    Jimmy Johnston to Meet A1 Seckel for Western Amateur Golf Title
—— ■ ■ fSi _ — —
Former Champ
Defeats Manion
in Semi-Finals
Close Finishes Mark Both
Games in Next to Final
Round—Portion of Con
tests Played in Rain.
By ITniverftnl Service.
HICAGO, July 25.
—Harrison John
ston of St. I’anl,
and A1 Socket of
Chit ago, will bat
ile at Hinsdale
tomorrow for the
western amateur
golf champion
ship.
Seckel, who was
r u n n e r up to
Chirk Evans as
far back as 1909,
and who gained
the title for himself at Detroit in 1911,
put Jimmy Manion, conqueror of
Evans, in a thrilling match yester
day, out of tile running today, win
ning 1 up.
Johnston eliminated Burton Mudge,
Chicago, by the same score, 1 up.
There may have been other close
finishes in western golf semi-finals,
but none was ever conducted under
such conditions as marked the play
this afternoon. The daily rainstorm
broke over the twosomes as they
were at the seventh and ninth holes,
respectively, of the nfternoon rounds.
Drenched to the skin, they played
on, until the storm ran its course
and the warm sun broke through
once more.
Johnston, who played phenomenal
ly in the rain yesterday to defeat
Eddie Held, failed to take advantage
of the soggy going today. Neither
his nor Mudge’s game was anything
to ravea bout, a 42 and 39 and a pair
of 40s on a par 37-37 course attest
ing to the fact.
Manion suffered a complete revers
al of form to that displayed yester
dey in his game battle that eliminat
ed the champion. Last night Manion
was the strong favorite to win the
title.
Elkhorns to
Make Up Deficit,
Norfolk. Neb., July 24.—During a |
meeting of directors of the Norfolk
baseball club it was decided to make
up the approximately $3,000 deficit by
giving a baseball carnival and fair
here on August 15 and 16, inclusive.
The deficit was caused by the break
ing up of the Tristate league, of
which Norfolk was a member.
During the meeting it was declared
that some of the clubs have a deficit
of .about $6,000 and that Norfolk Is
in better shape than most of the
clubs. The automobiles which the
Elkhorns used as a means of trans
portation about the circuit are going
to be auctioned off and sold to the
highest bidder.
The fair and carnival will conclude
the activities of professional base
ball here for tills year. The directors
declare that professional baseball has
been a paying proposition for Norfolk
and a balance would have been found
in the treasury if the season had
been completed. A movement for a
state league next season would prob
ably find Norfolk willing to get In.
PAXTON BILLIARDS
DEFEAT C. B. & Q,
The C. B. & Q. team, leaders of
the American league, were taken
down a notch last night when Pitcher
Harry Manley of the Paxton Billiards
allowed the league leaders but two
safe hits and the Paxton nine
emerged victors by the score of 4 to 1.
The snap and pepper which the
league leaders generally show was
conspicuous by its absence last night.
On three different occasions the loop
leaders filled the bags and failed to
score.
Gassman Injured in
C. B. & Q.-Paxton Game
"Rudy” Gassman. first baseman for
the' Paxton Billiards, was hit In the
eye by a pitched ball during the early
infiings of the Paxton Billiard -C. B
& Q. game at Fort Omaha last night.
The Billiards' first sneker was
knocked out for a few minutes after
which he was removed to a hospital
and the wounded member was dressed.
Gassman returned to witness the fin
sh of the game.

Firpo, Argentine pugilist extraordi
nary, arrived at the White House to
day with a request from the Argen
tine embassy that lie be admitted to
flip office of President Cooildge with
the usual noonday reception crowd.
In the presidential office, Luis
shook bands with a slight, sandy
haired man who complimented him
upon his physical strength. Luis,
who shakes hands with many Ameri
cans without being particularly Im
pressed, had to admit that the slight,
sandy-haired man was a person to
attract attention.
"Him was that?” he asked his In
terpreter as they left the office.
"Why, that was President C’ool
idge,” was the reply.
‘‘Dios!” exclaimed Luis as he clam
bered into tlie car furnished him by
the Argentine embassy.

Motion Pictures Reveal Tunney
Struck Carpentier Fair Blow
NEW YORK. July 25.—Motion
pictures of the Carpentler-Tun
ney niateli of lust night reveal
that the blow which felled the
Frenchman In the 14th round was
not foul. Many ringside persons de
clared the blow to have been below
the belt.
Carpentier and Tunney, with their
managers, Francois Descaraps and
Hilly Gibson, and Jack Curley, Car
pentler’s friend and ad\lser, attended
a public showing of tlie films at a
Broadway theater this afternoon af
ter which Descamps gave out the fol
lowing statement:
“A mistaken impression prevails
over the Mow which knocked Carpen
tier to the floor of the ring in writh
ing pain. It was not Tunney's glov
ed fist that committed the alleged
foul blow, it was Tunney’s knee.
"We, are making tills assertion
merely to give our side of the battle
with no Intention of registering any
romplaint ugninst any of tho officials
or the public. We are both satisfied
that the referee was fair and honest,
meant us no harm, and we are satis
fied to abide by his decision. In
conclusion, we hope for a return
match with Tunney and feel con/1
derit If allowed another chance we
can reverse the decision.”
Despite promises made by Carpen
tier before the fight that if he lost
to Tunney he would hang up hls
gloves for good and all, there Is ev
ery Indication that he will continue
hls ring activities. He is scheduled
to meet Jimmy Slattery in Buffalo
on August 4
Carpentier today was a sorry look
ing spectacle. Hls head was swathed
in bandages, hls face was swollen
and bis eyes were rimmed with blue
and black bruises. Tn the Park Ave
nue apartment where he spent last
night, he, Descamtm and two of the
lexer’s ringside aides, recounted in
cidents of the bout, though Carpen
tier did the least of the talking. A*
usual the gesticulating Desoamps was
the voluble reconteur.. Ask-1 who»h-:
er he still hnd the alumnium prote<?u
tor, which. It was asserted, Tunney
dented with the alleged foul 1 low,
Dcsi-amps said that In the excitement
of the moment after he had ripped
(he protector off Georg-*s. he threw
it to the clamoring crowd at the ring
sid.>, r
Descamps said he did not care to
discuss the decision further.

Wins Ball Game
"Bill” McKeague's home run in
the fifth Inning with two men on
base cinched the replayed gun it- for
the Woodmen against the Knights
of Columbus last night at Fontenelle
park. The final score was 10 to 6.
I’avlio started out to do the mound
work for the Knights, but retired In
the third Inning after he had allowed
several bases on balls and hits. Oar
vey, who replaced Pavllc, was driven
out of the box when MoKengue poled
out his four-ply Jolt, tihehanan, hero
of Wednesday's twilight game, pitch
ed the last two Innings for the losers.
Krajicek did the hurling for the
Woodmen until the fourth Inning,
when he was relieved by Leo Krup
ski, ace of the Woodmen staff.
Both sides played a poor fielding
game. Frank and Jim Mira sky se
cured four out of the five hits se
cured off the Woodmen hurlers,
