17-YEAR-OLD GIRL UPSETS STATE CHAMPION IN GOLF PLAY

Miss English Downs Mrs. Bnlson, 3 and 1 Three-Year Reign of Ft. Wayne Star Temporarily Broken by Lafayette Girl in Quarter-Finals: Miss Gustafson Triumphs Over Geraldine King. Miss Elizabeth Dunn, rity champion, advanced to the semi-finals In state women’s golf play today, defeating Miss Elizabeth Abbott of Avalon, tourney medalist, 1 up In twenty holes.

BY DIC K MILLER A brilliant young star, Alice Bell English, playing championship golf,, today put an end for at least a year to the reign of Mrs. A. E. Bulson, Ft. Wayne, as Indiana’s golfing queen. Since 1923, Mrs. Bulson has ruled the Hoosier feminine club wielders, but her putter, usually her strongest weapon, failed her today at Avalon and she saw her game crumble. Miss English, 17-year-old West Lafayette girl, swept to a sensational triumph, staging a comeback that was matched by a desperate uphill fight by the champion. The final count was 3 up and 1 to play for the scheduled eighteen holes. Miss English took the heart out of the champion on the first three holes, when she dropped long putts and a fifteen-foot approach shot to go three up at the start. She increased this to five up at the seventh green and held the same edge at the turn. She continued her brilliant play to go six up on the tenth. Wins Five Holes Then Mrs. Bulson apparently regained her championship form while the youngster cracked, and the titleholder won five holes in a row. Miss English ran into trouble in traps and the rough. Going to the sixteenth tee, the young challenger held a 1 up lead. The champion missed a three-foot putt on the sixteenth green that would have squared the match and Miss English won the hole. Miss English drove 228 yards on the seventeenth hole to be Just four feet short of the pin from the tee. Miss Bulson was short, and after approaching, took two putts for a four while Miss English was down in an easy three to win, 3 up and 1 to play. Miss Gustafson Wins Miss English has been playing golf for five years but was unable to enter the state tournament until last year, when she became 16 on June 1. She failed to qualify at Hammond last year. Miss English graduated from high school last year and will enter Purdue this fall. Miss Dorothy Gustafson. 18-year-old South Bend star, will oppose Miss English in Wednesday’s upper bracket semi-final contest. Miss Gustafson today eliminated Miss Geraldine King of Wabash, another girl golfer, 4 up and 3 to play. Miss Gustafson was out in 40, one over women’s par, but was only 1 up over her battling opponent. Coming home she played near par golf while Miss King encountered difficulty in traps. Mrs. Patten Victor Mrs. J. C. Patten of Indianapolis Country Club was the first to qualify for the semi-finals in the lower bracket, defeating Mrs. C. A. Jaqua, another local player, 3 up and 2 to play. Miss Patten ras playing in fine form. Miss Elizabeth i" f ?e timecity champion, waged a bitter battle with her local rival. Miss Elizabeth Abbott, tourney medalist, in the final contest.

o‘Doul Bats at .697 Clip iii Series With Cards and Cubs

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. July 22. Prank (Lefty) O’Doul’s spectacular return to batting form supplied the answer today to the Brooklyn Robins midseason drive in the National League pennant race. When the Robins came west, O’Doul. who had batted .398 and .383 the past two years, was hitting around .300, but in the last eight games against the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs he has batted at a .697 clip. Although Brooklyn trailea St. Louis today by six games, O'Doul’s deadly hitting apparently has put new life into the Robins and they departed for Pittsburgh Tuesday night after a four-game series with the Cubs looking very much like the league's best ball club. O'Doul has hit safely in twentythree out of thirty-three times at bat in the last eight games in the west. He collected eleven hits in seventeen times at bat against the Cubs, and was the big factor in the Robins’ three victories over Hornsby's team. Against the Cardinals, O'Doul registered twelve hits in sixteen times at bat, including two perfect days at the plate, with four hits in spur times up. The Robins gave pitchers Jim Elliott and Clise Dudley and outfleld*'r Hal Lee and cash for O’Doul and •esco Thompson, second baseman, .o the close of last season. Manager Robinson thought O'Doul would give the Rebins' the batting punch to win the pennant, but it was O’Doul'* early slump which was partly responsible for their slow etart. v - It was O'Doul's batting that gave ;&rook]yn a 4-to-3 victory over Chi-

