Tribe in Twin Bill With Blues; MelLanghiin Wins

. Fred Gronauer Si Second at First Counting With 152; Bernard rd Burch Is Third

Low Marks Expected From Verioniays Leaders as Almost Perfect Weather Conditions Pre- | vail at Highland. : J BULLETIN

Clayton Nichols finished his second round late this morning with a 77, making his total for two founds 150. Mike Pollak was in with a

76, two round total of 151. Wayne Montfort had the same total, finishing his second round today in 75 strokes.

John Simpson, high-flying Washington, Ind., golfer, who is playing under the Bloomington banner, took an early lead in the Indianapolis

District tournament at Highland today with a second round of 75, making |

him a 150 for the first two rounds.

Johnny had to get back to the & green, then chipped in for the par.

office early today so he was out with the birds this morning and “rushed” through the course in a little less than two ‘hours. Strangely, Simpson made exactly the same score as to nine-hole aggregates, as he did yesterday, which the experts claim is an example of a consistent brand of golf not often seen in tourney play. Gronauer Is Close

* Freddie Gronauer, the hard-hit-ting Pleasant Run boy, was out in 35 this. morning, but got lost some place on the back nine and came in with a 41, making his second round score the same as his first, 76. This put Fred in second place in the very early listing. His two-round total is 152. Bernard Burch, a Sarah Shank kcourse entry, improved upon his 79 of yesterday, to creep into the early third place stall with a 75, which ‘'yave him a total of 154. { with little wind to swerve high Fives or pitch shots, the field today aced opportunities of lowering their first round scores and finishing fast in the final round tomorrow. Just like the stories, Leonard Oliver, Sarah Shank entry, came in late yesterday over Hillcrest’s silky greens, knocking in putts from all corners for the 69, two under par, that dropped Bob Hobbs, Country Club, and his par round into second ploce. Tied for| third with 73s were Clayton Nichols, South Grove, who Jed until late in the afternoon, and Bill Reed Jr. from Coffin. One shot, behind them are Dick McCreary, Country Club, Phil Talbot; Bloomington, who has twice been runnerup in this event. » Out in Par

Oliver was out in par 36 with a birdie on six and a bogey on nine. He birdied 10 and 15 on the back nine and played the rest in perfect fgures for his 33. Twelve shots behind and with more than 40 players topping his 81, Max Buell, present district champion, is in a tough spot to repeat. The final 18 will be played at Broadmoor tomorrow. Dick Collins, starter, counted 215 entries in yesterday’s field and nearly all are expected to complete the three rounds. . THe last foursomes holed out in the dusk yesterday. Two 76s in the first round belong to Wayne Montfort, ex-Tech team captain, and long-hitting Fred Gronauer of Pleasant Run. Phil Renforth, Fortville, Paul Carr, Hillcrest, and Ben Cohee, Meridian Hills, had 77.

~~ The Hillcrest bulldog grabbed Tony Hinkle’s approach on 18. . , . It was retrieved and replaced. . . Just as somebody was trying for a mean putt to close out a good round a noisy race would start in the swimming pool. . . . Didn't seem to worry the putters, however. . . . Bill Reed seemed headed for a par round on the 15th tee. . . . He was even par. .. . But his drive caught the trap and was so hidden in a deep footprint that he had to play out safe and sideways to the fairway. ... It cost him a shot and then he lost another on each of the next two holes and was three over: . . . Then calmly bunted down a 25-footer for a bird on 18. . Johnny McGuire played perfect golf for eight holes. Then began to scramble. Was in two traps on nine, barely got out of the second short of the

. And on 10 his drive hit a tree, his second was poor, but he again got his par. ... Then his sins overtook him and he dropped 'six strokes to par on the next three holes.

