Chick Evans, Eight Times Winner, Pitted Against Frank Dolp. NOVOTNY VS. MOLLER Winners to Clash for Title Saturday. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent 808 O’LINK CLUB, HIGHLAND | PARK, 111., Aug. 24.—Two past champions and two young men of the new school paired off here today in the semi-final round of the Western Amateur golf championship. Chick Evans, who eight times has won the championship, was pitted against Frank Dolp. Portland, Ore., who won the event in 1926. Gus Novotny of Chicago met Lawrence Moller, Quincy, 111., in the match to decide which of the young players will compete in the title contest of 36 holes Saturday. Novotny consistently has upset speculations of tournament observers. He first blasted Bon Stein, defending champion, then belittled the prophesies of experts by downing the hardy Dr. O. F. Willing of Portland, Ore., one up in the second day’s match play. Quarter-final matches resulted as expected with the exception of the Novotny match. Chick Evans defeated Kenneth Hisert of Chicago, 6 and 5, and Frank Dolp eliminated Ira L. Couch, Chicago, 4 and 3. Moller advanced to the semi-finals over Rial Rolfe, Chicago. BASEBALL QUERY Q.—A runner is on second base. Battei singles to right and is out trying to stretch his hit into a double. The runner attempts to score and crosses the plate at the same time the batter is put out at second. Does the run count? C. S. A.—The decision rests with the plate umpire.

He’s Best Lead-Off in Business

ALTHOUGH the New York Yankees slumped away a goodly portion of their huge lead during late July and early August, it was through no fault of Earl Combs, their center fielder. He and Babe Ruth were about the only players who played like world champions during that period of losses. He fielded in faultless style and was on the paths abojut as much as usual, and that, if you know it, is pretty often, as he is just about the best lead-off man in the business. PURVIS EASY WINNER Tiger (Kid) Purvis of Kokomo was an easy victor over Jimmy Slusher, Indianapolis, in the sixround main event of the Broad Ripple ring show Thursday night. Jimmy Dunham shaded Frank Welton, four rounds. Lew Spencer defeated Paul Schubert in four rounds and Stup Jenkins outpointed Bill Bentz, four rounds.

THERE were times during the match between Bill Reed, veteran Indianapolis amateur golfer, present and past city champion, and George Lance when the gal-

lery at the Indiana State amateur golf meet at Terre Haute last summer believed that Bill was going to set back the ambitions of Lance to become amateur champ of Hoosierdom. Bill passed up the opportunities that were afforded him and was defeated. Lance, spurred by the victory over Reed,

Air 1 j

Reed

carried on and defeated John Simpson for the title in the final match. Next week Bill is expected to be back in the fight for the Lance crown at French Lick upper course. Since last summer Bill has succeeded in capturing the Indianapolis municipal course championship and was number one man on a team of four that went to Philadelphia recently and fell by the wayside because his 162 for thirtysix holes of qualifying play was not in soon enough to get him into the qualifying list of thirty-two. So Bill joined his team mates, Leslie Mueslng, John McGuire and L. C. Smith in the trip back to Indianapolis, shorn of their 1928 chance to become the champion municipal golf team or any one of them the national municipal champion for this year. u u a ANOTHER player who has been well up in State amateur golf ranks, also the Big Ten conference

champion and stellar Purdue University golfer, is none other than

John Lehman of Gary. Lehman, like Reed, had opportunities to take Lance for a ride in his match with the present cham pion at Terre Haute, but again Lance proved too tough, being able to play eagles where Lehman played birdies, and birdies where Lehman played par. The best Lehman

• Vs-

Lehman

would do found Lance doing something better and the college boy champion took exit from the meet after that engagement. Lehman this year is shooting splendid golf. He was in a swell position to batter down the course par at Riverside, 111., in the qualifying round of the national open in June, but was overtaken by darkness and forced to stop play. He was required to be back in Lafayette to graduate from Purdue the next morning and was unable to finish the qualifying play that would have put him In the big show. Lehman will be at French Lick next week ready to battle John Simpson, Dwight Mitchell, Bill Reed, George Lance and his other rivals in the amateur ranks. The meet promises to be a warm affair.
