SHE question of whether or not tournaments help in the development of women ptayers arose at the Indianapolis Country Club recently during the women's State golf tournament. Women, who have been connected with the association since Its organization, merely pointed to the records and scores for their story. Many strong women players, failed when thrown into tournament competition. Unheard 9 of players, that is just consistent play ers, failed to hit the horizon, until In a ttgsPl&aßktot tournament, when I consistency ■ jU V told. At the Country Club our attention P* , i If was drawn to one ” player, who seems ' ’’ to have everything i in I>or fa V<M ' f° r a £>** t rapid rise to the * a tup. x She is Mrs. f V ♦ j* ! Alfred Bulsom, of * . 4*9* < t h c Ft. Wayne, Tnd., Country Club. Mrs. Bulsom Mrs. Bulsom is a fine driver, as Is Indicated by the fact she took second place in the driving contest, being defeated only by Mrs. Carl C. Gibbs, one of the hardest drivers among the women save Miss Elizabeth Dunn, thb frew State champ. / Besides being a good driver, Mrs. Bulsom is a clever iron shot player, a bi‘ uncertain on her putts, but In every way a comer. Next year the State meet will be held at the Ft. Wayne course, her home playground. There were not a few who became acquainted with Mrs. Bulsom, enjoyed her personality and realized the coming power of her game that will not admit she la to be reckoned with in the future before “the titlfe is settled. One year more of instruction under Erwin Nelson and she Is be hard to defeat on the up-State course. • • • Saturday night the South Grove Women's Club is to celebrate the winntag of the State championship by Elizabeth Dunn, a member of thi?te club. The victory of Miss Dunn was truly a feat to the credit of municipal golf. Tt was a story of practice after work, under trying circumstances, that finally resulted in harvest. The women of South Grove will give a dance at the clubhouse, at 8:30 p. m. Mrs. A1 Roy and Harry Schopp, are working' out the arrangements. As the victory of Miss Dunn is regarded a victory for municipal golf, the persons in charge feel the entire membership of the municipal courses should be invited to attend.

It is the hope of Mrs. Roy that Coffin, Riverside and Pleasant Run players will be In attendance Saturday night, to honor Miss Dunn. /* • * The Indianapolis Times wants Miss Dunn to play In the woman’s western .association tournament at Chicago, the last week In August. At this time The Tithes is corresponding with the officials of the Western Golf Association to see if in appreciation of her fe'ttt of winning the Indiana State toyrnament, they can give her as a present a trip to the Chicago tournament at Olympia Fields. Golf has some peculiar rules and Miss Dunn, ffhe Times and the South Grove T?lub are working to have her entry certified. 4 • • The old time baseball and horseshoe rivalry between the smaller towns has fallen off In the last years, but anew argument now arises. Hope, Ind., charged it had better golf players than Edinburg. That assertion was challenged, and soon the representative teams from the two cities are to meet at South Grove. That match should have a gallery. •• • % The next announcement we expect to see is that the companies who promised to give prizes to player* making "hole-in-one” shots have gone broke. Thursday another South Grove player joined the several of that course whe this season hav(v attained the mark. Jonn K. Smith, 3804 N. Illinois St., playing In a foursome with D. . Smith, 2813 Ruckle St.; Fred Davis. Jr., of 1201 N. Pennsylvania St?, and J. U. McGinnis of the Y. M. C. A., shot hole 13. the over-the-hlll shot, in one stroke Davis. D. H. Smith and McGinnis admit they were just about as surprised as John Smith when they found his shot in the cup. • • m The "Avalon Affairs,” club organ, this week played on the imaginations of the members to exaggerate enough to think —°f Fred Tucker making a graceful irwin* at the golf hall? —of RnlTie Mellett not making “hard work of playing ball? —of Frank Hawkins ever shooting with out about a five minute address? —of Felix McWhirter whispering? —of Bob Fleischer in a Ford? —of seeing Jim Hammer in business clothes and not wearing a carnation ? —of Phil Edwards shooting a ninety? —of George Anderson. Jr., without his smile? —of Roy Smith as being boisterous? —of Kleb. Hadley without his pipe? —of teeing off without first walking a blook ? —of Oark Young without a guest? —of Murphy paying golf without having Bob Fleischer or Sam Shipp along? —of Herman Sielken dubbing a shot? —of Fosdtck Goodrich missing a putt? —of Otis Logan or Rar Sleight making a shot wtihout doubling half way over? —of a member not making use of his guest cards and inviting his prospective member out? —of a member not patronizing our golf shop, no discounts but personal service? —of a person finding an "identified ' ball and not turning it in to the golf shop’