Eaton Dark Horse

A dark, dark horse is this Ed Eaton—just finished a premedic course at I. U. ... He tuned up for the District by playing all three courses in par or better, we hear. .. . Watch Gronauer. . .. He had a lot of putts yesterday. . . . If he cures that today and tomorrow he’ll be close. . . . John David hits the ball a huge way from the tee. . . . But he wasn’t so straight yesterday. . . If we had to pick a winner at this point we would pass. . . . It’s wide open. . . . All right, if you insist. . . . How about Talbot or Reed? ... Or Simpson? . . . John, not Sam. . . Sam had trouble yesterday . . . in the 80s. ... And Oliver’s lead makes him hard to catch. ... He's a threehandicap man and he’s pretty low in’ the net division, also. . . . The boys won't find better greens anywhere, but the Hillcrest fairways can’t quite touch the watered turf at Highland. . . .

2 ” ” And while the men were doing and dying at Hillcrest the ladies were interclub matching at Broadmoor. The Meridian Hills team won, 10-8; the Hillcrest sextet beat Broadmoor, 1312-412, and Pleasant Run took the I. C. C.-Woodstock team, 1112-612.

‘High Hurdles Capture At Berkele

June 15.—The high hurdles event of the National

Collegiate track and field championships drew chief interest today as scores of youngsters invaded Edwards Field for advance workouts. The meet 1s scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

The high sticks event will bring together Forrest Towns, Olympic champion from Georgia, and his arch rival, Robert Osgood of Michigan. Towns has a record of 34 hurdle races won in a row, including a performance in the Southeastern Conference meet where his time was 14.3 seconds. He arrived Monday and did several turns around the oval for sports writers. Osgood arrived with a delegation rom Michigan a short time later. Other arrivals included Bobby Packard and Maurice Green of Georgia Tech; Harry Waugh and George Kuhl of Tulane; Charles

Beetham, Mel Albritton and Bob Walker of Ohio State; Bob Feiler |

of Drake: Peacock of Temple; Rice of Notre Dame and Halcrow of Chicago. Judged by past performance of the entries, few of the 14 records of this premier college meet were safe. Nine N.C. A. A. record holders and 12 OQiympic champions were entered.

The pole vault mark was threatened seriously. A special standard was constructed to let Bill Sefton and Earl Meadows of University of Southern California try to raise the record mark above 15 feet.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 15.—The vastly improved Indianapolis Ine

| dians faced a double-header tonight at 8:15 in the next step in the cure | rent series with the Blues, after dropping the locals, 5-2, yesterday.

Vance Page and Red Phillips are scheduled to take over the Tribe

| mound duties in the two games tonight.

The Indians won last night's game &—

| with a complete set of unearned

runs. On the other hand, they presented the nome town boys with their only two tallies, in the fourth inning. Pat McLaughlin, pitching careful ball, was the winning pitcher while the Kansas City defeat was chalked up against Beryl Richmond. The last inning was pitched by John Niggeling. The Indians, playing alertly, took hold in the third inning when the Blues’ battery loosened up and allowed the Tribe to gain a 2-0 lead. It started with Buck Fausetf’s hit, which bounced off home plate to Richmond, the pitcher. Richmond was too slow and Fausett beat out the grounder. Kahle Gets On Kahle’s single to left field followed and then McLaughlin ’sacrificed, advancing both Fausett and Kahle. On a wild pitch, Fausett scored. Then Hartje threw over Richmond's head and Kahle came in. The Blues tied the score in the fourth with their two unearned runs after Berger's triple in the first half of the inning went without aid. Archie singled in the seventh inning to start the rally which won the game. He stale second and crossed the plate when Oglesby erred on a grounder from Taylor. Taylor's single, an error and Riddles onebagger, brought in he Tribe's other two runs in the last inning. Collect 13 Hits

In spite of the cluster of unearned runs the galloping Indians were entitled to the victory. They continued their heavy hitting and smashed out 13 blows and pilfered two bases. McLaughlin held the Blues to six safeties -and fanned { four. It was the Tribe's 13th victory on the current road trip. The
