TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

rjZiHE ring for the free boxing J' I'l matches out at McClure's 1-* beach Thursday night was built right out in the water. The boxers “framed” on Mike Mitchell, who refereed in a bathing suit and the big fellow splashed plenty of water out of White River when Hahn socked him “by mistake” and sent the third man in the ring on an impromptu dive. There Is no such chance of "getting even” with a baseball umpire. * • • It was a bad day for the Thomas family Thursday. Tommy Thomas started foh the White Sox against the Yankees and Myles Thomas strolled out to pitch for the New Yorkers. Neither finished what they started. \ • * • I ■-, jORMER pupils of Ward L. I p I Lambert and some of the I —J State's outstanding high school basketball coaches are among those who have signified their intention of attending the basketball coaches’ school to be conducted by the Purdhe basketball coach at Lake Manitou, Rochester, Aug. 9 to 21.

Final Matches in All Flights Scheduled at Country Club Today. By Dick Miller An Indianapolis woman will wear the crown of Indiana State woman’s golf champion when the final match of the State tournament is completed today at the Indianapolis Country dub. Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs of the Country Club and Miss Elizabeth Dunn of South Grove, were to meet at 1:30 p. m. to determine the. one to mount the throne. Thursday, Miss Dunn defeated Mrs. Robert Tinsley of Crawfordsville 2 up and 1 to play, and Mrs. Gibbs eliminated Mrs. W. J. East of the Chain o’ Lakes course, South Bend, runner-up last year, by the same score. The championship matches in the six flights w6re on this morning, and the finals in the consolation for each flight likewise were played. Immediately after the final match this afternoon the distribution of prizes will be made at the clubhouse, where a large table Is laden down with beautiful awards. Nip-and-Tuck The Miss Dunn-Mrs. Tinsley match was a nlp-and-tuck affair, a battle from the start. Miss Dunn was 2 up at the turn and playing the game just as well as she did when she trounced Miss Hull, Wednesday to dethrone the defending champion. Mrs. Tinsley took the eleventh and numbers 12, 13 and 14 were halved. Miss Dunn again reached the two up margin with a 4 on No. 15, but Mrs. Tinsley took advantage of Miss Dunn’s topped drive on sixteen and cut it to one. With a chance to square the match on No. 17, Mrs. Tinsley drove beautifully while Miss Dunn was on the hillside. Miss Dunn played safe to the fairway, and used an iron to reach the left of the green In 3. Mrs. Tinsley used a wood and drove into the ditch. Not giving up, she dropped the i ball back of the ditch with a one-Aroke penalty, then used a spoon to drive the green. They lay alike on the green In fours, but a long putt by the Crawfordsville player was short and Miss Dunn was down in ' two for the match. Mrs. Gibbs in Lead Mrs. Gibbs was one up on Mrs. East at nine holes. The tenth hole was halved with sevens, and Mrs. Gibbs rose to three up, winning eleven and twelve with fives. Mrs. East refused to concede defeat and won fifteen and sfccteen after thirteen and fourteen had been halved. The match stood Mrs. Gibbs, 1 up. as they left the seventeenth tee. Mrs. East failed to stand up under the strain of Mrs. Gibbs’ beautiful drive and second shot and fell Into the same fate as Mrs. Tinsley In the other match and placed her second shot in the ditch. She could not get out and was down in 9, while Mrs. Gibbs was on the green In 3 and down in 5, with perfect golf. The old-timers who have followed the tournaments from the start of the association believe it Is Miss Dunn’s year and the field of supporters Is divided as to the outcome of the title match.

ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR BIG LEAGUE BALL CLUBS Question of Disciplining Players Is Perplexing One — Many Fined This Season for Lapses. By Henry L. Farrell United Press StaC Correspondent NEW YORK, July 23.—Owners of major league baseball clubs who have been struggling for recent years with problems pertaining to freak deliveries, intentional passes, sacrifice fly rules*and other technical questions will find themselves at their •winter meetings against another cross-word puzzle.

