FINALS STAGED IN STATE’S BIG GOLFTOURNEY Simpson and Sanders Battle It Out for Indiana Title at South Bend. GOSSIP OF THE EVENT SOUTH BEND. Ind.. An*. 13.—Johnny Simpson, of Indianspolis and Vincennes, former State champion, and Pan Sanders, of South Bond and of Harvard University, started a thirtj-six boie battle in (he 'final* of the State golf tournament this morning to decide wmcn will be the Wl champion. Simpson won bis right to take part In the finals yesterday by his rather sensational finish on Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute, while Sanders, who knows every inch of the Chain of Lake# course, •topped the ambition* of Young Jack Bixle'r, of Lafayette and Purdue University. Simpson defeated Sparks, 7 and 6. while Sanders won from Biller, 5 anil 4. While, as has been remarked before, predictions are dangerous, on the form shown In the tournament up to the finals, Simpson should be the winner over Sanders —hut not an easy winner. Simpson is the older, more finished golfer, with plenty of tournament experience. which enables a man to play well when the battle looks darkest Sanders Is a coming golfer, whose chin denotes the gameness which he has, but against Simpson, whose drives are the equal of Sanders and whose short game perhaps Is better, the South Bend lad will have t tougher Job than he has yet had when he won from such fellows as Bixler, Tulte and Shaffer. Tn the opinion of many, the championship was really decided yesterday when Simpson beat Sparks. These two players. In the opinion of students of golfing form, were the class of the tournament—both great shot makers, both good In all departments of the game and both with exquisite temperaments for mach play. Last year, Sparks beat Simpson In tough matches —once in the Western amateur st Memphis and the second time in the State tournament at Kokomo. There were those who thought that the memory of those defeats would have a deeply psehologiea! effect on Simpson but by •i he way Simpson shot his woods down the fairways, and approaches and putted. Simpson is not bothered by any psychological memories of defeats. The galleries st South Bend were divided In their attentions to the two semifinal matches. The morning round found Simpson and Sparks all even. Simpson got away with a big lead, winning three out of the first fire holes and this seemed to indicate that the match would be a walkaway. But Sparks came back and. with some masterful driving and a •nappy short came, stepped out in front es the Terre Haute player In the second round. In the second eighteen. Sparks, who tips the beam at but I(YS pounds, and has the height of an average man. seemed to lose his strength for a State golf tournament Is a vitality destroyer If one has the fortune and the ability to go through many rounds of it. The careful shooting of Bixler brought him to the eighteenth for lunch one up on Slanders. Bixler had set a fast pace against some of the veterans In the earlier rounds and It looked as If be might be able to topple over Sanders, who always was picked by those w-ho really know as • possible finalist. But the physical strength of Sander* began to tell in the afternoon's play and bis long drives encouraged Bixler Into the net of pressing and the latter soon got very far back of Sanders. With the larger gallery which followed these fellows In the afternoon. Bixler seemed to feel the Importance of the spotlight and his work became less effective. Results of yesterday's matches follow: Championship Flight tserat finals) John Simpson (Vincennes) defeated Baxter Spark* (Terre Haute*, 5 up and *: Imn Sanders iSouth Bend) defeated Jack Bixler (Lafayette). 7 up and 6.

Arrangements already have been started for the 1922 tournament, which will be held on the French Lick course at the invitation of Thomas Taggart. Jr., The a-.aociatioi decided to increase the nun ber of flights in the big tournament so that eighty players will be biinv on i*ia hilltop course. But since the entry field to the State tournament is growing iin•nallr and with perhaps more than ISO players starting next year. It It j lanned to put the overflow In the valley course at French Lick. Thus nearly every player who starts will get a week of golf competition. The suggestion for such action was made by W. M. Simpson, tarujr •f Johnny, and was readily adopted by the association. G. A. Y'oung, president <*f the association, and by profession professor of mechanical engineering at I’urd.iy University, through his associates, is planning to make this French Lick tournament the most eUoorate ever held in Indiana. Thomas Taggart, Jr., who bas supervised the building of this now gclf course with the intention of making it the very finest golf course in America, has satisfied the officials that the,-.* veil be plenty of entertainment there and that every golfer who comes to French Lick will have the time of his life. And Mancie, too. comes along with n invitation for 1923. when their course Will be an 18 hole structure and will be in the very beat condition. The rough lo the right of hole 17 at South Bend is a marsh, for the most part covered with growth two or three feet high. So bad it is that the rules of a water Uaaard apply but once In a while a fellow gets a lie from which he can play. One player was In there yesterday, according to Secretary Jess Moa'ler. who, in a group was standing near the seventeenth green. The player had spent about the legal five minutes In hunting the balL “Can’t you find the ball?”, yelled some on*. "I hare found the ball," called back the player, "but I have lost my bag.” There was no more Interested spectator in the Bixler-Sanders match yesterday than Melville Miller, of Lafuyettc- more than three score and ten, who himself ts an enthusiastic golfer. The father of Charlie Taylor, long past the 70 mark, came over from La Porte to team *k ‘h his son. The father of JohDny Simpson rather fell down in bis efforts, which spoiled the chance of the Simpaon-Simpson combination. Riverside did very well In its trophygrabbing efforts, for It would ssem that In the final round-up. Riverside players were in the finals of most of the flights which caught the defeated. If It were all a matter of winning trophies Riverside did very well. Dr. Paul Hurt, nearly beaten into complete submission in the earlier rounds, ••ame back aud got into the "money" in one of the later competitions by his de feat of young Ainsworth Byrns of La faystte. Jim Kdwards, president of Riverside, * cove hack from Sonth Bend last night. *r Mr Oif*r (T-drl-n erd dt***e

M’GRAW DEALS FAIL AND FANS ARE SAYING SO Giant Followers Become Critical as Meusel, Stengel and Causey Do Little. HURLERS THE BIG NEED By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—John McGraw, boss of the New York Giants, has tne reputation of being a daring trader who will go the limit to win a pennant. He is one of the few managers of the major leagues who figures only on today, relying on his money aud prestige to get a club for tomorrow. McGraw made such drasdc moves th s year for a championship that ha has wrecked his team. Instead of getting a pennant for himself he looks at the present time to have thrown it awav. New Y'ork fans are bemoaning the trades that brought ‘ii sh” Meusel. "Red" Causey and Casey Stengel to the G!ant fold with ail the veiumence that the Pittsburgh and Boston fans protested at the trades several weeks ago. It was then charged openely that the wealthy Giants were buying tho pennant by outbidding the other clubs that wanted Meusel. McGraw, although he was not in need of an outfielder, bought Meusel, the long distance clonter of the Phillies for Walker, a promising young outfielder. Henline, a good young catcher and a cash sum said to have been between $50,000 and $75,000. Meusel bas been a terrible disappointment in a Giant uniform. Not only has he forgotten how to bat. but he has been even less than an ordinary worker in the field. To make room for him, McGraw had to move Burns over to centerfield and the efficiency of the whole left side of the garden has been impaired. Cansey has been useless with a sore arm and the fans are laughing at McGraw, asserting that his ailment Was known all season. Casey Stengel is not In shape to play and earns his salary from the coaching line. In exchange for them, McGraw gave a wealth of good young talent which might have developed into just the players he will want, next see.son. McGraw needs pitchers If he wants to boat tho Pittsburgh Pirates out for the flag. Ha needs them right now. Ho has the money to get them, but they're not on tha market and trades aro over now for tha season.
