Outsiders Meet in 36-Hole Match for Omaha Bee Trophy Finalists Win Way Over Vette and Shepard in Spite of Bad Games Displayed by Final Four Players. By CARROlLL R. MULLEN. MAHA's cham pionship golf crown will rest on the brow of either Dr. Eugene Slat tery or Francis Massara after the end of the 3fi-hole competition at the Omaha Field club today. This pair of youthful stars won their way Into the finals by weathering two rounds of stiff competition Saturday. Slattery won over Ralph Peters in the morning round and defeated Fred Vette, 1 up, in the semi final round. Massara took the measure of Guy Thomas during the morning and de feated Wally Shepard in the after noon, 3 up and 1 to play.' Neither of the finalists have ever won the city or state title before. Massara is a comparative newcomer and is entered from the Fontenelle municipal links. Slattery is former city champion of Lincoln, which title he won while attending school at the University of Nebraska last year. It is a toss u'p as to the probable victor in today's match. Eoth play ers have plenty of boosters, but from erratic games displayed by each in the semi final round, it is just a matter of who will be "on’’ his game today. In defeating Thomas during the morning, Massara had little real com petition, winning his match, 4 up and 3 to play. In his afternoon round he took on Wally Shepard of the Lakoma Country club. Both were decidely off their games. Massara had a miserable day on -he putting greens while Shepard's was not much better. Only when Shepard blew up after squaring the match on the 13th ' green, did the Fontenelle player seem the outstanding member of the match. Slattery Beats Peters. Slattery played lus best game dur ing the morning when he put Ralph M. Peters, former state and city cham, out of the running. The margin of victory was two holes but Peters was not playing that same game which characterized his many bril liant battles for local golfing titles. Fred Vette defeated S. Blaine Young In the morning by 1 tfp, but, like Slattery, blew up end was trail ing by three holes at the turn. How ever. the defending champion, staged p rally on the inside nine and moved ahead to become one down and lost the match when the 18th hole was halved. Slattery's 44 and Vette's 47 medal scores for the oi.tside wili give an Indication of the kind of golf which each was playing. Slattery came home from the inside with a 44 while Vette's card showed 48 strokes. It w*as the kind of golf which wouldn't put either in the championship flight after the qualify ing round. However, the sun was a determin ing factor in the matches yesterday. It was one of the hottest days of the month and since the first part of the tournament was played under weather conditions which permitted the use of sweaters and blouse coats. It was no more than likely that each of the contestants should be both ered. Vette. especially, showed ef 'fpets of the Intense heat, but rallied after the end of the first nine holes and almost played himself into the final round. Blaine Young Deieaten. The victory of Vette over Blaine Young In the third round was the only possible upset of the day. Young was groomed as the possible victor over the state university student and shot a 77 against a similar card of Vette's to lose on the ISth green. While Jack Hughes, medalist and favorite to win the tournament since the first of the week, lost to Wally Shepard* the defeat was anticipated because of the great game that the Lakoma crack has displayed during the current competition. Shepard won 2 up hut not without being forc ed to the limit by his veteran oppo nent. Hughes led by three holes to the 12th and Wally won the next three, halved the l*th and won the next two holes to win his way Into the semi-finals. It is a hard question to pick the winner of the meet. Both have even chances and from the character ->f the games displayed by each yes terday afternoon. Massara has the Inside trail toward the possession of The Omaha Bee cup for the n<-xt year. Slattery, however, has that rare re covery power which may demonstrate Itself during his match today and win for him the honors. One of Slattery's strong points dur ing the state and city golf tourn i ments has been his ability to npproch and to make sensational recoveries from bad lays. That was lacking yes terday as his poor medal In his match against Vette will show. While his putting was not up to Its usual stand ard It overshadowed that of Massara who found the greens too fast for his eye. Massara One l'p at Ninth. Massara was one up at the end of the ninth hole, the cards of he and Shepard showing even 10s for the outside. Wally squared the match on No. 10 and went one up on No. 11. on No. 13 the match became all square again and on No. 15 Massara his 25 foot putt for a birdie three to become one tip. Shepard lost the next hole to become dorrnte two when he dubbed his short npproacn and took a five against Massara'* four. Playing on the 17th green Shepard picked up both balls, con ceding the hole and match to Man sura, 3 up and 1 to play. Massara Is a youth 20 years of age When not. playing golf. h« Is assis tant to his father, the chef at the Omaha Country club. His game up to yesterday had been very steady and he was rated as one of the real "dark horses” of the tournament but I GAMES TODAY WESTERN LEAGUE. Tulsa at Omaha (two games). Wichita nt Denver.

