MTNTYRE, STONEHOUSE BATTLE FOR OPEN CROWN

Highland Pro Leads Two Strokes at Ninth Rivals Clash in 18-Hole Playoff Today After Leading Big Field at Finish of 72 Holes With 296 Each. BY DICK MILLER Neal Mclntyre, battling Highland pro, displayed his best shots to gain a two-stroke lead over Ralph Stonehouse, young Pleasant Run pro, when the rivals passed the halfway mark of their eighteen-hole playoff for the Indiana open championship at Speedway today. At the end of the regular seventy-two-hole battle Wednesday the two local aces were out in front of the field with 296 each after a stirring finish in which five Hoosier links stars had a chance to gain the crown lost by Jimmy Watson of South Bend. 1930 title holder. Mclntyre toured the first nine today in 36, on over par, his only extra stroke coming on the eighth green. Stonehouse, who set the pace in the tourney from the start, only to weaken on the final trips Wednesday, had a 38 today, getting one birdie, but going two over perfect figures on the third and one over on the seventh.

Mclntyre and Stonehouse halved the first hole in par figures, but the Pleasant Run star sank an 18footer on the green for a birdie 3 on the second while Neal dropped one of equal length to get his par. Stonehouse got into a trap and dubbed a shot on the third, taking a six, while Mclntyre got down in regular figures. Both made stellar approaches to halve the fourth in par 4’s, and they also shared the fifth and sixth in perfect figures. Neal Wins Ninth Stonehouse dubbed another shot on the seventh and was down in five, while Mclntyre played well to again get his par 4. Stonehouse made a spectacular approach after going over the green on the eighth and was down in four while McIntyre was short and two putted for a five. Stonehouse again went over par on the ninth when his tee shot crossed the green and fell into a trap. Mclntyre boosted his lead to two strokes with a par after approaching well from in back of the green. Cards: Par 444 435 443—35 Mclntyre 444 435 453—36 Stonehouse 436 435 544—38 It was a close finish Wednesday. Stonehouse finished first with a 296, and with the other leaders playing steady golf, it appeared his title hopes were doomed. Murray Is Third Mclntyre, Walter Murray of Valparaiso and Johnny Bird of St. John all caught up with him at the thirteenth, but faltered on the final holes. Mclntyre tied the leader, while Murray clinched third place with a 291 to join the two leaders on the three-man Indiana P. G. A. team to go to the national P. G. A. tourney in the east next month. Chuck Garringer, Speedway pro, finished fourth with 298, while Bird, former Wisconsin open champion, was fifth with 299.

At Home With Cards

KENTUCKY, the home of the Derby, fast thoroughbreds and beautiful women, has made another contribution to the commonwealth. It is big league pitching, in which young Paul Derringer of the St. Louis Cardinals promises to bring recognition to the Blue Grass state. Recent averages show Derringer has pitched 127 innings for the Cards, winning thirteen games and losing four. That kind of pitching usually means twenty or more victories in a season, and they say that if the Red Birds didn’t have so many pitchers, young Paul could make it twentyfive. a tt THE lanky, raw-boned Derringer dragged his 200 pounds in the Cards spring camp at Florida in 1928.

Leonard’s return to the ring is not actuated by a love for the game from which he retired. Rather, Benny is a victim of financial depression. The stock market and a career* as owner of a professional hockey team gave Leonard a harder blow than any he received during a career of 200 ring bouts and he now is reported to have little of the $500,000 fortune with which he retired. Leonard, who is 35 years old and weighs 149 pounds, began boxing in 1912. He won the lightweight title from'Freddie Welsh on a knockout in 1917 and defended it successfully for seven years.

