TWO big events for the golfers were on today, the first proemateur tournament of the season attracting a big field to Highland Country Club and the annual Indianapolis District Golf Association dinner set for the Columbia Club at 6:30 tonight. The association anticipates the biggest turnout ever at the dinner. Arrangements have been made for a big display of merchandise by local spOTtlng goods dealers and clothiers, special food and special entertainment which will include Bobby Jones pictures and talkies. a a a Tb< pro.jras.tear at Kisbiind attracted •11 the pros from the central section o' the state within a radius of seventy.five taiies and many of then brought their own anatecr partners alons. There were, however, a larze number of local amateur ■tars read; to pair with any incoming pros. a a a Carl Ehersr and F. P. Davis, both members of Highland, entered the soli hall of fame the past weei:-nd by making a hole in or.e. Sherer took a cut at the ball with a mashie on the eighth tee and the bell floated greensv/ard and finally rolled into the cup. The dis.ar.ce was 153 yards. Davit was playing hole No. 11. when he caught one lust right. It took the 151 yards distance, the right number of hops and wedged between the cud wall and the Sag staff for an "ace''. Woodstock members participated in a rousing cpanlng day event with about fort" lotting par’ u. a blind car tournament. Vane- Smith, p-.lf chairman, draw out 77 as the blind por and Leonard Campbill with o 17 net hit that exactly. Three ♦led for second. Harold Taarpe and .lames Darlington with , of, and Charles Moores with 72. Smith tells us the net scores ranged from 70 to £9. which speaks pretty well for an opening event. The golf course wss opened for the season at Avalon Saturday ar.d Sunday with a big two-dav blind par tournament. Bill Hoyer tells us he was well pleased with the turnout. With the club housa rapidly hearing completion, eves now point towards the big opening dinner dance on M*v 22 and the dinner bridge on Mav 23. with all the outside work completed nothine can interfere with the completion of the interior except labor trouble. Hoyer expects that to be taken care of this week. AFIELD of 161 took part in the golf tournament. Five members tied for the blind par prize, each having the exact number, 79, for their net score. The five probably will draw later for the award. The players were Robert Wands, W. Frank Jones, Perry Ghere, Ed Magel and W. Montgomery. 808 More than ICO Highlanders took part in a big week-end of ball sweepstakes and blind par tournament golf, Louie Bola tells us. Frank Binford took down low gross honors with a 79 and John Madden captured low net spoils with a 67. Bill Cmphrey was hitting ’em right on the six blind holes 2. 1. 7 .10, 15 and 18. he learned after the pity was over and carried off first honors. Jack Tuitte was second and Jimmy Hamiil third in this division. Blind par was 73 net. When this number was called out. Dr. Karl Buddell. Mark Madden. Glen Van Auken, Mike Duffccy. Charlie Brackett and “Doc” Bouse all answered “yes.” b a b ~S. H. Thompson. Roy Rhodabaugh and Harry Coffins tied for second with 73's and Max Buell. Dr. Paul Hurt. Arch Grossman, Raiph Youne. Carl Sherer. William Mooney find Ted Byrne Tor third with 75's. Eight 78.’s hold by C. H Wilkinson. Frank Kissell. George Tenney. R. Berner, Dr. C. HMcCaskey. H. Arvin. Max Foland and Bui Van Lar.d.r.cham all tied for fourth. B s a GREEENFIELD opened its new country club links Saturday. L. E. Greer, secretary, informs us the course was in excellent condition. A big crowd played over the links during the week-end. While it is a country club, the boys within still are hopeful that they will be successful in interesting a few visiting folk from Indianapolis and elsewhere to play their course on the fee basis of 50 cents per day through the week ar.d 75 cents on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. There are plenty of natural hazards and large bent grass greens. a b a Miay of tho boys i this section might be interested in the amateur coif championship of the United States, either from a playing or a spectator basis. They will be glad to know the thirty-fifth annual tournament will be played at Beverly Country Citsb in Chicago this year. It will tike place the week of Aug. 31 to Sept. S, inclusive. This likely win be the week after the Indiana amateur event. It will be the first Bobby Joncsiess amateur for some time and should attract wide interest. a a s THE national open will be played at Inverness Club in Toledo, July 2,3 and 4. It also will be the thirty-fifth annual. Sectional qualifying play, thirty-six holes, medal, will be held on June 8 over twenty different courses throughout the country’. Indianapolis and Indiana pros probably will attempt to qualify over either the Medinah Country Club course at Medinah, 111., near Chicago, or over the Maketewah Country Club course at Cincinnati. Entrance fee to qualifying rounds will be $5.

