State Golf Gossip

BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, Ind., Aug. 31. Chuck Bader of Gary dropped a fifty-foot putt for a birdie two in his match with John Lehman, Thursday, but such things fail to worry Johnny, who seems to have an entirely different and better game this year. Tbe fourth hole, 'where Bader caught his birdie in the morning with a long putt, also was lucky for Lehman Thursday afternoon. The Big Ten star hit one inch from the pin and was down in two. Dwight Mitchell, local star, had a hard time shaking off John Bartlett of Hammond, Thursday, and a lead of one up he gained at the ninth hole, was all the lead he could gain before lunch. The rain seemed to bother Bartlett, for his magic putter failed on water soaked greens and Mitchell was the master from the start in the afternoon round. Bob Bowen, the Indianapolis Country Club star, deserves much praise for the way he clung on in his Thursday match with George Lance. Lance had to battle hard to get even at the end of eighteen holes. Bowen and Lance were caught in the deluge that fell early Thursday afternoon. They continued to play and. their scores mounted. Bowen drvoe a ball out of bounds from the eighth tee and Lance lost a ball on his second shot. Both carried a penalty stroke and halved the hole with sevens. Bill Diddel was a steady 38 shooter Thursday, having that score on both his first nines. Other golfers say Bill has a path he follows over the local hills. Diddel shot par golf on the last eight holes of the morning round Thursday to lead Moore four-up at the end of eighteen. In the afternoon Diddel had three birdies and six pars in twelve holes. Indianapolis players are rather scarce In the flights, mostly because a majority of them “pulled freight” Wednesday and left the Stnte performers here to collect the watchfs, pens,, pencils, and. other prizes. Much criticism has been heard about the defaulting and the many prizes that are won with little or no playing at all bv the winners. Many suggest that fewer flights be named and allow the prizes to go to the winners of the various flights, the runners-up. the losing semi-flnalists and in some cases the losing auarterfinalists in the championship flight. The losing quarter-flnalists Thursday, got nothing while some of the flight winners took home prizes and never even stepped on a green in match play. Sunstroke Kills Football Star By United Press ANNAPOLIS, Md., Aug. 31.—Miles Fox, 19, brilliant prospect for quarterback on the United States Navy football team, died today from sunstroke suffered during football practice Thursday. He reported for practice at 3 p. m. and demonstrated great open field running ability. At 4 o’clock he was carried from the field. He never regained consciousness. His parents, summoned from Steelton, Pa., arrived too late to see him alive.

Semi-Final Encounters Staged in State Amateur Golf Meet

Star Trotter to Race Here Next Monday Spencer Entered in Horseman Futurity at State Fair Track. Spencer, wing-footed son of Lee Tide-Petrex, who captured the $66,000 Hambletonian 3-year-old trot this week at Syracuse, N. Y., is scheduled to make his next appearance in the Horseman Futurity at the Grand Circuit meeting here next Monday at the State Fair track. The colt will be called upon in Indianapolis to trim practically the same field he disposed of in the harness turfs premier classic. It likely will be composed of Scotland, Red Aubrey, Gaylworthy, Etta Volo, Otzinaclison, Bogalusa the Great and two or three others. Guy Abbe, the Calumet farm colt, who finished second in the Hambletonian, is not entered in The Horseman, but is scheduled to be seen in the Marott Shoe Shop 3-year-old trot. The victory of Spencer in the big race was gratifying to the veteran Lon McDonald of Indianapolis, dean of Grand Circuit reinsmen. He developed the colt as a 2-year-old. McDonald is home here recovering from injuries suffered in a bad spill two weeks ago at Cleveland and consequently could not pilot the son of Lee Tide in his big engagement. Spencer, without question, is the greatest colt McDonald has developed for the grand circuit fray and he has tutored many brilliant ones. LOMSKI STARTS SUIT Claims League Owes Him $3,500 for Bout at Oakhurst. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—Lomski, Aberdeen, Wash., light heavyweight, started suit Thursday in Supreme Court against the Children’s Welfare League of Oakhurst, N. J., for $3,500 which he claims is due him under terms of an agreement lie made for a benefit appearance at Long Beach, N. Y., Aug. 24. Lomski was given SSOO in cash and a check for $3,500. Payment had been stopped on the check, Lomski alleges, when it was presented at the bank. STILL USES FIRST PUTTER When Johnny Farrell worked in Tommy Kerrigan’s golf shop at Siwanoy, he was given an old putter by Kerrigan. And he still uses it. “Tillie” Schafer, former major League star, is ranked as one of the leading amateur golfers around Los Angeles.

