C HICAGO July 25.—In the semi- \
finals for the championrhip of
the Western Oolf Tournament
to-day Edward P Allis, of Milwaukee
will be matched with Robert A. Gard
ner and Warren K. Wood will oppose
Joseph C. Leduc.
Two surprises were furnished th-
gallery at yesterday’s games, when
“Ned*’ Allis, the Harvard star, defeat
ed Charles Evans. Jr., the champior.
and Warren K. Wood, who missed be
ing champion twice each time by 1
point, wap compelled to play 39 holes
to defeat Frazer Hale, of Omaha
The pill of defeat so often admin
istered by Champion Evans was
swallowed by him when Allis defeated
him, 4 ar.d 3, in the third round.
Allis Stood Pace Well.
At one time in the afternoon. afttr
Evans had won the sixth and seventh
holes, it looked as If the champion
might at least produce a tight finish,
but Allis never cracked under th»
strain and kept on the even tenor of
his way.
A stiff w ind from the northeast was
sweeping the cour?** when the cham
pion and his opponent teed off Evans
had the honor and hooked his drive
close to a trap Allis pitched his sec
ond 2f> feet from the cup and holed
his put Evans, whose second was to
the right of the pin. took one more.
Allis rllced ms drive for the second
hole into a bush and chopped out
short, but to offset this mistHKe
Evans, who had driven 250 yards
pitched his second into the bunker
guarding the green, and the result was
a half in five.
Both were on the third green in
two, Allis being 30 feet short and
Evans 15 feet to the right of the pin
They halved In 4. Allis hooked his
next drive to the rough, hut his sec
ond Jumped the bunker guarding the
green and ran to 20 feet from the
hole. Evans took three to reach the
green ahd ran his approach close to
the hole.
Allis Makes Great Shot.
Allis stymied himself on his third
and then made one of the most re
markable shots of the match Evans’
ball was too close to permit of a Jump
phot, and the boy played a follow bil
liard shot, hie ball knocking Evans’
ball a little to the side of the cup and
following in. giving him the hole 4-
and putting him 2 up.
The home hole was won by Allis,
5-6. Allis, after hooking his drive,
made a fine second, short of the creek.
Allis was 3 up at the interval.
A good start in the afternoon meant
a lot to Evans, but his chances went
tobogganing when Allis won the first
3 holes, and from that point on it was
cr.ly a question if the chunky little
Milwaukeean could keep himself a;
concert pitch, as with a lead of six-
holes he could claim membership in
the "I should worry” class.

B Y way of giving our heroer a
lift on every possible turn of
fortune's wheel during the
present hectic little road trip. It
rained yesterday In Montgomery.
Diagnosis of this seemingly simple
weather note informs us (1) that two
games will be played this afternoon,
unless (2) It rains some more; which
means (3) that the two-ply grapple
probably will end in a dog-fall, so tha;
(4) the series will have to be decided
to-morrow.
Assuming it doesn’t keep on raining.
Most double-headers are split. It is
hard for a good club to win two games
in one afternoon. It is nearly as hard
for a decently poor club to lose two.
So it is rather unlikely that the pres
ent series will he as decisive as it
looked before the bottom fell out.

L AMPING the station of the Nash
ville Volunteers in the Southern
League standing doesn't offer much
enlightenment concerning the stal
wart efforts now making by the man
agement to cheer up that club.
For the present 5»eason. that is.
The Vols are more than a dozen
games behind the leaders, and the day
of miracles is popularly reported to
be past.
And yet the wires buzz with ru
mors and well-grounded reports of
deals by which one William Schwartz
is adding to the power of his pay
roll. and. incidentally, to the tax upon
the exchequer.
The latent noise sounds like Mel
ville Brannon, of the spectacular col
lege brand of slab-worker, and the
idea is that Schwartz has snared him
away from J. Dobbs and that the Ten
nessee Industrialist student Soon will
inhabit a Nashville uniform.
Pitcher Boland, of the recently ex
ploded Interstate League, has been
turned over to the Nashville club,
and is expected to succeed Jack
Brackenridge. Dave Bunting, from
the .«ame circuit, also i« expected to
join the rookies, but probably won't
play this season. Schwartz. Is still
dickering for “No-Hit Babe" Adams*,
of Savannah, and Hoffman was added

So it looks as if Sir William might
be looking forward to 1914—which,
by the way. isn’t so bad a thing to
do.

