OF UNITED SUITES
DEFEATS HARRY COOPER BY
THREE STROKES AFTER BE
ING DOWN TWO 13TH HOLE
QAKMONT. June 22. (Jp)—Showing
the same grim determination which
brought him a tie for the open goli
championship of the United States
Thursday Tommy Armour defeated
Harry Cooper by three strokes after
being down two on the 13thh hole.
The score was 76 to 73. The pair
reached the turn all square, but “Light
Horse Harry” went out and gathered
strokes on each of the two succeeding
scores. Then the persistent Scotch in
Armour began to tell. He clung to
the fairway tenaciously and by the
time they reached the 18th hole the
match was squared again. On the
short 16th Armour rolled .his second
■shot to within four feet of the pin to
go down in par three, while Cooper
missed a 12-footer after a poor ap
proach and took five being then down
two. From that point on it was Ar
mours’ match. He shot at least six
holes in two strokes under fours. It
was unbeatable golf, and Cooper could
not nearly match it.

HOUSE TOPS LINED WITH THOU

ATLANTIC FLIGHT
ST. LOUIS. June 22. (JP)—1Thou-'
sands gathered on the housetops of j
this city and shouted a thundrous wel- J
come to Captain Charles Lindberg

Louis,” loomed like a white bird on!
the horizon after his non-stop flight
from New York. He arrived at 3:25,
about nine hours after he left New
York.
For 15 minutes after he arrived
Lindbergh circled the city before he
proceeded to Lambert Flying Field.
There a crowd of 5,000 persons -await
ed him. There were 2,000 troops and
only 3,000 persons, but they made up
in cheering welcome what they lacked
in numbers to make Lindbergh’s wel
come the biggest ever.
Crowds in St. Louis were held down
by the fact that rain made waiting j
extremely uncomfortable, and the fact
that the newspapers had been publish
ing for days warnings to the public
not to attend the landing in great
numbers, fearing a mob scene such
as took place at Le Bourget and Lon
don. A large crowd had also traveled!
to Scott Field, where it was reported,
the flier might alight.

committee Captain Lindbergh proceed

af the welcoming staff where he spent j
the evening resting.

off for New York saying he was going
to fly the Atlantic for the $25,000 Or

ly except his backers and friends. To
day a victor and a hero he was ac
claimed as no one has ever been ac
