HIGHLAND CADDIE TURNS IN BEST SCORE IN TIMES TOURNEY

YOUTHFUL PLAYER SHOWS FINE FORM THRUUGHOUTMEET Has Been Caddie at Highland Links for Seven Years and Knew Course. BING BUTLER RUNNER-UP Played Consistent Golf and Won Second Place in Extra Hole. By TEDDER GARD ' Leonard B. Schmutte, 1224 Udell St., 16-year-old caddie at the Highland course, Is the winner of the first annual Times municipal golf tourney. His total score of 244 gave him six strokes advantage over his nearest competitors and he richly deserved the honor of the victory. His best score came on the first eighteen holes at South Grove, where he turned in a 79. At Riverside he faltered a trifle at the start and came In with an 83. His Highland coant was S2. At the start of the final day’s play at Highland Friday he was in a tie for second place with B. Butler, a South Grove player. “"Watch Schmutte,” the caddies said before the final round was started. And a lot of caddies did. The new champion carried a large gallery with him through the last eighteen and his 82 was plenty good enough to win. Caddied Seven Years Bchmutte has been a caddie at Highland for seven years and knows every crook and turn on the old course. On the final eighteen his driving was really remarkable for a lad, and his iron was good, but the old story of an inaccurate putter counted several strokes against him. A good example was on the first hole in which he was on the green . in two only to take four putt for a si*. However, after tlje bad start he settled down and went his first nine in 39, the best shooting of the day. He came in in 43, three sixes spoiling his card. The victory was a popular one. A number of the Highland members were pleased at Sohmutte’s showing and say that he is a fine lad, a consistently good player and well liked by all. Tie for Second A tie resulted for second place, and It was shot off. In the extra hole, Bing Butler won from Paul Sparks, another youngster who has been caddying at Riverside. The players were tied with a gross of 250. Both slumped on the final day, Sparks taking 89 and Butler 88. Before the start of the last round Sparks was leading the field. On the shoot-off Butler won the hole with a birdie 4. Sparks made it with a par five. It was tough luck for the loser and great shooting by the winner. Butler was one of the hardest working players In the meet and his place as runner-up comes as the result of his splendid fight. Sparks took third place. L. M. Gasser came In fourth with a score of 254. With an 83 and 86 on the first two days, he got himself the second beet count of the day at Highland, an 83 to end the thing up right. t>. Sullivan was fifth with 258. Jack Connors and M. D. Miller came next In a tie for sixth, with totals of 260.

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP Colonels at Washington Park for Five Games in Three Days—Tribe Gains When Millers Lose—Other Sport Notes. Bu EDDIE ABB The week-end and Labor day will see the Indians In their last 1922 stand at Washington Park. Five games in the three days will be played and the Tribe's old rivals, the Louisville Colonels, will provide the opposition. And that’s one thing the Hoosiers have done well this season—batter the Colonels. The Hendricksmen were ttd with the Millers for second place as a result of the Minneapolis defeat at the hands of St. Paul Friday. Os course, the Saints are far out in front, but still there is some honor in occupying the runner-up position.

At any rate Indianapolis fans are glad to see their favorites coing forward instead of backward and these final games at Washington Park doubtless will draw big attendance. The association season has a month to go and four teams—lndians. Millers, Brewers and Blues—are in a hot struggle for first division berths. The leading Saints were 12% games to the good after the Friday contests, and that Is a mighty lead at this late stage. However, It will pay Indians and other contenders to keep fighting In order to be on hand if the unex pected should happen. If It’s a close game, the Saints usually win it. The league leaders got four hits Friday and the Millers five, the Saints three runs, th Millers none. Old Rube Benton again. The Blues downed the Brewers in the series opener. Wilkinson had a shutout until the ninth. McGraw’s clan got one run in the tenth, but the Dodgers came back with two and made It three straight in the series. Thirty-two players participated. Including eight pitchers. The Braves took their second straight twin bill from the Phillies. Harry Hulihan, former Giant, allowed only six hits in the second game Friday.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PDIF PULUISTS PLAN TOURNEY HERETHIS FALL Players Practice at Speedway Field—J. C. Cooley Out of Local Lineup. The pony poloists of the city are getting back home from vacations and the old thrill of the gripped mallet and the feel of a horse between the knees Is getting Into their blood. Some of the players have been practicing at Carl Fisher’s field at the Speedway. A fall tournament Is being planned between Sept. 27 and Oct. 7. No definite games have been scheduled as yet but negotiations are under way with the Dayton teams and the Army fours from Camp Knox and Columbus, Ohio. About the same old lineup will represent the Indianapolis Polo Club as was In the field last year with the exception of J. C. Cooley. At present the first team lineup probably will bo Carl Fisher, Bob Hassler, Jud Andrews and Robert Bullock. Cooley will be sorely missed as his playing featured many contests last fall. Other poloists that will be in the saddle this fall are Frank Witt, Russell Fortune, Charley Schaf, Jack Holliday, Frank Fishback, Omar York and Colonel Tyndall. A number of the latter will play with the Rollins Ridge team.

