Open Title Wins Metropolitan Open Golf Title RDY ALPERT TO GET GIANT TRIAL Cubs Regain the Lead In the Pennant Race With a Double Victory Wild Bill Mehlhorn Wins Met. Open Golf Title on Lido Course With 288 By THOMAS HOLMES. The Chicago Cubs climbed back into the National League lead yesterday afternoon by the simple method of walloping the Brooklyn Robins twice while the Pittsburg Pirates were dividing a doubleheader with the Giants.

The adjective simple is used advisedly. The Robins beat themselves in losing a 6 to 5 10-inning decision comparatively early in the afternoon; In the second game they never were in the battle and were trimmed by the count of 4 to 1. Chicago's lead is not as big as a house nor as wide as a By RALPH TROST. WILD BILL MEHLHORN. not so wild as one might believe, is the new Metropolitan open champion.

At Lido yesterday Mehlhorn gave a most remarkable exhibition of chipping and putting to fine his play with a remarkable 68 for a total of 288. Just 21 strokes better than Marty O'Loughlln scored on the same course when Marty won his Met open title back in 1922. Wilfred Cox finished in second place with 291. Cox having started from a position seven strokes behind Mehlhorn and nine behind the accented leader eolnz into the 1" Jamaica Pitcher Reports. Will Leave Tonight.

Roy Alpert, 18-year-old Jamaica High School pitcher, who today possesses a quarter of a million dollars in his own name, will entrain with the New York Giants when they leave for Chicago tonight. Alport, rated as the most promising pitching prospect the public high schools of New York have produced in recent years, will be given a three weeks' trial by John McQraw during the Western invasion of the Giants. He reported to McQraw yesterday at the Polo Grounds. Since pitching his Jamaica team to the P. S.

A. L. championship of the city and holding the opposing teams to two earned runs all season, Alpert has attracted considerable attention by major league scouts. Dave Driscoli of the Brooklyn club tried to get him, but the Giants were a little faster and McGraw per Can't Bear It! I 31 mr IP1' Pit suaded the wealthy youngster to go with him. Alpert hasn signed, how ever, for at present he intends to complete his education by taking a year's course at Htm School of Princeton and four years of business administration at the University ol Michigan.

Roy inherited his wealth through the will of his father. Max Alpert. who passed away, Feb. 1. He has a third share in the Alpert Woodworking Company of Snediker ave Brooklyn, and will inherit a quarter share of the million-dollar estate.

During the past season he allowed only two earned runs in 13 games, struck out 111 batters in 91 Innings, figured in six shutouts, pitched 34 consecutive scoreless innings and a total of 81 out of 91 scoreless innings and allowed 39 hits nil season. His batting average was .357. Alpert is 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighs 180 pounds and will be 18 years old on Aug. 25. He is an all-around athlete, for he plays tennis, basketball and swims.

Despite his wealth, Alpert likes the idea of playing hi the big leagues. If he makes good, he and Percy Jones will become the wealthiest plavers in the game. His trin with the Giants will take him to Chicngo, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Pittsburg. American Doubles Aces Trounce German Team In Davis Cup Tennis BERLIN, July 20 (JP) Once again France and America will fight it out in the final battle for possession of the Davis Cup, historic emblem of tennis supremacy among nations of the world.

By conquering Germany this afternoon on the courts of the Rotwelss Club in the doubles for their third and decisive match of the series, the players from the United States won the inter-zone round and the right to challenge France for Pirates Split Twin Bill With Giants, but Lose League Lead and Grimes By HAROLD C. BURR. The Smoke Eaters from Pittsburg won the first game at the Polo Grounds yesterday from the Giants, 5 2, and lost the second, 8 4, but their victory was more costly than their defeat. Burleigh Grimes pitched the opening encounter. He was hit dn his pitching hand by a slam from Bill Terry's bat in the seventh inning, 50,000 people silently watching the impending tragedy.

That was Pittsburg's hard luck. It didn't so much matter they lost the lead over the National League pack by the Heimach Starts Rally and Helps Hugmen Win Second From Indians. (Special to The Eagle.) Cleveland, July 20 Southpaw pitching won and lost here today for the New York Yankees, who divided a twin bill with Roger Peck-lnpaugM's Indians. Joe Shaute's portslde flipping stopped Miller Huggins' troupe abruptly for an 8 to 4 setback in the early afternoon, but the relief pitching and batting of Fred Heimach started the Yanks off on a rampage which eventually resulted in an 11 to 6 victory in the second game. Cleveland didn't take very kindly to the offerings of Herb'Pennock and started to maltreat the silver fox breeder' most selected curves as early as the first Inning.