By Times Special ST. PAUL, July 22.—Diamond fans in the home of the league-leading Saints gave three cheers today. The battling Hoosiers had left town. The hardy pastimers of Emmett McCann “took” the Apostles for three out of four and wound up the series Tuesday by slaughtering the A. A. pace setters, 11 to 3. Russ Miller, righthander, went the route on the Tribe mound and kept nine hits. scattered, whereas the battling Hoosiers staged two “big inning” splurges, scoring seven runs in the first stanza and four in the sixth.

The Saints barely escaped a whitewashing in the series, taking one game, 6 to 5, in the second half of Sunday’s twin bill. All other tilts were lopsided victories for the Indians. Asa result the Tribesmen left the Twin Cities with seven wins in ten starts, for they knocked over the Millers for four in six before invading St. Paul. Two Off Days Pilot McCann led his athletes cut of here Tuesday night, headed for Indianapolis. Today’s scheduled contest was played in the doubleheader Sunday, and Thursday is open, giving the Indians two holidays in a row. Their next appearance will be in Indianapolis Friday night against the Louisville Colonels. Lexington park customers were shocked and double shocked in the first game Tuesday as the Hoosiers leaped away with a seven-rur. barrage. A triple by Angley and a home rim by Ray Fitzgerald were the highlights of the astounding rally. Slim Harriss was driven to i cover and he was relieved by Prud- : homme, who got by until the sixth ■ before the men of McCann aam- ; aged him for four markers. HarI riss was touched for five hits in I two-thirds of an inning, and durj ing the remainder of the way the Tribesmen picked up nine more blows off Prudhomme, giving the winners a total of fourteen safeties. Tom Boosts Average Tom Angley, Tribe catcher and ! leading swatter of the league, gave ' Iris average another boost by poling ; three hits in four times up, driving :in four runs. He was batting at ! a clip of .422 today. Curt Walker ; also got three out of four Tuesday ! and Ray Fitzgerald’s home run and | single were good for three runs 1 batted in.

Sharkey-Walker Affair May Be ‘Hot* or Just Another Ring Flop

It All Depends on Tactics of Boston Gob, the Favorite. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 22.—One of those bouts in which anything or nothing may happen will be set before the customers at Ebbets field in Brooklyn tonight when Jack Sharkey of Boston takes on Mickey Walker, one-time middleweight champion, over a fifteen-round route. If both Sharkey and Walker live up to their pre-battle promises, the bout is likely to prove the most every-man-for-himself sort of thing since Firpo and Dempsey exchanged pleasantries in Yankee stadium quite a few years ago. Sharkey, modest to a fault, says he expects to do nothing more harmful to Mickey than knock his head off. Mickey, equally modest, says he will be satisfied if he knocks the one-time sailor bowlegged. If the boys do go out there with no other purpose than to win by a knockout the fight is certain to be worth anybody’s money. But if Sharkey, with his superior weight, reach and height, elects to be cautious and is satisfied merely to peck out a decision then the bout will depend upon Walker’s attempts to break through Sharkey’s guard for its interest. Sharkey was a 2 to 1 favorite, and will enter the ring no less than thirty-five pounds heavier than Walker. CHUCK KLEIN INJURED By Times Special ST. LOUIS, July 22—Chuck Klein.

