BY DICK MILLER George Lance was back at his I root beer stand at Terre Haute today, the State amateur golf champion for one more year. Saturday George handed a crushing defeat to William Diddel of Indianapolis as the climax to a week of champion-

ship tournament play over the French Lick hills course. The score of the final match was 9 up and 8 to play. Lance entered the State amateur ranks a newcomer at Terre Haute last year, an inauspicious entry from the Rea Park municipal course, but he wended his way to the top and in the final

by a margin of seven strokes over John Lehman of Gary, 145 to 152. In his first match Lance defeated Charles Taylor of La Porte, and in his second contest eliminated Tony Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne. Both were decisive victories. Bob Bowen of the Indianapolis Country Club gave Lance tough opposition for more than half of their thirty-six-hole match Thursday, but he took the “air” from competition when Lance started hitting his stride. John Lehman, the brilliant young golfer from Gary, was no match for the champion Friday and Lance’s journey through the" semi-finals was more or less easy.

Diddel battled Lance for nine holes Saturday but began to weaken under the champion’s par golf fire. Lance started on the ninth hole to shoot par and continued to hit par or birdies until he missed a short putt on the ninth green in the afternoon round which spoiled a par and a run of four birdies and fourteen pars.

A. clubs engaged In two games today the flag race may undergo some changes by night fall and Tribe fans were keyed up with the hope the Betzelites would nab two from the pesky Colonels. The pastimers from mint Julep land are proving very tough for the home talent. On Saturday the Indians barely nosed in with victory, 4 to 3, and on Sunday the Hoosier athletes were sent to the club house in tears, and in_the meantime Minneapolis increased its lead. Joe Deberry pitched ace high ball for Louisville and eased through to a 5 to 2 win. He allowed only three hits in eight innings and it wasn’t until the ninti* after two were out that the Betzels scored. A walk to Matthews, a double by Connolly and Haney’s single to short right accounted for the two Tribe markers. Five Tribe Hits Only twenty-five men faced Deberry in eight stanzas—that’s how well the former Florida lot salesman propelled the sphere. He held the Indians to five hits. The crowd of 5,500 stayed until the finish and pulled for a rally that finally came in the last inning, and then fell far short. Danny Boone hurled for the Tribe and poor control helped toward his downfall. He permitted only seven hits, but five were doubles and two of three bases on balls developed into runs, and a hit batsman also made the circuit. Dudley Branom, the rangy Colonel 1 flrst-sacker, twice socked Boone for two bases. He certainly Is poison to the Indians, for on Saturday he pojed two singles and a homer off Leverett. Speed Around Keystone Sicking and Olivares gave Deberry splendid support, the former accepting ten chances and the latter seven. The keystone pair gobbled up everything in sight. Sicking is the class of the league at second and he has made a fielding whiz of Olivares. The defeat was a blow, but it couldn’t be helped. In fact Joe Deberry probably would have bumped off anybody Sunday—that’s how well he pitched.

