More than one hundred of the State's best golfers will start in the State tournament opening Monday at the Chain-o'-Lakes, South Bend, to battle j for the State's championship. In the j natural course of events, the finals will be reached nest Saturday with 36 holes between the pair which survives the semifinals. The field in point of nunibers and reflections of golfing class will be the brightest that ever fought for State honors in Indiana, accord; jA to Secretary Jesse Mossier who. does not base his opinion from entries already In. The great majority of the players "will pay their entrance fee tomorrow and Monday morning at the tee Golfers will come from all parts of the State and from twenty seven clubs, members of the State association. The entrance fee is $2 and will be received tomorrow at the Oliver Hotel or Monday < at the Chain-o'-Lakes course. Robert Resener of Kokomo Is the . State champion, winning last year at Kokomo. He will be on band to de- 1 fend his title and a warm defense wil! be needed, for the dope is that there will i be some crack players on hand ready to , take It away from him. if he falter in the least. STARS WILL orposi: champ. The choices to win the championship, besides Kesener, are Baxter Sparks, run- j ger-up last year, of Terre Haute. Burr Bweery of Lafayette, Charlie Taylor A Laporte, Johnny Simpson of the Indianapolis Country Club, all of whom have tasted championship honors. These men are all sterling golfers. Besides there are some s, ore of good golfers, some one of whom may have the stuff to come out of the field and grab off the honors The Chain-o’-Lakes course Is In the best of condition. Lading In low, marshy ground. It has net suffered fr m the burn Ing summer's suj and the Cbaln-o'-Lakes Club has done the utmost to keep the links in fit shape. Golfers who have plated tver the course wheu the weather was dry, have said that the Chain-o'-Lakes course was a model of golf ex celience. The course generally takes a carry on most of the shots. It has plenty *t chances for out-of-bounds shots water- twiilr'i troi’hb s. of th- Western lolf Association will prevail. The Western rules are less aevere than the U. S. G. A. rules, es Serially on the out-of-bounds, the lost TmH and the unplayable lie, when loss of distance without a penal.y will be the only cost. One of the special features of the week Will be a father-and son match. James C. Patten of Kokomo, president of the association, has donated a trophy for this event. Another feature will he the team match in which any club having four players or more in "the qualifying round may count the four lowest scores for the thirty six holes. The players on the winning team will receive a trophy. _ LOCALS GET EARLY START. Indianapolis will send a good body of golfeae to the tournament, many of whom start for South Bend today for the prat? tiee rounds tomorrow. Highland will send such golfers as Williams. Lennox, Tuife. Van Landingham. Barrere, Banford and Ayres. Ralph Young and Joe McDuffie will be unable to attend. The Cotjntry Club will have a strong team, but will be without the servli-es of Eddie Zimmer. Riverside will send Kfsseil. Viator, Bchaffer Mossier. Lehman. Bali. Conn and several others. South Grove will send Weiser. Brown. Hernia uv. Glendenning and perhaps some otners. Paul Sbldeler. whose long drives are the talk of the Irvington course, will take care of Irvington's interests. As to who will win? The answer is the tournament itself Sparks should give a good account of biinsejf. for he has played much golf this year as a member of the Princeton UniVersity team, and has taken part in the Western amateur and in some other big events. Resener can't be forgotten, nor can any of the others mentioned who have won State championships. The first 32 scores in two rounds of lb holes will take part in the championship flight. Tu third 16 will compete In the Committee flight and the fourth 16 in the Goodfeilow ship Cttp flight.

Babe Falls Back of Record and Flayers See Changed Balls ; Some Say Lively and Less Lively Pellets .4 re Being Mixed in Games. By HENRY FARRELL. Lotted Press'S port's Editor. NEW YORK, Aug 6.- Pabo, the "big bam," is now at the foot of a steep grade on the way to anew home run record. For the first time ibis tkar, Ruth is actually behind his 1920 run of clouts. On Aug. 5, last year the “Bam" had con- | nected with the ball in his noted bamming manner for 39 homers. His count today is 38. Danes, the Tiger hurler, is the ehnm pior. furnisher of homers for the "Bain," i as he has served up ten that have been devoured by him. 1 Many of tho players charge that the ball has been changed again. They i maintain that It is losing sopie of the hop and life th it resulted iu an orgy of homers earlier In the season ami placed the hands and faces of the !n----flelders In Jeopardy. The players rtill complain though that the lively and less lively balls are being mixed now. They say one ball will come at them in regular fashion and the next one will knock them off their pins.

The Hoosiers, after winning their first and second round games from New York and Cleveland, went through the semifinals on a bye, and Boston defeated Chicago yesterday afternoon to gain the other berth in the championship round.