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Billy Evans Says— Jacobson and Miller A change of scenery often works wonders for player. I have in mind the experiences of Bill Jacobson of the Boston Red Sox and “Bing” Miller of the St. Louis Browns. Recently these two players figured in trades that won for themselves regular berths in the ouHjeld. Before that they had beqir warming the bench as the result of batting slumps. Connie Mack's desife to add Pitcher Howard Ehmke of the Boston Red Sox to his team was responsible for Jacobson and Miller taking on anew lease of life as far as batting was concerned. .. * V 4 Add Much Strength Boston, wjlling to part with Efcmke. insisted that Connie’ Mack make some deal for Jacobson of St. Louis, so that he could be Included in the deal. Manager Fohl of the Red Sox has always been strong for Jacobson. Mack sent-"Bing’’ Miller to St. Louis In exchange for Jacobson and then turned over Pitchers Harriss and Heimaah in addition to Jacobson for Ehmke. Since joining their new clubs, both Jacobson and Miller have starred at bat,’added much strength to their respective teams sent their swat nmrk3 well over the prized .300 figure. \* * * BEST IN YEARS The Boston Red Sox. way, now boast the best teani that the city of culture has had since Harry Frazee busted up a winning combination by peddling a lot of his stars to New Yorjp^ In Shaner, Flagstead and Jacobson, Boston has the best, outfield since that peerless cemblnatlon of Lewis, Speaker and Hooper held sway. Flagstead has developed into one of the best certter-flelders in the game He does everything well and Is a hustler. He’s a big favorite in Boston. i Jacobson plays the difficult sun field in right after the manner of Harry Hooper while Shaner in left Is a great prospect. # • • BOAST GOOD INFIELD When I first saw Shaner in spring training at New Orleans, he impressed me most favorably. A few weeks later he suffered a broken leg that kept him out of the game the greater part of the first half of the season. ' Shaner still favors his leg and is not yet right. However. h“ has proved that he can field an<Nthrow and for a big fellow is fast. At the bat is where he has been most Impressive. Tn addition, Boston has finally brought together an Infield that compares very favorably with most of the major league clubs. • • | TODT GREAT PLAYER During the tailend days of the Boston Red Sox, one playc-r haa

gone serenely on his way, doing his work in the best possible manner, yet never quite receiving the credit due him. I mean First Baseman Phil Todt. The brilliant guardian of the initial sack for the Boston Red Sox makes no fuss over his work and has none of the grandstand mannerisms that often win favor. A master workman, he makes plays look easy, that a less clever man would turn into hard chances and much applause. Todt Is a fine ball player, the real rucleus c.f the new Red Sox team, who deserves far more praise than has been given him.

Puzzling Plays By Billy Evans I’tnplre rail* “Infield fly." An outfielder finally handles the hall ami mufl's it. llhat about it? • • The calling- of “infield fly" is merely a matter of judgment on the part of the umpire. . , When he does so, he is of the opinion the fly ball can he handled by an lnnelder. Such mdgmen; on the part of the umpire automatically retires the batsman, retrardleas ol anything that may later happen. The fact that an outfielder insisted on making the play, only to muff tlio ball, has no bearing on the situation. Hie batsman was automatically out when the umpire ruled “infield fly. POLO VICTORY Bv United Press CHICAGO, July 30.—Buffalo's polo team defeated the Onwentsia (Chithe polo championship of the central cago) aggregation, 10 to 9, in the second game of the tournament for circuit. Buffalo will play Dayton Saturday in the final game of the series. HITS REAL STRIDE Rip Collins, big Detroit righthander, seems to have hit his real stride. For several seasons Collins has been unable to show much, despite the fact he’s long been regarded as a topnotch flinger. Now It appears the big fellow is ready to take his regular turn in the box.

IN FIVE WORLD SERIES Joe Bush, Recently Signed by Pitfshurgli, 14 Years in Majors. Joe Bush, veteran pitcher, recently released hy Washington, and signed by Pittsburgh, has had an illustrious major-league career covering fourteen seasons. Bush, besides playing bn five American League clubs —four in the East—also was one of the few hurlers to get into five world series classics. In 1913 and 1914 he took part In the fall games as a member of the Athletics (he was known as “Bullet Joe” then); in 1918 he played with the Red Sox against the Cubs, and in 19£2 and 1923 was a member of the pennant-winning Yankees. Bush enjoyed his best year during the 1922 campaign when he won twenty-six tilts, losing seven. In 1916 he pitched a no-hit, no-run game against Cleveland. He came up in 1912, Connie Mack purchasing him from the Missoula club of the Union Association for the paltry sum of SBOO. Clarence Fisher, former Buffalo pitchy- has been going good since Toronto took him on waivers. Hq won his first four games for the Leafs.
