CHICAGO CUBS JOIN CARDS AND GIANTS IN FLAG BATTLE.
f HOOTING
Eyes of Indianapolis golfers are on several national tournaments this spring. First on the list are the tryouts for the National Open. Qualifying rounds will be played throughout the country next Monday. The test will be for thirty-six holes and it may be a few days before the boys will know just who qualified. The championship committee will
determine the number to qualify frcm each center according to the field entered at that place. One hundred and fifty golfers will be an the National Open field when play starts at Inverness Club, Toledo, July 2,3, and 4. Players who were among the first thirty at the windup of the 1930 open are exempted from the qualifying play, automatically becoming members of the field. The remaining positions will be distributed to the various centers. Eight players from Indianapolis will try for the National Open, an unusual number. Leading the field of local entries will be Neal McIntyre, pro at Highland, right now
■ .
Mclntyre
at the peak of his game. Recently he won a seventy-two hole open at Benton Harbor, Michl with a score that undoubtedly w’ould place him high in the National. Neal will go to Chicago this week to get in a few practice rounds over the Medinah Country Club. Along with Neal on his invasion of the Windy City will be Bill Diddel, veteran amateur
player who is intent on regaining his former position in national golf circles. Several years ago, Bill just couldn’t be stopped in his drives for the state amateur championship. He finally gave in to the wishes ot some of the association members and withdrew from the field. The past couple of years Bill has been in the state tournament and last year was runner-up to George Lance, who now is ruling the roost with an Iron hand. George is present state champion, has been for four years and it is problematical when he will be dethroned. Anyway Lance will lead another delegation of Indianapolis aspirants who will try for the Open at Cincinnati. There wall be

Lance
six in Lance’s party and they will play over the Maketewan course. If Lance is dethroned in the near future, many local golf followers expect Bill Heinlein to do it. Bill got his entry in too late for the National Open, but tells us he will be in there at the Indianapolis district next week, the national amateur at Chicago, the state amateur
and the state junior. Sammy Simpson, local amateur, has been playing splendid golf this spring. He has played much with Lance, Heinlein, Mclntyre, Garringer and other good players. Shooting with better players tends to improve any golfer’s game. Sam has overcome his temper and has expended that effort toward concentration and is beginning to go places. The remainder of the Indianapolis team of eight in the National Open trial will be made up of Massie Miller, unattached pro playing from Indianapolis: Chuck Garringer, Speedway pro; Russell Stonehouse of Riverside and Ralph Stonehouse of Pleasant Run. Miller has been

east for several years, but did not attach with any club this spring. He has been warming up at the Speedway and that he is ready was indicated last week when he did eighteen holes in 63, twice around the nine holes east of the track. That is nine strokes under par. On another occasion he did the nine in 31. Ralph Stonehouse, who has
consistently been a contender in the state open and other big tournaments in the past few years, was in form last Sunday when he and Chuck Garringer gave Neal McIntyre and Roy Smith, Avalon pro, a trimming in a best ball match at Speedway. On the last nine Ralph was putting deadly. If he can get going at Cincy he will cause somebody some trouble. The same for Chuck, who according to some of the boys is a Dead Eye Dick with that putting blade. Russell Stonehouse, brother of Ralph, is one of the most consistent golfers in the city, but still lacks the flash that often would put him in the prize money. Indiana will also be represented
Cih§! I
Russell Stonehouse
by quite a delegation of northern section boys at Chicago, including Johnny Watson of South Bend, state open champion, and the versatile Walter Murray of Gary. We know these players going to Cincinnati and Chicago have the well wishes of all Indianapolis and Indiana golfers. Now for a few qualifiers.
Tommy Armour, Detroit Pro, Cops British Open Honors
BY VIRGIL PINKLEY United Press Staff Correspondent CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, June 5. —Tommy Armour of Detroit won the British open golf championship today with an aggregate score of 296. He scored a par-breaking 71 in his final round. Thus the British open title remained in the United States, where it has been ever since 1923, when A. G. Havers, a Briton, won the championship. Last year it was won by Bobby Jones, who did not defend his honors this year. Armour was one of the early finishers. His score withstood the assault of Jose Jurado of Argentina, and MacDonald Smith of New York, each of whom faltered on his final nine holes. Jurado had the title within easy grasp, but exceeded par considerably on the last nine. Armour had seriously endangered his chances for winning the.title with a 77 in his third round this morning. That left him with an aggregate of 225. five strokes behind Jurado, and two strokes behind Mac Smith. His 71 for the afternoon round equalled the course record set by Mac Smith. Armour is a former United States open champion. He won the title

Indians Trip Toledo; Take on Birds Tonight New Series Starts at Tirbe Park; Thursday’s Finale With Hens Is Won by Corridenites When Koenecke Doubles in Twelfth Round, BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor The Indians filled the role of the come-from-behind beys Thursday and eked out a win over Toledo in twelve innings, 7 to 6. Heretofore it was the habit with the Tribesmen to pile up a lead and gradually lose it, but they finally put over a fooler and fought their way to a tie and on
to victory in the third extra round. The count was sto 0 against the home nine for four stanzas, and it wasn’t until the fifth that John Cooney, Hen Southpaw, was solved for a hit. Leading the Tribe comeback attack was Johnny Riddle with four safeties, including a double and three runs baited in. Bringing the fracas to triumphant conclusion was Leon Koenecke, who slapped a double to left, scoring H. Fitzgerald with one down in the twelfth. Mike Cvengros got credit for the pitching honors and well deserved the laurels, for he worked out ox dangerous holes in the closing innings and disposed of some stalwart Toledo batsmen in the tight spots. Casey Stengel’s Hens left, town with three wins in four starts, but even one game on the right side of the ledger is not to be sneezed at in the Indian camp just at present. It was a daylight game Thursday, the first afternoon entertainment since Sunday, and