SAINTS REMAIN OVERWEEK-END Plenty of Action Promised as Champs and Indians Close Series. DOUBLE HEADER SUNDAY. After a conference between Managers Kelley- ami Hendrichs at noon today It was decided to stage a double header between the Saints and Indians at Washington Park tomorrow afternoon, first game at 2 o’clock. In order t-o make the twin bill possible the game of Sept. 20 has been moved up. The Saint* appear here for their last visit in September. Rogge and Petty ore tlie probable Tribe pitching selections for the Sunday bargain attraction. With two games remaining with the Champion Saints—oits today and one Sunday—the Indians need one victory to give them the edge in the series. After winning the first two of the big round with the Kelleyltes, the Tribe dropped the third skirmish yesterday when ; Southpaw Merritt turned them back, 8 j to 3. I It was a peculiar contest for pitching, j for Pug Cavet was on the mound and he ; gtivo every indication of defeating the ! Saints when, in the fourth inning, he suddenly tost effectiveness and in no time at ail the Champs had sent five runs over the plate. In the fifth, sixth and seventh the visitors couldn t do a thing to his offerings, but at thK point he dropped out. for n pinch hitter nnd j Zir.k. recently obtained from tho Giants. I, finished cn the mound and \gjts found for | thrett markers in tho eighth. Os six hits obtained off Cavet in seven ! innings, four came in the big fourth arid : these, with a bit batsmen, gave the Saints tlie game. I The Indians' hit total was only two ! below- that of the visitors, but the Hcni tlrli-Urmen bumped inlo a couple of ! double plays that killed off their ehanoes. | in the contest today it was likely that j Hurry Weaver would hurl for the Tribe, I with either Williams or Shea for tlie Saints. In the Sunday game Clint : Rogge doubtless will be sent back ! against the Champions Clint had their ! nunih.-r in the series opener anil he feels capable of turning In a second win. There were two big features in the pastime yesterday, one a spectacular catch by Gene Morrison In center field find the other a lengthy home run drive bv Haas of the Saints. In the flr.-tt Inning. with Berghninmet* on Cr.-t and one down, Klggort drove out wbat appeared |to be an easy triple. The hull sailed to 1 deep center, a shade toward left Mor- ; risen took out after It and. while going at full speed with his back to the stands he reached up and speared the , pellet on hls finger tips. His throw to Schrel! or. who had gone out for the relay, was perfect and Flunk's throw to Covington was true anti to the mark BergI hammer was easily doubled up ou tjie 1 piny, for ho had reached beyond second before the surprise catch was made. Hans’ home run cnm In the eighth inning arid was madp off Zink Hendryx was on base at the time Bruno caught the bail Just right and sent it spinning out of the park far o-er the CgM field fence. It was a typical Babe Ruth drive.
The Indians complained bitterly over Lmp Fiunuran'a ruling on Rlggert * drive In the fourth The Indian* uss.-rfm! the bail was foul when it passed over third, hut Fluneran called it fair and Kiggtrt got two buses. This smash and the argument that followed apparently upset Cavet, Ur he hit the neit hatter anti then a single, double anti sacrifice fly follow ed. Luke Scwcli. young catcher obtained from Cleveland, batted for Cavet In ti e seventh and fanned Caret had fanned twice and Zink, who relieved him on the mound, also struck out ou his only chance at tlie plate. Baird got a triple and single. The speed boy apparently is emerging from his slump. I’ltrher Bartlett was not In a Tribe uniform yesterday and Thursday because of a bad cold. Mrs. Jess who was seated *ri a lower box yesterday, was tlie victim of bad control on the part of a grand stand fan. A foul went into the stand and a fan picked it up nnd heaved it In the general direction of The field. Ilnw. ever, instead of going out into th grounds the bail struck Mrs ivtty in the iind and she had to be assisted from the stand*

