RECORD FIELD EXPECTED IN STATE WOMEN’S GOLF PLAY

i7O Feminine Stars Paired for Opening fcist May Reach 100 Before Qualifying Round Monday at Avalon: Mrs. Bulson, Champion, in First Threesome. BY DICK MILLER Sixty nine advance entries for the tenth annual Indiana Women’s Golf Association state championship tournament next week were grouped into threesomes Friday night for the qualifying round of eighteen holes to be played Monday at Avalon Country Club. In announcing the names of the players and the time they leave the first tee, Mrs. Harrison Bennett, secretary, said entries will be received today, Sunday and right up to the last minute at the first tee. With nearly seventy entries on hand three days before the tournament, indications point to a smashing new record field. Several prominent state players failed to get in the advance entry and are expected to sign up soon. Late rush of Indianapolis women probably will send the list well over the 100 mark. t

Talking It Over BY SOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 18.—In response to a steel engraved invitation to attend a baroecue, I went out to Mickey Walker’s training camp Wednesday where the toy bulldog is getting in shape for his fight with Jack Sharkey next week, and I will say that the place was a treat for sore eyes and parched throats. I mean it was a throw back to the old days when champions were champions, when the Police Gazette was the boxers' Bible and the sheriff ol the county was a much more Important citizen than a Yale professor or a Wall Street millionaire. There was an old time atmosphere about the place that suggested woodcuts, ironhats, surreptitious arenas and side bets. Sitting out there in the sun under leafy boughs watching the squatty little Irishman go through his routine of swings and scowls, his face unshaven and smeared with oils, you felt somehow that the shades of Sullivan and Dixon and Gans couldn’t be far away. It was obviously a show. It was obvjously, too, an attempt Ut Inject anew kind of old virility into a sport that has become softened up and atrophied under the unnatural influence of the better element. Altogether. I think It was a grand gesture and I know of no persons, aside from Almee Semple McPherson or Billy Sunday, who could have staged such a revival with better effect than the two gents who did, namely. Dr. Jack Kearns and Mr. James j. Johnston, a couple of come-on artists of superior skill. Prom the moment you arrived until the moment vou left the whole scene was one of loose formality, catch-as-catch-can sociability and general all around hilarity. There was nobodv ol anv great social or civic importance on the premises, and very few who did not seem to have an intimate interest in the fighter or his man“S bo sure there was a scattering of office holders. Including a Florida mayor who simulated an official hauteur and whose hand shake was reminiscent of fish in the flesh but these persons by contrast merely served to emphasize the gay. reckless spirit of the camp—a spirit which seemed to say. "hero is a fighter getting ready to light another fighter. If he wins all right and if he loses, who cares"? I. imagine what I am trying to say is that there is a camp where no exaggerated values are placed on the business or the principals, where there are no Illusions of superior position, where a left hook is a left hook and nothing more. To the old Colonel it was a refreshing relief and for the first time In years I experienced a reborn sentiment for this peculiar species of sports whose future seems definitely to lie In its return to a happy, carefree, dissolute past. u tt a IT was a delight, for instance, to hear Dr. Kearns speak in no mincing terms about the manifold deficiencies of Sharkey. There was no attemtp to be nasty-nice. Dr. Kearns simply stated that in his opinion Sharkey was a rat. a mug. a nogood gee and that his man Walker would make him Jump right out of the ring. "In lact,'* added Dr. Kearns. "I am not at all sure that the bum will have courage enough to show up." Os course, all of this Is strictly the hooey, but it is so different from the artificially-polished gents who go in for fluff and guff that It is grand to hear. And Walker himself is attuned to the same swashbuckling key. He does not call himself a boxer, but a fighter. His Is not a profession, but a racket. To him. Sharkey Is not an opponent, but "Just another guy to take care of.” When I called he was lying down reading a book. "Don’t get me wrong.” he pleaded. "This Is hot stuff.” The title of the book was "A Passionate Rebel.” Walker had read only a few pages. There was something about the title that interested him. Walker will be outweighed by thirty pounds the night he steps Into the ring against Sharkey. For all the build up the glib Dr. Kearns has given him In the public prints, he Is still a middleweight. Yet he strikes you as supremely confident. "Say I've trained for this fight, and when I train I can whip anybody,' he says. Generally speaking Walker never trains. By his own admission he has trained for only two other fights in he past five years —the fight with Milligan in London and the fight with Hudklns in Chicago. “I had to train for this one.” he explains. "Sharkey is a big fellow, and I need the dough." Dr. Kearns Insists the difference In weights will mean nothing. "It would mean something,” he admits. "If Mick was fighting a good fighter, but who is Sharkey? The doctor stands In a corner with his chin hanging over the top rope, while Walker goes through his paces. He doesn't look like the same doctor that had Dempsey. He has grown gray around the temples and a middle-age sedateness has moved in to replace his old cockiness and Insouciance. I thought he looked a little sauintlng through the sun at his fighter, weary and forlorn as he stood up there but that may have been the heat. ATLANTA BUYS CATCHER Catcher John C. O'Connell has been purchased by the Atlanta club of the Southern League from Baltimore of the International to replace Chick Autry, who has been placed on the Cracker's suspended list until he recovers from a recent injury.

