Tourney 5 and 4
Chicago Golfer Toyi With
Tranmisisippi Champ
and Wins With
Ease.
Hilcrett Country Club. Kansas
City, July 1. It's "Chick" Evans
gain.
The Chicago golfer (or the seventh
time can write "western amateur
champion" afterhis name, for he
toyed with George Von Kim of Salt
Lake Ci'y in the inals of the West-
"tliick" Kvuns
ern Golf association on the Hillcrest
course today, winning S and 4.
At no time was "Chick" in danger
from the muchly touted far west
erner, and most of the spectators
aeem to think he could have made
the margin larger had he desired.
Once he conceded Von Elm a four
foot putt to give him a half on a hole.
Evans turned in a card of 34-35-69 in
the morning four under par against
Von Elm's 37-39-76 three over
and held ' a 'five-hole advahtage.
While Von Elm occasionally cut this
to four holes. "Chick" kept the con
test well in hand and ended it with a
lS-foot putt for a birdie 3 at the 32d
with the same advantage he had held
at the halfway point.
Evans golf was the same old per
fect Evans game. , He sent every ball
straight towards the flag, the line of
flight generally never varying two
feet to either side. His approaches
generally stuck near the hole, for his
preceding shots had always left him
in a advantageous pitching position.
Once or twice the stiff winds carried
him a little too far, but not often.
Von El mwas good only in that he
kept his nerve and never quit plug
ging away. His shooting at times
was extremely poor. He hooked or
sliced or pushed almost every wood
shot. He was always in trouble,
while Evans never was.
Von Elm tried to the end. He
made some brilliant recoveries, he
sank some long putts, but he faced
a man who was perfection with every
club. -
Logan Intends to
, Claim Forfeit
Buddy Logan, the Omaha king
kleagle of klout, expects to weigh
143 or 143 1-2 pounds when he peels
off his kimono July Fourth to take a
fling at Morrie Schlaifer, the rock
'em to sleep artitst. This will be the
heavies weight at which Buddy
ever attempted to fight.
But the extra avoirdupois will not
indicate the Omaha mitten scientist
is not in the proverbial "pink."
Buddy is just working hard and eat
ing everything on the restaurant
menu.
Schlaifer's weight must be 144
pounds or under. If he is just one
tiny bit over 144 Logan expects to
claim his forfeit.
"Schlaifer will have plenty of time
to get down to the stipulated
weight," says Logan, "and I have
warned him that I intend to claim
the $150 forfeit if he isn't."
Schlaifer is cognizant of the fact
that Logan means what he says and
is putting in strenuous training
strides at the Business Men's gym.
."He'll nob. get my forfeit," chirps
Schlaifer.'
Puryear Outpoints
Herbie Schaeffer
Chicago, July 1. (Special.) Earl
Puryear, the Denver bantam, won
nearly every round of his eight
round bout with Herbie Schaeffer at
Aurora last n'ght.
Schaeffer, a comer among the
banties," was puzzled by the veri
table network of mittens which the
westerner dangled in front of him.
Puryear may meet Pal Moore on
a card at Aurora in the near future.
Breaks Auto Record.
Tacoma, July 1. Jimmy Murphy
broke another automobile track
record here yesterday when he
clipped off a lap on the Tacoma
speedway in 1:07:02, representing a
speed of 108 miles an hour. The old
record held by Ralph Mulford was
10 seconds slower. Murphy is warm
ing up his car for the race here on
Independence day.

Some Mew Lures lor the Fly
Fisherman.
The season 1922 will be remem
bered for some time by the fly fisher
men as the year in which some cork
ing fine lures were put on the mar
ket, some of which are of a distinct
and different type from those which
the caster have been using. If there
ever was a time when handsome,
wiggling fly rod lures can be had,
lures that are so good that they are
almost too deadlyt this is the time,
sure enough.
As we write this there is spread
out before us a collection of fly rod
lures so attractive, so well made,
that even a net fisherman could not
help but be thrilled by the sight of
them. You know, the kind that you
just naturally buy when you see
'em in a showcase and arc so anxious
to own if for no other reason than
to look at 'em or wear 'em on your
coat lapel. We showed several of
this collection laid out before us to
a certain young lady and she was so
impressed by the delicacy and beauty
of one of them that she expressed the
desire to pin it on her bonnet, borne
lures 1
One of the most effective lures
brought out this season is the so
called feather minnow. There are
several variations of this pattern on
the market, but practically all of
them have a email cork beautifully
colored with the rest of the body
made of feathers which hide the
hook. Novel in conception, this min
now is a wonderful lure. When
properly handled it gives the impres
sion of a. struggling, crippled min
now and consequently receives an
awful wallop from some hungry fish.
In working these various types of
feather minnows on lakes or in quiet
water they should be made to move
slowlv. iust as a crippled minnow
naturally would navigate. This can
be done by jerking the line slightly,
which causes the lure to dive a bit.
These feather minnows can also be
manipulated by the bait casters with
success it a gut insieaa 01 a mciai
leader is used. Of course, a light
rod is required, also a suitable swivel
casting sinker. Being manutacturca
in many colored patterns, these
feather minnows offer a pleasing
variety for the fly caster. One com
pany m Michigan has put twelve pat
terns on the market, and they are
beauties.
Another fly rod lure which is also
,..u,m fnr halt- rods, that has just
been put on the market and which
has caught our eye, is 's"s
feather creation without tne com
head found in the so-called feather
T-t . . iL. Uiantff nnrl Iff.
minnow, forming iuc
ing as a weed guard over me nou
are two stiff feather wings which
make the tail of the bat wiggle. This
lure, which is made in Wisconsin,
by the way, sure is an attractive
performer on a fly rod and should
be a killer. The patterns are knock
outs. Look good enough to eat.
This lure is put out with a detacn
ai. e.'nlrrr -arrangement which
makes it a mighty fine rigamajig for
the bait shooter.
Yes, sir, this year sure has pro
duced a corking line of new lures
for the fly caster. The only trouble
that can be found with any of these
handsome new baits like the feather
minnows and these other wiggling
minnow imitating lures is that they
are too allfired deadly. They catch
fish too easily; they are going to
make it possible for the fish hogs
to haul in the bass in too great
numbers.