Lipping the Cup Francis Massara had two balls out of bourids on No. 4 during his match with Guy Thomas and then halved the hole. Wally Shepard sank a 16-foot jputt to wtn No. 16 and go ahead of Jack Hughes in his third round match. Wally was 3 down after No. 11 and staged a brilliant rally to defeat the medalist. Francis Massara seemed to have plenty of trouble with his short putts. He was almost consistent in missing those from 6 Inches to 2 feet while he rallied on the inside and ran down a 25-foot one to win No 15 in his semi-flnal round match with Wally Shepard. Dr. Gene Slattery was leading Ralph Peters, 2 up at the turn of their morning match. Peters had a medal 41 against Slattery's 42 for the outside nine holes. Guy Thomas discovered he was pitted against no ordinary golfer when Francis Massara sank a 33 feet putt on No. 5 of their third round match. S. Blaine Young may have been sor vy that he was put out of the run ning but he found someone to share his sorrows when Tom Burtch put in an appearance. Tom and Blaine are pals in victory and defeat. Ned Reynolds, brother of the state champion, almost created a record in his semi-final round match of the championship consolations with Eddie O’Neil of Miller park by defeating the public links play er, 9 up and 8 to play. Reynolds won the first eight holes. However, he forced Jerry Magee to go to the . 18th hole to win the title by 1 up. Should the course be heavy today, the odds will rest with Francis Mas sara in his title match with Slattery. With the Field club course heavy dur ing the opening rounds of the tour nament, young Massara turned in his best scores. Wally Shepard carried several clubs which Charlie Johnston made for his mother 15 years ago. The bag which the Lakoma star used was formerly used by his mother. The championship in the Secre tary's flight fell to 15-year-old Phil Werhner who downed C. J. Baird In the final lfe holes of play. A great future la being predicted for the young Field club player. Franris Massara, finalist, is one of the few red-lieadetf Italian boys in Omaha. He was born in this country 20 years ago but his par ents came from northern Italy where the race is lighter in com plexion than in the southern part. Ed Boyer is just about decided that he will devote himself to making se lections for all golf tournaments. Ed picked two of the 32 who qualified and that pair happened to be Francis Massara and Gene Slattery who will play for the title today. Following are the cards in the semi final matches: Shepard, out ..465 635 633—40 Massara, out ...655 454 543—40 Slattery, out ..445 755 534—44 Vette. out .665 755 544—47 Shepard, in .. 444 554 5xx Massara, in ...554 453 4xx Slattery, in ...453 666 465—44—88 Vette. in.654 465 455—43—87 now ranks as the favorite. His stance Is odd. It being of a squat character. He bends over the ball with his fore foot straight out from It. His stroke Is short but the fol low through is ample and correct. He drives well, getting 200 to 250 yards nearly every time. He and Shepard drove on almost even terms yester day. His putting was the sad part of his game. Perhaps the bad Judg merit can be laid to the condition of the greens which were faster than any other day during the tourna ment. He three putted seven greens, some of them being one foot misses. The two finalists will start the first J8 holes of their ' grind at 9 o'clock this morning with the final 18 holes scheduled to get under way at 2:30 p. m, championship flight. Third Round.

McTigue is well known to American fans, having appeared here often in the last several years. He passed out of sight, however, and was visiting his family in Ireland when he re cehed the offer to meet Siki. The rest is history. This is the second time Tunney has held the American title. He won it first by outstepping the decrepit Buttling I,<evinsky, then lost it to Har. ry (ireh and in a return battle gained the official decision over Pittsburgh Harry.

Sheehan and Gonialea Australia Leads Japan in Davis Cup Competition • ■ Anderson and Hawkes Tri umph Over Nippon Team at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Australia's ten nis stars—James O. Anderson, cap tain of the team, paired with John B. Hawkes, took a long step into the lead in the final round of the Ameri can zone play for the right to play the French team in the Dnvis cup series next week at Brookline, Mass., when they swept through the Jap anese team at the South Side Tennis club today, winning a three set vic tory, 6-1, 6-2, 6 2, in the record time of 41 minutes. The Japanese team, composed of Zenzo Shimizu and Selichlro Kashio, won only five games. They were completely outplayed and outclassed the Australians’ harder service and their accuracy in hitting the lines enabled them to wado through the Nipponese with astonishing speed. The Japanese pair frequently were caught flat-footed in the center of the court watching the speeding shots of the Australians drop at their feet or go whizzing overhead. Captain Anderson, the sixth foot Australian star, played a remarkable game. His cannon-ball drives and quick volleys to the net kept his Japanese opponents on the run from the start. He drove with such force that the Nipponese could not place their returns. Anderson was mainly responsible for the Australians’ vic tories, although Hawkes’ twisting overhand service, his stop volleys and placements at the net added to their easy victory over the Japanese. Today's games virtually clinched ultimate victory for the Australians as they will have to win but one of the two singles matches scheduled for tomorrow to earn the right to compete with France.