Washington Park Chatter

Catcher Riddle of the Indians was Johnny-on-the-spot in the seventh Wednesday night. Connolly was safe on Bedore’s fumble and on Bedore’s bad throw Connolly turned to dash for second. McCann recovered the ball quickly and Connolly made a dive back to first, but Riddle was there on a sprint from the plate and McCann’s toss to the Tribe backstop erased the runner. Horne issued three wide ones to Kloza in the second inning and then fanned the Brewer right fielder. Arthur the Great Shires walked in the same inning, stole second and reached third on Riddle’s overthrow, where he was left. Arthur singled in the eighth and kept going on Fitzgerald's wild throw-in. but was left again. Charlie High “climbed” the scoreboard in the fifth. He backed against the board, leaped and came down with Metzler’s drive. Bedore contributed a dazzling stop on Shires' bid for a hit in the ninth. The ball was well hit and Bedore gloved it as it took a trick hop. Bud Connolly turned in a swift fielding game for Milwaukee and accepted ten Four Left in Tennis Play By United Press SOUTHAMPTON, N.

Tribe Tackles Brewers in Double Bill Today; New Players on Hand

Indians Capture Wednesday Night Game, 4 to 2, and Fans See Well-Pitched Contest, With Breaks Favoring Home Team; Yoter and Campbell Report. BY EDDIE ASH Times Snorts Editor Emmett McCann’s Indians made it two out three over the Brewers under the lights Wednesday night and today were slated for a doubleheader task with the Milwaukee pastimers, with action getting under way at 2 p. m. The series will end Friday night. Fans were entertained with high class pitching by both teams Wednesday as the Tribesmen finished on the long end of a 4 to 2 score. The visitors were held to four hits and the home nine to eight. Berly Horne and Claude Jonnard were the starting hurlers and cut loose with some baffling stuff although both failed to last. Horne struck a wild streak in the eighth and gave way to George Smith, while Jonnard dropped out for a pinch hitter in the same round. Smith put the big check on the Brewer attack.

Breaks frowned on Jonnard and three of the four markers registered against him were unearned. In the fourth with one out Sigafoos doubled and reached third when Tavener fumbled Bedore’s grounder near second. Jonnard tossed out Riddle, Sigafoos holding third, and Horne walked. Goldman walloped a hit by Shires, scoring Sigafoos and Bedore, the Brewer first sacker cuffing the drive just enough to hold it to one cushion. Double Error on Gallic In the fifth after one out Koenecke beat out a roller and Gullic dropped Fitzgerald’s fly and then made a wild throw-in, Koenecke going to third and Fitzgerald to second. It was a double error. Sigafoos was given an intentional pass, filling the bases, and Koenecke scored as Bedore forced Sigafoos. A walk to Fitzgerald, first up in the seventh, developed into an earned run. He was sacrificed along by Sigafoos and scored on Bedore’s single. After holding the enemy to two hits in seven innings, Horne weakened in the eighth. Gullic, first up, hit for one base and Crouch drew a base on balls. Christensen batted for Jonnard and was called out on strikes. Tavener drew a walk, filling the bases. Manager O’Rourke produced in the pinch with a line drive over Goldman, scoring Gullic and Crouch. Smith in Form Horne was derricked and Smith took up the toil. George was right and got Connolly on a fly to Koenecke and Kubek forced Tavener at third. The Brewers were retired in order in the ninth. Against Taylor the Indians collected three hits, but failed to score. Goldman skipped a hopper through Turgeon at third and McCann hit into a double play. High smashed a single through Turgeon and reached third on Koenecke’s single. Connolly tossed out Fitzgerald to end the inning. Elmer Yoter, third sacker, and Arch Campbell, pitcher, obtained from Columbus in a trade for Bill Narlesky and Mike Cvengros, failed to arrive in time to get into uniform. They reported after the game started. Yoter was slated to perform for the Indians in today’s twin bill.

chances without a slip. He went back of second in the fourth and snared McCann’s drive to force Goldman. Tavener came through with a dandv plav on Sigafoos in the second and chucked out the Tribe second sacker. It was on a stop near the keystone bag. Claude Jonnard was difficult to hit, but was wild, walking seven and tossing two wild pitches. He fanned four. Horne walked four, fanned six and threw one wild. THae double by Sigafoos In the fourth was the first hit made against Jonnard. It was a drive to right center that Kloza nearly nailed. Horne sent Metzler to deep center for his long fly in the sixth. The Brewers didn’t think Berly had that much power. Barney Mike Kelly, coach of the Chicago White Sox. was a visitor at the Tribe park Wednesday night. His team had an offday and he hustled to his Indianapolis home for a brief stay. Rogers Hornsby, manager of the Chicago Cubs, and William Veeck.

