Francis Ouimet Loses Out in British Meet Last nf American Amateur (»olf ['earn Defeated Iiy Wethercd in Semi Finals. IIy Assoi-lntcil I'rrM. Deal, May 11.—British golfers to day got rid of the last of the Amer icans who sought to take their ama teur championship trophy across the Atlantic ocean. Franris Ouimet of Boston, former American open and amateur cham pion, was defeated this afternoon In one of the semi-final rounds by Roger Wethered. a tall, slim son of England. Douglas Grant, who is also an Amer ican, hut who has lived for some time in England, lost the other semi final to a short, sturdy Scotchman, Robert Harris, by a score of 5 and 4. Tomorrow's final of 36 holes will be hut another of those frequent golf battles between England and Scot land. Ambitious America will play the less thrilling role of an interested spectator. In going down by a score of 2 tip and 1 to play this afternoon, Ouimet for the third time In his life failed to achieve his ambition to win the British amateur title. Before he fell lie eliminated the pet of the English gallery. Cyril Tolley. In beating Tolley this morning in the sixth round Ouimet gave a magnificent display of artistic perfection in the strokes for which he long has been famous and when he went out in the after noon again to meet another giant of English golf, he was the favorite. Artistry Deserts Him. But the Bostonian's artistry had deserted him, his shots were bereft of the supreme playing that made ills forenoon effort so bright and beauti ful and he was trounced by a man who played golf that was only ordinary for one with such a reputa tion ns Wethered enjoys. To meet and defeat in one day such masters of match play as Tolley and Weth er ed was a terrible task to set for anyone. It was one for which Ouimet lacker! sufficient stamina to fulfill. Through poor, putting Ouimet was four down by the time he reached the 13th green. Here, he rallied and tried bravely to avoid the inevitable. He succeeded in winning the 14th and loth holes and barely missed win ning the 16th where his putt de licately curved to dodge a quarter stymie sticking on the lip, ran over ihe rim of the cup and refused to d rop. AVethered was beginning to play loosely but he had played surely and steadily that first hour and a half when Ouimet had wobbled and wavered, particularly from the cups, and the >oung Englishman fairly de served his victory. C heer When Ouimet Misses. The gallery had so eagerly been wanting AA’etbered to win that many members of it even cheered when Ouimet missed a putt, hts third one, on the ninth hole and AVethered went 2 up. This display of questionable golf manners somewhat affected Ouimet's temper, but the brisk and blithe Boatonlon never 1>v any out ward sign let if be known. After losing the ninth Ouimet's hit ting went furiously off the line, whereas on the outward round his play through the fairways had con tinued good and it was only on the greens he had failed to take AA eth tred's measure. At the 12th his drive went ihto the rough and his second shot into a trap anil ills third was short of the green. On the next hole the American went four down in his effort to sink a 10-foot putt, failing by inches. Then Ouimet began a real fight, hopeless perhaps, but gritty; always appearing not a determined strugglor but a care free chap having a good time, win or lose. He chipped up so dose to the 14th hole that AVthered conceded it to him. lie repented this performance at the 15th. where the Englishman got into a bunker and bad to shoot twice to get out. Slices Mis Drive. Ouimet was two down witfi three to play at the 16th. He sliced his drive, but. like Wethered. was on in three, and well on. for his 50-yard approach lay six feet from the cup. Wethered then putted his fourth to the very edge of the pin. and It lay partly In the line of Ouimet's putt. Ouimet knew that if h, hit it AVethered s ball would drop and the | match would be gone. Carefully and i with exquisite touch be sent his ball j curving to the cup. It reached the ' edge, ran along the top of the rim, seemed to hesitate, aiul then went a wa ?. Every one knew (hen that it wns all over but the shouting, and the end came on the next green where both men took a four. Browns Release Pitcher. St. Louis, Mo..

More Than Ton of Heavyweights Will Battle ,in New York Today New York, May 11.—Yankee stad luni, the world’s biggest baseball plant, was converted today into the world's greatest fistic arena where tomorrow more than a ton of heavy weights will do battle for the free milk fund. Itoom was made for 100,000 persons, if that many care to see Jess Willard, the former champion, try to prove his claim of pugilistic fitness against Floyd Johnson, a Des Moines, la., youth of 22 years; see Luis Firpo, the powerful Argentinan, against Jack McAuliffe 11, a Detroit youngster, who never has been floored for the full count, and three other contests. A great block of seats has been purchased by soviet yfolk and another reserved for city and slate officials. The Wlllard-Johnson and Firpo McAuliffe II matches are booked for 13 rounds each.

The- opening en gagement. a‘ four-round match, has Joe McCann, one of Firpo's mates, and Harry Draake, a sparring man of Willard's camp, for preliminaries. Tipke Released.
