They met today in the thirty-six-hole title match of the thirty-first Hoosier amateur tourney, and the lanky Indianapolis youngster was an odds-on choice with the big gallery. Heinlein went into the final fray In a walk. Bill Ehlers of Terre Haute, his opponent in a thirty-six-hole semi-final match, was the next thing to a push over for Billy. The match ended on the twenty-ninth

BUS PETITION DRAWS IRE OF NORTH-SIDERS Smith Faces Defeat on One of Three Proposed * New Lines. Three bus line petitions of Logan J. Smith were heard by the works board today, and against one of them so many protests were lodged there seemed little chance of its sanction, although the board took the petition under advisement. Smith wanted to run a line from Monument Circle to Capitol avenue and north to Thirty-fourth street and vicinity and return. Representatives from Methodist and St. Vincent's hospital, from the Butler Fairview Civic League and from the park board spoke against the plan. Fifty south side women appeared before the board to urge they grant permission to Smith to operate a line from Monument Circle on Meridian to South street, east to State avenue, and south to Naomi street and return. They said the line would facilitate transportation of children to high schools. The third petition, unheard by the board until later today was for a line east from the Circle to Arsenal aventie and return. The board adopted a resolution for resurfacing of East Georgia street from East to Noble streets, at a cost of $3,476. 19 INNINGS TO TIE By Time* Special SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Aug. 15.

Miller Beats Henry Walter Miller hurled a steady contest for the home nine in the afternoon fray Friday and held the Millers scoreless the last five innings. The visitors got only two hits during the five closing stanzas.

The barrage put down by the Tribe was exploded in quick fashion. McCann singled, Rosenberg doubled, Koenecke walked to fill the sacks, Fitzgerald popped out and Sigafoos delivered in the pinch with a solid triple to deep left center, cleaning the bases. A single by Bedore followed, scoring Sigafoos. In the seventh Goldman walked, McCann sacrificed, Rosenberg flied out and Len Koenecke propelled a circuit drive over the right field fence. Tribe scoring was confined to the two innings. Visitors Score Early McGowan registered the Millers’ first run in the second on his scratch double and Kelly’s single after two down.

In the night struggle more than 7,000 fans were on hand, including 4,532 woman and children admitted free. The paid attendance was 2,576. Home for the Indians and Wilson for the Millers occupied the mound. The Tribe defense chacked in the opening session and Minneapolis scored twice, but Indianapolis came back in its half and a single by Goldman and doubles by McCann and Rosenberg tied the score. The contest see-sawed and was a thriller for the fans, the Indians finally getting out in front to stay by rallying in the seventh. Home gave up six hits and Wilson nine, with errors by both teams figuring in the scoring.