From the standpoint of action the fistic program at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night met with the approval of the majority of customers. In the main go the ringsiders saw ten rounds of swift movement and Jackie Purvis, welterweight pride of Kokomo, finished on the short end. His opponent, Jack Brady, of Detroit and Syracuse, treated the fans to high class glove art and Purvis absorbed much punishment. Realizing he was being outboxed and out-charged, Purvis tried for a knockout and still was swinging at the end, but Brady had a style the Hoosier failed to fathorr. The visitor

used a crushing left and kept boring in. In the semi-windup of eight rounds Willard Brown, Indianapolis junior welter, gained the decision of the judges over Jimmy Neal. Cincinnati, but Brown was compelled to run in the late rounds to protect an early lead. The Times believed Neal deserved a shade or least a draw. A threat of a rainstorm before the show held down attendance, but the card drew fair enough under the circumstances. There was a light shower during one round of the second scrap. Results of prelims: Pat Murphy, protege of Bud Taylor, knocked out Dutch Baiting of Morristown in the third round. The Danville (111.) lightweight connected with a left hook flush to the chin as Baiting was charging and Dutch was knocked cold and quivering. The defeated lad put up a game fight while he lasted. Young Zimmerman, Mt. Carmel (111.) featherweight, and Roy Nidy, Terre Haute, mixed in six furious rounds. It was a whale of a fight and the Judges ruled It a draw. The Times figured Zimmerman was entitled to a snaue. Kid Slaughter. Terre Haute Negro, flattened the Alabama Kid in the first round by attacking in the manner of a battleship. The Hoosier colored middleweight had too many guns. Frank J'osenstein and Bud Leibisch clashed in the four-round opener and the judges called it a draw. The Times thought Rosenstein deserved a shade. He was the aggressor.

Good Little Man Vs. Good Big Man —Good Trick If It Works. BY JOE WILLIAMS Sports Editor. New York World-Telerram. NEW YORK, Juiy 22—They are going to stage the battle of the good men over at Ebbets field tonight—the good little man and the good big man. Mickey Mouse Walker is going to spot Jack Sharkey, the crying need of boxing, thirty pounds or thereabouts in a fifteen-round match and try to make him quit. It’s a good trick even if he doesn't do it. Nobody seems to know why the match vas made and what it will prove, if anything. Theoretically, its chief appeal lies in the novelty of a middleweight swinging punches at a heavyweight. A more desirable novelty would be a fight between big fellows which gave the customers a legitimate chance to cheer. This doesn't happen very often, aud it happens even less often when Sharkey Is in one of the cornets. You cart usually count on him to do the wrong thing at the right time. Still they say the is a limit to everything, including heat, waves and depressions, and it may be that tonight the eccentric young man from Boston will show you something. Certainly if he can't produce a real fight against a middleweight he ought to hang up his gloves, and take nt crooning u tt a YOUR correspondent is one of those under-dog fiends and for that reason he would like to see Mickey Mouse Walker win. I think you have to concede him some sort of chance. Against Sharkey anybody has a chance, because if you do not whip him there Is always a very good possibility that he will whip himself. I understand that in centuries gon* by there were a number of good littia men who made a practice of going around the country smacking down good big men. and that at one time the condition became so wide spread and vicious that a six footer wouldn’t dare go out in publie without a body guard of Singer Midgets Some of the most stirring fiction of th ring has been woven around the exploits of fellows like Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Walcott. Stanley Ketchel and Jack Dillon, battlers of comparatively light poundage who subscribed to the maxim that the bigger they are the more they remind you of Farmer Lodge. In the present instance, of course, it may be that the boys are covering a little too much territory. For one thing there are a lot of people who will tell you there aren't two good men In the ring, big or little. Perhaps it would be closer to the fact to say that Walker used to be a good little man and that Sharkey ought to be a good big man. SHARKEY will go Into the fight with all the material advantages. He has height, weight and reach, condition and youth, plus the blessings of the boxing commission, a circumstance which means that) none of his opponent’s relatives or close friends will be in there doing the judging or refereeing. The fellow is right when he ear# h< ought_to be a 20-to-l shot. On paper It looks like that kind of a match. Another thing to consider, if you are so disposed, is that Sharkey is always a savage bloodthirsty brute against an opponent who doesn't figure to hurt him—and In this I don’t suppose he is much different from the rest.
