T? AIN early in May means better 7 V fairways in Jvxx July and August. Golfers are looking for*’ard to those days as tournaments placing time. Whether they be senior, junior, men or feminine golfers, they are getting their season’s plans arranged. During May and June The Indianapolis Times will stage two annual affairs. The sixth annual interscholastic, or schoolboy meet, will be held at South Grove links the middle of June. The first annual Indianapolis Times women’s free golf lesson class tournament will be staged at Sarah Shank course on Sunday, May 17. The schoolboy tournament will have an entry of 200 or more while there will be a field of between thirty and forty women in the other affair. it tt tt During the past winter several hundred women wrote essays to The Times telling ‘Why I Would tike to Plav Golf.” From these essays forty were selected as the beet. The contestants were divided into four classes and given six free lessons each by Roy Smith, pro at Avalon, and Dick Nelson, pro at Meridian Hills, assisted by Lester Smith and Mel Earton, professionals. Because most of them are business women it Is found necessary to hold the tournament on Sunday. It will be a r.ine-hole event and will be arranged by A. C. Sallee, park superintendent, and Arthur G. Lockwood, municipal golf director in a way to cause least possible inconvenience to the regular Sarah Shank players. There will be several prizes. The forty players who were members of the four classes are advised to get into action and prepare their games for the test. Time and other tournament details Will be announced next week. NEXT month, along about the close of school, the sixth annual schoolboy tournament will be staged by The Times at South Grove. This event has developed hundreds of boy golfers, some of them now contenders for the state amateur championship, some of them golf professionals and all of them good golfers. tt a a In the past It has been the policy to stage only one tournament and entrants. ' whether they be from high schools or j srrade schools, were forced to play in the one event. The entry list of boys of ; Krade school age has grown so fast it has become a field In Itself. This year there will be a high school division and a grade school division. Tha high school event will take in entries from Manual, Technical. Shortridge Washington, Broad j Ripple. Cathedral and Park school. The grade school division will include all boys Jn public or parochial schools or private schools up to the eighth grade or equivalent. However, some of the boys in the j higher grades of common school will prefer to try their luck in the big event. Anv grade school boy who wishes to play In the high school cbamplonshp may. do so. The first day will be given over to ouallfylng play, eighteen holes, from morning until night. Both high school and grade school boys will qualify on the same i day. The thirty-two high school boys with j the lowest qualifying scores will be formed j into the championship flight. They will | play morning and afternoon matches of eighteen holes each for the next two days until the two finalists are determined. The two who fight for the championship will play thirty-six holes. a tt tt THE grade school boys will play only afternoon matches. The sixteen lowest qualifiers will be formed into a championship flight and all the matches in this division will be eighteen holes, final match Included. More anonuncements about this tournament will be made. a tt All that is required for entry is that the boy have a set of clubs and that he attend grade school or high school and be able to have his entry blank signed by tho principal or golf coach of that school. I The golf coaches of the h|gh schools will meet at The Times next week and determine the dates.

NATIONAL LEAGUE HURLERS HOLD UPPER HAND

Ten Pitchers Give 48 Hits in Three Battles

Grimes of Cards, Meine of Pirates, Walker of Giants, Phelps of Robins, Collins of Phillies and Sherdel of Braves Shine. BY LEO H. PETERSON NEW YORK, May 7—National League pitchers, displaying midseason form, apparently have gained the upper hand over the batsmen in their circuit. The sensational hurling performances which have become so common in the senior circuit this season continued Wednesday as the ten pitchers who appeared in the three games played, one of which went thirteen innings, allowed only sixteen runs and forty-eight hits. Only one of the hits was a home run. American League hurlers continued to experience difficulty, however. Fifteen hurlers saw service in the three contests and were mauled for forty-three runs and seventy-six hits, including seven homers.