INDIVIDUAL PLAY FEATURES BIG LEAGUE TILTS

Babe Ruth Rejoins Yanks, Leads Attack

Vance, Ferrell, Simmons and Benge Pace Teammates to Triumph; Cards Sweep Series With Cubs by Copping Extra-Inning Battle. BT DIXJON STEWART United Pres Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 4.—Easeball, essentially a team game, has been featured in the major leagues this season by individual performances. Naturally enough, the individual players have needed the aid of their mates, but it has become apparent that the pennant prospects of several clubs rest squarely upon the shoulders of star athletes who serve as “spark plugs” for their teams. This group includes Babe Ruth of the Yankees, Rogers Hcmsby of the Cubs, V/es Ferrell of Cleveland, Dazzy Vance and Adolfo Luque of the Robins and the “big five”—Simmons, Foxx, Cochrane, Earnshaw and Grove—of the Athletics. Ruth returned to the game Sunday after a ten-day layoff because of injuries and aided the New York Yankees to defeat Boston, 8 to 3. The Yankees, in a slump since Ruth was injured, played high-class ball and Pitcher Roy Sherid coasted to victory. Ruth retired after the game was on ice, but rapped out two singles, Grove in a run and scored once during his five innings of play.

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. May 4.—The new dead ball is something more I than a mocking myth. All along I the big league line the pitching so j far this season has tightened up. : The first batch of averages show the ; list of .300 hitters to be 50 per cent lower than it was a year ago. Last Thursday the pudsy. red laced. j toothy Fitzsimmons turnod in a two-hit i game for the Giants. The day before Vouna Wesley Ferrell contrived a no hitj ter for Cleveland And there have been i other notable pltchlne exploits, betokenI ire a definite wanine of the old time frlsklness and hellishness of B'rer Jack Rabbit. But the good hitters are still hittin*. you may contend. Don’t they always? The thine that made the old ball a leather bound fraud was the fact that it flew just as far and enthusiastically for a dime a dosen hitter as it did for a Ruth. It made heavyweights of bantamweights. The customers started to demand extra i base hits. The magnates obliged. There : is this to be said for the magnates—when ; the welfare of the box office is at stake | they can be most obliging.

st a # THREE years ago, Ban Johnson, no longer identified with the admitted the base hit content of ’ the ball has been deliberately and designedly extended. "The tremendous public interest in Ruth’s terrific drives convinced us that tne . ball should be made livelier, so we made it livelier,” he said. In rebuttal, the manufacturers teal: a long wind up and declared that Mr. John- | son was in his dotage, that he didn’t know what he was talking about and that the ! ball, in all its delicate organisms, was I essentially the same that old Colonel Abner Doubledva used to toss around up I in Cooperstown. N. V. Maybe so But before the current 6ei--1 son began it was announced that the ' ball which had never been changed. ar.d i therefore could not be a lively ball, would |be changed because it was too lively. Or I in other words if you do not care for chicken chow mein, how do you like your eggs, and if business has turned the : corner, where is the corner? I mean it’s lust a bit confusing. Why was the ball changed this time? j Too much slugging. Too many set up j home runs. The customers had begun to j walk cut on them. It got to be like : seeing a knockout in every fight. The value of the individual who did ; the slugging diminished also. Hack Wilson out home-runned Ruth a year ago. It takes a good man to do that no matter i what kind of ball he Is hitting. Did they j pay Wilson a Ruth salary? They did not. I What’s more Wilson didn’t even try to 1 get that kind of money. “If Ruth's worth SBO,OOO. I ought to be worth half as much anyway.” he argued, or perhaps boasted iis the word. I understand he wound up ! getting less. You can’t get away from the fir-ires and if they continue to indicate a growing pitching dominance—which must be asl signed princ.pally to the r.ew ball—you can write it down that the Jolly old magnuts were stringing you along when they - said they didn’t know it was loaded. BLOOMINGTON TRIUMPHS By Timas Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 4. Bloomington high school won th southern Indiana conference track and field meet, here Saturday with forty mints. Brazil was second.