From then on it was apparent that the Yankee pitching convalescent hadn't picked an auspicious afternoon on which to try for his fifth straight victory. They got Herb out of there in the sixth inning only after Lew Fonseca, erstwhile cantof! of the Phillies and Reds, had blasted out a home run in the fifth with two mates aboard. Wiley Moore came in, and Immediately chipped in with an error. Henry Johnson was next, and Hug-gins derrlcked that worthy after he had walked Joey Sewell. Edwin Wells held the Clevelanders down tolerably well thereafter, but It didn't make much difference, for 'the tribe Just breezed in behind Shaute's mound work.

I.azzerl Get Homer. The New Yorkers made Just one Indentation of any Importance on Shaute's offerings, and the kingpin of that rally was Tony Lazzerl's luth home run of the season, which came in the sixth Inning after Combs hud singled and Gehrig doubled. Tony had scored the Yanks' only other run during the Inning before, when he doubled and worked hi passage around on two Infield outs. The Indians re-enarted a little drama entitled "The Innocents Abroad," when they lalrly slaughtered the oderlnKS of youthful Itoy Sherld, who made his recond major league start In the second game. The Pcckmen pried him loose from the mound in the fifth, but then i wished they hadn't been so rash, because Fred Heimach proved anything but easy to hit.

The Yanks dabbled around in malle consignments of runs early in me game, as did the iiidian. Joey Sewell. first man up In the 1 1 hi 9 iiiiiuiH. prtKHirn me Dan over the right field screen for a home run. and two Innings later rode In ahead of Averlll, who tripled.

That three-ply wallon was the occasion for Hherld removal.

Then the Huggins brigade sud denly took a notion to go In lor wholesale production of runs, and i a five-run outbreak In the seventh' was the result.

There was a lull brfore the atorm purer" grounded out inofTmslvely, but til YANKEES BILL WITH CLEVELAND CLUB last 36 holes. Cox smashed the course record in tne morning by three strokes and, under pressure in the afternoon, played a 71, one under par for a total of 1S8 strokes for the day. Henry Clucl. the little darkhairei! pro. from Mill River, up near Bridgeport, also staged a gallant finish, rolling oft a 70 to take place away from some vastly better known pros.

Leo Diegel and Jim Barnes tied for fourth place at 298, with Gene Sarazen, Mac Smith and Craig Wood tied at 300. Maurice McCarthy the Metropolitan amateur champion, upheld his right to the honor by leading the amateurs. "Wild Bill" Boots Par Round the Course. There Just was no stopping Wild There was little chance of keeping him away from the coveted title as there would be trying to stop a steam engine with an egg crate. Bill Just bowled par over.

Throughout the morning Mehlhorn and par had quite a tussle. Mehlhorn had to stage some fine recoveries to keep his score from piling up much higher than 74. But in the afternoon Bill just kicked par around and It succumbed without a complaint. Bill appeared due for his usual 5 on the 384-yard first hole, but a neat chip to within six feet of the hole and a single putt got the ball down in two shots from off to the left of the green. Bill Just eked out his par on the 421-yard second.

On the Channel hole, the famed 460-yard par 5 with two water carries, Bill got across one on his drive and the other with an iron, but he by breaking through Moldenhauer's service and Van Ryn then won his own at love. Prenn captured his service game, however, coming to the net behind his delivery to score brilliant volleys. Fine team work on the part of Allison and Van Ryn made their lead 31, but they dropped the fifth game to the Oermans, who played well together at the net. Games followed service until the eighth, when the Germans broke through Allison to make it 4 all. The German pair went ahead at ft 4, having lost but one point In three straight games, but they slumped into errors in the tenth and the Americans drew level again.

The Teutons pulled up from 1530 to win the eleventh. Both teams were playing fast and well. Broke Through Prenn. Gaines followed service until the Amerleuns broke through Prenn to lend at 87, but Allison in a letdown last his service In the sixteenth. Retreating to the back court the visitor captured the seventeenth with a series of fine lobs and forehand drives.