The theory has existed so far that the most effective way to discipline a hall player, who missed a signal, who hit when he was ordered to bunt and who ran to the fence when he should have grabbed a fly back of second base was to sock him in his most vital spot—his wallet. So far this, season all kinds of discipline has been visited upon ball players whose actions on the field were not in accordance with the manager's idea of a hustler. Grover Cleveland Alexander, The Great, went down the river from Chicago to 3t. Louis, because he didn’t agree with his manager. Joe Bush, of the "bullet ball" fame, was given papers from Washington for reasons that "Bucky" Harris has not made public. Washington Troubles Joe Judge, one of the smartest and nicest fellows in the game, and A1 Schacht, the comical Washington coach, who has friends by the legions, were reprimanded by the same Bucky Harris for missing signals. ‘ . Pitcher Jess Petty of Brooklyn was suspended and then reinstated recently and Vic Aldridge, Pirate hurler, was fined SSO the other day. McGraw just threatened Irish Meusel and George Kelly with a place on the bench If they do not show more interest irf their Jobs. McGraw said In St. Louis that Meusel and Kelly had been missing signals or Ignoring them and that his whole club was sadly In need of a spirit of hustle. ‘‘They have become too accus'tomed to winning,” he said. “They all need more hustle and it’s my job to make them hustle.” What Is Solution? The magnates admit that they know of no solution to anew problem of how to make their athletes

hustle. So far they can only fine or fire. With all the rackets that he has been In, with $5,000 fines for ignoring training rules, Babe Ruth never has been fined, censured or fired for failing to make an extra step for a fly or for refusing to risk a limb in sliding to a base. And that is one reason why the Babe has been worth $52,000 a year to the New York Yankees for three years and why he can have $75,000 next year.

BIG TIME COMING FOR t GOLF ENTHUSIASTS HERE Some of Greatest Players to Appear at Highland in Western Open, Aug. 26, 27, 28. The Western open golf championship at Highland next month will be the biggest event ever held in Indiana golf, according to Albert Buchanan, chairman of the Highland sports and pastimes committee. Tie reflects the opinion of the officers of the Highland Club and the .members of the various committee that are seeking to put over this play with the well-known bang.

The tournament will be played' Aug. 26 and 27 and 28. Eighteen holes will be played the first day, eighteen holes the second and thirtysix holes the final day. Members of the various western open committees visited Scioto, at Columbus, where the national open was played, not only to learn some of the fine things about running a big league tournament but to line up a score or more of the men who are the leaders in the play at the National open. Walter Hagen says that he would like to play at Indianapolis and, according to Buchanan, Hagen’s name is on the dotted line. Hagen is perhaps the king of golfers and is especially popular In Indiana. MacDonald Smith, present Western open champion, will be here to defend the title. Among the contestants will be Willie Mehlhorn, former Western open champion, and lately something of a sensation in the British tnd American open. Many of the crack amateurs of the West will be here and perhaps the crowning hero of the slmon-pures, Bobby Jones, Atlanta wizard, who finished ahead of Joe Turnesa at Scioto to win the national open title. In the entry list will “be many of the great professionals of the Middle West, including such men as Jock Hutchison, Bob MacDonald and Eddie Loos of Chicago.

’NOTHER TITLE GO CLAIMED

This Time It’s Dempsey and Wills —Rickard Calls It ‘the Bunk.’ THIS FROM JACK By United Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 23.—Jack Dempsey lias no concern about the news that B. C. Clements, president of the Coliseum Club in Chicago, claims a valid and binding contract with him to fight Harry Wills. “Clements has no more contract for my services than a fish has feet,” exclaimed Jack. By Edward C. Derr, United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 23.—The Chicago Coliseum Club today announced Jack Dempsey will defend his world’s heavyweight championship In a bout with Harry Wills Negro challenger, in Chicago “sometime before Sept. 20.” The announcement was made by B. C. Clements, president of the iseum Club, who iij)Kists his with Dempsey, signed before the champion came to terms with Tex Rickard for a bout with Tunney, is perfectly legal and his plans for a Dempsey-Wills fight are certain to go through. Tex Rickard, veteran New York fight promoter, who Wednesday announced a Dempsey-Tunney match for Chicago about the same dates, characterized the Coliseum Club's announcement as “a lot cf bunk.” “I have been hearing about their plans for some time,” Rickard commented, “but there is nothing to them.” Rickard said he probably would an* nounce complete plans for his Demp-sey-Tunney match sometime this afternoon. NO CHANCE IN NEW YORK Gotham Fans Give Up on Tunney.

Muldoon admitted his minority against Commissioners Farley and Brower late Thursday when he withdrew a motion made at the meeting to reopen the case. Interested New Yorkers, who nW believed Rickard would not go through with the proposed fight in Chicago, and that at the last minute the objection of the New York commission would be removed, resigned thmselves today that Dempsey and Tunney might fight some place, but that New York would not be the place.