With Dazzy Vance on the mound, he Brooklyn Robins showed their real class for the first time this reason and defeated the New York Giants, 4 to 3. Vance, who has been absent from the team because of death in his family, was in fine form and held the lead from the first inning when his mates scored a run. Strangely enough, the Robins, noted for poor base running, scored the winning run by clever and daring work on the paths. Fresco Thompson walked, stole second in the seventh and scored from there on an infield out with the winning run. Fourth for Ferrell Wes Ferrell, Cleveland’s ace pitcher who has promised to win thirty games and put the Indians in the pennant fight, won his fourth straight victory and his fifth of the season Sunday, defeating Detroit, 7to 4. A1 Simmons, leader of Philadelphia’s big five, batted the Athletics to a 3 to 1 triumph over Washington . Simmons’ triple in the first accounted for one run and he homered in the ninth for another. Rube Walberg held the Senators to seven hits and was r.ot scored on until the ninth when Cronin homered. Benge Mound Star Ray Benge turned in a mound masterpiece to give Philadelphia’s Phillies a 4 to 1 victory over Boston. Bangs held the Braves to six widely scattered singles and aided the attack with a single which drove in the final rim. Pir.key Whitney accounted for the Phils first scores with a homer in the second. St. Louis’ Cardinals made a clean sweep of a three-game series with their most dangerous rivals—the Chicago Cubs—by winning Sunday’s game, 5 to 4 in eleven innings. The Cards scored four runs in the first and were unable to tally again until Gel'cert counted on Frisch’s sacrifice in the eleventh. Appling Errors Costly The Cincinnati Reds ar.d Pittsburgh Pirates divided a doubleheader, Pittsburgh taking the opener, 6 to 3, and Cincinnati the second, 10 to 5.. The victory broke Cincinnati’s losing streak of seven consecutive games, after errors by Roush, Ford and Cuccinello had cost Red Lucas a defeat in the first game. Luke Appling, rookie Chicago White Sox shortstop, made three glaring errors which helped St. Louis defeat the Sox, 9 to 5. Two of Appling's bobbles occurred in the sixth inning when the Browns tallied seven runs.

Butler State Track Choice By Tines Special MUNCIE, Ind., May 4.—Butler’s strong track team is the favorite in the annual Little State meet to be held here Saturday, with De Pauv, defending champion, a strong contender Twenty-three Bulldog stars have been entered.

The Ball State track has been repaired and placed in top condition for the meet. Indiana, Notre Dame and Purdue are not invited to compete. A. 3, C.s ANNEX TWO Jim Taylor's A. B. C.s opened the seasen over the week-end and captured two out of three from the Chicago American Giants, losing Saturday, 12 to 6, and winning the Sunday twin bill, 12 to 5 and 7 to 4. It was a grand send-off for the local Negro team and 2,200 fans turned out for the Sabbath double-header. Enthusiasm was at high pitch Sunday and the A.s received wholehearted support from their followers. PARK SCHOOL WINS By Tines Special FRANKLIN, Ind., May 4. Although R. Cline allowed but four hits and fanned ten batsmen, Park school was forced to play an extra inning to beat Franklin Masonic home here Saturday, 5 to 4.

JOE ANDERSON of Cincinnati and Clyde Chastain of Dallas, Tex., will battle in Tuesday’s tenround feature scrap at’the Armory. The question of weight has kept these two well-known performers from meeting. Although both Anderson and Chastain have made fine records in the middleweight division, the Cincy pug has been fighting in the light-heavy class for some time and would net agree to meet Chastain under 165 pounos.

In the east, the Greentree Stables Twenty Grand won the SIO,OOO Wood Memorial at Jamaica in a drhing finish with Clock Tower. Twenty Grand won by a leigth, running the mile and sevent yards in 1:42 3-5. After the race, Twenty Grand was quoted the joint Derby favorite with Equipoise, who ran last in the Chesapeake stakes a week ago, at i 7 to 1. Equipoise’s poor showing | was attributed to a touch of kidney I poisoning, which is not expected to j keep him from going to the Derby j barrier in good chape. Twenty Grand also suffered a mishap in the Wood Memorial. when Glastonbury jumped on his i heels during the running of the : race. The eastern candidates, led by Twenty Grand, Equipoise, Mate, Anchors Aweigh and Surf Board, seem to have it all over the west-' ern horses now that Insco, Kentucky’s foremost candidates, Sweep All and Don Lean, have folded up. It is now up to Pittsburgher, which hadn’t been taken seriously until Saturday, and Spanish Flay, a winter track horse, to carry western hopes.