Fort Breaks With State

Ring Rulers; Both Sides Claim No Co-operation

Asserting the state athletic commission has failed to co-operate with boxing officials at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, Captain J. R. Kennedy, army post matchmaker, announced today he had notified the state group all relations are off. In other words Ft. Harrison has pulled away from state connections and hereafter will not pay the state 10 per cent tax on boxing shows held on the military reservation. Harrison will act independently, Kennedy said, in staging future fistic shows, and the 10 cents and 20 cents extra on tickets will not be charged, beginning next Tuesday. The captain added, however, that the fort will comply with other state laws governing boxing and will give ringside decisions. According to Kennedy the state commission, in session late Wednesday, failed to recognize a contract the fort has with Tracy Cox, local junior lightweight, which contract, according to Kennedy, reads that Cox was to perform at Harrison July 28, Aug. 4 and 18 and twice in September. The army matchmaker said the contract was signed in June. The fort commission further stated that although it has no definite facts upon which to base its opinion, it feels as though ‘‘downtown influence has been used to interfere with scheduled main-go scraps at Harrison.” Kennedy said by this, the fort commission meant that it has scheduled wellknown main-go fighters, onfy to have several of them fail to go through with bouts. Kennedy said the fort commission felt as though the state commission should have attempted to aid the fort in trying to learn what was causing the fighters to ‘‘run out.” thereby causing substitute matches. Because the fort arena is on government property it is not subject to state tax of 10 per cent, but agreed originally to co-operate with the state commission. Members of the fort commission are Captain J.

Robert Wingate, Jacksonville, Fla., defending champion, had 158, while Carl F. Kauffman, Pittsburgh, had 159. Mitchell shot a 148 for medal honors, while Ferrara had 152: The only weakness of the Indianapolis boy’s playing during the two days of qualifying competition was his failure to maintain an advantage of two under par on the first nine holes Tuesday. After shooting 34, he came back in with a4O for 74. He rallied on the second nine Wednesday for a par 36 and another 74 for the day. Although Arthur G. Sato, San Francisco Japanese star who led

Rosenbloom Slaps Out Win Over Slattery in Slow Tilt

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Maxie Rosenbloom again has proved his right to the world’s light heavyweight boxing championship, and unless a more capable contender than Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo can be developed a moratorium on title bouts in the 175-pound division is in order. Rosenbloom’s decisive victory over Slattery in a fifteen-round bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, Wednesday night, effectnfely eliminated the Buffalo battler as a championship contender. The bout unquestionably was one of the poorest ever glorified by “‘world’s championship” billing, and

Gets ‘Home’ INDIANA’S “orphan” golfing event, the annual amateur tourney, will be invited to Hammond for 1932.

Maurice White, W’oodmar Club pro at Hammond, will extend the offer.

SAYS SUPERVISION DENIED Veach Explains Commission Stand on Fort and Cox Contract. James Veach, secretary of the state boxing commission, said today the commission “just couldn’t work" with Ft. Harrison authorities. “The commission and the fort could not agree on certain issues,” Veach said. “It became necessary 7 that either the commission supervise the fights or separate itself from bouts held there.” Veach said it would be necessary for the commission to take some stand on licensing of fighters who appear on fort programs. The commission has power to disqualify fighters, he said. Regarding the contract between Tracy Cox and the fort, Veach said it was not made on contract forms required by the commission, and hence was not valid in the eyes of the commission.