Danny Boone

Looking back at that K. C. series wherein the Indians lost four of five and the league lead, the performance of Pitcher Danny Boone stands out. He shut out the Kawtown boys, 5 to 0, allowing only five hits. The achievement occurred in the first tilt of Tuesday’s doubleheader. He was not solved for an extra base blow and did not issue a walk. He is one of three pitchers to defeat the Blues in their last twenty starts. It was a peculiar series. The Indians out-batted the Blues in four of the battles.

$50,000 Is Paid for Schuble and Pitcher Barnes Bn United Press HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 31.—Sale oi Heinie Schuble, shortstop, and Frank Barnes, left-handed pitcher, to the Detroit Tigers for $50,000, was announced today by President Fred Ankerman of the Houston Buffaloes. While no individual prices were given out, it is generally understood that Schuble brought about $35,000. It was believed to be a record price for a Texas leaguer. Schuble and Barnes will report immediately after the Dixie series, provided the Buffaloes get into the Southern championship fight, or after the Texas League playoff, if Wichita Falls wins the loop title.

George Lance, Defending Champion, Opposed by Johnny Lehman. MITCHELL VS. DIDDEL Four Survivors Strive to Reach Finals. BULLETIN FRENCH LICK, Ind., Aug. 31. —George Lance of Terre Haute, defending champion, yas two up on Johnny Lehman of Gary, at the end of nine holes of their 36-hole semi-final match in the State Amateur tourney today. Dwight Mitchell, French Lick, was one up on Will Diddel of Indianapolis, at the end of nine holes in the other semi-final. BY DICK MILLER Times Staff Correspondent FRENCH LICK, Ind., Aug. 31. The eyes of Indiana golfdom were cast toward French Lick today where the semi-finals matches in the annual State Amateur championship were being played. George Lance, of Terre Haute, defending champion, was pitted against John Lehman, of Gary, Big Ten Conference star and Dwight Mitchell, local flash, crossed mashies with Will Diddel, Indianapolis veteran. No one questioned the statement that the four represented the cream of the State’s gutta-percha chasers. Lehman played some beautiful rounds this week and Thursday hung up a great card to beat his club mate, C. W. Bader, 4 and 3. Lance was not so good Thursday and mixed in some bad golf on an otherwise gcod-)ooking card against Bob Bowen of Indianapolis, whom he defeated, 4 and 3. Bill Diddel came through with a fine performance to down E. M. Moore of South Bend, 8 and 6. Bill rallied near the end of the morning eighteen to gain a 4 up lead at lunch time. He increased that two more in the first nine holes of the afternoon and when he caged two birdies on holes twenty-nine and thirty, the match was over. In the other quarter final match, Dwight Mitchell got hot in the afternoon as if he liked the idea of playing in the rain. He led John Bartlett of Hammond, 1 up after 18 holes. He was 6 up at 27, and finished the match on the thirtysecond hole, 5 and 4.

LIVELY WELCOME PLANNED FOR TRIBE SATURDAY; TOP BERTH GOES TO MILLERS

Indians Need Whole-Hearted Support If They Are to Regain Lead; K. C. Four-Run Rally in Ninth Ruins Betzeiites Thursday, 6 to 5.

BY EDDIE ASH Toppled from the league lead by losing four out of five games in Kansas City, the Indians came home today to enjoy a short rest before tackling the Louisville Colonels Saturday in the first tilt of a six-game series. After being pursued since June 23, the Tribe now will try the role of pursuer in an effort to regain the pennant berth occupied by Minneapolis, the Millers having reached the top Thursday by winning two from Columbus while Kansas City again knocked off the Betzeiites, 6 to 5. West Plays West Eastern clubs of the A. A. were idle today, but not so with the w ostein teams. Minneapolis was carded to battle St. Paul and Milwaukee was at Kansas City. The Millers can lose today and still retain the lead, if K. C. loses, and Kansas City can pass the Indians by beating the Brewers. Yes, the race is full of heat—red hot! Realizing the predicament the home pastimers are in, Tribe fans are going to stage a parade and pep session Saturday in an effort to encourage the athletes and pay tribute to the team that stayed out in front for a long, long time. Weakened by injuries to Spencer and Layne and the loss of Comorosky during the hardest and most important part of the road trip, it was only natural the Indians succumbed and tumbled out of first place. Boone Lone Victor The Tribesmen bumped into the Blues when the K. O. outfit was going at its best and Danny Boone was the only Tribe hurler able to puzzle the Cowboys. Zwilling’s team has had a remarkable run of victories and has won seventeen tilts in its last twenty starts. The Saturday booster parade here and home-coming celebration will start at 1 p. m. There will be a big outpouring of fans and much noise, all of which will be welcomed by the Indians who have been playing before hostile crowds, since Aug. 9. It’s not too late for the Betzeiites to win the pennant they are through meeting the powerful clubs of the West. Twenty-six games to go! Get ’em back on top fans, and they’ll have a splendid chance to stay there.

