ENVADING women players who participate in the Indiana State Women’s Golf tournament at the Indianapolis Country Club this month probably will get more opposition than expected from local entrants. More women are playing the game in Indianapolis this year than ever

before. The other day, Mrs. S. W. 1 Shipp, traversed the course at Avalon in a 91. Avalon is anew course, and is not easily played by the men in scores around 90. That makes Mrs. Shipp’s round more noteworthy. Roy Smith, pro at the club, is helping Mrs. Shipp with her game. She has taken to the sport with a will and such players help the Indianapolis reputation in

the women golf circles. In a recent Saratoga system pro amateur meet in which the professionals team with •■women players, Smith and Mrs. p, played very creditable golf, is more adapted to the game and Smith comes forth with information that her 91 the other day was just a starter. • * * Two well-known junior golf players from this city are striving to get into the Western Open tourney to be held at Highland Golf and Country Club the last week in August. Jack Merriam, winner of the Indianapolis Times Interscholastic open, and Neville Ewing, the runnerup, are working hard to get their handicap certified at five or ynder. Last Sunday, playing in a foursome ahead of George Stark and Bill Reed, Merriam gave his elders something to shoot at. He played the Coffin course in 69. From reports Merriam is going to affiliate with Coffin. He is, in our opinion, one of the leading junior possibilities of the city. Ewing was playing grand golf until hot weather arrived. He fell in a slump that has added a few strokes to his score. Daily he is playing at Riverside to get back to his game, which is in the seventies. We have no fear about how the two young gentlemen will do in the Western. Merriam believes he can shoot the four rounds in the seventies, and so do we. Indianapolis may not be so far away in goltdom. * * * Arch Grossman and other Highlanders who are working out the tis for the entertainment of that derful tournament, will act as s to a committee from the WestAssociation next Wednesday. At time the association will make any recommendations as to what can be done at Highland to make it the best course the play ever was held over. -• * * * Guy May, who has played many rounds of golf over local courses, is in anew role now. Vonnegut Hardware recently added a golf department of standard equipment and Guy is leading the destinies of many persons through “Burkedom.”

DECISION GOES TO M’TIGUE Wily Mike Keeps Safe Distance From Risko and Wins in Ten Rounds. By Paul W. White, United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July 2.—Youth is yet to be served in the instance of Johnny Risko and Mike McTigue. McTigue, the one-time light heavyweight champion of the world, his face seamy and his muscles a little stiff, demonstrated the theory of the school that believes experience can win over a young fighting heart, by taking a ten-round decision from the slugging, slamming Cleveland battler, Johnny Risko. While the tactics of the former champion didn’t make the bout much of a spectacle as far as the small house was concerned, it served to check the downward trend of the career which flamed with a questionable victory over Battling Siki. In the main, Mike kept a safe distance from the Clevelander and managed to take most ot the swings tossed at him on his glove. He stepped in on a few occasions, and with little difficulty chopped Johnny with a right or left. In the second round, after Risko had made an impressive showing in the opener wily Mike snapped a right to Rlsko’s head and followed with four stinging blows to the face. Again in the fifth the Irishman left ltimself go and slowed up the rushing Cleveland youth with well placed punches to the face. The only other interesting action came in the tenth when the two stood toe to toe and. had a rapid but harmless exchange for a few seconds. With all of the fists which were flying in the ten rounds, not one landed hard enough to really effect either boxer. Beth came out of the match without a mark to show for the evening’s work.

FIRM AS FAVORITE Have 10-Game Lead Near Half-Way Mark—National Race Different. By Frank Getty, United News Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July 2.—As the major league pennant races enter the month of July, within a few days of the half-way mark, dopesters make ready for a second guess. The New York Yankees, who drew out In front In the American League pennnant chase by virtue of two long winning streams early in the season, have only one naore week on the road and then will be home again for the rest of the month. It was at the local stadium that the Yanks piled up the foundation for their Impressive lead which .now amounts to ten fulll games. Behind the Yankees five clubs are closely bunched, with only three games separating the White Sox In second place from the Senators In sixth. From ten to thirteen games to make up from now until September 28 is a task requiring more class than any of the five contenders has shown thus far. It is too early to despair of the Athletics, but Mack's, disappointing youngsters tossed away another ball game on Thursday afternoon, four pitchers. Including Lefty Grove, Sammy Gray. Joe Pate and Walberg. failing to stop the lowly Red Sox. Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago, three teams well up In the running, have shown few pennant possibilities. From the vantage point of July 2, it seems that the Athletics must catch the speeding Yankees, If anyone Is to do so. In the National League, the situation is quite different. Because they have the strongest pitching staff in major league baseball, the Reds are out In front, but their margin is nothing to count upon the first week In July.
