Gibson Dunlap Turns in 69; Jones Is Second With 70. PLAY 18 HOLES TODAY ; Johnny Lehman, Gary, Eighth With 73. BV FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor PEBBLE BEACH, Cal., Sept. 3. Led by a hard-hitting, smooth stroking, youngster from down state, the field of contestants in the national amateur golf championship resumed today its pursuit of the coveted thirty-two places which will reward the low scorers who have qualified for match play by nightfall. Fame, a fickle jade at best, rendered more flighty by the vagaries of golf, perched temporarily atop the curly thatch of 21-year-old Gibson Dunlap, student at the University of California at Los Angeles, who set the pace on the opening day of the thirty-third national amateur tournament with a surprising 69, three strokes under par for Pebble Beach. Unheralded “Gibble” shared honors Monday with Bobby Jones, the perennial champion. It is correct to say that he stole the Atlantan’s thunder. Triumphs Under Strain Bobby, after all, did not do so badly Monday, carding a characteristic 70 to the accompaniment of delighted whoops from the largest gallery that ever attended a qualifying round in a national championship. But admitting that Jones was his own inimitable self, the first day’s honors rightly rest with the young Los Angeles collegian. There were only two real shots fired Monday, as "a matter of fact, and they rang out "bang-bang” as Gibbie followed Bobby to the eighteenth green. The 133 other Indians bit the dust. Under the strain of knowing that he had to shoot two under par figures for the last six holes of the difficult championship course. Young Dunlap showed at most a modicum of concern. He u T ent out and did it Coming up to the eighteenth, he needed a birdie four on the hardest hole of the course. Par five would have tied him with the champion, whose acclaim still was rolling from 5.000 throats out across the blue green Pacific as Dunlap prepared to play. Birdie on 18th This youngster, who went out in front of the pack early today, isn’t the kind to play safe, however. He went out after that birdie and bagged it. And then he said, when it was over, that the fifteen-foot putt he sank or the home green hadn't given him a moment’s pause. As for Bob JoneS, he demonstrated, as every one predicted, that he will be exceedingly hard to beat at Pebble Beach. This pair alone broke par Monday. But within ten strokes of the faststepping young Californian were some of the prominent contenders, grouped as follows: 72—Harrison R- Johnston. Bellwooc, Minn.: Dr. O. T. Willing. Portland.

Indiana Alleys Friday—Speedway League. The Washington League should be speeded up this year, as the restrictions have been raised so that bowlers with an average of 185 or under can now enter this loop. It hardly seems proper not to have John Martin and Bill Reitzell lining up clubs for the start. These pioneers were at the helm of the Capitol drives for eighteen years. The Recreation League rolling on the Delaware alleys are In need of one club to complete this organization. Any unattached bowlers who wish to roll can be taken care of by getting in. touch with Bill Sargent at these alleys. Jack Hendricks Jr., has sponsored a team for the fast Indianapolis League. This club will roll under the nome of the Rooseveit-Marmon. The Hayes Body Corporation also has secured a franchise in the Indianapolis loop. Other new clubs are the AtwaterKent and Oeftering-Litzelman Coal. Webb Wallace and John Blue will again be In charge at the Indiana drives. John Beam is at the Illinois. Jess Pritchett at the FYltehett Recreation, Bill Sargent at the Delaware. Fay Bailey at the Uptown, Lorenz Weisman at the Elks Club, Bill Moran at the St. Philips and P. Harmon at the Fountain Square. Harmon is the only newcomer. “Hod" Eller is all set for a big season, as he has a new ball, and claims to have a new style delivery. Elmer Mallory is going to use a fourteen-pound ball, and a load of chatter this season. Elmer asserts he always cac talk a good game. Bob Wuenseh, the sensation of last year, has signed up to roll with the Roosevelt team this season. The city champion Marotte have been forced to change the personnal of their club, owing to the ruling of the A. F. C. that no two men wonting at, or interested in bowling alleys, esn roll on the same club. Charlie Cray will be missing from this team and Jimmy Hurt will take his place In the Une-up. Cray haa signed to roll with the Meridian Garage team. This team has the doubles, singles and all-events state champion, Fonnie Snyder. Joe Fulton shares the doubles honors with Snyder.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jonnard Wins and Schupp Loses on Holiday; Indians Idle Today Columbus Senators Come Wednesday and Chuck Klein Friday; Series With Colonels Divided.

After going ’round and ’round for two and one-half hours, the Colonels and Indians finished even up in the holiday double-header Monday, with the *rr'?iers taking the first tilt, 10 to 2, and the southern pastimers the second, 8 to 5, the nightcap being stopped after seven innings by agreement to allow Louisville to catch a train. Claude Jonnard had the Colonels baffled in the Monday opener and held them to seven hits. Williams went good for Louisville until the fourth when he was nicked for four hits and two runs, and in the sixth the Indians got to him again for three markers on three hits and two walks. Creson and Deberry were other Colonel hurlers in this fracas. And Creson got bombarded and knocked out in the eighth. Schupp Knocked Out Welzer and Schupp were the opposing flingers at the start of the second encounter, but the latter soon was driven to cover by a violent Louisville attack. He was sent to the showers in the third stanza, the Colonels getting to him for nine hits in two and one-third innings. Teachout relieved the veteran and pitched the remainder of the way, and the Colonels got no runs after the third, the inning in which they amassed five. Welzer started weakening in the third round and in the fourth he was punched for a single, triple and home run, which made the score 8 and 4, Louisville. In the seventh the Indians again started after Welzer and he was taken out with one run in, two out and two on. Moss went to the rescue and retired the side for the game-ending out, for by that time it was 5:30, the hour the teams agreed to cease hostilities. Phillies Here Friday The four-game series was divided by the rival nines, leaving Louisville far ahead in the club and club

Barnhart's triple went out near the flagpole in eenter Sicking: and Warstler turned in several food plays during the second game. The ndlans reeled on three two-ply killings.
