Wood Piatt Shoukl Make Good Showing in British Golf Tourney By CHARLES "CHICK" EVANS. NATIONAL AND WESTERN 60LF CHAMPION OF -THE UNITED STATES. (Copyright. 1921, by UnlTfrjal Serricc. Inc. ) J. Wood Platt'is one of our young players older than Bobbie Jones, tyit still very young. He has held no great honors and won neither of our big championships, but careful observers of his game have prophesied that he will hold both at no very distant date. He comes from Philadelphia and holds a' fine record in that city where competition is keen and so many good golfers arc being' developed. I do not think that I had ever seen him play until,, the . national amateur at Oakmont, near Pitts burgh, and I was struck by the ex cellence of his game. He is noted for the quickness of his playing, and in that ' respect he might 'be called the George Duncan of Ameri can amateur golf. The 1919 national amateur was the first "in which he had ever qualified and he distin guished himself by defeating no less a player than Francis Ouimet. He is a particularly fearless golfer with a wonderful match playing ability. Mr. Piatt did not quite come up to sanguine expectations at Roslyn last year, but he playsd well enough over that difficult course to justify the fine enthusiasm of his friends. He was beaten by Xed Allis of Mil waukee, who is a very good player, and he put out the then champion, S. Davidson Herron. That is a pretty good record in only two na tional championships. I can see no reason why this in Table Rock Enjoys . Athletic Carnival; Feature Wrestling Table Rock, Xeb., May -12. (Spe cial) The Ideal theater of Table Rock was crowded to its ' utmost capacity by a scries of sporting events which were pulled off under the aus pices of the - American Legion of Table' Rotk. . The first event was a three-round boxing match between Cecil Horton and Hollis Burow, two local lads of the Table Rock High school, who made things lively for a time, and stood . even at the end. of the bout. Next came a wrestling match between Harland Taylor and Edwin Freeman in which the- latter won in 6 minutes 40 seconds. ' ' Next event was three-round boxing match between the Jones brothers, Orville and Glenn. To have seen them yon would not have thought they were brothers, as they waded in from the sound of the gong to the finish. Next came a- one-fall wres tling bout between Joe Branck and Gleen Kent, in which the former won in 8 minutes. - But the main event of the evening was the wrestling match between Charles Blecha, a Table Rock boy who has made for himself a wide rep utation in athletic circles as a wres tler, and Jess Marlin of Auburn, one oi the best wrestlers in Nebraska, and who has won 27 .matches out of 30. at Auburn. ' Marlin won the first fall in 8 minutes 10 seconds, with a head- scissors bar lock. Blecha won the second in 9 minutes 10 seconds,, with a punishing toe hold. Marlin sus-' tained injuries that f tit him out of the ,1 match and he conceded the matcn to Blecha. Stanislaus Zbyszko Throws Kotsonaros Columbus. O., May 12. Stanis'laus Zbyszko, world's champion heavy weight : wrestler, defeated George Kotsonaros. local heivyweight, in straight falls in a wrestling match last night. .The champion secured both falls' by toe holds, the first in. 55 minutes and the second in 13 min utes. .. .

League Hitters 1 i sr Johnston, third-sacker of the Brook teresting, youthful, very blond golfer, who sailed into - prominence by defeating Francis Ouimet the first time he ever played in a national amateur tournament, should not make a good showing in Britain. His fine game, good health and sturdy self-reliance ought to carry him far in any golf event, whether in this country or across the sea. Frcd Wright is a very!-, young player whose achievements in junior golf are better known in the east than in , the west. He is compara tively new to national golf, but he went out in 34 at Roslyn last year, and anyone who can make 34 at Roslyn belongs in tne very best class.' He tied with Bobbie Jones for low score at Roslyn, but was rather-badly beaten by Bobbie in the third round of the same event. ' All who have seen him play speak highly of -his game, and his future looks roseate. His chances in the coming British event are as good as anyone's. Creighton High Wins Close Game "Fritz" Hansen of Central Pitches Excellent Ball Smith Still Undefeated. The Creighton base ball nine de feated Central High 'yesterday for the second time this season at Miller Park by a 3 to 1 score. The game was featured by superb pitching by both Hansen of Central and Smith of Creighton.. - Hansen allowed only six hits and struck out 18 men. His support was faulty at times. While Smith's hurl ing was not equal to Hansen's, he received errorless support. He al lowed the Central men seven bingles and whiffed 17 batsmen. Hansen pitched himself out of a bad hole in the second inning when, with the bases full, be fanned three men in a row. ' Clement registered Central's lone tally ;n the fourth inning, when he hit safely, and scor ed on hits by Hughes and Way. Creighton scored one run in each of the last three innings. Sofio made a run "in the fifth on a freak play and an , error. - McAullof scored a run in the sixth on a walk and a hit by , Redmond. Creighton scored again in flic seventh on hits by Glica and Smith... Bee Dope Sheet OFFICIAL SCORES. WEEK ENDING MAY 14. Western league. Mid. Tol. R. M. T. W: Wk. T. F. 0 17 1 ..