ECHOES Os the Times Tourney By TEDDER OARD

Well, the first tourney is over. The Times wants to thank the charter members who participated In the Initial effort In the way of a municipal meet. Next year a "b.gger and better" Is promised. When The Times first instigated the meet It was thought that old Highland would be a publio course when the affair was played, but an extens.on of time was given the Highland club and It is still a private course. President Kirk gave his permission to use the link and the courtesy of the H:ghland Club members will not soon be forgotten by the tourney players. Dad Williams, who acted as starter throughout the three days’ play Is glad Its all over. Dad kept his coat on in the first awo days, but It got too warm for him Friday and he finally hud to give in to the weather man. Favorable oomment was heard on all of the courses in regard to giving the younger players more encourage ment. The youngster in golf in Indianapolis has been more neglected than in any other branch of sport. Open tourneys give them the necessary experience that help to make real golfers. Sullivan, who shot a 258 1n the meet for fifth, shifted things around a bit. He made an 88 at South Grove, sup posedly the eas est course, and shot Riverside four lower the next day. Young Miller got worse and worse Starting with a 79 he went up to 88 the next eighteen and finished with a 93. At that the first 79 kept his score down low enough to put him in a tie for sixth place. Thank you. Harry Rehopp. for your valuable suggestions when we were first "doping out” the tourney. The starting day is always the hardest, und we appreciate your kindness in allowing the meet full sway at South Grove in order that contestants might get away promptly. Riverside proved Jack Connor's downfall. He took a 91 on that course, which put him out of the running for top-notch honors. J. H. Lee took 106 to get around the Highland course, but be made the ninth hole In two and he says that will give him enough material for conversation for some time. He lacked Just a few Inches of Joining the “hole-in-one" club. Talk about consistency, M. Niekols made every round In 89. Could anybody do better than that? Now, mind you, we’re talking about consistency. J. W. Barton was another who found the Riverside course to he his nemisis. A 100 spoiled hopes of finishing "in the money.” Barton's 82 tied Schmutte’s total for the lowest count at Highland. The players who tore up their tickets kindly report the scores to the Times. They must have been "pretty bad.” In perusing the tournament dope It seems established beyond question that C. W. Weathers had the highest eocre—turned In. He deserves the cohgratulations of all. See you all next year, and a lot of new ones! Denies Rumor TOLEDO. Ohio, Sept. 2.—Roger Eresnahan. president of the Toledo American Association club, has denied a rumor that the club was to change hands. Yacht Burns MONROE, Mich., Sept. 2.—The $150,000 cabin cruiser owned by G. H. Wood caught fire at Its dock here yesterday and was completely ruined.

LAWYERS SWING INTO ACTION 01 PROTESTED GAME Legal Batteries Perform for City League Teams—Game Is Ordered Replayed. Brookside Odd Fellows and the Citizen Gas nines must replay their game of Aug. 19, which was protested by the Gas team. Efforts are being made to get the teams together at Washington Park next Saturday morning. Decision over the protest was announced Friday night in a hearing new in baseball annals. The rival te;ims are members of the City Amateur Baseball Association and the game in quest on was a part of the post-season City League series. Both clubs employed legal talent at the hearing. Players, managers and followers gathered to view and hear the proceedings and the opposing batteries of attorneys made safe hits, hits not so safe, fast plays, slows plays, errors and otherwise conducted a verbal ball game. A Battery Legal battery for the Gas team. Perry O’Neal and Joe Daily; for the Odd Fellows. William Ouillin and Ar- | thur Jones. The controversy was whether or not an umpire can order a player out of a game and then permit him to return. Umpire Miller so handled the c;ise of Third Baseman French of the Odd Fellows during the game in question. After a meeting lasting mors than two hours the executive committee of the City Association and President i Harris ruled it would be for the best interests of baseball in Indianapolis to have the teams play the game over. In the event the Gas nine wins the play-over It must also play the Crescent Paper nine, which lost to the Odd Fellows: last week in the finals for the city Class AA title. The score ! of the protested Odd Feliow-Gas Comi pany game was 7 to 5 in favor of the Odd Fellows.
