Dallas Star Favorite to Cop Western Mrs. Reinhardt Is Choice of Remaining Field at Geneva Meet. Bu United Press LAKE GENEVA, Wis., Aug. IS.— Mrs. S. L. Reinhardt of Dallas, Texas, was the popular favorite today to win the 1921 title as women’s Western golf champion. Her victory Wednesday over Miss Dorothy Page of Madison, Wis., defending champion, proved the outstanding performance of the tournament to date. The second round proved disastrous to favorites Wednesday. Even more startling than the defeat of the champion was that of Miss Virginia Van Wie, by Mrs. Harry Pressler of Los Angeles.

Another decided upset was the of Mrs. Lee Mida by Virginia The match, one of the hardest of the round, was won, one up.

NOTES AND GOSSIP PICKED UP ON CITY LINKS

BY DICK MILLER

Hole-in-one golfers are becoming rather numerous. Almost daily a report reaches us that sone of the local fraternity have crashed the pellet tee to hole in one stroke. As common as they may be, we believe any mashie wielder who watches the gutta percha disappear in the cup after he stroked it on the tee would Jump with glee. Today we received anew one. Four Sheridan (Ind.) golfers drove over to Riverside to shoot a little game. One of the party made the sixteenth hole in one stroke. In today’s mril we find something like this: f STATE OF INDIANA, HAMILTON COUNTY. 8.8. We. the undersigned, swea' under oath, that we were present and witnessed the "hole in one” made by D. B. McMurtry. of 3heridan. Ind.. on Aug. 18. 1927. The "hole In one” was made on the sixteenth hole of the Riverside golf course, Indianapolis. Signed: FRED COLBY. M. R. PARR. C. E. PINE. D, B. M’MURTRY. Subscribed and sworn to before me this seventeenth day of August. 1927. ROLAND GRIFFIN. Votary .Public. My commission expires Act. 25, 1930. One might gather the boys felt the public would think they were telling a nineteenth-hole story. The sixteenth hole at Riverside seems to have a magnetic power for tee shots. In spite of the fact, Chick Nelson, course manager, recently built a sand trap in front of the green to catch run-up shots, the boys have, learned to pitch shots that are sticking to the velvet. That hole-in-one was not necessarily the feat of an expert golfer. They usually are not. We find that McMurtry while having four par holes on his card, shot two 9s on a par 4 holes, also an 8 on a par 5

Rain greeted the Inter Luncheon Club golfers when they assembled at Broadmoor today for the regular tri-weekly tournament. Play began at 1 p. m., with George soutar, club pro, and Ralph Elvin, league secretary, as starters. It appeared likely the Gyros and Service Clubs, who have been staging a tough struggle for first place, might become farther separated due to the fact the Service boys will be without several of their star players, who are vacationing. The Gyros, in the lead by a scant margin, had an intact lineup today. The Kiwanis Club holds third rung on the percentage ladder. Pairings for the first round of match play in the Avalon Country Club championship play, to start Saturday, follow: H. Seilken vs. George Stone; E. B. Webb vs. O. E. Blanford; J. L. Thibedeau vs. W.