Hornsby May Shift Cubs

Bn United Press CHICAGO, May 7—Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs, considered a shift In his lineup as the Cubs prepared to leave for the east after their final game against the Cincinnati Reds today. Only three members of the Cubs are batting over .300 and double plays and men left on bases have cost the team several games already this season. If Charley Grimm continues in his batting slump, Hornsby may send Foots Blair to first base.

FRENCH BOXERS ARRIVE By Unit 'd Press NEW YORK, May 7.—Fog that delayed their vessel from landing for nine hours cost the members of the French amateur boxing team, which will meet the winners of the Golden Gloves tournament between New York and Chicago at Chicago, May 12, the reception planned for them when they landed here early Wednesday night. Two hours after they landed, the French boxers left for Chicago. They had been held at sea by the heavy fog from early Wednesday.

Babe Phelps and Bill Walker hooked up in an old-fashioned pitchers dual as the Brooklyn Robins shut out the New York Giants 1 to 0. Phelps allowed but four hits until he was removed in the seventh inning for a pinch hitter, Ernest Lombardi, whose long fly scored Rube Bressler with the only tally of the game. Walker allowed the Robins but four hits during his seven Innings of work. Sherdel Gives Up Four Sherdel, star southpaw of the Boston Braves, allowed the Philadelphia Phillies but four hits, although beaten, 3 to 1. A home run by Arlett, costly Pacific Coast League rookie, with a mate on base in the seventh inning caused Sherdel’s downfall. Phil Collins held the Braves to seven scattered hits. Burleigh Grimes, although he had to be relieved by Jim Lindsey continued his brilliant mound work as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in a thirteeninning game, 6to 5. Geltert’s triple followed by Martin’s single gave the Cardinals the winning tally. Grimes was relieved in the thirteenth inning. The Pirates had the bases full and two out when Lindsey forced Comorosky to ground out. Meine went tha route for the Pirates. Yanks Drop Nats The usual pitching parades featured the American League contests. Six hurlers saw service as the New York Yankees made it two out of three from the Washington Senators, 10 to 7. Each team got tw’o home runs. One of them was Babe Ruth’s fourth of the season and came with a teammate on base. The Yankees bombarded Fischer, Marberry and Brown for fourteen hits while the Senators got one less of! Johnson, Weinert and Sherid. It was the first series victory for the Yanks over the Senators in two years. Boston’s Red Sox used three pitchers in their 10 to 3 defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Athletics. A1 Simmons got five of the eighteen hits turned in by Philadelphia off Russell, Lisenbee and Kline. Errors Cost Sox * Chicago fell back to its booting tactics to toss another ball game away, this one to Detroit, 9 to 4. 1 Two errors in the field kept the Sox pitchers—Caraway, Braxton and Moore—in the hole. Bridges and Herring held Chicago to nine hits. The other American League contest scheduled, between Cleveland and St. Louis, was postponed because of cold weather. Rain caused the postponement of the Cincinnati-Chicago National League game.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TRIES

Babe Goes After ’Em

THAT short foul fly was almost out of reach of a guy with a bum leg. But Babe Ruth—at first base for the New Yxk Yankees Monday— made the headlong plunge shown in this unusual photo and snagged the ball just as it was about to drop in the grass. The spectacular play occurred during a game with Washington’s Senators at Yankee stadium, New York. The Bambino was shifted from the outfield to the infield while one leg, injured in play several weeks ago, still was on the mend.

Buzz Arlett

WHEN the Phillies opened the purse strings and poured plenty of cash into the coffers of the Oakland (Pacifiic Coast League) club for big Buzz Arlett, there were many who were skeptical. For many years Buzz had roamed the pastures of the Pacific Coast League, swatting hurlers in that loop for homers and a fat average. His sensational stick work has continued in the big show. He is tied with Hornsby of the Cubs and Stone of the Tigers for major league homer honors, and also boasts a high average. His four-base clout Wednesday gave the Phils a 3 to 1 win over Boston’s Braves.
