Youth Seems to Be Holding the Reins This Year in -- ■ ■ — fS\ ___ - Nebraska State Golf Tournament Clarence Peters Leads the Field Shooting a 70 But Four Former Champs Among Eighteen to Break Eighty in First Eight* een Holes. Tl^ere Is a tendency to favor new blood when considering the chances of the different candidates who arc fighting for places in the champion ship flight of the nineteenth annual Nebraska state amateur golf tourna ment which started at the Omaha Country club yesterday morning.* There were 18 who broke 80‘s In the first half of the 36 holes of the qualifying round. Of those 18 there are hut four former state champions, the rest being new comers for the most part. Clarence Peters, the youngest of the three Peters boys, thrilled, the bench warmers at the enghteenth green when hfe came to the tee with three for an even 70. H1r drive was on the green and his first putt missed the cup by a fraction of an Inch and Peters missed going into the 60’s by a stroke. His game vfas perfect, taking a 17 for the outside and a 33 for the inside nine. Francis Gaines Low. Close behind Peters with a 72 came Francis Gnines, medalist of the 1920 tournament, and following him was Dr. Eugene Slattery of the Field eluh and Harry Donovan of Fonte nelle with a 75. Slattery is the pres ent city champion of Lincoln, but Is now practicing denistry in Omaha. The next place on the card was re served for three former state champs, Sam Reynolhs, Ralph Peters and Guy Beckett, each taking a 76. Johnny Morris of- Miller park. Francis Massara of Fontenelle, and Phil Aitken of Lincoln took 77's. George Toozer of Happy Hollow. Ray Shields of the Field club, Eddie Creighton of the Omaha Country club and Foy Porter of Happy Hollow finished with 78's. The last of the former state champs to shoot below 80 was Jack Hughes, who turned In a card of 79. Ed Lymann of Fonte nelle. and his teammates H. Palmer and Ben Yooaem also turned In 79's. 160 or Higher to Qualify. There is every indication to believe that it will take a score of 160 or at the most 162 to qualify for the cham pionship flight which starts tomorrow morning and will he finished Satur day. Of the 145 entries, there were 41 from out state clubs making the finest representation in a Nebraska golf tournament. Phil Aitken of Lincoln leil the out state representation with a T7 and should qualify unless a miracle takes the better game awa) from him today In the final half of the qualifying round. The failure of Blaine Ypung to get the 80’s wag a disappointmet# of the many, friends of the former state champ and many times medalist of the state meets. He turned in a card of 84 which means he must break into tha 70'a today to qualify for the championship flight. Wally Shepard, co-medalist with Ypung at the 1922 tournament, also fell down and took an 81. Jerry Magee, who la usually in the 70s turned In an 80 but is expected to qualify. FIRST HALF.

If you don't be lieve it. just go over to turning, la., and see for yourself. There wits a time, and it was not so long ago, that the small town ball elub was composed of the home lads. But oh, how times have changed. A couple of years ago Creslon, la., organized a bail elub and chal lenged Corning. Creston won and Cor^mg, not to be out-done by its rival, set out to organize a strong club. Money was not spared. Com ing pit ked on the Western league and picked until four of “Pa” Tearney's players “jumped” organ ized hall to play with Corning for larger salaries than they received from Western league clubs. “Ilud" Knox, former Dea Moines catcher, Is one of Coming's high salaried players. “fa-fty” Daniels and Otto .Werz are former Omaha pitchers, while "Chief” Kobinson "jumped” the Sioux City club to play with the Iowan*. Each one of from the Corning management than they got from Western league club*. Today Corning i* represented by one of the strongest semi-pro teams in this section of t lie country. Saturday and Sunday the Iowan* beat Ernie Holmes’ W hite Sox in a three-game series, thus bringing their total victories to SO out of S3 contests. Daniels pitched Coming to the Council Bluffs tournament cham pionship last year and has been one these players received more money of the leading hurlers on the Com ing club this season. Merz has only lost two games for the lowans, while Knox and Robinson are the leading hitters on the team. While the Western league con tinues to operate, it is such semi pro clubs as Coming, where the management spares no money in getting players' that Injures or ganized baseball more than any thing else.

"Now that Gibbons Is out of the way," he asserted, "it will be either Harry Wills or the winner of the WlllartVFirpo bout. I don't care who It jn. so long as the public wishes the fight. I'm In tip top shape and eager to continue In the fighting game, for in the last four veers, it's been too irregular, with bouts com ing *so far between that I couldn't really reach the top of my condition. "The more fights I have, the bet ter I like It. and the better the xjublic will like It." Dempsey said he ex pected his next fight would he in the New York Metropolitan arena on Labor day. The champion praised Tom Gib bons, asserting that "He is a good fighter, plucky and well trained." "He went Into the ring with the purpose of sticking the 15 rounds, and he stuck,” the tttleholder said. "Of course, he did a good deal of running and hung on a lot, but at times he showed unusual spurts of hard fighting." Dempsey said h* expected to con tinue training almost dally In prep aration for his next big fight. The champion expects to spend the next 10 days or so In Utah and then plans to join his manager.

