    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

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.

1 To Meet for World’s Light - Heavyweight Title
Gene 'Tunzuzys'
a M'c Tt# u <2. V0V7X’
Mike McTigue, world's light heavy
wciglit champion, and Gene Tunney,
American titleliolder, are to meet soon
with the championship at stake. Tun
ney, veteran of the A. K. F., and
product of army boxing, has been on
McTigue's trail ever since the Irish
lad forevnr endeared himself to all
Hibernians by winning the title from
Battling’ Siki, the Senegalese, in Dub
lin on St. Patrick (lay.
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.

Australia Leads

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.

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.
A double header Will be played this
afternoon between the Oilers and the
Buffaloes, the first game storting at
2 o'clock.