Van Ryn. serving, stood at set point in the eighteenth game but made two poor shot In succession, and for the first tune lost hi own service. Prenn took the nineteenth game at love. Then, with fine volleying, the Oermans broke through Alllvjti to win the first set at 119. The temporary success of the German aroused the gallery to a high pitch of eager Interest.

There were groans when the home plavers lost a point on a net or out. The smc-tators were Impartial In bestowing Heir plaudits, however, the good shot of both sides. Moldenhauer opened the second set Willi a love game which he fin-lhd on" with a sharp service ace. The Germans also raptured Van Rjn's service to lead at two-love. I.nd of Cirrman Drive.

Hut here the German drive was to end. with AIIimiii sending over drives from the back court that were too hot to handle and Van Ryn guarding the net. the Americans won the third and lourth to draw level. They then took the next earn ol llicin from deuce, to win the second act at 62, with a run of six games The third set began with Moldenhauer serving, but the plaremcnls ol AlllVin and Van Ryn. who now v.ere plavtng sparkling tennis, gave the American their seventh straight.

Prenn and Moldenhauer temporarily broke up the Americana' fine volleying to win the ae-cond game of the third set, and thev forged ahead on Prenn's fine service, aided by Moldenhauer at the net. Van Hvn a volleying rauturrd the fturth game cleanly, but the (ler- nan countered bv taking the filth game and again aere In the lead ank Hnn Three In Row. With a whirlwind rtnh the American won the next three games, b'll (ier being at set point In the ninth they made errors and the lead wa reduced to antitea to llfr Van barn door. In fact, they lead the Pirates by a scant three points. But it was a most optimistic band of Cubs that trooped oft the diamond at Ebbets Field In the cool of yes terday evening.

Each swagger seemed to indicate that the pennant was "in." 1 The pitching of Guy Bush and Fred Blake proved too much for the Robins. This brace of Chicago right- handers fooled even the greal Floyd Caves Herman, who leads the Na- tional League in batting. In eight times at bat, Mr. Herman was able to secure just one scratch single, his' .400 batting average suffering accordingly. In his last tune at bat the colorful Babe showed just how he' felt about it by throwing his black war club Into the screen after fouling feebly to the Chicago catcher.

Errors caused the defeat of Wat-, son Clark in the opening game, while one unfortunate inning ruined Jughandle Johnny Morrison in the second encounter. It seems that errors and unfortunate Innings are always cropping up when the Robins face the Cubs. So far this season, Brooklyn has played nine games with Chicago and has lost nine games. The boys are beginning to regard the Cubs as a team inhuman and invincible, Morrison's Unlucky Third Inning. That the Robins were embarrassed twice in the course of the -afternoon was largely due to a succession of "flumper5" hit off Morrison in the third inning of the second game.

John Schulte, the veteran truck horse ofa catcher, started all the difficulty with a single through the infield to right. That seemed to upset Morrison, who walked Pitcher Elake. Butch Henline's snap throw to Bancroft caught Schulte a couple of miles off second base, and that seemed to remedy the situation somewhat. But English hit safely through the infield to right, Blanc reaching third. Heathcote dropped a Texas League single in left that Bancroft barely missed, Blake scoring and English taking second.

Hornsby brought English in with a clean single to right. A pass to Wilson filled the bases. Stephenson fouled out. and then Capt. Charley Orimm came through with a looping fly back of third base that fell for a double among three straining Brooklyn fielders.

That made the result of the came a pretty foregone conclusion. The Robins did not score until the rlxth and then collected all of one run on Gilbert's single. Herman's infield out and Bissonctte's double to right. After which the Robins lapsed into their trance once more. Morrison, too, was effective.

He allowed not another run up until the time of his removal for a pinch hitter in the seventh. Doug McWeeny finished) the game without permitting a hit. I lark Outpitrhes Neighbor Guy Bush. In the opening contest Clark out-pitched no less than the leading pitcher of the National League his Mississippi friend and nelgther, Guy Bush. But the slender Brooklyn southpaw was decisively outlurked by his angular right-handed rival, who hung up his seventh consecutive victory when base hit followed Rhlel's fumble in the 10th and who now boasts the slick record of 13 wins and one defeat.

Neither team furnished its pitchers adequate support for the brand of flinging on display. Zach Taylor muffed two throws In the very first inning to help the Robins sneak into a four-run lead. Fredericks double opened that rally and singles by Gilbert and Bressler helped the good cause along. After that. Clark had all the breaks the bad ones.

