DAWSON REACHES SEMI-FINALS IN BRITISH AMATEUR OPEN
U. S. PLAYER
BEATS EVANS
American 6 Up and Five to
Play After Taking
Turn Three Up
GANDWICH. June 14.—
Johnny Dawson. American golf
star, defeated A. J. Evans. London
barrister and former cricket star.
In the sixth round quarter-final
match c' the British amateur golf
championship tournament. He was
six up and five to play, after tak
ing the turn three up.
Dawson, smiling young American,
has a chance to win one of the
rarest golfing trophies his home
land has seen, the British amateur
championship crown, which only W.
J. Travis and Jesse Sweetswer have
taken cwcy from Britain.
Having beaten an Irishman and
a Scotsman Wednesday. Dawson
added two more Scotch scalps to his
belt Thursday, beating Edward
Kvle and S. L. McKinlay.
Either a Scottish carpenter
named John Smith or the titled
Michael Scott will oppose the Chi
cago youth in the semi-final tomor
row afternoon. If the American
could stage another victorious day
he probably would find his oppon
ent in the finals the giant Cyril
Tolley, one of the best of British
golfers i
Bobby Baugh. Birmingham boy
who captains the Oxford golf team,
fell before Tolley Thursday, leaving
Dawson the only American survivor.
Experts who have been compar
ing Dawson to Bobby Jones today
are justifying their judgment by
citing how he has rallied in every
match after a slow start.
The play proceeded with the
usual number of upsets, the most
striking today being the elimination
of Philip Perkins, the champion.
The title holder was put out by An
drew McNair, who a few hours later
was trounced by Evans. Joshua
Crane, the Boston veteran, after
surviving native challenges lost to
Young Baugh and Baugh in turn
lost after a great struggle with Tol
Ifey. All the famous native stars
except Tolley have been eliminated.

Spudders Win Nine I
Straight Games to
Tie for Second Place
’
<Bv Associated Press'
The Wichita Falls Spudders climaxed a drive of rune straight tri
umphs yesterday by going into a deadlock with the Shreveport Sports for
the second niche in the Texas league race. A fortnight ago Jim Gallo
way’6 clan was near the foot of the class. The transformation has bor

SPORTS
TALK
Speaking of baseball—
The pressure just got too high. It
was bound to come. After a week
of wrangling, the Palmez Hat Mak
ers and the Tigers got together.
They will play at 8:30 a. m. Sunday
on the Palm Courts diamond. This
is one contest that we wouldn’t care
to umpire. If the game is as heat
ed and hotly fought as the arrange
ments, it might be a good idea to
have an ambulance run out on the
field for an emergency. And the
boys are in earnest—no press agent1
bunk about this.
• • •
Martinez will screw them over
the platter for the chapeaux
manufacturers and Aldape will
handle his slants. Salinas, smoke
ball artist, will plant his bro- !
gans in the twirler's box for the
Tigers. The slightly obese Ra
mos will do the hind-snatching.
These may not be the best nines
in the world, but they take the
games seriously and have that
old eollirh spirit.
• • •
Another “championship" fight for
the Valley. Pedro Lopez of Mex
ico will battle Oscar Kohler of Tex- (
as at Reynosa on the Fourth of •
July. The bout is being promoted
by Major F. H Blake of Fort Worth!
who is said to be associated with
a Mexican amusement company.
The American Legion post at McAl
len is lending its name as sponsor
of the Reynosa fights. According to
the major, this fray will carry the
title and belt of the southwest and
make the winner eligible to meet 1
any contender for the heavyweight
title of the south.
* u •
♦
Major Blake also has been
seeking to pull a Fourth of July
bcut in the Matamoros dog track.
Plenty of publicity has been sent
out from Fort Worth, but that is
all that has been seen here. As
at first announced, the Valley
extravaganza would have rivaled
the recent Stribling-Sharkev
fight at Miami. R^il and aerial
excursions have been announced
for bcth the Matamoros and Rey
ncsr. fight.
Ill
Wonder If the major has heard of
Camargo. Mier, Madero. the Dead
Angel Crossing. They're just across
the line. too.

Edinburg pill chasers should
see some good play Sunday after
noon when Ralph Plummer, Ed

Theron Palmer tangle in match
play with Hill Cocke and Vernon
Dixon over the Edinburg Country
club links. Golfing fans over the
Valley know these players well.
Cocke is one of the best golfers
in this neck of the woods. He
has starred several times in the
regular Gulf Coast tournaments.

Consider the case of poor Walter
Johnson Walt was forced to see
his Solons bite the dust again
Thursday. He must lmvc felt like
an old fire horse hearing the siren
as he watched the White Sox rally
in the tenth inning to win from his
club, 11-8. This added a bit to the
coals being heaped upon Walt's
head.

