HOOSIER LEADS IN GOLF MEET St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 6. —(U.R) David A. Mitchell, a pop-corn ma-1 chine inspector from Indianapolis I who nev r played in a national golf [ tournament before, held medal hon ors today in the National Public Links championship. Two former title holders failed to qualify for the matched play which finds Mitchell, 23 years old, paired against Charles Ferrara. San Francisco. Robert Wingate, Jacksonville, Fla., defending champion, had 152 while Carl F. Kauffman, Pittsburgh, had 159. Mitchell shot 148 for medal honhonors while Ferrara shot 152. The only weakness of the Indianapolis boy’s playing during the two days of qualifying competition was his failure to maintain an advantage of two under par on the first nine holes Tuesday. Aft' r shooting 34, lie came back in with a 40 for a 74. Wednesday he rallied on the I second nine for a par 36 and an other 74 for the day. Although Arthur G. Sato, the Japanese fish merchant who led the players at th? halfway mark of the qualifying round, failed to continue his par golf and took an aggregate of 150. the San Francisco four man team won the Warren G. Harding cup. The winning score was 620. four points ahead of Indianapolis. St. Paul was third with 627 one point behind was Minneapolis, while Portland scored 629 for fifth place. Sato was paired against Wesley Casper, Louisville, who shot 153 to qualify. Charles Albertus. Philadelphia printer, who was runner-up to Mitchell for medal honors with 149, was paired with George E Meade. Portland, who scored 156. El Greenway, Seattle, and William Heinlein, Indianapolis, both of whom made 159 in the qualifying rounds, were paired. — o Get the Habit--Trade gt Home

MAXIE WINS IN TITLE MATCH New York, Aug. 6 —(U.R) —Maxie Rosenbloom again has proved his right to the world's light heavyweight boxing championship, and unless a more capable contender than Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo I can be developed a moratorium on title bouts in the 175-pound divi- ! sion is in order. Rosenbjloom's decisive victory over Slattery in a 15-round bout: lat Ebbets Field. Brooklyn, last i I night, eff (“Lively eliminated the I Buffalo battler as a championship |contender. In addition it effective-! : ly eliminated all desire of the 7,000 j I spectators who witnessed the dreary contest to see any more such title defenses by Rosenbloom. The out unquestionably "was one of the poorest ever glorified by "World’s Championship’’ Billing and was as far removed from the tirring titular battles of light heavyweight history as were the gate receipts of $30,000 from the $450,000 record established by Paul Berlenbach and Jack Delaney when the 175-pound title was last risked at Elfbets Field in 1926. Slattery, once rated as the finest voting prospect in the ring and a likely successor to Jack Dempsey’s heavyweight crown, was only a shadow of his former self. He had none of the skill shown during his brilliant career as a youngster back in 1924. He had failed in three previous bids for the championship against Paul Berlenbach. Tommy Loughran and Rosenbloom only to earn another opportunity. But on the basis of his sad performance against Rosenbloom last night it is unlikely that he will again regain :► (king as a topnotch contender. In ring parlance, Slattery appeared “all washed up.” He had nothing left except his knowledge of the game and natural defensive skill and these qualifications were valuable only in that they enabled him to go through the contest with a minimum of punishment. Jimmy had absolutely no offense and he won only one round of the ontest—the thirteenth in which Rosenbloom coasted to save his efforts for a fast finish. Slattery held Rosenbloom even in one round, the third, but the New Yorker won the remaining 13 ses-1 sions. Rosenbloom, never more than a fast slapping clown, fought his usual fight and piled up the winning points .with open handed ’aps. He did all of the forcing and mtscor d Slattery by a wide margin but there was little power in I his blows and the crowd soon tired of his tactics and booed the I contest throughout the closing rounds. o Plans Coaches School South Rend.

To our friends and depositors • T’HE two banks of Decatur deeply * appreciate the patronaage of the citizens of this community. A great majority cf our accounts have contributed to the success and prosperity of these institutions and made of them the sound hanks for better service. Some accounts however with small ba ances do not pay the bookkeeping charges entailed in their care as shown by a survey recently made in both banks. We have therefore determined that beginning with August Ist. 1931 on all accounts of an average daily balance of less than $25.00, a small minimum service charge of twenty-five cents per month will be made with an additional charge of five cents for each < he< k in excess of five checks in any calendar month. e will, of course, he glad to continue to take eye of saving accounts in any amounts without charge.
