port was erratic, bet he held his nerve and finished with colors flying. Jones did no*- allow a hit until the sixth fr.nr.i Pitcher liobertson getting n double ir that round. In the meantime the Indians had scored six runs and later they added a seventh when Butch Henllne crashed out a home-run drive In the eighth. Butch's homer was the only safety the Tribesmen obtained in the last three Innings, but they could afford the let-down because they had bit timely In the early Innings and had amassed a safe lead. KoiLley broke the scoring ice in the first frame, when he singled, moved up on Wolf's sacrifice, stole third and counted on Rehg’s sacrifice fly. Rehg hit the ball far enough to get a triple, but Reb Russell came through with a spectacular running one-hand catch in deep right .center that was the feature play of the game. Rellle7 got around again in the third, Behg driving him home with a double over Left Fielder Jackson's head. The Boosters spread out again in the fourth and fifth, scoring twice In ench session by timely hitting. The Millers did not see the plate until the seventh, w hen Wade started it off with a double sod a combination of errors followed, giving the visitors two runs. Ia the ninth the Cantillonits tried for a big rally, but were checked after two rnns went over and the Indians put another victory away in the old bat bag. Manager Hendricks' changed lineup was somewhat erratic, but it is believed that it will work ont properly. Schrelber was at third. Smith at short and Wolf at second, and, though each made an errot in the new positions, it is thought that they will deliver up to style with morej practice in the strange territory. Paul Jones got himself a silk shirt; by blasting a triple in the fourth, scor*lng two runs. Henline's inslde-the park homer v *>nt between left and center and rolled t. the fence. It was Butch's second hit eff the game. Jimmy Smith made a neat cattfl* of a fly in left field in the eighth, lit was Reilley's ball, but the Tribe sigjnals got crossed and Jimmy had to bustle) to make the catch. Three cf the visitors’ six hits came in the ninth Inning. Caret was warmed up to go in if needed. Field Umpire McGloon was less excited and as a result he got along in satisfactory style. Robertson tried to slow ball the In,tUans, but had little success in the early Inings.

COLT VS. VET IN TITLE PLAY Sparks Get3 Golf Chance With Resener at Kokomo.

KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. 7.—Today th* golfing skill of Bobby Resener, Kokomo star, who has weathered many a weary battle on the links, was to be tested by Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute, just out of his freshman year at college, and not far past that stage In the game that he has played with great form on thß Eokorno Country club links this week. The youth and the veteran were to meet in the final thirty-six hole scrap of the Indiana state amateur golf championship tourney. Dope, what there was of it, favored Resener because of long experience in the game, but not because he has outclassed the youngster to a great advantage nu the tournament. A solid week of tournament golfing is both a physical and mental strain and many times the brilliant players crack in the "final rounds before the steady old war horses. That is what a few of the gallery expected Sparks to do today.

YOUTH EXPECTED TO MEET TEST. However, the majority of those who gathered at the first tee long before time for the match to start were of the opinion that the Terre Haute boy would give the veteran one of the greatest battles of his career, and possibly send him down to defeat. The Ilesener-Sielken semi-final round match yesterday was hooked as th • headliner, but the Indianapolis player went off on a balloon trip after tLi. first nine holes, letting Uoserier tak‘ iliings as be wanted them, and when night came it was realized that Spark* and Taylor had staged the real thriller. Sparks won his match one up, while Resener was eight up with seven to go, Resener was never down to the Indlnnapolis star and former state champion. They reached the first turn with everything even, Sielken taking the ninth hole, but after that the Kokomo man opened up with a display of brilliant shots that took all the fun out of the show. Sielken’a early play was not sc bad as It appeared to be when compared with the doings of Resener. The Kokomo representatipe had a lot of extru class and he used every bit of It. MATCH DECIDED AT THIRTY-SIXTH HOLE. The Sparks-Tayior match was decided at the thirty-sixth station. Both men drove Into the bunker to the right of the home green and the toss of a coin decided that Taylor should play first. His mashie pitch to the green failed, his ball hitting the bunker nnd rolling back Into the sand. His next shot was on the green, but his fourth did not sink. Sparks won the match when h sank his putt for a three. The scores of the Rt .r-Sielkeu match follow: Sparks used bad judgment on th* thirty-first hole and It came near costing him the match. Both men drov* Into the ditch on this hole and had evident unplayable lies. Taylor dropped back and took his penalty, while Spark* tried to make his shot, only to lead his ball into a worse position. He vus lucky to halve this hole. In the committee cup finals of thirtysix holes. Dronberger of Terre Haute beat Hunt of Kokomo. 1 up in 37 holes. In the president's enp. Young Byrns of Lafayette boat Tuite of Indianapolis, 5 and 3, and Shaffer of Riverside, Indianapolis, beat HamiU of Highland, Indianapolis. 4 and 3. , In the directors' cup-flight Biedler ot beat Ledbetter of South Bend, 5 up. In the secretary's cup flight Richard Patten won from Bert Ijains, 11 up nnd 10. Herat of Kokomo won the flnals in the goodfellowship consolation with Frank Bllnford of Indianapolis, the runner-up. In the goodfellowship flight Callender won the final with McCulloch, taking the runner-up trophy.