What salary will Willie Kamm ask
of the Chicago White Sox next year?
That is a question you hear every
uay.
. . . .
Apparently men wno nave no in

crs of the San Francisco club about
salary. He likes to play ball better
tnan anything else in the world, so
ii a lair cttcr is made

Wants to Play.
inis year nc was mven more
money than he asked for, so natural
ly he lost no time in sienine.
Kamm wa,nts to play in the Ameri
can league, and when Comiskey
comes to sign him, he will find no
temperamental star, but a very sensi
ble young fellow who wants only a
square deal and a chance to play
regularly.
Naturally, fans in the American
league are going to expect a lot from
a young man who was sold for
more tha,n $100,000. Kamm is not a
circus performer. He is simply
mighty good third baseman, who
will improve upon acquaintance, and
unless he meets with some bad luck
in the way of injuries he will stay
ii ine Dig snow lor many years,
Can't Compare 'Em.
Ruth is billed like a circus parade
as a home-run hitter. When a man
from out of town goes to see Ruth
and sees him swat a home run he
has his money's worth. If he sees
Ruth strike out a couple of times he
feels well repaid.
You can't compare Kamm to Ruth,
although Willie, a mi,nor leaguer,
brought as much money as Ruth did
as a big league star, for the reason
that Willie docs not specialize in any
one thing.
Good judges of ball players will
spot Kamm the first time they see
him in action. The once-in-awhile
fans will see nothing out of the or
dinary in him. Charley Comiskey,
who paid the record price for him,
will recognize his ability, even
though Willie is as nervous as a
chiekeji the first time Comiskey sees
him.
Not "Hard Boiled."
Kamm is not hard boiled and he is
liable to look bad in his first games
at Chicago. The Seals this year need
ed a shortstop and there was no
question but that Kamm would have
made a crackerjack at that position,
but simply because he had never
played short Willie got to worrying
about it and could net sleep well. So
Jack Miller told him to forget all
about shortstop and play third base.
Willie's insomnia was cured im
mediately. Club Can't Win;
Breen Resigns

number of the best of Ireland, where
the best of the coursing hounds are

Cobb a Genius
in Building
Baseball Qui
'Georgia Peach Is Assembling
Strong Team Without
Begging From League
Rivals.
New York, July 1. Joe Vila sayi
that when the reconstructed Detroit
Tigers won four straight games from
the Yankees a few weeks ago, atten
tion was called to the interesting
fact that Tyrus Raymond Cobb
didn't have a single star who had
been purchased from a rival Ameri
can League club. The owners of the
Yankees are said to have paid more
than $400,000 for the releases ot
Ruth. Mays. Scott, Bush, Jones,
Hoyt, Schang, Baker, Pipp and Witt,
yet the Tigers now are playing far
beyond the skill and speed of the
expensive Hugmen.
Succeeding Hugh Jennings a year
ago last fall, Cobb first engaged Dan
Howley to act as coach, a wise move
considering ihi valuable assistance
that Howley had rendered. Cobb,
then obtained Blue, who has develop
ed into one of the best first base
men iu the American league, to
gether with Catcher Johnny Basslcr,
already a star coming out of the Pa
cific Coast league.
Retained Six Stars.
Ainsmith, Young, Bush and
Shorten of the Tiger's old guard,
were released and "Dutch" Leonard
was allowed to remain idle when he
demanded a $15,000 salary. Cobb dug
up Shortstop Rigney in Texas and
discovered Oleson, the former Cor
nell bo.xman, together with Lil
Stoner, who has twice beaten the
Yankees. He also recommended the
purchase of Pitchers Pillctte and
Johnson for whom $40,000 was paid
to the Portland Club of the Coast
league and he engaged the veteran
Cutshaw, turned adrift by the Pi
rates.
Has Surprised World.
Retaining Hcilman, Veach, Flag-
stead, Jones, Ehmeke, Dauss and
Oldham, all veterans, Cobb has put
together the strongest team that has
represented Detroit in the American
league since the Iigers won the pen
nant in 1907, 1908 and 1909. Before
the season opened Tyrus Raymond
predicted that this new machine
wouldn't finish lower than sixth so
that the remarkable winning per
formance of the Tigers have sur
prised not only Detroit fans but also
the entire baseball world, at the
same time proving that good ball
teams can be developed without buy
ing stars from greedy club owners.
Much of the credit for the Tigers'
success belongs to Coach Howley.
His novel methods of sharpening the
eyes of the Detroit batsmen have
made thenv feared by all of the ene
my pitchers.

Wolfram Lacei Buffaloes.
Pitcher Wolfram, a new addition
to the Des Moines hurling staff, who
hails from the Portland Coast league

the pitching ' honors. The lanky
Booster got into trouble in the first
inning and was touched for three
runs and three hits. A pair of Boost
er errors helped the Bufaloes out in
this frame. .....
In the second frame, Wolfram got
careless with his deliveries and per
mitted the locals to swat out three
hits for a run. Again in the fourth

more runs off four hits, of which J
one was a home run by Whitey
Gislason. An error and a sacrifice

varsity coach and of his brother, P.
James Corderry, as his assistant.

American coach to teach a strictly
American stroke and to establish a
new system of coaching. The in
