‘Kentucky Girl Is Best U. S. Hope to Win
Mrs. Crews Plays Southern Newcomer in Other Semi-Final.
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent
SUMMIT, N. J, Oct. 2.—It's up to a pair of Southern youngsters or a New Jersey veteran to prevent the
American women’s goif title from making its first trip across the Atlantic Ocean in 23 years. One of the Dixie girls, 22-year-old Marion Miley of Lexington, Ky. gets a chance to keep the trophy at home today. If she fails, one of the other Americans will be called upon to defend the championship tomorrow against red-haired Pam Barton, British champion. Never in Semi-Finals Miss Miley faces Miss Barton in an 18-hole semi-final match of the
fortieth national tournament at the |
Canoe Brook Country Club. In the other match, 29-year-old Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., meets Kathryn Hemphill of Columbia, S. C. ‘Miss Miley never before has reached the semi-final round of the tournament. Neither has Miss Barton. Mrs. Crews, who learned her game in New Jersey, twice has been close to titles. In 1927 she went to the finals only to lose to Mrs. Miriam Burns Horn. In 1933, she lost to Helen Hicks in the semi-finals. Miss Hemphill is the surprise of the current tournament. She never before has been a factor in the nationals, but has been recognized as one of the South's first unheralded players. Defeats Mrs. Donner
Only once have both the American gnd British titles been won by the same player. when Dorothy Campbell of Scotland turned the trick. Of the three Americans, Miss Miley seems to have the best chance of stopping Miss Barton. She advanced yesterday with a crushing 5-and-4 victory over Mrs. Carl Donner of Springfield, N. J. In her three other matches in this tournament, Miss Miley has won all but one match before the nineteenth green. Mrs. Crews was favored to advance over Miss Hemphill today. The young Southern star was forced to 19 holes before triumphing yesterday over Mrs. William E. Shepherd of Beverly Hills, Cal. Miss Hemphill whipped Mrs. Opal S. Hill, Kansas City veteran, 3 and 2, yesterday, while Miss Barton Spfeaied Beatrice Barrett of Minneapolis, 4 and 3. Today's winners meet tomorrow pver the 36-hole route for the title.

Williams, diminutive left halfback; Hendershott, a hard-plunging fullback, and a stout forward wall, which includes 310-pound Tubby Baker and 280-pound Franklin Oliphant, were some of the factors on which Cardinal supporters based their hopes of victory. today. Coach A. BE. Pitcher sent the big red and white team into the fray at full strength.

Coach Harry Painter of Manual slashed his squad to 24 players this week and drilled the two dozen performers intensively in preparation for today’s contest. Several new

Another outstanding combat listed on the week-end schedule was the Shortridge-Cathedral game slated for this afternoon at the Butler Bowl. In the last nine games between these two traditional rivals, Shortridge has won four games, Cathedral three, and two others ended in scoreless ties. Coach Joe Dienhart’s Cathedral eleven was a slight favorite in the contest in view of its performance in two previous games this season. The Irish swamped Shelbyville, 57 to 0, and tied a strong Male High of Louisville team, 12 to 12. The Blue Devils, in their only start, suffered a bad case of “fumblitis” and bowed to Southport, 14 to 7. Injuries and sickness also have reduced “the strength of the Shortridge eleven, Coach Bob Nipper reported. ; Has Veteran Team An all-senior eleven averaging: 154 pounds was to represent Washington High School in its game with Shelbyville on the Continentals’ field.

Wet? Well I Guess So
You Can’t Baffle Judge Landis on Muddy
Fields.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 2—I missed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Napoleon's decision to leave: Moscow, Julius Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon, and Woodrow Wilson's 1917 request that the United States enter the war. But this was partially, if not completely made up for, yesterday when I was fortunate enough to be on hand when Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis announced that the second game of the World Series between the Yankees and the Giants was postponed because of wet grounds.
Slowly and Simply
There were three of us with him —Joe McCarthy, manager of the Yankees; Travis Jackson, third baseman and field captain of the Giants, and myself. And I'll never forget that moment when, standing deep in the outfield, the sharp wind tossing his great shock of white hair until it resembled a wave breaking on a beach, the Judge drew himself erect and said, slowly and simply: “There’ll be no game Yodlay! No,

there won't be any game. It's too wet.” Any man but the judge might have been fooled by the weather; might have failed to notice the sodden condition of the Polo Grounds. But Landis investigated the stadium with a thoroughness that bespoke his long. experience on the bench. He never once doubted but what the diamond was wet, from the moment he stepped into an ankle deép puddie back of first base, until he slipped on a field of mud while giving the third base line his undivided attention: But—and I'll never forget the man’s thoughtfulness—Landis didn't attempt to deprive us of sharing the thrill of calling off a World Series
game. : : Standing in “Lake”
He not only asked the three of us if we didn’t think the ground was wet, but if it wasn’t awfully wet.
Now, he didn’t have to do that, be- |
cause he was up to his pants cuff in a small lake at the time of the question, and knew perfectly well that it was. I was so: flattered when he Hatred to me, and with his piercing eyes piercing through his shaggy eyebrows, asked if I didn't think it was mighty wet, that I barely was able to reply. “It sure is good and wet, Judge,” I managed to stammer, “I'd say it was mighty durn wet.” “Good!” He replied, his piercing eyes still piercing. “Good. You're right. It is wet. Wet as can be.” Then, pulling his feet from a muddy patch, he questioned McCarthy along the same lines. The judge is thorough. Any other man might have taken the fact that his overcoat was soaking, and his feet wringing, as proof positive. But not the Judge. JSMecCarthy, does it strike you as