Thomas W Cahill secretary of the United States Foot ball association, announced here to day Buffaloes in Fine Fettle and Defeat Tulsa Oilers. 7-3 s _ * Omaha Scores Enough Runs in First Inning to Win Two .Games Today. By RALPH WAGNER. r '■ ■ -1 HOSE Omaha I W Buffaloes made ! hay while tha gun ^ shone yesterday, 1 so to speak, and scored enough runs in the very first inning to do feat the cham pion Tulsa Oilert in the first gams of the series bj the score of 7 to 3. Konetchy and his hirelings bounced four I runs off th# elongated McLaughlin in the first inning and then renewed their attack on the youthful Clark. The former faced the Buffaloes for two-thirds of a round then went to the showers a los^r, after allowing the Herd four runs and six hits. If McLaughlin hadn't been so easy with his offerings in the early part of the game, the score might have been different. But the Buffaloes played a pretty good brand of ball themselves and with Lantern ^ Jaw Bill Bailey on the mound, man aged to turn the champs back in nif ty order. Left 14 Men on Bases. The Oilers had 11 men left on bases, something unusual for the Tulsa ball club, but Jack Lelivelt's employes were unable to connect with the agate * when hits could be cashed In for runs. In the fourth and ninth In nings the Oilers loaded the bags w-lth human beings, but were unable to score a man. In the third they filled the bases and only collected one run. In turing in his second straight victory for the Buffaloes in as many starts. Bailey allowed the opposition 11 singles, not one of them being an extra base clout. He held the Oilers hitless for two innings and only walked four men ail p. m. Lantern Jaw Bill wobbled several times, but each time his mates came to the rescue and by some spectacular field ing pulled Bailey through unharmed by runs The Buffaloes scored four In the first inning after two were down. Kerr singled to start the afternoon and Bonowitz lined a hot one down to Dudley Lee who got under the pel let and tossed Joe out at first. Wetzel slammed the ball out to center for a single and Kerr moved to second. Johnny played a little too far off the bag and was tagged out when Mc Laughlin whipped the agate to Lee for the out. O'Connors single to r.ght sent Wetzel to third and whefr»^ Wilcox got hit. every sack on the diamond was occupied. Boss Kcnet chy came through with one of those timely wallops to left ar.d Wetzel and O'Connor scored. Ed taking second on the play at the plate. Manush. who has been hitting at a fast clip within the last ten days, singled to center, scoring Wilcox and Kcnetchy. Hale boosted Manush to second when he singled, and ^Salley worked Mi • Laughlin for a pass, filling the bases for the third time during the Inning At this stage of the game Le*;ve'.t flashed the P O. P. to Clark and Mc Laughlin said a few»naughty words at L'rnp Held and removed himself to the showers. The Buffaloes had batted around when Clark entered the game. Kerr got his second time at bat during the inning, but the f-st he could do was to force Hale a; second, retiring the side after Omaha had scored four runs Score Again in Second. The Herd chalked up another run in ;he second when Bonowitx sent one sailing out to right field for a single. Wetzel ar.d O'Connor didn't last long at the plate, but Wilcox singled out to right field. Bonowitx going to third Tank Davis, who plays right . field for the Oilers, allowed Wilcox s single to roll right through his mitts, and when this happened Bonowitx scored and Wilcox went to third where he was left stranded when Konetchy grounded out. Tulsa got Bailey in the third when ^ Thompson singled. He knocked*** slow roller down the third base line that was a hard one to field. Crosby skied out and Clark walked Lee flew out to Bonowitx and it looked like the Inning was about over when Bennett started things by getting a single Lamb also clouted out a single, scoring Thompson Pavia knocked a fluke fiy out to Wetzel and the Buffalo fly hawk made a dandy running catch of the drive which re tired the side. Manush opend Omaha's half of the third with a double. Hale sacrificed him to third and Bailey scored him with a single. Kerr hit Into a double play and that ended things. Oilers Kill the Bases. The Oilers filled the sacks in the fourth but couldn t do anything, and in (he fifth managed to add one run to their total when Bennett singled. The old hit and run play was next and, sure thing. Lamb came through with the single to right field that scored Bennett The next three Oilers slid out In easy fashion. Tulsa's last run bobbed up tn the sixth when Crosby singled to right. Clark skied out to Manush and Lea helped Crosby along with a single. Bennett knocked a slow roller down third ha«e line and in trying to catch I.e* at second. Bailey threw wild, the overthrow allowing Crosby to score Omaha's final run came tn the cghth when Konetchy, the first Buf falo i*1 t it. clouted the ball over the ^ ' •tack I.elivelt called on three re serve* in the ninth, but with no suc cess The Oilers filled the hags and two were down when Kay went In to pinch hit for Clark. But instead of hitting he fanned out and the Buf faloes beat the champion Oilers. T to .1.
