CHICAGO. July 25 —In the semi
finals for the championship of
the Western Golf Tournament
to-day Edward P Allig, of Milwaukee,
will be matched with Robert A Gard
ner and Warren K. Wood will oppose
Joseph C. Leduc.
Two surprises were furnished thf
gallery at yesterday's games, when
"Ned” Allis, the Harvard star, defeat,
ed Charles Evans, Jr., the champion,
and Warren K. Wood, who missed be
ing champion twice, each time by 1
point, was 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, after
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 the
strain and kept on the even tenor of
his way.
A stiff wind fr#m tffie northeai* was
sweeping the course when the cham
pion and his opponent teed off P'vans
had the honor and hooked his drive
% close to a trap Allis pitched his sec
ond 20 feet from the cup and holed
his put Evans, whose second was to
the right of the pin, took one more.
Allis sliced lus drive for the aecond
hole into a bush and chopped out
short, but to offset this mistake
Evans, who had driven 260 yards,
pitched his Recond 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 hiif
next drive to the rough, but his w-
ond Jumped the bunker guarding the
green and ran to 20 feet from the
hole. Evans took three to reach the
green and 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'
hall was too close to permit of a Jump
shot, 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 4-5
and putting him 2 up.
The home hole was won by A1116,
6-6 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, an^ from that point on It was
only a question If the chunky little
Milwaukeean could keep himself at
concert pitch as with a lead of six
holes he could claim membership In
the "I should worry'* class.
JOHNNY C0UL0N STARTS
WORK TO GET IN SHAPE
CHICAGO, July 26.—Physicians
who have been handling Johnny Cou-
lon. bantamweight champion of the
world, have released him and John
will start on to-morrow to get him
self back Into shape for some title
contests He is packing his trunks
to-day and on to-morrow will start

Then he will return, go westward and
close his match with Kid Williams.
The Logan Square battler believes he
will be ready to don the gloves about
the middle of September
"I’m going to camp out and live
as close to nature as 1 can. Rough
it will be my style for a month or
six weeks, and then I’ll be ready to
enter the training grind My physi
cian has released me and says after a
trip into the country 1 will be ready to
bo* again. I am.eager to get back in
to the game, principally to show that
I am not all in I have been censured
for my delay in the Williams fight,
but I knew I wasn’t right, and I
wasn't gblng to disappoint a hungry
fight crowd by a poor showing,” said
John to-day.

WOLGAST AND JONES PART;
WILL MANAGE OWN AFFAIRS
LOS ANGEI.ES. July 25.—Ad Wol-
gast, former lightweight champion, js
doing his own matchmaking now.
He and Jones, who acted as his
manager during Wolgast's successful
ring days, have separated—not that
there is any trouble between them,
but Ad feels he needs no manager
now that he is no longer the title
holder. Ad said to-day:
"Until I win the championship back.
I will be able to attend to all my
matchmaking myself. If at any time
I make a good match and need Jones'
assistance, he w'ill be the man to at
tend to my affairs I also want it un
derstood that my old friend and man
ager and I are still the best of friends
and pals, and If at any time I can
make good again, Tom Jones will oe

B Y way of giving our heroes a
lift on every poesible turn of
fortune’s wheel during the
present hectic little road trip, it
rained yeeterday tn Montgomery.
Diagnosis of this seemingly simple
weather note Informs us (1) that two
games will be played ihis afternoon,
unless (2) It rains some more; which
means (3) that the two-ply grapple
probably will end tn a dog-fall, so"tbnt
(II 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 chib to lose two.
So It Is rather unlikely that the pres
ent series will be as decisive as it
looked before the bottom fell out.

L AMPING the station of the Nash
ville Volunteers in the Southern
League landing doesn’t offer much
enlightenment concerning the stal
wart efforts now making by the man
agement to cheer up that club.
For the present season, that Is.
) yhe 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 buz* with ru
mors and well-grounded reports of
deals by which one William Schw-artz
is adding to the power of his pay
roll. and. incidentally, to the tax upon
the exchequer.
The latert noise sounds like Mel
ville Brannon, of the spectacular col
lege brand of 5»lab-worker, and the
idea is that Schwartz has snared him
j away from J. Dobbs and that the Ten
nessee Industrialist student soon will
I inhabit a Nashville uniform.
Pitcher Roland, 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 Kime circuit, also is expected to
join the rookies, but probably won’t
play this seaeon Schwartz is still
dickering for “No-Hit Babe” Adams,
of Savannah, and Hoffman was added
to the roster at a considerable expense
a short time ago.
Bo 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 same happy
vein, it is noted that President
Hirslg, of the Nashville club, la un
der way in the direction of Detroit for
a conference with President Navin.
the object being to retaih Frank Gib
son. the speedy and hard-hitting lit
tle catcher, for next season.
It is known that other clubs are
sweet on Glbby. and it la possible that
he may be destined to travel with
Detroit in 1914, but Hirslg 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
able for his club next year. ,

Association.
The terms of the swap mention
Outfielder Davy Jonee and First Base-

young one, as the Toledo contribu
tion to the deal.

JESS WILLARD AND BILL
YOUNG STILL HOPING
LOS ANGELES, July 25.—Jess Wil
lard and Bill Young, "white hopes,”
were matched to-day for a 20-round
boxing bout August 22 at the Vernon
arena. Willard hopes to make a few
successful starts here against lessor
lights, and then will go after a "Gun
boat" Smith match again.
HURLER SMITH ON SICK LIST.
BOSTON, July 25.—The Cubs’ crip
ple list had another addition yester
day. Pitcher Charley Smith is^on-
flned to his bed, suffering an attack of
heart trouble, thought to be an after-
math of his prostration by heat In
Cincinnati a few weeks ago. Zim
merman is in Chicago for treatment
of his injured foot.
RAIN STOPS RACES.
BUFFALO. N. Y.. July 25.—Heavy
rain yesterday afternoon stopped the
grand circuit races at Fort Erie after
the first heats of the 2:09 and 2:11 pace
Weather permitting, the two unfinished
races and the free-for-all pace will be
run off to-day and the grand circuit
stars will move along to Grand Rapids.
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 spent the winter prowling about
free luncherles seeking what he may de
vour? In summer he kicks when the
humming birds’ ears are underdone or
the finger-bowls are not filled with 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 only 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 i6
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 breaJt 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 Bres-
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
GAMBLING.
(By A. Magnate.)
To gtumole is a deadly sin,
A deep and lowly vice.
] scorn the man who tries to unn
Rtf wagering his pile of tin
Upon the rolling dice. #
To gamble is a thing of shame;
/ look at it askance.
Dame Fortune is a fickle dame,
And so T play a dead sure game
And never' take a chance.

Tortorich Seeks Classy Bouts
N"
BigG
By Ed W. Smith.
EW ORLEANS is now safely es
tablished on the boxing map
as 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
Coffroth 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 erf ring
history decided in its environs, and
threatens now to taae just as 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 claBS were bat
tling for real titles.
* • *
B 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 is* not believed
that there will be any further oppo
sition to Dom’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-
** torlch has been stung by the
belt bee. and now has a welDdevelop-
ed case of trophy fever. One week
from next Sunday afternoon, Domi
nick will present his» 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 that Denny,
the home boy. should have been
awarded the victory. They are some
partisans down that way. To settle
the question, Tortorich nailed them at
once for a cojntest over the long route.
MOBILE SENDS KELLY BACK.
MOBILE, ALA., July 25.—Outfielder
Jack Kelly, obtained by Mobile from
Jersey City, has been sent back to that
club on account of an apparent inability
to make good with the Gulls.
