U. (AP) Sammy Mandell, who is finding It increasingly difficult to make the necessary lightweight poundage, is through with the so-called "kerosens circuits," and is out after gold. Instead of taking on lesser lights in smaller cities as he has been wont to do in the past after defending his lightweight crown, the "Rockford Sheik" expects to throw up hts titles frequently during the coming season. He engages Luis Vicentini, the rougti one from Chile, In a non-titular 10-round skirmish at the Chicago Stadium tomorrow night. Mandell and his manager, Eddie Kane, admit the reason is their desire to get the money.

(AP) Usually It take until around the final day to pott the tournament record of Bobby Jonn but for the first time In six yean It can be done before the aecond day of competition starts. Before he began his bif winning streak, Jones was eliminated in the second round at Chicago in 1A23, by Max Marston, the winner that year, but the four-time champion met defeat In the first round for the first time yesterday when he bowed to Johnny Goodman of Omaha.

Defeat Of Bobby Jones Is Stunning Blow On Coast Georgian's Putter Goes Awry And He Loses To Johnny Goodman Only To Have Conqueror Eliminated By 18-Year-01d Boy In Second Round By ALAN J. GOULD Associated Pr Sporti Editor PEBBLE BEACH, Sept.

5 Like the boxer who left his punch in the gymnasium, it now seems that the great Bobby Jones, after coming all the way across the Rockies to show the boys out here how he does it, left his par-cracking game in "the practice rounds. Unquestionably below his best form, Jones was eliminated yesterday in the first round of the national amateur golf cham- 'pionship for the first time in his career as the 18-hole "jinx matches" raised havoc with the first tournament ever held in the "far west. Johnny Goodman, 20-year-old Omaha, star, accomplished the downfall, of the national open king and four-time amateur tltleholder, by the narrow margin of one up In a match decided on the home hole, but actually tossed away by the defending champion on the 14th. Goodman in turn was knocked out of the tournament In the second round by another giant killer, 18-year-old William Lawson Little, of San Francisco, But for the day, at least, the cornhusker enjoyed the rare thrill of fairly beating the world's most renowned exponent of the royal and ancient game. The outcome of the hecllo first two rounds of match play left eight players three from the far west, three from the east, one each from the midwest and England, to battle It out today In the S6-hole quarter finals.

In this free-for-all scramble for the crown lost by Jones, these contestants were paired today as follows' Cyril, ToIIey, British cb mplon, vs. Dr. 0. T. Willing-, Portland, Jess Sweetser, New York, s.

Chandler Egan of Medford, George Volght, New York, vs. Ha lson Johnston, St. Paul; Francis Oulmet, Boston, champion in 1913, William Lawson Little, San Francisco. They were to play holes, starting at 9 a. with 10-mlnute Intervals, and another 18 or less beginning at 2 p.

m. Over the longer route that prevails for the remaining tournament play, the 36-hole distance that has been so much to the liking of the dethroned champion in four of the past five years, the favorites of the "last eight" were the Briton, Tolley, and the New Yorker, Volgt. on the basis of their sensational scoring yesterday, appeared to have regained their best form for the critical stages of the tournament, Just as the reverse seemed true so far as Jones was concerned. The defeat of Jones was not only a stunning shock to the form-players, who had made the Georgian an almost prohibitive favorite, but a somewhat melancholy abrupt blow to the expect atiorfs of Calif ornlans eager to see Bobby do his stuff. This has been a "Jones tournament" from the start Every native son seemed to have turned out to welcome the southerner All the ballyhoo emphasized the dominance of Jones to the almost complete exclusion of the field.

Wr be PPIIatd wlfh what mingled feelings a crowd of some 5,000 jammed around the last rreen yesterday to see Jones mi his hist desperate putt and Goodman play through with a confident dash that meant victory.

Byrne care to bet $200 on the of course, to place the money? The engineer from Lexington forked over $200 and the horseman disappeared.

