni si The mysterious John Montague of Hollywood, called by some the "world'a greatest golfer," allowed himself to he photographed In golfing poses after his arrett lit Los Angeles, under the nsme of La Verne Moore, on 1030 robbery charge from Jay, N.

(AP) Bob Feller, the 18-year-old Cleveland In diana' hurler who blared a atrlkeout trail across the baseball horizon In 1910 and then Injured his arm this sesson, Is convinced he's Just as good as ever, notwithstanding his current record of three defeats and no victories. "I'll get the breaka eoon," ha smil ed, "and I'm far from discouraged over losing those games, even though i d have liked to won them. But It I could go out and pitch like I did against Detroit Sunday, I'd win 98 games a season." He ellowed Detroit only two hits although he lost the game. "I've been relying mslnly on my fsst ball, and my arm feels Just ss good aa ever. My curve Is getting better when It's right I think Its as good a curve aa any pitcher has in the league and I'm sure thst I'll start winning eoon. I'm not try ing to fan every batter. If I can fan them with men on bates I'll be sat isfied .' The Keller case has been baseball's most Intriguing, mystery of recent yeers. When he Injured his arm pitching against St. Louis April 24, some said he was through for good. Others that he wouldn't pitch again until 1038. Starting against Detroit at Cleveland, he allowed one hit In four Innings, bt the Tigers got three unearned runs olf him and won a seven-Inning game. 3 to a. At Detroit Bunday he walked six and made one wild plta-h. FOR RIFLE CLUB HAILED SUCCESS The first :annual member's match held at the Medford Rifle club's small bore range Sunday was hailed aa. an unqualified success by all entries. The first squad waa on the line at 7:30 a.m., and firing con tinued until shortly after noon. Most Important and first of the four events, waa the official qualifi cation course, 30 shots at 60 yarda and 30 ahote at 100 yards, In which each entries'- score Is witnessed, cer tified and sent to the National Rifle association for classification aa a marksman, sharpshooter and expert with the small bore rifle. Scores re quired are 370, 360 and 390 re spectively. Match Mo. 3, 40 shots at 60 yards was a real endurance test. Third event, the Carton match, called for 30 shot's at a hundred yards on a one-Inch bullseye. A perfect score, If ever made, would count 320. With light changes and a shifty wind Its the toughest match on any program. Credit and thanks are due two local sporting goods firms for their Interest ' In these matches. Place medals In the 50-yard match were presented by Lamport's, and those In the Carton match by Hubbard Bros. The grand aggregate, fourth and last event, was a total of scores made In the previous three, and there was plenty of tough competition for the gold medal awarded for first plsoe. Bunday, July 18, a host of rifle men from Oregon and California will attend the first match of the second half of the rifle league's se ries of summer matches on the Med ford range near Llt'le Table Rock.

The payoff occurred In the fifth round, and when Prankle fired with the double leg-kick, he waa about all In from a devastating leg-breaker Kohen had used to grab the second fall In the fourth round.

Clemens wanted to play clean. and did his best to do It, but Had dock would have none of It. Bo, the boya mixed It up considerable.

It la here called to atten tion the case of a Jerk-water county seat village In eastern North Caro lina named Snow Hill, an Inappro priate monicker In view of the red hot Interest In the national pastime that grlpa the town alx montha a year. 8now HUI boasts a total population of only 900 souls, and Is so small tt Is without telegraphic service. But, when It comes to basehnlt. t.h mhl. tie stop named Snow Hill la right up wwre among tnem; in tact, it is absolutely tops In these 48 states when It eomes to supporting Its ball club. Snow Hill Is undlsputedly the smallest town In the world to pro duce a bsseball team In organized baseball, and make It pay. Or, even not make It pay, for that matter. In the Coastal Plains league, a class D loop composed of eight clubs In eastern North Carolina, Snow Hill is the hot-spot. The seven other towns are from five to ten times Its size, but Its In Snow Hill where the crowds roar loudest, the umps are the dirtiest robbers, and peanut ped dlers sell the most peanuts. Baseball has been the favorite sport In Snow Hill for 40 years, and always the Tillage has turn ed out en masse to harangue the opposition Into defeat. L'ntll Ibis . year, the club was always a member of one of the semi-pro or Independent leagues, and H-hen neighboring towna decided to cast their lot with organized baseball this season, Snow Hill laughed loudly at remarks that the town was too small, and led the parade toward affiliation with the national association. And, It Is still chuckling. The Coastal Plains circuit plays a 100-game schedule. That means 60 battles on the road and SO at home for each entrant. Snow Hill makea Its road trips, plays good ball, and then comes home." And, when the Snow HUI Billies, club nickname, comes home, they come home for keepa. every store and very home In town la deserted exactly 50 afternoons a year as the, entire works trek to the ball park to keep their Billies In the pennant race. All business estab lishments lock their doors, and the battle for the dollar la completely rorgoiien during game afternoon. The league's salary limit Is $1000 a month. Including the manager, the same at In all class D wheels. It has . meant that young players compose almost entirely the personnel of all league clubs, which Includes Klnston, Wllllamston, Goldiboro, Torboro. Greenville, New Vern and Ayden, all In eastern North Carolina. The Billies' average age Is 23 vears. but even more startling la the fact tnat, unlike moat minor league teams. Snow HUI hssn't a bunch of play era owned by bigger teama on Its roster. Emu Zak and Vincent Ven ture, two young pitchers farmed to the Billies by Norfolk In the Pied mont circuit, are the lone perform ers not owned outright by Snow Hill. Piedmont la a New York Yankee farm, so Zak and Venture are really the property of the world champions. But. that'a the size of outside help, and the fans love It. The more we think about Snow Hill, the . more clearly apparent It becomea that, someday, organized baseball will atlck Its welcome nose Into Oregon, and bring to fans the real thing. Maybe right down here In southern Oregon, with Medford. Ashlsnd, Oranta Pass. Klamath Falls and perhaps a couple of northern California towns Joining up, and playing under lights. For that matter, there has been talk in the State league for several years regarding a class D charter, but nothing has ever been done about It. There are rumora going the rounds at present thst Salem may enter the Western International next season, but we read the other day In a Salem paper that the city couldn't support a team In organized ball. It certainly can't if the press Is agin' It, that'a a cinch. The scrib bler who produced that piece should have a look at Snow HUI, and many other towna under 10,000 which are supporting clubs with old-time fer- And, speaking of the Western In ternational, It has certainly boomed minor league baseball In the north west thla season. Its first. It started out as a class D circuit, the lowest clssslficatlon. but fan In all league cities demanded higher class ball, and the rating waa upped to class B. carrying with It a salary limit of 1800 a month and an Increased player roster. It waa no mlatake, be cause addicts have been packing all league parks like no place else tn the country. Lewis ton. for Instance. a town of under 12.000. has been drawing from 1000 to 2500 pec ta tors a night. The evening It lost Its 24th straight ball game, 3400 Lswlaton fans Jammed the orchard. That la real baseball Interest, It la repeated, someday southern Oregon may witness organized base ball, and thla Qua H. Fan, for one, hopes It will be before the turn of the century.