After One Out in Ninth—Zowie!

By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 31. The Indians were within two outs of retaining the league lead Thursday when the sky fell in on ’em. And it was a Blue sky. Out in front, 5 to 2, with one K. C. pastimer disposed of in the ninth, Jimmy Zinn batted for Nelson and tripled. The rally was on! Kuhel singled Zinn home. Score. 5 to 3. Wamby singled, sending Kuhel to third. Wilson doubled, scoring Kuhel and sending Wamby to third, 5 to 4. Nicholson singled, scoring Wamby and Wilsos, 6 to 5, and curtains. Swetonic caved in after Zinn’s triple and K. C. fans staged another wild celebration that saw the demise of many more straw hats. It looked like a romp for the Indians for eight innings and the Hoosier players were in a jolly mood until the barrage of base hits was launched by Zwilling’s crew in the ninth. Swetonic held the locals runless from the second round until the ninth and appeared to be breezing in. It’s tough to lose ’em, but when you lose them that way it’s tougher. Chatham held the ball while Worth scored in the second, and

Star Twirler With St. Philips

ONE of the outstanding twirlers in local amateur circles is Russell Paugh, ace of the St. Philip A. C. staff. Paugh. an Acton (Ind.) lad, was one of the star hurlers with the Indiana University squad this spring and has carved himself an enviable niche in city baseball circles this summer. Last Sunday against the fast Riverside A. A.s Paugh pitched the St. Philips to their fifteenth victory, and in so doing fanned seventeen Riverside batters, bringing his total strikeout list to 118 for nine contests. In addition to his pitching ability Paugh is a hard hitter. His batting average for the season is slightly over .500. He will return to Indiana “U” this fall.

then threw too late to catch Swetonic at first, the latter getting credit for a hit. Burrus was charged with an error in the sixth when he dropped Michael’s high pop. Riddle stole second while Warmouth was winding up in the second. It was in the same frame that Riddle was nipped off the same bag on Peters’ sharp throw to Chatham.

Yankee Links Players Lead British Team Need but Three Victories as Final Walker Cup Tilts Start.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor CHICAGO GOLF CLUB, WHEATON, 111., Aug. 31—Needing but three victories in the eight singles matches to retain the Walker Cup, the American team under Capt. Bobby Jones set out today to make short work of the business of disposing of the British challengers. Having won four points by making a clean sweep of the two-ball foursomes which made up the first day’s play, the American amateurs held a commanding lead. The pairings for the eight singles match which compromisd the closing day’s play were: R. T. Jones, U. S.. vs. T. Phillip Perkins, Great Britain. ... „ George Von Elm. U. S.. vs. Dr. W. Tj Tweddell, Great Britain. Francis Quimet. U. S.. vs. Major O. O. Hezcl, Great Britain. . _ .. Jess Sweetser. U. S., vs. W. O. Hope, Great Britain. _ _ . Harrison R. Johnston, U. S.. vs. Eustace Storey. Great Britain. _ _ Charles Evans, Jr., vs. T. A. Torrance, Great Britain. _ .. .. Watts Gunn, U. S., vs. R. H. Hardman, Great Britain. _ , _ „ Roland Mackenzie, U. S. t vs. Capt. G. N. C. Martin. Great Britain. Each of the eight Americans, however, was out to score a personal victory over his particular opponent, while the challengers, who up to the present series of matches always have made a bravo showing, even in defeat, sought to avoid the coat of white-wash which Jones and his team mates were quite willing to apply. Three of the four American pairs in the two-ball foursome matches Thursday had to fight from behind to overcome early advantages gained by their British opponents. Sweetser and Von Elm defeated Dr. Tweddell and Perkins, 7 and 6: Jones and Evans beat Major Hezlet and Hope, 5 and 3; Ouimet and Johnston downed Torrance and Storey, 4 and 2; while Mackenzie and Gunn, after a poor start, routed Beck and Dr. MacCallum, 7 and 5.