Five years ago. when Johnston

cellar in the national capital.
• * •
Walt is back now as manager.
The Cjlons aren’t standing so high
in the ratings. Walt is under fire
from several quarters, according to
rumors. The inference coming
from the capital is that Walter may
be asked to hand over the reigns if
the Sen rs do not improve. Ev
idently this hero vaccination pro
duces immunity from the ire of

• While the Spuds were battering
down the Exporters. 11 to 8. both
the Steers and Sports were drop

clubs. The Mavericks’ winning

a duel at Waco. 2 to 1. Hobo Car
son outlasted Oscar Estrada and
Tiny Owens as the rebellious In
dians kicked in the Sports. 8 to 6.
at San Antonio.
The combination of events served
to tighten up the standing. Al
though the Steers remained three
games ahead of their field, the
Sports and Spuds are deadlocked In
the next position, with Waco and
San Antonio in a clinch two and
a ‘half games further down. The
Fort Worth Cats, having trimmed
the Buffs again. 6 to 4. were only
a half game removed from the
Cubs and Indians.
George Washington Payne was
clouted with gusto as the Spudders
chalked up their ninth in a row,
but. as usual, his mates came to
his assistance with a barrage of
hits off three opposing twirlers.
There were 26 hits, evenly divided,
including a brace of homers by Bob
Petrie. Beaumont gardener. Bud
Sfaoleton led the upstaters’ attae’e
with two doubles and a single. A
typical Spud rally in the seventh
netted four runs and buried Ex
porter hopes, if any.
If there is such a thing as i
baseball vendetta. Jce Martin*,
probably has registered an official
one against the Waco Cubs and
their abbreviated orchard. For the
second time in as many starts the

PHILADELPHIA BECOMES
CAPITAL OF SWAT
If one would get in communica
tion with the best hitters in base
ball for a few tips on how to hit :
the ball high and far away, he has
no choice of cities.
The best hitters live during the
early summer ot 1923 in Philadel
phia. The Phillies, of all people,
are leading the National league in
team batting with an average of
.314. The leading batsman of the
league in recent figures was Frank
O'Doul with an average of 417. and
O'Doul also led in hits, more than
three score. Klein at that time lea
in home runs with 13.
The batting honors of the world
must be shared with the Athletics
however. Connie Mack's men led
the American league as a team with
308 and Jimmy Foxx. the versatile,
was the league's leading batsman
with an average of .308. Simmons
topped the heap in runs batted in
with more than 50 to his credit.
Each Philadelphia club had seven
men in the select 300 class when
the last official figures were issued.
O’Doul. the leading menace to the
other clubs, is a former pitcher who
i turned to outfielding on the Pacific
I coast after he had left-handed on
i the mound with the Yankees. The
Giants brought him back to the
big time and then sent him to the
Phillies. Once upon a time this
sentence was just the same as being
returned to the minors, but times
have changed
Another deadly walloper has been
Barney Friberg. who returned to the
wars as a regular when Tommy
Thevenow was injured, and at once
began to bat at a .400 clip. Friberg
was on the verge of becoming a
pitcher w*hen the SOS was sound
ed for a shortstop. Once a good
hitter, in recent years Barney had
i lost the combination and decided
that as pitchers do not have to hit
he would become a pitcher. Theve
now soon wiil be recovered from his
automobile hurts, but whether he
: can oust the rejuvenated Friberg
remains to lie seen.
THFRE IS HOPE FOR THE
Dl B GOLFERS YET
Perhaps the saddest spectacle in
coif is a hooeful swing from an am
bitious but inept player which
misses the ball entirely and comes
' in contact only with empty air.
Men have been known to quit the
game in disgust because they swain?
at a ball and misse^. The result -
i in? laughter has been heard around
' the course. There was no reason
for their premature retirement.
Good golfers miss the ball—not
I often—but sometimes. In the re

Dismay Rivals by
Continuing Streak
'By Associated Press)
The dash of the Pirates and the Athletics continued yesterday to the
accompaniment ot increasing consternation on the part of contenders.
The Buccaneers turned back the Giants 11 to 7 for the acctr.d successive
afternoon, gaining over every itrst division rival, but the Macks had ui
content themselves with holding fast to their eight-game lead. The A s
trimmed the Indians by 10 to 3. bun
the Yanakees kept pace by down-!
mg Detroit, 8 to 3.
The Pittsburgh game saw the
early demise of both Jess Petty and
Bill Walker, who crumpled in suc
cession in the second when each side
scored five times. Melvin Ott's thir
teenth home run with two on base
settled Petty's case in the Giant
half, and McGraw removed Walker
on suspicion in the home section
with one run in and the bases filled.
Hemsley greeted Carl Mays with a
triple and the Pirates were back in
the game after having spotted the
Giants a margin of six runs.
John McGraw tempted fate by
shoving Joe Genewlch to the fore,
and as usual Joe was marvc!
until he gained a lead of one run.
Lloyd Waner regained this advan
tage for the Pirates by means of a
triple with two on in the sixth.
Earl Shecly put on the finishing
touches in the seventh by tapning
out a home run with one on base
b " 1 " 111 . "" ~1 '
after the Bucs already had scored
one marker. Carmen Hill and Steve
Swetonlc finished in fine style for
Mr. Bush.
The Cubs were unable to reach a
decision in their five-inning game
against the Phiilies. The score was
0 to 0 when ram fell. The Cardinal
Brave game at St Louis was post
poned altogether because of ram.
The old dazzler. Arthur C Vance,
made his first start since May 18.
and the Reds would have been just
as well pleased if he had postponed
it a few’ more days. The Brooklyn
star fanned only one but he gave
Cincinnati Just five hits and the
Robins w’on by 2 to 1.
Milton Gaston added to the woes
of the Browns by turning them back 1
at Boston In a game which saw each
side get seven hits. Gaston was
steadier than Rip Collins and hta
successor Kimsey.
