17. (Ar) The amateur golf championship of the United States passed Into Canadian hands today for the first time In history, as Rom (Sandy) Somerville, lender, S9-yer-ld shotmaker, outlasted 52-year-old Johnny Goodman of Omaha, Nth to win the closest battle for thin classic title In six year. Somerville conquered the aensa-tional young American, 2 and 1, in a championship match that was featured by spectacular flights of (coring, punctuated with brilliant putting, and packed with enough thrilling: moments to keep a gallery of 4,000 fans roaring right down to the finish on the thirty-fifth green. It was easily the most tense and exciting final since George von Elm turned back the great Bob Jones by exactly the same margin In 1926 at Baltusrol. Somerville's superior steadiness at the critical stages, plus his ability to produce his best shots down the home stretch of each round over the rolling Maryland country, clinched the decision.

The silent Canadian Scot Is the first invader to win the American crown since Harold H. Hilton, British star, was the victor in 1911. TWO BEST GOLFERS. Oddly enough Somerville does not even hold the Canadian amateur championship this yesr, although he has held this title four times and Is generally rated the best amateur In the Dominion. Unquestionably the two best golfers in the field, came together in the title, fight.

By splitting a doubleheader with the Phillies yesterday, while the Pittsburgh Pirates lost to the New Tork Giants, the Cubs obtained their 87th victory of the season and a lead of 6H games.

If the Pirates win all of their remaining ten games, they can get only 89 victories. Hence, three Chicago victories, three Pittsburgh defeats or any combination within those limits would settle the pennant race. If the Cubs defeat Cincinnati today and Pittsburgh loses two more games to New York, the same result will be reached.

He said: "A week In bed can certainly raise the dickens with a fellow's hitting.
