Match Play Starts in Women’s State Golf Tournament at Terre Haute

Latzo Fails to Win Title From Champ Loughran Retains Light Heavy Crown in Gruelling Battle. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 17. Once again Tommy Loughran has retained his light heavyweight title by a close margin. In the heart of the “black diamond” coal district Monday night,

Loughran stood off the almost constant barrage of blows directed at him by Pete Latzo, the courageous Slav. At the end of ten rounds of furious fighting, Loughran was awarded the decision. Twice within seven weeks Latzo has made valiant but un-

successful attempts to win the light heavyweight title from Loughran. Each time Latzo lost, but his margin of defeat was never decisive. Almost always on top of Loughran, flailing away with both fists, Latzo kept Loughran moving backward for most of Monday bout. The former Scranton coal miner started slowly, losing the first three rounds to the champion, but when he opened up in the fourth round he almost drove the champion out of the ring with a brilliant burst of fighting which raised a crowd of 15,000 persons to its feet, yelling and howling for a knockout. Loughran came back to win the fifth by his constant jab—jab—jabbing in Pete’s face with a lightning left. Latzo couldn’t keep Tommy’s long left out of his face, and that is perhaps why Latzo is still a good, game guy and Loughran is still light heavyweight champion. At the finish Loughran was a badly spent champion and was so tired that he dropped his wearying arms to his sides at every opportunity. Lazto too was tired but not quite as spent as Tommy. Latzo opened a nasty gash over the champion’s right eye in the fourth round and a small cut over his right cheek bone in the seventh. Blood flowed freely from the cut over the eye. Loughran brought blood from Latzo’s nose and mouth in the early rounds and the challenger bled occasionally all during the fight.

Tournament Notes

By Staff Correspondent TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 17. —Highland of Indianapolis sent 12 of the 18 Indianapolis players who came to the women’s State golf meet in progress here. Two came from Avalon, one from Riverside, one from | the Indianapolis Country Club, one from Meridian Hills and one from Broadmoor. The annual business meeting: will be held this afternoon after the matches. A new president, vice president and secretary treasurer will be named, unless the women insist that Mrs. C. A. Jaqua of Indianapolis. Mrs. Samuel Kraus of Ft. Wayne. and Miss Mary Gorham of Frankfort be retained for the positions they now hold. Miss Dunn was the only player able to punch out a deuce on the short 16th Monday. The champion sent her tee shot to a short six inches of the pin, and she was down in one putt for a birdie. Some of the scores for the short hole ran as high as 5. The blazing sun bothered the women considerably. The hill climbing journey didn't add any to the comforts either. The second nine of this course reminds one of a mountain hike. Practically all the players are stopping at the new Terre Haute House, recently opened, and one of the finest hotels in the Middle West. Many of the dopesters are picking Mrs. Gipson to come back this year and win. Comparison of her card and Miss Dunn’s reveal they played an even match Monday. To the writer, Mrs. Buison appears the strongest contender.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

He’s America’s Fastest

t ■ # ,y '

AN 18-year-old schoolboy and America’s fastest sprinter—that’s Frank Wykoff of Glendale, Cal., who won four heats and the finals of the 110-meter event in gaining his place on the United States Olympic team at the final trials held recently in Boston. Wykoff won each of his heats in 10 3-5 seconds, equaling the Olympic time for this event, and then won the finals. Having cinched a place on the team, his advisers kept him out of further sprint trials, but there exists the belief that he will be used in other events besides the 110-meter at Amsterdam. Wykoff came into athletic prominence a year ago by his sensational races for his high school and again hit the spotlight this June when he defeated Charley Paddock in the highly ballyhooed “Sprint of the century.”

CHICAGO CUBS ARE AT IT AGAIN

Bu United Press CHICAGO, July 17.—The Chicago Cubs, mystery team of the National League, are at it again. Today, from the Phillies, they will seek their eighth straight game. Early in the season the Cubs, hailed as one of the strongest teams in the majors, slumped to sixth,

Entire families joined in the fun, and from one household six tried thgir skill at naming a mythical American Association team for a try at the prizes. The contest developed into a redhot sports subject of debate and evidently grew into news value, a fact brought out when the Sunday Star discussed the topic and made an all-A. A. selection.

on. Sixteen major league teams have begun to find their proper levels. The Cleveland Indians, perched high in first division early in the season, have been kicked down the ladder. The team that was running wild through the American, League two months ago is in fifth place. The Boston Red Sox are back in last place. They, too, sniffed the rarified air of first division and it made them dizzy. The other side of the American League story is that the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers have better days ahead. Spurred on by Lena Blackburne, the Sox have leaped from last to fourth. Detroit has its customary array cf savage hitters, and if the pitchers will only come through the team should climb above Washington and Cleveland. The rest of the American lf.a.;ue teams are in their proper niches Consider the National ueague, where New York and Chicago are fighting for the lead with the Cardinals on the crest at the moment. Cincinnati, riding on some superlative pitching, forged to the front in 'he spring only to make way later for teams with more punch in their batting orders. Now the Reds are down in fourth place, ten slim percentage points ahead of the fastflying Brooklyn Robins. Ownie Bush and his Pittsburgh Pirates are beginning to prove they are one cf the most powerful teams 'n '.asebal, 1 . They have won seven straight games and the end is not yet in sight. Barring injuries, the four best clubs in the National League seem to be St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York. Brooklyn is a threat to the leaders, for the Robins take especial delight in walloping first •division teams and then turning around to drop a series to the Boston Braves or Phillies. Like the Red Sox, the Braves have had their moments this year. All teams have. But over the weary stretch of 154 games, class will tell.