Every Chicago rally started with two men out. In the second, the Cubs scored twice after Bancroft's bad throw to second on cinch force play, missed retiring the side. In the fifth doubles by English and Hornsby, followed by singles by Wilson, Cuy-ler and Stephenson piled up three runs and put the Cub in front. All with two out. Bancroft's double nd Plclnlch' single in the Brooklyn seventh puller the Robins even.

Tw Oat la Tenth Before Cabs Rally. The first two men had been retired when Rhlel, who replaced Flowers at second base after Harvey Hen-drlck had hit In an eighth Inning pinch, pulled hi fatal boot. Cuyler hit the softest sort of an easy roller, but tore down to first so swiftly that Rhlel hurried the play and erred moot grievously. Neat conservative singles by Stephenson and Grimm batted Cuyler around and dn pall of gloom settled over the ball park to remain the entire afternoon. Net.

-The Robin Uke one more crack at the Cubs before leaving for Pittsburg and the start of their Western invasion tonlrht. Dam Vance hi hid his four full tjay of rut. which indicates a storm In the offinr. The Cub have always been Dasry'a "cousin." Cliarlry Rftot will provide the pitching opposition.

A a putt, however, sufficed a birdie 4. Cox Had Opportunity To Set Final Pace. Cox's 67 had drawn him among the ranks to those also playing right up to the front where, starting out on the last lap, he was lied with Mehlhorn. It was Cox's fortune to be started earlier than Mehlhorn, which put it up to Cox to set the pace and Mehlhorn to beat it. Cox was over the secend Just about where Mehlhorn was.

Mehlhorn got his par 4. Cox didn't. That gave Bill the edge. They played even to the 5th. the tricky cape hole, where Cox, trying to shave off distance, was bunkered with his pitch shot and, after exploding out, needed two putts for a 5.

Mehlhorn, riding the crest, pitched on to within six feet of the hole and dropped the putt. Tha6 gav Bill three shots lead. MehU horn's aluminum-headed driver caught the ball prettily and sent a fine drive winging for 240 yards down tlie sixth fairway. Mehlhorn played well to the right and Just missed the rough. Cox had tilerl the same shot but.

being five yards farther to the right, fiund the rough. Bill's well-hit spoon drova the little ball throuch the clear air right up to the green, a distance of some 220 yards. Once on, Bill got down in two putts for another birdie. That put him four strokes ahead of Cox, who had to play safa to get out of that rough. Indications Were for Great Final Round.

The standings at the end of the 54 holes in this championship hid Indicated a great finale. What with Cox and Mehlhorn tied at Sara-fj Just two strokes behind and Cruickshank, Diegel and Henry Culd bunched at 224, with Mac Smith, Maurice Mcarthy and Jim Bares six strokes behind, it appeared as if thia last round was going to be one glorious scramble. Mac Smith missed the green with his second shot and atfer chipping on took three putts. He played the Channel hole in par; but against the sort of golf being played in this final round that meant a stroke lost. Mac was then eight shots to the rear, too many to hope to re-rain.

Jim Barnes plugged steadily along, dropped a shot at the second, missed the green with his No. 3 iron shot to the third, took Ave shots cn tha trip over the waters and three putted the dog-leg sixth after havtnf been on with a drive and an iron. That ended Barnes' hope of winning. Blast of ollcPe Whistle t'pseU Wood Drive. A shrill police whistle blew a blat Just as Craig Wood started on tha downswing on the first tee.

Wood thereupon plowed Into the turf and sent the ball winging far to tha right, off Into the white and shinty sand. It took the golden-haired Kentucklan seven shot to get it from there Into the hole. Exit Crala Wood from the rolls of those who might win. It took Just two drives to separ ate little Gene Barazen from gettli, anywhere. Oene.

the man who Mehlhorn feared most, started well. He was even with Bill to the channel hole, but there missed his 'nlil-Iron shot. The ball crossed the aster. But It didn't carry the cavernous bunker In front of tha green. The former national open and P.

Clark has lost an even dozen games, more than any other pitcher in the National League. But at least four or five of his other defeats were as hard to take as yesterday's. The second game was not without its squabbles.

Catcher Schulte raved over a third strike and was bounced out of the game by Umpire Pflrman. An inning or two later, Dave Bancrofft yelped loud and lone when McCormlck called Hornsby safe on an alleged steal of second. He, too, was canned.
