SCORE cards at Meridian Hills looked like election reports Tuesday when the women finished their 18-hole regular Tuesday tournament. Mrs. B. C. Stevenson thought her game was slippings, she said, as she perused over the score card and totaled up 109 strokes. She added just right for it was the Blind Par Score, drawn from a hat. Mrs. Roy Moore scored right too, for she also held 109 and shared first honors with Mrs. Stevenson. In a draw for first place, Mrs. Moore won and Mrs. Stevenson took second award. Mrs. W. D. Hamer was third. tt tt tt Some of the newer players played nine holes for a blind par prize. Mrs. C. E. Collins won. tt tt tt Mrs. Stevenson, who has been In the spotlight of Indiana women’s golf for several years, is interested in one of the younger players at Meridian Hills. She believes Miss Lou Adams has a future. “A beautiful swing and keen interest in the game is certain to make her a great player when she gets a little older,” Mrs. Stevenson said. ‘'You know' Lou is but 15 and Is engaged in her school studies now. but W’hen she gets her vacation and can devote more time for practice I am sure she will improve rapidly.” tt tt tt 'T'HE women of Meridian Hills will have a team and will meet teams from other clubs, according to plans of Mrs. Stevenson, who is directing women's golf at that club this year. As captain, Mrs. Stevenson should be able to give her team members much inside dope on tournament golf. a tt a Once a month starting the first of June the Meridian Hill women players will be hosts to one guest each at the club. Each Tuesday is tournament day at the club. tt tt tt We understand Mrs. Robert Tinsley, the smiling, little golfer from CrawfordsvLle. journeys over here each w'eek to piav at Highland. She is an out-of-town member. Mrs. Tinsley plays "in and out” golf in tournaments, mostly because she does not practice consistency. Two years ago she was a semi-finalist in the State tournament at the Indianapolis Country Club. Mrs. Tinsley is certain to add pep to the Highland weekly tournaments, held each Friday. tt tt tt Which statement recalls the announcement posted by Chuck Garringer on the bulletin board at the Highland Club stating that due to the State college golf tournament at the course Friday of this week, the \ women will hold their weekly meet on Thursday. a a it 'tTKTOMEN at Avalon held a put- ' ’ ’ ting contest Tuesday afternoon. Each entrant putt three balls from various points on the greens. Mrs. Herman Seilken, Jr., in charge, announced that Mrs. M. J. j Abbott scored first place with 22 | points and Mrs. Harry Buchanan second, with 24. a a Mrs. Gage Hoag, president of the I. W. G. A., has announced the dates for the city tournaments the week of June 30. The place will be Coffin municipal course. The stake will be Miss Elizabeth Dunn's crown, worn by that your.g woman the gast two years. As we have heard that lizabeth is playing her usual strong driving game again this year and in addition is adding accuracy to her approachng game, there is not much danger of her losing the crown. tt tt tt Asa season curtain the city association will piav an eighteen-hole meet at South Grove Sept. 10, according to Mrs. Hoag. tt tt tt While the State Lion’s Club convention is in session in the city June 10 and 11, Harry Schopp will be host to the State golf tournament of the organization at South 1 Grove links. Just a word to the school boy golfers, lest they forget The Times interscholastic tournament at South Grove early next month—it is the third annual affair and is fast gaining popularity, more than 100 competing last year. tt tt tt We nominate as the champion putter the judge who stuffed the ballots into the boxes Tuesday.

Filly Is New Sensation in Derby Gossip Anita Peabody Surprises by Leading Reigh Count in Workout. Bu Times Special LOUISVILLE, Ky„ May 9.—Track fans, owners, trainers and jockeys gathered here at Churchill Downs pondered over the splendid form displayed by Anita Peabody, Tuesday. The three-year-old filly, eligible for the Classic Kentucky Derby, May 19, but not an intended starter, loomed today as a serious contender for Derby honors. The filly, from the same stable as the favored Reigh Count, which many turfmen rate as the greatest thoroughbred since Man o’ War, stepped away from Reigh Count, Tuesday, as hundreds of railbirds looked on. The Futurity winner of last fall was in front of the great chestnut all down the back stretch, apparently beating him at every stride. At six furlongs, Anita Peabody was three-quarters of a length in front of Reigh Count and the time was 1:13 3-5. At the mile the filly was half a length ahead of the winterbook favorite and the time was 1:40 2-5. Trainer Mitchell said Anita Peabody was not an intended starter in the Derby but would be held ready in the event Reigh Count meets with a mishap.
