Qualifying Scores Are Poor, but Six Cards in the 70s Two Municipal Players, Mas sara and Doll, Are Below 80 in First Half of Qualifying Round. By CARROLL R. MULLEN. BLAINE YOUNG Hstaged a comeback in local golf com ^ petitions yesterday when he led the field in the first 18 holes of the qualify ing round of the (city golf tourna iment with a medal (ib. Ordinarily a 76 wouldn’t seem suf ficient to call B 1 a i n e’s game a ^comeback, but when 'it is taken into con sideration that he has been off in his game since the first of the season and even failed to qualify for the cham pionship flight of the state tourna ment, then one can say that the Field club star is showing some of his old time form. The scores in general for the first half of the qualifying round were poor. There were six cards in the 70s and the lowest 32 had scores of 85 or better. At any rate, it is likely that it will take a card of 168 to qualify for the championship flight, taking off two strokes for today's round, which should be faster, the course being dryer and the putting greens faster. However, should it rain this morning a total medal score of 171 or 172 may qualify for the title competition. Many Stars,.Are Absent. Absence of many of the familiar faces may account for fewer cards in the 70s. Sam Reynolds, state champion; Johnny Morr.'s, runner-up to Reynolds; Francis Gaines, Foye Porter and Gene Vaughn, all of whom likely would get below 80, are absent from the tournament. Then, too, some of those whose qualifying scores are usually below the 80 mark fell off their game yes terday. Ralph- Peters, city champ in 1915 and former state title holder, came in with an 83. His brother, Clarence, medalist in the fast state meet, had two 44s for an 88. Guy Beckett, former state champ, had an 81. Fred Vette, defending city cham pion. had to be satisfied with an 83. Wally Shepard, city champ in 1920, took SI to make the round. Harrold Russejl, runner-up for the northeast ern Nebraska title at Norfolk two weeks ago. came in with a card of 88, while Kenny Reed, former state titleist, registered with an 85. Harry Donovan, the municipal crack, took 84 strokes to finish and Eddie Creigh ton 86. Dr. Gene Slattery, who was one of the low men in the last state meet and who defeated Clary Peters in the match competition, had a card , of 90, Slats being considerably off his I game. Jerry Magee took an 83, Ralph ! Dold 84 and Phil Downs a 91. There were 120 entrants who teed | off. 119 cards being turned in. Of the six cards below 80, two were entrants from the Fontenelle Golf club. Francis Massara took a 77, while Henry Doll had a 79. Massara and John W". Redick, with 77s, were second to Young, while G. D. Thomas and Jack Hughes of the Field club had 78s. Aoung Played Great Game. Young played a great game, hav i ing even 4s until reaching the 17th I hole, where he took a 6, and came I in on No>-18 with a 5. for a 40 on thc inside and a total of 76. He had two balls out of bounds on the outside | and took a 36. His slice and alternate | hook appears to be cooling off ar.d the former champion seems primed for a splendid finish. However, he will be closely pressed for the medalist hontlfs by young j Massara and John W. Redick, who are trailing by a single stroke. Jack Hughes, who is two strokes behind, and Hank Doll, who is three, are not out of the running and either is like ly to come home for the medalist prize after today's round. The annual free dinner wily be given entrants at the Field club to night after the second half of the qualifying round has been completed. A special driving contest is carded for all entrants today. The aggre gate yardage for three drives will constitute the score of each. Tlife low 32 qualifiers will begin play in the championship flight Wednes day, while the next 10 will play in the president’s flight and the next 16 in the vice president's group. The Buffaloes won two games yes terday. No game today, but one Tuesday. j American Association At Louisville. R H.

