" Smarting tinder the sting of seven consecutive defeats, the Yellow Jackets were out for revenge this afternoon when they met South Side. The Cut tinmen have been greatly handicapped this season by a lack of dependable pitching. Shamerloh, a fresh-i man. has been showing improvement ; on the mound lately and was slated to do the hurling against South Side this aftetnon. Coach Curtis stated that he probably would shift his lineup considerably for tlie game today. Either Roop or Bell will get the pitching assignment in the game with Portland Thursday, the coach intimated today. The Panthers managed to nose out the Yellow Jackets by a onepoint margin in a game played at Portland recently. Mark Bills, coach at North Side high school. Fort Wayne will umpire the game this afternoon, and Ward Gilbert, also of Fort Wayn» will officiate in the Portland game. Coach Curtis announced today that the following athletes will carry the colors of the local school in the sectional track and field meet at Fort Wayne. Saturday: Captain Anadell, Gerber, Cole; Hill; Roop; Bodie; ('. Reynolds and Greene. Bodie a fresh, man looked good in the high jump in the conference meet, last Saturday, leaping over the bar at 5 feet 4 inches to tie for second place. Greene, also an underclassman, is developing into a hurdler of ability. He wen his heat in the first round of trials at the conference meet, but was eliminated in the semi-finals. Anadell has a good chance of placing in the dash events : and Reynolds in the pole vault.

Staff Correspondent).. .. Sandwich, Eng.. May 8 — (UP) — With the prominent American contenders well in the van and believed assured or qualifying, the field in the British open championship set cut today upon the second round which will determine the 100 or more golfers who are to enter play for the title now held by Bobby Jones at Atlanta. The 100 low scorers, including ties ,'or last place, will qualify for the championship proper which starts over the Royal St. Georges course tomorrow. • A deteimined British bid to bring the open title back to- this country, where it has remained but once in the past seven years, lost some of its menace when the leading golfers from the United States crowded to the sere in the opening qualifying round. Honora on Monday were fairly evenly divided between Britons and Americans, but Walter Hagen. Bill Mehlhorn. James Marne, Gene Sarazen and Tommy Armour succeeded in turning in better performances than Archie Compston Abe Mitchel and Arthur Havers.

Walter Hagen's play yesterday, while it did not result in the lowest score, was recognized by golf experts as superlative and "Sir Walter," who won the British open championship here at Sandwich seven years ago. has been made a favorite in the betting. "Wild Bill” Mehlhorn's 72 overthe St. George's course was the best card turned in Monday. Following him came George Duncan, Jack Smith, the long driver, and the veteran Len Holland. Perhaps the best performance of Monday was that of Will Davies, the British pro. who shot a 73 over the Prince’s course, which, because of a chilly, whistling wind from the sea. was far more difficult than St. George, yesterday. Hagen’s 76 on the Prince's course, for instance, was considered quite a® good as Mehlhorn’s 72. while Little Joe Juado from the Argentine, who Where Service Is } Paramount 1 five hundred room f 1 hotel located in the g ■ down-town section— I | only three blocks from i I the "circle" | J Excellent parking | i i j facilities j I SPINK ARMS I HOTEL S' INDIANAPOLIS t EH.
