KEEN COMPETITION RESULTS AMONG GOLF PROMINENTS AS THEY STRIVE FOR OPEN TITLE

STARS TRAVEL FAST PACE ON TOLEDO LINKS Jfttk Hutchinson One Stroke in Front at Half-Way Station. "ENGLISHMEN NEAR TOP BY ROBERT HARLOW. International News Correspondent.

TOLEDO, Aug. 13— A thrilling inter national finish was assured today when the final 36 holes for the American open golf championship was shot at the Inverness Country club. The most celebrated golfers played up to form in the first two rounds of play and were bunched within a few shots of one another at the top of the field. Many here believe the real ugnt for the title will be between Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, the Englishmen, and Walter Hagen, the American champion. While Jock Hutchinson, Leo Dlege! and .Tim Barnes topped the Britons going into the final rounds, it was thought that Hagen, the home-bred champion, Would supply the real fight against the Englishmen in the final round, HCTCHINSOS LEADS WITH 145 SCORE. Vardon, Ray and Hagen were tied at 14T shots each, when today's play started, while Jack Hutchinson led the field at 145 with Diegel and Jim Baraes tied for second at 146. Eddie Loos, at 149: Chick Evans ans Bob McDonald at 150 and other good players such as Bobby Jones, Mike Brady, Freddie McLeod and Louis Tellier were not so far behind as to be out or the running. A lot can happen in thirtvsix holes. Golf enthusiasts from many cities came to Inverness today to witness the stars shoot for the title. Automobiles were parked in all available space near the clubhouse. The gallery numbered around 6,000. The weather was threatening. In the event of a tie for first place at the end of seventy-two holes there will be a playoff for the title Saturday morning at eighteen holes. HOOSIER STAR* FALL IN SLUMP. Indiana's chances and hopes for a na-1 tional victory were blasted yesterday, when Johnny Simpson, veteran Indianapolis amateur, and Gene Sarazan, 19-year-old assistant professional at the Ft. Wayne Country club, went Into a slump. The field is perhaps the greatest that ever gathered for tournament play and the Indiana golfers could not follow the fast pace. Simpson did a 73 In the morning round yesterday and was home with a 77 In the afternoon. Sarazan opened yesterday's work with sensational stuff, but slowed up early and took a pair of 795.

Champ Starts West to Pitch Camp for Labor Battle Dempsey Disregards Friday Jinx and Departs—Rates Miske Tough Customer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13—This day—Friday, the 13th —means very little apparently in the life of Jack Dempsey, for he designated it as get-away day for Benton Harbor, Mich., where he is scheduled to meet Billy Miske. St. Paul heavyweight, in a ten-round no-declsion contest there Sept. 6. Dempsey was scheduled to start for Chicago late today and from there will go to the Michigan resort to wind up his training in the arena where the bout will be held. Dampsey is in the very finest condition. Whatever may be said of him he can not be charged with not having trained faithfully for his fights. He Is ready now to step in and make a hard fight of any encounter. Considerable respect for Miske is in the analytical mind of the heavyweight champion—more than when the match was made. Folks who have been feeling sorry for the Minnesota man and arguing that he is a set-up for Dempsey, probably will be astonished to learn that Miske stands a good chance of outweighing the champion when he faces him. His long layoff while be recovered from an illness, served to build his weight from around 175 to 196. Dempsey was not able to put the St. Paul heavy on the floor in their two meetings. After the bout in Benton Harbor the champion may go direct to Boston. Promoters there ire angling for his services on uct. 1. And chances are they will get him.

Griffin _ln the semi-final round of the annual Newport Casino tennis tournament here today. In the doubles finals. Johnston and Griffin were to swap tricks with Richard Harte and R. Norris Williams. Johnston and Griffin were the favorites. Johnston easily defeated the formenational champ. It. Norris Williams, in the round bef* re the seinl-flr.als yesterday In straight sets, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. WILLIAMS FLAYS POOR GAME. The defeat of Williams was expected by the majority of the gallery, but his showing against the national title bearer was nothing short of a huge disappointment. It was believed that thin pa'r would stage a great battle, but Williams was decidedly off his game and played rugged tennis, virtually beating nms'lf by his continuous nets and outa of re turns from his opponent. Williams ahowed dashes of brilliant work, but Johnston’s cleverlv planned •hange of peace upset him every time ne seemed on the right track. In the doubles semi-finals. Williams played a much better game than he did in the singles, seeming to have full command over his strokes. He and Richard Harte went Into the finals of this tour ney by winning from W. F. Johnson and S W. Pearson, middle states champions 7-5. 6 2. 6 3. FORCED TO SHOW SPEED. Johnston and Gridin were forced to the limit of their üblllty to defeat Davis and Roberts In the other semi final doubles match in four sets. The scores were 6-1, 3-C, 6-4, 7-5.

"I believe Darago lost his reason temporarily in the heat of hi* enthusiasm for the JSaltimore team, therefore I simply will fine him this time.”

WHERE BABE CARRIES THAT RECORD DRIVING POWER

Babe Ruth can drive a baseball farther than any man who ever carried a bat to the plate. Fans ask how he does It. The secret lies In Ruth's shoulders and back. Here Is a picture of the Babe's back. It does not show uustiai muscular development. It is not the sort of back you see In pictures of the “Modern Samson" in front of. vaudeville houses. There is no gToup of corded, knotty, outstanding muscles over the shoulder blades such as the strong men of the vaudeville stage expose to the audience. Ruth's hack Is massive and powerful. He carries plenty of muscle in his shout ders and beneath the shoulder blades, i layers extending down the back, covering I the lower ribs. It Is “loose" inuscie. "working’’ muscle and not “exhibition" muscle.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13,1920.

The shoulders and back of the Home Run King.

A physical instructor. In search for athletic material, will pass by the men with the knotty, hard, corded muscles. Men with such muscular development are "muscle-bound.” They have plenty of hardened muscle, hut little useful strength. It is an old and established fact in boxing that no man with a heavy supply of hard muscles ever made a good fighter, for a man developed like that cannot hit with speed. The strength that lies in Ruth’s shoulders and hack is apparent from the massiveness of It, not from muscles that are knotty and bulging. He has the physical equipment of great athletes. The wonder meii of competitive sport are built like Ruth, or Uuth is bulit like they a .’e. Ruth at one time had ambitions to be-

James opened on the mound for Oantillon, but decided he wasn't right after a few’ innings of effort, so he g'ave way to Hovlik. The second local hurler was wild and, after doing considerable damage, he left tbe mound in favor of Schauer, who was not much better. The Indians collected twelve hits against thirteen by the Millers, but the Hooslert got the more walks and the locals committed the more errors. Thera was no question about it being a wild game under these circumstances, and the 2.000 fans present were kept Jumping thioughout the fracas. Wheu the Millers started their ninthinr.ing rally and the Tribe defense cracked, Jack Hendricks Dished Paul Jones out to warm up, but- before Paul got ready Rehg came through with his g .me-eniiing catch. The misplays that helped the Millers in the ninth were committed by Whitehouse, Wolf and Henline. /.willing got back in the game, but didn't stay for the finish because of his weak ankie, and Kores was used again. Rcilley was still too sick to play and had to remain at the hotel. SAINTS MASSACRE COLONELS. ST. POUL.