Byrne decided to go to Lincoln fields and watch the bangtails perform. He further decided to put $300 on. Brockway to finish second. The race was a keen disappointment to him, Brockway couldn't seem to get After what barge saw her trailing 11, but by the end of the race she had overcome all but three who had taken a great great advantage at the start. Labor Day at Silver Lake Miss Bullock won places In several races for girls, and In a two-mile swim for boys, she was the only girl to enter, finishing second.

Joe Daunoris, well known swimmer, took first place in the race, but it was a great feat performed by Miss Bullock in passing six other men swimmers over the two mile course. The 19-year-old Akron district mermaid swam on the Roman Pool team at Miami Beach in 1927 when she resided in that Florida resort, She also was a member of the Florida state high school championship swimming team of Ida M. Fisher in 1928. That high school team broke four records in winning the state scholastic title. Two were broken by Miss Bullock, one the distance plunge In which she set a mark of 62 feet; the other a mark of five minutes, 44 seconds, for the 440 yard relay swim.

She was one of three members on the relay team. Miss Bullock at Kent State college is studying physical education and hopes to Instruct in high school swimming when she graduates.

(AP) "Take him out feet first, men." This may be the command at the ringside as a result of the order issued by the Illinois state athletic commission today, requiring promoters to have two stretchers ready to remove knockout victims unable to walk out of the ring.

The usual procedure has been for the handlers to toss the losing fighters over their shoulders and carry them out through the crowd. The commission has considered this a very ungentle-manly way to treat a boxer after he has been knocked out does her training at Silver Lake daily to keep in the pink during the summer and In the fall swims the pool at Kent State College to keep in trim. The Kent girl, formerly of Miami, topped her numerous achievements in the water this season by winning her state title at Brady lake in a three mile distance swim which she covered In one hour, 34 minutes. Two others In the race finished far behind Miss Bullock, who was at no time forced to show her complete power. The state swim was1 held Aug.

True enough, he scored a 70 in his first qualifying round and tied Gene Homans for the medal with 145, but his approximate 75 yesterday, alhtough a stroke better than Goodman's medal score, was below the Jones' standard. Since match play was the thing, the medal tally didn't mean much, and but for a number of "breaks" in his favor, the Georgian might have been polished off without the necessity of going the limit. Jones got into more trouble in one round than he usually does in a whole tournament.

He started so raggedly that he lost three successive holes. He was only one down at the turn after taking 3 putts on the short seventh, and squared the match on the 12th for the first and only time. Then the 14th; Jones fired two long shots to within easy striking distance of the green on his 555-yard layout while Goodman in the rough from the tee, was forced to play his second from under a tree. Bobby then fell short and Into a trap on his third, barely exploded to the green and took a six while Goodman got down from the edge in two putts for his par 5 This furnished the deciding margin, for Goodman played the last four holes in par to resist all of Bobby's challenges. am.attr 01 fact lncne' separated Goodman from settling the Issue on the 17th green.

On the last hole, Jones' second shot rebounded to the lairway from a tree and he pitched woefully short while Goodman shot foot wide of the hole hard t0 C8n hi but pped a The other principal casualties of the first round were George Von Elm, beaten on the first day for the third straight year since he won the title in 1926; Gene Homans and Gibson Dunlap, qualifying play stars; and Phillips Finlay, a California favorite and 1928 semi-finalist. Finlay was put out by the San Francisco youth, William Lawson Little, who took Goodman's scalp In the afternoon. Tolley not only established himself as an outstanding contender with two one-sided victories, the first over Eddie Held by 7 and 6 and the other over Fay Coleman by 8 and 6, but hung up a record breaking 33 for the first nine, three under par in the afternoon. The Babe Ruth of golf, so far as hitting power goes, had his putting touch with him and made par look easy. Scarcely less brilliant was George Voigt, who whipped one Portland, favorite, Vincent Dolp, in the first round by 4 and 2 and then another Don Moe, the western champion, in the afternoon by 2 and 1.

The New Yorker went out In 34 against Moe, whose par golf left him two down "Jimmy" Johnston and Jess Sweetser had close calls In the first round, where each was carried an extra hole, but breezed through the second round Johnston whipping Roland Mackenzie, and 3, while Sweetser disposed of Johnny Lehman, former Big Ten champion, 8 and 4.
