Only one member of the recently selected five-man local j team that will compete in the naI tional tournament in Pittsburgh the 1 lath r part of the month is repreI sent* and.

TjrOT weather bass fishing brings. problems that must be considered and overcome if you want fresh meat along with your exercise. 17le bronzebacks have stopped charging about after food at all hours of the day and are gettmg particular about working hours and conditions. In well-fished waters they have seen any number of attractive lures by this time and probably can tell you the hook size on your bucktail or the poundage test of your casting line. When the sun beats down on the low waters they prefer the cool depths and shady recesses of sunken weed-beds, and while they may lazily follow your lure to the boat, it's hard to provoke a solid strike. If your time on the water is limited and you must angle in the middle of the day. ask the natives to direct you to spring holes. That s where the big ones pass the sunny hours. Live bait is your best bet in the spring holes. Lower the minnows, worms, grasshoppers, helgamites, .-oft craws or what have you right down to them, it may be thirty feet, but they'll be there. Now and then bass lie in the shade oi big lily pads in shallower water. Drop a light lure on the pad and leave it for a few seconds before you twitch it off. But if you really want to get action in the hot months, fish at i night, the natural feeding time for all game fish. We'll have more on that subject later.

Bobby dale, above, mite of a golfer at the Indianapolis Coffin golf course, who wears the crown of state junior champion, opened defense of his crown today on the West Lafayette Country Club links. The little pastimer, a qualifier in the Indianapolis public links championship, forfeited his match
Spence Deal, Coffin. 3 and 2; George Petersen, Coffin, defeated Charles Boswell, Coffin, 1 up; Ed Dorsett, South Grove, defeated Arthur Lockwood Jr., Pleasant Run, 1 up. In the first round Saturday at Sarah Shank other results were; Hilligoss won from Bill Russell, Speedway, by default; Petersen defeated Bernie Bray, Coffin, 2 up; Heckman defeated Tony Petrie, Pleasant Run, by default; Espie defeated Ed Urich, Coffin, 3 and 2; Dorsett defeated Dot Lynch, Coffin, 6 and 5; Hansen defeated Richard Kell, Coffin, 1 up; Carl Smith, defeated John Crawford, South Grove, 5 and 4, and Bobby Dale, the state junior champion, forfeited to Charlie Lawrence. tt tt tt YOUNG REED, who began liis tournament golf while still a grade school student at No. 66 in the annual Indianapolis Times interscholastic tournament and won the championship of that event in 1932. played marvelous golf over the week-end. Tackling Mitchell, who is Indianapolis district champion on the latter’s home course, South Grove, the young star lost the first hole when he went over par, but he came right back with a birdie to even the count ->n the second green, and when Mitchell slipped over par on the third hole, Bill.v went one up. Sinking a fifty-yard niblick shot for an eagle 3 on the sixth hole enabled the young star to go 2 up and he held that lead at the turn. He was out in 36, even par, while Mitchell had 39. The youngster not only tenaciously held on to tiiat lead but increased it one more when he scored a birde on No. 11. a short hole, and another birdie on the par four No. 12 hole. u z tt MITCHELL tried a comeback, taking the next hole when Reed presented an opening by going over par, and the big South Grove star fired a birdie on the No. 14 to cut the lead to 2 up. and after the fifteenth was halved in pars Mitchell made his final bid with a birdie on No. 16 to win that. With his lead cut to one hole theyoung star matched pars with Mitchell on the last two holes. He played smart golf on the last hole, playing “safe” for a par, although presented with a chance for a birdie. All the glory does not go to the young Reed, however, because so well did his father play Sunday afternoon at South Grove that had they been playing together the elder Reed would have won by a margin of 1 up, comparison of their cards reveals.
SOMETHING like this may hap-: pen to you some day and how i would you like people to laugh and say "yes. yes” in a soothing manner! and sorrowfully tap their headsj when you left? Be charitable. This story was told me by a gen- j tlerran who swears it's true and he's surely been around a newspaper office long* enough to know he can't j kid the help, and anyhow we won't give him credit for enough imagination to make it up out of whole cloth. Here's the tale. Two boys were fishing in Big Barbee lake last Friday. near the channel that leads to Little Barbee. A large crane was doing some angling of his own a short distance a\vay in some lily pads. As the boys watched, the cran*' caught a small fish and swallowed it. A bit later they heard a thrashing and splashing and saw the bird had caught a large fish and was struggling to hold it. Finally getting a secure grip on the fish, the crane took off with laborious wing-beats. The bird's course led over the boy's boat and one of them picked up a broken beer bottle and heaved it at the feathered angler. His aim was true, the missile struck the crane and the surprised bird dropped the fish directly into •he boat, where it was seized by the ooys. The fish was a large mouth bass, weight three ounces less than three pounds. Did I hear a snicker? Here are the boy s names if you want to question them. Albert Christy of 622 West Taylor street. Kokomo, and Ray Elliott of 938 North Bosart avenue, Indianapolis.