Man Sought to Decapitate Vife Tickled bv Her Uncle Akron, O., July 7—Should a man decapitate hla wife because her uncle tickles her In the ribs? Judge H. C. Spicer of Summit county domestic relations court re centlv ar.swsred the question by granting Mr*. William Spcnagle a divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty, in making si^ch threats for such a cause. Her name is Myrtle, and she married William in Whot mer. West Virgin!*, in 1915. The rib tickling took place on her uncle's farm, where the couple were visiting. The uncle Is 95 years old and good looking, which may have had weight with William. She said he "teased me. pulled my ears in a playful manner and gouged me In | the ribs ' For that Bill wanted her head, and now he has lost her alto gether as a result of the court's de cree. Paris Booksellers “Stretch" Daylight Pari*. July 7.—Daylight saving time isn't enough for the enterprising keepers of the picturesque bookstalls which stretch for many blocks along the quay on the left bank of the River Seine. t The proprietor of one of the stalls conceived the idea of installing elec tric lights to enable patrons to peruse the volume* on his shelve* after nightfall. Now proprietors all along the line are planning to put in the same fixtures and. incidentally, add two or three more hours to their ai- i ready long vigil. The bookstalls form one of Paris' most unique institutions. In them may be found almost every kind of book or pamphlet ever printed. Seeds Maintain \ italitv in Vacuum Container? Paris, July T—Plant seeds will re tain their power* of germination in definitely If they are kept In vacuum containers. Professor Lecomte an nounced to the French Academy of1 Sciences Kxperlment* conducted by the pro feesor showed that radish and lettuce seed* and grains of wheat, conserved In vacuum containers for 1* year*, still germinated quickly when brought into the air. Practically the discovery will be utilised to iransport certain kinds of seeds which ordinarily quickly lose their germinating power*, long dis tances from the places where they now thrive.

I can't pay the price* that are demanded for big prize fight*, but I have cheered Dempsey over every ticker In Oma ha. Every time he fight* I horn in on a ticker and root for every foot of good and bad new* that rattle* off the wheel. Until both challenger and Demp »ey are safe In the waste basket I holler my head off. Unfortunately, the fight results are tangled up with other news of the day. For Instance, the seventh round of Wednesday's fight read like this: Dempsey rushed Gibbons into a neutral corner. There were seven teen hundred on board the Leviath an as the big boat swung Into the harbor and Gibbons Jabbed the champion with a long, lean left. The referee cautioned Dempsey for hold ing. There were boos and catcalls from the crow-d as exclusively fore shadowed In these dispatches, Irene Casile filed suit for divorce In Paris. • Dempsey rocked Tom with a right croas to the nose. It looks like Lenin I* slowly passing out. Standard Oil dropped to a million shares. Gibbons poked Dobbs Ferry in the jaw on its golden Jubilee. Dempsey swung a package of shooting crackers into a Chinese Laundry in the Bronx and two little boys were badly- scorched. Gibbons came back strong with a dedication speech at the unveiling of the sailors' and soldiers' monu ment in the seventh round and Dempsey presented Gibbons with Judge Gary' s plea for a 1! hour day. There was some close infight in^V| and President Harding came out of Yellowstone park much refreshed. Gibbons took one on the jaw, but German marks were selling for nothing a grab. If that ain't bad enough for a fight bug. it's worse than that on the radio. I tried that and the last nine rounds were children's nursery parodies. Who do you complain to? Yours. CHARLIE TRIMBLE. OMAHA. YOU don't complain to anybody Either your eyes deceive you or your crystal receiver* are clogged. A trip to Shelby and a ticket would have set Mr. Trimble back 1500. He got more fun out of that ticker than a kitten could out of a lasael on a lace curtain. We don't think that he has a complaint coming If that ticker wat in ita usual place in a corner saloon, Mr. Trimble can make a million selling its address. We would be Indebted to Mr. Trimble If he gave us directions in a sealed envelope and placed the letter In the hip pocket of Horace Greeley's statue. Copyright. HIJ. by Btsr Company. Longer Leashes for Pet Dogs Urged by Humane BodV Chicego. July 7—Longer leashet and chains for pet dogs are urged by a western humane society In a pham phlet issued on practical advice on animal protection. Pet dogs in large cities, the bul letin save, do not get enough exer cise. A mere weik with the mistreat ia not enough. When tethered in the >erd a ring should be run over a long clcthee line to permit the maxi mum of liberty. Other don'ta follow: "Don't use your bird dog for a few weeks a year and make a captive out of him for the remaining 11 months Don t give him a house extremely cold or extremely hot. Give him a clean bed of straw or cedar sawdust. The latter rid him of flees "Don't let hla water get stale. »ed him regularly, more in the win ter than in the summer.” Warm lard or oil are given as antidotes for strychnine polsonin# This should be followed up with cat tor oil w hen the dog feels better.