Penn State, 4: New York U, S. 300-Yard Holes Become Easy3's New Golf Ball Can't Check Champions Duncan and Abe Mitchell. What is the future of golf driving? was a frequent question after the efforts of George Duncan,' the British open champion, and Abe Mitchell, to out-distance each other in their first meeting of the present season which took place on Jthe Camberley Heath course, Surrey, on April 6. 'They played wifli the new standard ball.. Careful observers made it that their average full drives measured at least '280 yards. They were turning holes of 300 yards into one-shot holes, or, at any rate, holes that de manded no more than a tee snot and a little run up. Some of these drives were made against a mild breeze, and others with it. Some examples may be given. At the sixth (297 yards) both were nearly on the green from the tee, and Mitchell got down a putt of . five yards for a 3. At the 12th (316 yards) both drove to within 35 yards of the pin, and Duncan holed a putt of two yards for a 3, Mitchell missing one of less than a yard ior the same figure. , Drives Green of 304 Yards. At the 15th (304 yards, against the breeze) Mitchell hit a low, skimming drive over the broken ground and heather to the near part of the green and got down a putt of two yards for a 3. At the 16th (313 yards, with the breeze), Mitchell drove fully 290 yards into the'fcmgh hollow in front of the green. To think, remarks the London Mail, that in the days of the gutta-percha ball, less than 20 years ago, holes of such length would have called for a full iron shot after the best of drives! The officials of the club had no doubt as to the ac curacy ot the measurements ot the holes. They had been taken properly by surveyors with chains. s And yet some say there is no need of a slower ball! An Unsolved Problem. Duncan and Mitchell made it clearer than ever that the ball of the new restrictions a maximum weight of 1.62 ounces and a minimum diam eter of 1.62 inches has not achieved the purpose. And curiously enough, said the London critic, the well known amateurs who plaved with a light ball at Sunningdale found that they lost very little distance through it. bo that the solution to the prob lem of driving distance seems to be as far off as ever.

When Albert Cahn, veteran bil liard player of Nebraska, defeated Ralph Stephens in the final game fof the state three-cushion champion-; ship last Tuesday night, he rung tht curtain down on his career as a cue wicldcr in city and state tourna j nirnts. ! Following his 50 to 48 victory over Stephens, the "father" of the ' jtreen-cloth game in this state de t cidt-d that it was time for him to retire. Cahn has been wielding a wicked cut in billiard matches for more than 40 years. When the first state tourney was organized and staged in 1912 Cahn was the first to enter the event. He succeeded in defeat ing Harry Symcs in a close game in the finals for the first Nebraska championship. The veteran held the laurels of Comhusker land for four years, and, then when the playing tactics of the game were revised and the tournament made an open affair, more out-of-town "slickers" came to Omaha to try their luck at winning the title. . After holding the championship for four years, Cahn lost it to Chambers and after regaining the crown dropped it next to Sciple Symcs also held the honors for season, but during the following tournament Cahn won the final match and championship. Besides holding state champion ship, Calm, who is a member of th Omaha Athletic club, has held the title of the cluh. Last winter he lost the honors to Dr., H. C. Sumney in one of the hardest fought matches ever held at the club. - Although, Cahn has passed the 61 mark in ye-s, the veteran is npt going to retire from all sports. No, not at all. Cahn is a member of that tribe of men who journey each Sunday morning to the Field club links to play golf. He also expects to keep polished up on billiard play ing, however, not entering any more tournaments. John Wilson, middleweight champion.
