WOMEN'S GOLF TITLE IS KEPT BY MISS DUNN

Telephone Operator Defeats Harriett Randall, 2 and 1, for Crown.

SEVENTH IN 11 YEARS

Victory Today Is Fourth Straight for Local ‘Links Ace.

BY PAUL BOXELL

Miss Elizabeth Dunn, perennial links queen from Highland, achieved her seventh Indiana state women’s championship in 11 years of competition and her fourth consecutive title by defeating Miss HarNett Randall of Hillcrest, 2 and 1, in titular match at the Indianapolis Country Club today. In winning, Miss Dunn re-enacted the 1935 scene at Fort Wayne where she defegted Miss Randall, 3 and 2. The veteran champ scored her victory on. the homeward nine, after getting off to a slow start on the outward course. Heér putting was erratic on the opening nine, and the 18-year-old Butler University co-ed held her even at the turning point. Heading into the back course, Miss _ Dunn steadied and showed flashes ~ of her old form by starting with birdie 4s on the tenth and eleventh holes, while Miss Randall was getting a 5 and 6 respectively. The margin was cut to 1-up on the twelfth when the champion erred on a three-foot putt. The Butler co-ed was.on the green in 3 and down in. 2 for a 5. The 2-up margin was regained

when Miss Randall missed a short |

putt to take a 4 on the next hole while Miss Dunn sank a three-foot-er for a par 3. Miss Randall drew back into the running by posting a birdie 4 on the fourteenth. The challenger’s third shot, a high approach, dropped three feet from the pin, Miss Dunn was 15 feet from the cup and she needed two putts to hole out. : They halved the fifteenth in par 4, then Miss Dunn made the match dormie on the 150-yard sixteenth. Her drive was 12 feet from the hole and she sank her putt for a birdie 2. Miss Randall was short of the green ‘dnd took s par 3. The victory was sealed on the sev.enteenth when ‘Miss. Dunn. - fired straight down the long fairway and onto the green in three ey and Miss Randall was on in four swings, (Turn to Page 24)

After Mrs. Ethel McCracken testified, Circuit Judge Earl R. :Cox, acting as special’ judge, said: “I don’t know as I blame this mother.” The daughter, Cracken McClary, was named as the fourth passenger in the car from which" stones” allegedly were thrown at the Penny truck.

Only a few scattered showers in the extreme northern fringe of the drought ‘district will relieve the blistering heat that has taken at least

4200"lives and caused more than -$600,000,000 damage to crops, Forecaster J. R. Lloyd of the Chicago Weather Bureau reported. It was the start of the third week of intense heat in the furnace-like Dakotas where government relief programs have put thousands of drought-stricken farmers to work. “There will be no rain in the north central states except in eastern North Dakota, northern Min‘nesota, western upper Michigan, and extreme northern Wisconsin,” Lloyd said. The temporary relief of cool air from Canada dropped the death rate ffom nearly 1000 a day early this week to some 200 yesterday. Wisconsin, Michigan, “Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky felt the effects.