Sharkey in Fighting Trim Despite Unfavorable ‘Ballyhoo’

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent POMPTON LAKES. N. J., July 18.—For the benefit of the credulous, It should be recorded that reports emanating from Jack Sharkey’s training camp during the past week have been utterly false and were nothing more nor less than “ballyhoo’’ for Sharkey’s bout against Mickey Walker at Brooklyn next Wednesday. • Instead of being ’ hog fat,” disinterested in his ring future, and

Evidently bi g Tom Angley, the Tribe’s heav y - weight catcher, shine and heat. The former Georgia grid star took a big liking to pitching as demonstrated by Min n e a polis fli’ngers and as a result his batting average has soared to the remarkable figure of .418. Four out of seven was the record he turned in Friday, including a home run and double. Asa result, Angley is far out in front of the A. A. hitting race and several big league scouts are following him around.

Big Leagues

BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 18.—Wesley Ferrell, Cleveland’s no-run, no-hit artist, has devised a simple means of winning ball games. When his good right arm isn’t enough to bring him victory, he uses both arms and the combination usually enables him to turn the trick. Ferrell put his scheme to work Friday and it brought the Indians a 2 to 1 victory over the New York Yankees. He allowed the Yankees only three hits, two of them by Babe Ruth, and his own home run brought him the margin of victory. The Indians' ace took matters in his own hands in the seventh inning. One of the hits he had allowed was Babe Ruth’s twenty-third home run and from the way Herb Pennock was bearing down with men on bases it looked as if the run Cleveland scored in the fourth inning was about all the fooling the Yankee southpaw was going to allow. So with one man out Ferrell poled one into the left field bleachers. It was his fifth circuit blow of the season, and that is a pretty good mark for any pitcher. The defeat, the third the Yankees suffered in the three-game series, dropped them five and one-half gamess behind the Washington Senators, who continued their apparently hopless pursuit of the Philadelphia Athletics with a 12 to 7 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The Senators had a busy day, crashing out twen-ty-one hits, but it availed them nothing more than victory for Philadelphia beat Detroit, 6 to 3. to retain it's seven-game lead in the race for the American League pennant. Lefty Grove registered his nineteenth victory ol the season in holding the Tigers at bay. He allowed nine hits, but the Tigers made most of them alter the A’s had piled up a big lead off George Uhle. St. Louis defeated Boston 6 to 2 in the other American League game. The New York Giants went back into second place in the National League standings by defeating the Chicago Cubs. 7 to 6. to register their lone victory In the fourgame series. The defeat dropped the Cubs to third place, a half game behind the Giants and six contests behind St. Louia, The Cardinals dropped a 4 to 1 decision to Brooklyn as Lefty O’Doul continued his batting streak with a double and three singles in four times at bat. The Dodgers touched Flint Rhem for twelve hits wnile Luaue and Quinn held the St. Louis sluggers in check. Red Lucas allowed only five hits in pitching Cincinnati to a 5 to 0 victory over the Boston Braves, while in the other National League game Philadelphia defeated Pittsburgh. 4 to 1, as Jim Elliott, Brooklyn cast-off. registered his thirteenth victory of the season.

Two Tank Marks Fall By United Press NEW YORK, July 18.—With three world’s records already broken, the 1931 national A. A. U. women’s swimming and diving champions will come to a close tonight. Miss Helene Hadison of Seattle, Wash., will defend her 880-yard free style title in one of tonight’s events. The other will be the 220-yard breast stroke.

Sharkey publicity and the strong “build up” for Walker, the general public now concedes Mickey a real chance of victory. Rated strictly on the records, Walker would be no better than a 20 to 1 shot against Sharkey. Sharkey will have a 35-pound pull in the weights, with Walker unlikely to scale more than 165 pounds. Sharkey is at his best against a man he is confident he can whip and he is positive that he can beat Walker.

Battle for Turf Title

Twenty Grand, Mate Clash in $70,000 Race Before 50,000 Fans.

By United Press

CHICAGO, July 18.—Another thrilling drama of the turf was promised today when Twenty Grand and Mate meet in the $70,000 added Arlington classic for the undisputed 3-year-old championship over a mile and a quarter route. Five other horses were entered in the world’s richest race for 3-year-olds, but it will be one of the biggest upsets in racing history *if Twenty Grand or Mate doesn’t triumph. Mate, owned and trained by A. C. Bostwick, has defeated Twenty Grand twice —in the Walden stakes as a juvenile and in the Preakness in May—but the heavy money was riding on the Greentree ace today and he was an odds-on favorite to spread-eagle the field. Coupled with his stablemate, St. Brideaux, in the betting, Twenty Grand opened at 4-5. Mate was quoted at in the morning line and Spanish Play, Louisiana and Latonia Derby winner, third choice at 6-1. A crowd of more than 50,000 was expected to witness the third running of the classic, which will have a gross value of $86,200 and pay the winner $73,650. Post time was scheduled for 3:15 central standard time.

JULY 18,1931

The sixth struggle of the series was carded this afternoon, after which the Indians will move over to St. Paul to tackle the leagueleading Saints. In the five cotnests staged since the Hoosiers invaded Minneapolis they have annexed four and have just about got the Miller pitching staff saying "uncle.” Hildebrand and Marty Griffin operated on the Tribe mound in the opener Friday, the latter receiving credit for the victory, and in the nightcap Walter Miller went the route coasting. Walter’s mates gave him a huge lead to work on right at the start by scoring five times in the first stanza. Ray Fitzgerald and Curt Walker both hit two home runs in the closing fracas and it was a walkaway for the Indians.

And the fans didn’t like it. They stormed the ring in a near-riot. Jim won after a little more than an hour of grunting, but scores of those present thought he used a strangle hold. After Londos offered to shake hands with him Dusek landed an uppercut to the jaw which sent the champion spinning into the ropes. Then the battle between the crowd and police started.