Outfielder Clyde Barnhart, obtained from the Pirates on option, reported to the Indians Saturday, but was unable to play over the week-end, because of illness. He has some sort of a rash. Tribe rooters hope it’s a base hit rash. Shortstop Olivares made a dandy play on Worth in the eighth Sunday and threw out the runner by a half otep, after taking the ball in deep short. It would have been a hit in the Sally League. Spencer returned to the Tribe line-up Sunday after being out since he was Injured In Minneapolis. Scout Joe Engle of Washington was a visitor Sunday. He travels much. Cuban Olivares drew three walks off Boone Sunday and two of the passes developed into runs. Nachand twice looked at a third strike. Thompson hit two sacrifice fly balls. Olivare*’ theft of second In the second appeared to be a rift by Umpire McCafferty. Tribe Inflelders howled, bat got nowhere. Boote speared Olivares’ line drive with one hi.nd in the fifth. Worth made a fine catch on Deberry in the fifth when he dashed In back of snort and got the sphere at his shoe tops. Two Indians were retired in the ninth when Matthews walked and reached third on Connolly’s double that took a bad hop away from Rutherford. Haney’s pop fly single scored the runners and Russell ended the pastiming with a fly to Loftus. Roseell made • poor throw to the plate after taking Thompson’s short fly In the sixth. Sicking scored easily end Branom moved np a base when the ball squirted away from Spencer. Holke executed a fancy stop on Rutherford’s grounder to his right in the sixth and tossed to Boone for the out. Matthews rushed in fast and nailed Loftus’ liner in the seventh and threw to Warstler for a double killing on Funk. In the first six innings only eighteen men faced Deberry—three to an inning. Two double plays helped Joe retire the Indians in order, and in the fifth Worth was caught stealing after gettln# a single. Much labor was wasted. Tribe officials, expecting an overflow crowd, ordered the field seats put up. And the seats weren’t occupied. Evidently many fans waited for today’s bargain bill. Rockne Returns After Big Tour Bv United Brest NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Knute Rockne and his special Olympic party of 163 were back in the United States today after a European tour. They arrived Sunday on the Transylvania. “Pop” Warner, Stanford coach, hurried from the gang plank to catch a train for the Pacific coast to take charge of his I football squad. Rockne believes the reason the United States failed to &in more running races was because the men were overtrained.

Yank Tennis Team Piles Up Big Lead Americans Face Britons in Closing Matches of International Series. ' BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y„ Sept. 3 Following in the wake of the smashing victory of the United States Walker Cup team over England on the golf links, the American tennis team today was prepared to complete the route of the invading Britons on the tennis court. The two-day International team match started Saturday, with the United States winning three out of four matches. Even without the ineligible Bill Tilden and George Lott and John Hennessey, who were unavailable for the team because of the National Double final at Chestnut Hill, Mass., the United States team repelled the opening thrusts of England’s best. Francis T. Hunter, ranked No. 2 last year, but who is unlikely to make the first ten this season unless he shows a complete reversal of form in the national championships stalling Sept. 10, lost the only match. J. C. Gregory, ranked No. 4 in England, beat Hunter in two straight sets. Wilmer Allison, the sandy-haired Texan, and John Van Ryn, the Princeton ace, further demonstrated their increasing ability by winning their singles matches. Allison beat Edward Higgs, England’s ranking player, in straight sets, and Van Ryn downed the brilliant Bunny Austin in a three-set battle. Johnny Doeg, the Santa Monica southpaw, and Wilbur Coen, Jr., came from behind to take the ‘doubles from Higgs and I. G. Collins after losing the first set. Today’s program was: Van Ryn vs. Higgs. Allison vs. Austin. Coen vs. Collins. Allison and Van Ryn vs. Austin and Gregory. Unless the English players show a decided improvement in their play, the United States should make a clean sweep or win three out of the four matches.

Dividing interest with the main event is the eight-rounder between Bobby Allen of Chicago and Tracy Cox of this city. The fans have had a sample of the fistic prowess of both these boys recently Harry Kreindler, who was to meet Otto Atterson in a six-rounder, got hurt in training and bis place will be taken by Jimmy Brown of Cincinnati.

Marberry held the Yanks to four hits, not a man reaching third and only two reaching second.

Jim Bottomley’s hitting enabled the St. Louis Cardinals to bcai the Cincinnati Reds. 3 to 3. He accounted for all five

obviously the future of United States tennis rests on Hennessey and Lott, who Saturday swept to victory in the National doubles final over the Australian veterans, Gerald Patterson and Jack Hawkes, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. Sixty-four of the world’s greatest court performers will compete in the national singles. Rene La Coste, the French ace, 1927 winner, will not defend his title this year. In his place France sends an impressive lineup of stars headed by Henri Cochet, Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon. England, Australia, Japan, Canada, Spain and Cuba also will be represented. The championship draw will be made here Tuesday. One of the features of the meet probably will be the race for the ranking No. 1 position of American tennis for the year. The national singles will count heavily with the ranking committee.