Sloane Horse Becomes 1934 King of Turf Arlington Victory Increases Cavalcade's Winnings to $126,965. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Vnited Tress Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 16—Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane, wealthy sportswoman,; bought him at a Saratoga (N. Y.) | auction as a yearling for $1,200. Smiling Bob Smith, 66. and wise ; in the way of horses, trained him. j Uncle Mack Garner, 34, and also I wise in the way of horses, rode him. That's the triumvirate which j brought Cavalcade to the 3-vear-old j championship of the American turf. | But Cavalcade had to do the run- J ning, and turf critics today praised his victory in Saturday's Arlington | classic as his greatest feat of the I year. He was away last and dared the - other eight to outrun him as he j trailed the field They tn,*d, but j none could stave off that ir agnifi- J cent finish which enabled h m to | run the mile and a quar er in j 2:02 4-5. only a second off the /.rack j record held by OP Sun Beau, and I finish four lengths ahead of his shadow, Discovery Hadagal W’as third and Riskulus fourth.
His Sixth Triumph The classic victory gave Cavalcade six triumphs in seven starts this season and the undisputed 3-year-old title, the first since Gallant Fox held the honor in 1930. His stablemate, High Quest, beat him a neck in the mile and three-sixteenths Preakness—a defeat which prevents Calvacade from having a perfect 3-year-old record. Trainer Smith was undecided today about sending Calvacade against older horses. There is a slight possibility that Cavalcade may start in the Arlington handicap next Saturday against Ladysman, Equipoise’s conqueror, and Indian Runner, winner of the Stars and Stripes. Present plans, however, are for Cavalcade to make his next start at Saratoga. By adding the classic to his victories in two races at Havre Do Grace, the Kentucky, American and Detroit derbies, Cavalcade increased his earnings for the year to slll,235. The classic prize was $30,325. Cavalcade's total earnings are $126,965. Trainer Comments The inevitable comparison with Man O’ War, America's immortal racehorse, has brought this comment from trainer Smith: “I don’t know whether Cavalcade is as good -as Man O’ War, but he is the next thing to him if he's not.” That means that Trainer Smith at least believes Cavalcade is a greater colt than Reigh Count, Gallant Fox, Twenty Grand, Zev, Crusader, and some of the other champions of the past. The throng of 30.000 at Arlington Park Saturday thought highly of Cavalcade, backing him down to 1-3. A $6 bet across the boards on Cavalcade brought only $1.04 profit, with a winning ticket paying $2.74, a place ticket $2.16 and a show ticket $2.14. GARFIELD EVENS SCORE Local Swim Club Defeats Shelbyville in Return Alatch. The Garfield Park Aquatic Club toppled the invading Shelbyville swim team, 86 to 34, at the Garfield pool Saturday. The feature race of the meet was the fifty-yard freestyle for boys at 100 pounds, and after a close contest Mathews of Garfield edged out Murphy of Shelbyville by a stroke. It was a return meet, Shelbyville having won a previous tussle.

‘Abigail’ Takes all Glory In Barthelmess’ Movie
COME right over and meet Abigail, a white-haired elderly spinster, who knows that * romance isn't dead. You'll find Abigail in Damon Runyons “Midnight Alibi” which has the starring services of Richard Barthelmess. All the movie folks have to do to get me unusually interested is to announce that another Runyon-authored story
is on view. You recall that he wrote “A Lady For A Day,” which was a pip of a yarn about mother love. Runyon has an unusually well developed sense of human comedy. He is able to place his comedy stamp not only in the spoken lines, but also in situations. His characters are always h u m an
and interesting. The characters in “Midnight Alibi” are no exception to the rule as “The Old Doll” (the street gossips’ description of the rich and retiring Abigail), steps out of the picture and becomes a person you would love to meet. She is an aristocrat and perfectly played by Miss Lowell, ~ legitimate actress with only three screen play?< to her credit. Her work in this one will make her one of the most sought after women in screenland. In fact, she is my latest film “sweetheart.” Barthelmess is cast as -i gambler and former head of a big city gambling syndicate who is “eased” out of control by his rival, Angie, played by Robert Barrat. Os course. Cupid gets busy and Lance (Barthelmess) falls in love with Joan, sister of Angie. Angie uses a revolver to stress his objection to Joan’s and Lance’s romance. It is in the development of the romance that Abigail becomes the deciding factor. No, I’m not going to ruin your enjoyment by telling you any more about this one. Just come over and meet Abigail. You'll love her. Now at the tt a a A Nifty Farce KISS AND MAKE UP” turns out to be nifty farce with just enough pep and dash injected to keep the story moving. In this light little story, Gary Grant is cast as a beauty specialist who makes women more beautiful, but absolutely of Genevieve Tobin so beautiful that he falls in love with her and, desiring to always be • / near her “crcator,” she agrees to divorce her |r*i' husband (Edward fj j" !- j* Everett Horton), # who understood only too well how Helen Mack worthless beautiful women are. The fun starts when Grant gets Genevieve on his hands as his wife. He is shocked silly when he discovers that when his wife retires at night, she is so made up to be beautiful the next day