tonight the Corridenites will return to the night league when they take on the Columbus Red Birds, the surprise club of the 1931 A. A. race. The struggle tonight will get under way at 8 o’iclock and the gate will be free to women and children. There will be no action at the park
this afternoon, but on Saturday the second series- setto with Columbus will be staged during daylight hours, starting at 3 p. m. Columbus has anew machine, and is fresh from Louisville, where the Champion Colonels were bowled over Thursday. It took an expert accountant to keep the scorebooks straight in that series finale between Indians and Hens. Tlie Hoosiers were desperate to emerge from a slump and the pastimers were shifted and shuffled. At the finish Riddle, the starting catcher, was playing first, McCann had been switched from first to second, Narlesky from third to short, Bedore from second to third, Angley replaced Riddle back of the plate, and H. Fitzgerald relieved R. Fitzgerald in center. Four hui’lers were used, Horne, Hall, Miller and Cvengros. On the Toledo side two flingers, Cooney and Van Gilder, saw service, Jack Smith started at third and closed at first, Werber moved from short to third and Knickerbocker entered the contest in the ninth to perform at short when Wingard was withdrawn from the initial hassock. The Werber lad collected four hits, including a double, and also pilfered third.

Washington Park Chatter
Ray Fitzgerald’s home run In the sixth stanza Thursday was one of the longest in years at Washington park. It was a tremendous drive that soared out near the flag pole and took one short hop over the low fence. Getting runs in the late Innings was like having the old molars extracted on the part of the Indians. They had three men left on base in the seventh and again in the eiglffn. Fifteen Tribe runners were left stranded during the tw-elve rounds. Toledo had seven left. A marvelous diving play by McCann had much to do with saving the home nine in the eleventh. Haas, first up. singled, and J. Smith bunted toward first. The ball escaped Riddle’s glove and went between his legs, but McCann, racing over from second, hit the turf, snared the sphere while skidding and tagged Smith on the leg. Haas reached third on the next out, but was left there. # Berly Horne. Indian starting hurler, cracked up and went out of the race in the fourth. He uncorked a wild pitch with F. Walker on third and dashed in to cover the plate as Riddle chased the ball. Horne and Walker collided and Riddle’s su-ift throw struck Horne on the head and knocked him cold. He was revived with water and smelling salts, but was groggy after regaining his feet and was compelled to leave the game. Hall rere ving. The Indians tied up the contest In the ninth when the Hen Infield went screwy. With one Indian out, and C. Walker on first. Narleskv bounced to -Werber at third and he threw wild trying to force Walker at second. Walker dashed for third and scored when Knickerbocker backed up Muileavy and overthrew the hot corner. Ernie Wingard walked in the third and was caught napping off first. Riddle to McCann, and in the twelfth Werber led off with a single and was erased on a similar play. Angley to Riddle. The winning marker was launched on the way when Howard Fitzgerald doubled after one down in the twelfth. Angley was given an intentional pass and Koenecke dropped one in left off Van Glider for two bases. After Carl Lind batted for Hall in the seventh Russ Miller took up the pitching for the Indians and worked one round, the eighth, retiring the side in order. Miller left the action when H. Fitzgerald batted for him. #

Both the Cardinals and Cubs have demonstrated their superiority over the other western teams m their circuits and have been able to hold their own against the class of the eastern clubs. So far in the second intersectional competition, St. Louis has taken two out of three from New York, while Manager Regers Hornsby and his men have whipped Brooklyn twice while losing once. Pepper Martin’s single after Adams had doubled enabled the Cardinals to increase their lead Thursday by defeating New York, 6 to 5. The Giants had come from behind to tie the score in the eighth inning, but Bill Hallahan, hurling his first complete game of the season, held the New Yorkers at bay in the ninth. Hogan, Giant catcher, had a perfect day at bat with two doubles and a home run in three trips to the plate. Chicago kept pace by turning back Brooklyn, 6 to 4. Cuyler’s home run with Grimm on base in the ninth inning provided the Cubs the winning margin. Wright, who returned to the Brooklyn lineup following an attack of influenza, and Lombardi, rookie catcher, rapped out homers for the Robins, while Hack Wilson got his third of the season. The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated Boston in thirteen innings, 2 to 1, although they were outhit by the Braves, U to 7. Moss held Pittsburgh to four hits until he retired in the ninth. A four run rally in the eighth inning gave the Cincinnati Reds a 5 to 2 victory over Philadelphia. Benge held the Reds safe until the uprising in the eighth. Ogden, who started for the Reds, was forced to retire in the fifth when he collided with Brickell as the latter was attempting to beat out a bunt. George Earnshaw allowed but three hits as he pitched Philadelphia to its third consecutive victory over Chicago, 4 to 1. The Athletics collected nine hits off Tommy Thomas. One of them was a home run by Jimmy Foxx with a mate on base. Washington continued to trample the crippled Detroit Tigers, 5 to 1. It marked the first time this season Alvin Crowder,