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Jack Dempsey may have fractured ail high-powered, money-earning records for time elapsed iu knocking out Georges Carpentler, but If reports regarding what Joe Lynch received for t.oxing Sammy Sandow last June are correct the west side bantam tabes the belt. Dempsey, on the basis of $300,000 for his bit, earned something like $117.25 per second against Carpentler. Lynch, who fought Sandow at the boxing drome In the Bronx earlier in the year, was reported to have taken down SIO,OOO for his end. As Sandow lasted just fifty five seconds with Lynch, the bantam boxer was paid slßl.Bl per second for his efforts. Os this fifty-five seconds Sandow- spent twenty-six taking counts, so Lynch really was at ‘work only twenty-nine seconds at the rate of $344.83 per second. All of which is going some. Speaking of records, this bird “Battling" Ghae made one for getting in and out of the spotlight at Atlantic City. A change of uniform certainly works wonders with some baseball players. Trades and sales last winter caused many a player to swap uniforms wheu the big league races got under way last spring, and not a few of them are playing better ball than ever before. Rabbit Maranvtlle is a vivid example. Maranville, of course, has long been a wondefftil s player, but he has seldom sbone to better advantage than since he donned a Pittsburgh uniform. By the same token Johnny Rawlings, who came to the Giants from Boston via the Phillies, has succeeded in fillincr a yawning gup on Mister McGrnws infield, and Jeff Pfeffer, who went to the Cards from Brooklyn, had little trouble finding himself. The trade between Boston and PittsBENNY BUILDS NEW DEFENSE Lightweight Champ Said to Be Ready for TendieFs South- • paw Style. Hy JACK \ EIOCK, International News Sports IldMor. NEW YORK, Ang 6. -Benny Leonard has perfected a defense for the left baud jliliSv of Lew Tendl-r. who will attempt to take the world’s lightweight championship away from him in Philadelphia next Friday night. / Close friends of the. champion passed thi* tip around town today as Leonard finished training in s local gymnas nm preparatory to leaving tonight for l’hila dciphia. w here he will do only light work next week. Though he has faced boxrrs of nearly every style and type, Leonard has never yet fought a real left-hander, and as Tendler Is one of* the very few good "sonthpaw" boxers developed within the memory of present-day fans, the champion will take no chances of being surprised. In preparation fy defense of his crown agtdnst the Quukertown challenger, Leonard has done much boxing with Sammy Skiff, a left hander, whose style i* almost a duplicate of Tendler’s. S' hiss hits been using Lew's best punch"* In daily work outs with the champion nnd Leonard's admirers are confident that if Tendler surprises Benny he will have to spring something entirely new Tendler meanwhile is a very "cocky" challenger, if nothing else. He has worked hard for Leonard and ns a result will do little heavy work in the boxing line lifTor t text Monday. He 1* finely trained, according to all reports, and predicts that he will uncrown Leonard within four rounds

Lentz, world's champion surf caster, to cast a four-ounce lead as far as Ruth has hjt a home run Into the center fisld bleachers at the Polo grounds. Before the Detroit-New York contest Lentz made five tries with a stiff wind blowing. His best cast was 440 feet, as compared with Ruth's estimated mark of 500 feet. Casting the lead without a string Lentz flung it thirty feet over the center field fence. •
burgh, by the way, was perhaps the most beneficial to both clubs of any that has been made in recent years Southwrorth, Nicholson and Barbare have gone a long way toward rejuvenating the punching power of the Braves, and Maranville has certainly done much toward “making" the Pirates. N From recent peeks at the tennis new* one comes to the conclusion that Tilden and .lolLceton wil! be abio to settle the Japanese Question If Kumagee and Shiinidzu get Into the final argument. "Itchey and Shimmy,” apparently, will have an anxious time. Jeff Smith, Jersey's erstwhile globetrotting middleweight, feels the urge of the big coin again and steps forth to say that he would like to mingle with anybody from the best rniddlewelghts to the light heavies, which means Johnny Wilson. Mike or Tom Gibbons ana Georges Carpentler. .Tess begs to recall to the minds of the fistic fans that he went twenty rounds with Carpentler in France and is the only man who was ‘ever credited with a defeat of the late Les Darcy. The lively ball no doubt has had much to do with the remarkable increase iu long-distance bitting this season. It has certainly come as a hoodoo to some of our beat little infielders as well. Sharp raps down to the infleiders look men ■wicked from the press boxes than ever before, the hall often taking quigk. crazy bounds that demand lightning-like speed and Judgment on the part of the playeriguarding the inner circle if they suoceod in trapping it. Yet neither the effect on hitting or fielding must be taken tot seriously. The game would be devoid cf most of its thrills if It was played well-nigh perfect.

George Starbnck. Hawthorn player who i has be- n snowing “sterner stuff" lately, stood in a fair way to grab off a nice slice of fame this afternoon. George was pitted against the wellknown Johnny, eldest son of the Hennessey household, in the semi-final round | of the Indianapolis city tennis championships on the Hawthorn courts this afternoon and all he had to do to become a court hero was to win. This little job of winning a tennis march did not seem like “such a much'' for one so big and husky as George, but—well, anyway, George and Johnny had the spotlight signai set for this afternoon and a lot of sups were turning out to watch them go. Charley Trask, one of the older boys still carries the pep package of a youngster, and Ralph Burdick, who, ruled as or.e of Chicago’s leading lights In the tennis line before coming to Indianapolis a few short months ago, were :lie other semi-final round scrappers, and here was a match that also promised considerable fun for the ttailery. Ralph was the favorite in this half of :he draw, but Charley is a gent not to ie fooled with, and many of the. older ! teads were fearing fur the scalp of the hup from Chicago. The winners of these matches go to the I mat tomorrow afternoon in the contest | that unravels the city tangle for 1921.