/CONTINUING in the Fvtme happy
^ vein, it is noted that President
Hlrsig. of the Nashville club, is un
der way in the direction of Detroit for
a conference with President Navin,
the object being to retain Frank Gib
son. the speedy and hard-hitting lit
tle catcher, for next season.
It is known that other clubs are
sweet on Gibbv. and it is possible that
he may be destined to travel with
Detroit in 1914, but Hireig is confi
dent he has* the inside rail, and be
lieves he will keep his pet receiver.
While in Detroit. Hirsig will look
over the books for new material avail

McNulty to-day brought suit against
the Federal League baseball club of

TEMPERAMENT.
There are two classes of ball players—
those who have temperament and those
who have brains.
Temperament is an enlargement of the
cranium common among athletes who hit
In the .300 class. Or. one might say that
temperament is temper with a college
education.
A temperamental athlete Is as hard to
handle as a greased eel. What though
he has spejit the winter prowling about
free luncheries seeking what he may de
vour? In summer he kicks when the
humming birds’ ears are underdone or
the finger-bowls are not filled wjth rose
water.
Some athletes are condescending
enough to talk in friendly terms with
the owner of the club, but such cases
are rare. As a rule he considers it a
favor to allow the manager to talk to
him, and he plays ball oniy because the
public cries for it. For if he were to
quit, the pastime would be left flat on
its back.
In order to attain a temperament, an
athlete must first attain a .300 batting
average. Otherwise nls temperament Is
merely a bum disposition, and the man
ager stings him for a fine and kicks him
on the shin. As an Immortal poet once
wrote:
He thought he had a temperament,
But found that he had blundered;
For he was fined a whole week's pay—
He could not hit ,300.
Ty Cobb, the temperamentalest athlete
in captivity, wants to break away from
Detroit. Some say this is due to temper
ament. while others hold that it is due
to horse sense.
With Archer in the hospital and Rres-
nahan In bad, we wonder what the Cubs
would do if some vile wretch were to
step on Tom Needham's bunions.
The board of supervisors in San Fran
cisco refuses to allow Sam Langford to
do battle with Charlie Miller. Mr. Miller
owes the board of supervisors a vote of
thanks.
Marty Cutler showed in his alleged
battle with Carl Morris that as a pugilist
he is a good wrestler.
Some day Tyrus Cobb will create a
sensation by announcing that he is sat
isfied with the way the universe is being
run.
GAMBLING.
(By A. Magnate.)
To gamble i* a deadly sin,
A deep and lowly vice.
I acorn the man who tries to win
By wagering his pile of tin
Upon the rolling dice.
To gamble as a. thing of shame;
I look at it askance.
Dame Fortune a fickle dame,
And so / play a dead sure game
And never take a chance.

CUE CYANS CHEMICAL CO.. Cincinnati, C.
By Ed W. Smith.
N EW ORLEANS is now safely es
tablished on the boxing map
a9 a safe and sane center in
which twenty-round contests may be
held. At least this is the statement of
Dominick J. Tortorich, the Jimmy
Uoffroth of the South, who has firm
ly put the game back on a standing
akin to the conditions that prevailed
there in the good old long ago. New
Orleans, be it remembered, had some
of the most famous battles of ring
history decided in its environs, and
threatens now to take just ag promi
nent a place as it got when John L.
Sullivan and Jim Corbett, Bob Fitz
simmons and Jack Dempsey. Jack
McAuliffe and Billy Myer, Fitzsim
mons and Jim Hall and Dan Creedon
and others of that class were bat
tling for real titles.
* * *
D Y sheer force of character and
through demonstration that the
boxing game can be kept free from
scandal, and that It does not verge
into the old class of "prize fighting."
Tortorich has carried matters along
until he has won over almost every
executive in Louisiana to his way
of thinking, and it ie» not believed
that there will be any further oppo
sition to Dorn's plan of holding
twenty-round contests from now' until
next Spring. And Dom believes he
will be able to show all of the box
ers that it will be strictly to their
interests to pay some attention to the
nice offers that he is going to make
to them.
• * •
ALONG with Tom McCarey. Tor-
^ torich has been stung by the
belt bee. and now has a well-develop
ed case of trophy fever. One week
from next Sunday afternoon, Domi
nick will present hip first belt to the
boxers. On that day he will have
Wildcat Ferns, of Kansas City, and
Young Denny, of New Orleans, in the
first elimination test for the new wel
terweight championship that he pro
poses running during the present
summer and coming fall. These boys
battled ten rounds there July 4, and
Ferns was awarded a verdict that
started a near-riot among the spec
tators. many believing thfit Denny,
the home boy. should have been
awarded the victory. They are some
partisans down that ^ay. To settle
the question, Tortorich nailed them at
once for a contest over the long route.