Yeais ago tiAie -"mi VjHlPPEO Klfr LaviGMC vOUE ofthe greatest of Light Fighter IT IS interesting, though not neces sarily important, to note that in the ring a champion, when beaten, usually goes down whipped at his own style of fisticuffing. Unless old age plays a dominant role, it isn't often that a clever boxer is whipped by a mere slugger. It isn't so surprising that Tendler, more of a fighter than a boxer, made such a poor showing with the clever Leonard. I could easily fancy Mc Farland trimming Leonard at his own methods—skillful boxing and keen, heady generalship. Also one could picture Joe Gans, “the Old Master,’’ performing likewise and capping It all with the knockout wallop. They were men who doted on the same tactics that Leonard does. And, good as Leonard is today, they were better. Once in a while the mere fighting type can overthrow the cleverest of boxers. Battling Nelson In his prime, a fellow with tireless stamina and a punchproof anatomy, could have "taken" Leonard, I should say. But usually a fighter is beaten by a more rugged fighter and a clever boxer by one still more skilled. At least that Is what lightweight history reports over the stretch of the last 25 years. In only two instances of such com parisons of ring types has a light weight champion been whipped by a ringman who petted tactics different from his own. Back in 1899 Kid Lavigne, who was a mighty fighter, lost his title to Frank Erne, a battler of the Leonard type. Gans, most gifted of the boxers in the minds of many, was knocked out In 17 rounds by Battling Nelson, the fighter with out a frill. Gans, at the time, however, was a sufferer from tuberculosis At his best he had previously whipped Nel son in 42 rounds at Goldfield. That was the afternoon when the hardest fighter, type combated the most skill ed boxer. Gans proved beyond doubt in that terrible battle that no mere slugger, reinforced with boundless en durance, could match his marvelous cklll. No mere boxer, outside of the genius Gans, could do anything with the rugged Nelson, however. It took a man of his own unpolished ring ways to humble him. Wolgast in turn lost his title to Willie Ritchie, who was also more or less of a slugger type who had speed, a good punch and an oaken heart. Ritchie was one of the few cham pions to be beaten by a rlngster with an opposite style. Freddy Welsh, a “safety first” boxer, thoroughly schooled in every trick of defense, took the fighter's title away when they met In London. Even so the decision was a “hair-line” and is among the questionable verdicts of the ring. Welsh, the boxer, was whipped by Leonard at his own style because a boxer who can also punch Is the most formidable species of the boxer type. Any one with a punch Is likely to whip the best boxer or fighter that ever lived. BASEBALL RESULTS and STANDINGS/ WESTERN LEAGUE. Slnndlniiu w L. Pet. W L.

Aug. 6.—Sunday was a day of rest and relaxation for Jack Dempsey, who yesterday pitched his training quarters on Ihe shore of Saratoga lake to begin training for his bout with Luis Angel Firpo. The champion spent the day in swimming, short strolls and a motor trip to Saratoga Springs, 11 miles away. Boxing fans today began finding their way to the champion’s fjuar ters and his guests numbered about 5,000. It is expected that tomorrow erec tion of a new training ring will be begun. Dempsey’s living quarters, ’’Fern lodge." a few yards from th^ ring and the camp of his sparring partners adjoining, will be fenced to keep out the curious.

By DAVIS J. WALSH, International News Service. EW YORK, \ug. 6.—The latest whisper, right off the back stairs, is that George Sisler will take charge of the Browns, sup planting Lee Fohl in actuality if not in name, as soon as the club returns. This report is common gossip around temporary headquarters of the Browns here and the constant repetition has caused it to be ac cepted as fact. The same story claims that Sisler will not attempt to resume active ball playing this season, but will work out with the club In pre-game practice and direct ita activities from the Itench. Meantime, Kohl is supposed to remain about the premises, saying nothing with his usual facility. At the end of the season, it la alleged Fohl is to be wafted gently but firmly out and Sisler appointed manager of the club. So much for that. Fart of the sad tale has it that Staler wants to resume playing when the Yankees appear in St. I„ouis in the Immediate future, but that physicians in charge of th» oase have asked waivers on the idea They grant that Slsler'a impaired vision has improved to the extent that he Is able to play golf, but would he far worse if he attempts to hurry hi* recovery by premature return to baseball. It is their intention that Sisler be kept out of the game until next season. That stand is said to have been accepted by Phil Ball of the club. St Louis is said to be sour on Fohl | as manager, in spite of the fact that ! St. Louis has been third for some weeks. If, as insinuated. Sister is ultimately to replace Fohl. it will be the second time that that worthy has been given the air In favor of a star hall player. The other time it waai the Cleveland Indians and Trls Speaker.
