Orion, Mich., Aug. 2ft. —(U.Fj—More than ; 170 golfers, the cream of the mid-' west, set out over the difficult Inlianwood course today in an effort to qualify for the 72 holes of medal | play -which will determine the 1930 western open golf championship. At the end of the 18 holes of play today over the rolling fairways and cleverly-trapped greens | d the Indianapolis course, 118 of; the field will move into thy select group of 150 who will begin competition tomorrow for the title. Th'rty-two of the list which qualified for the finals in last year's tourney are automatically exempts from the necessity of qualifying o: this year’s preliminary play. Th 150 who remain tn the running for the title w 11 play 18 holes Thursday and 18 holes on Friday, with the low 64 at the end of the 36 holes of play moving into the championship round. The 18 holes which will be played Wednesday will not count toward the championship. The exempt group includ 'd Tommy Armour, the dour Scot who cut the western open’s 72-hole total to 273 when he won last year at Milwaukee to set a mark six strokes under the best previous mark mad? in a major competition; Ed Dudley the always dangerous professional of Wilmington. Del.; Al Espinosa of Chicago, who played off Bobby Jones for the national open champ'onship at Mamaroneck, N. Y., in 1929; his brother Abe, who won the western open title at Chicago in 1928; Jack Hutchinson, a previous -.vinner of the western open championship; Gene Sarazen, a former national open champion; and Horton Smith, the sensation of recent winter golf seasons. Heading the list of those who are forced to prove their right to compete in the tourney are Walter Hagen, four times winner of the western open championship and twice the national op n champion; Chick Evans, the only amateur who has been victorious in the western open since its Inception in 1890; Johnny Farrell, 1928 national open champion; and Al Watrous. Michigan’s hope in the present tourney. o Too Many "Gazette*” As founded by Franklin In 1728. the periodical now known as tiie Saturday Evening Post was entitled the Pennsylvania Gazette.

It’s | equipment and premium list are . 1 unsurpassed by that of any othei < i state. The scope, of its interests • attest the sagacity of its promote J ers. The Indiana Board of Agriculture has followed a consistent ‘ i policy of expansion and improve- >| ment until every interest of the > State is represented in the ex- ) hibit. This year’s fair promises j to surpass any previous year in i quality and quantity of exhibits. “The State's support of this inI stitution has made possible adequate housing and no pains are ' being spared in placing exhibits I where they can be shown to the I best advantage. “Education is properly emphasized, and boys’ and girls’ clubs are encouraged by liberal premiums.
