Quarterfinals.

Fred Gronauer, Pleasant Run, and John David, Purdue University star of the Hillcrest links, will tee off in the feature match of the quarterfinals of the Indianapolis amateur golf tournament at the Sarah Shank course next Saturday afternoon. Gronauver defeated Bud Owens, South Grove, 4 and 3, and Bob Yohier, also of Pleasant Run, 1 up, in second and third round matches respectively yesterday. David won from Fred Wuelfing, Pleasant Run, by forfeit, and Leonard Oliver, Sarah Shank, 4 and 3. Second round play was at Riverside and third round at South Grove.

Other quarterfinalists include! Bernie Bray, Coffin, vs. George Petersen, Coffin; Mike Pollak, Coffin, vs. Paui Gentry, South Grove; Ralph Jordan, Riverside, vs. Ray Jones, Coffin. In yesterday's matches one favorite fell by the wayside. Bill Reed Jr, tourney medalist, was upset in the second round at Riverside when he failed to keep up the pace set by Oliver. Oliver was four under par on the out nine, collecting four birdies on the second, fourth, fifth | and sixth holes. On the in nine | he shot par golf and Reed tried | gamely to catch up but failed. Oliver birdied the 18th to win the match. Second Round Scores

Other second round results: Bob Yohler defeated S. Tomlinson, 7 and 5; Bernie Bray won from F. Wright, J and 8; Bob Carlsen defeated J. Reilly, 2 and 1; George Petersen | won from Marvin Heckman, 6 and | 5; Clayton Nichols defeated IL. Wisenberg, 3 and 2; Mike Pollak triumphed over Harold Erner, 2 and 1; Orval Peters defeated Ed Mooney, 6 and 4; Clark Espie won from M. Oakley, 6 and 5; Paul Gentry de- | feated Carl Smith, 1 up; Ralph Jor- | dan won from R. Grimes, 4 and 3: Joe Doll defeated Bob Crouch, 4 and 3; C. Lawrence won from E. Davis, 7 and 6; and Ray Jones defeated Al Dowd, 1 up. In defeating Yohler, Gronauer took the measure of the linksman who nosed him out of a trip to San Francisco with this year’s public Jinks team. Although Gronauer led 4 up at the turn, he lost the 10th, 12th, 13th and picked up on the 15th. He won by a 1-up margin after halving the last three holes.

Third round results were: J. David defeated L. Oliver 4 and 3: Bray defeated Carlsen 4 and 3; Petersen won over Nichols, 1 up; Pollak defeated Peters 8 and 7; Gentry de-

Registration for classes begins Sept. 14, with the first class scheduled for Sept. 16, which gives tne Irish mentor less than a week of twice-daily drills in which to prepare his squad for one of the stiffcet nine-game schedules ever attempted by a Notre Dame team. Whlie not too optimistic in view of such a schedule, Layden said that prospects compare favorab.v with those at this time last season, when the Irish won six, lost two and tied one. The presence of at least one ietterman at every position has given the Notre Dame outlook a slightly rosy tinge.

Season Closes Sept. 12

This is the next-to-the-last week of the A. A. season, the closing date falling on Sunday, Sept. 12. The Indians’ final home game will be with Louisville Labor Day night. St. Paul's Saints made a sweep of

the three week-end games over the

Redskins and copped their farewell series in Indianapolis by a 3-to-1 margin. Italiv Chelini outpitched Vance Fage and Don French to win, 3 to 2, Saturday night. On the Sabbath, Art Herring snatched a 10-inning first tilt, 6 to 4, and Johnny Welch annexed the seven-inning second encounter, 4 to 2. The Saints landed on Crandall for four hits and two runs in the tenth stanza to salt away the honors in the afternoon lid-lifter. Warner singled, Boken sacrificed and successive singles after two down by Norman, Todt and Coscarart sewed up the contest. Warner paced the Saints’ assault on Johnson and Crandall with three blows and McCulloch was a thorn to the Hoosiers in center field with eight putouts. Phil Todt saved the game for Herring when he stabbed Taylor's line drive and completed an unassisted double play to retire the side in the ninth. Had the ball escaped it would have gone for an easy double and the winning run would have scored from second. Two Tribe errors accounted for two St. Paul markers. Young Riddle on Mound The nightcap was held to seven innings by the 6 o'clock Sunday law and the Saints stored that one away with a two-run rally in the sixth. Elmer Riddle, rookie righthander, opposed Welch. A walk, two hits and a long fly got the Saints two runs in the second inning. In the sixth Steinbacher singled after one out, tallied on

Brown Bomber Is Qutweighed For Title Go

Joe Weighs 197; Farr 2041/,; Only Downpour to Cause Another Delay.

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 30. — Tommy Farr of Wales, the challen« ger, held slight advantage over Joe Louis, the champion, when they weighed in today for their postponed heavyweight title fight scheduled for tonight in Yankee Stadium. Farr weighed 204'2 and Louis 197. Promoter Mike Jacobs said that “only a heavy downpour between now and the time they enter the ring will force another postponement.” Heavy skies appeared.to be clear ing when the fighters weighed in for the second time in four days. Louis was one pound lighter than he was on Thursday, the original date for the fight. Farr had brought hime self down from 207. Shortly after noon the sun was {rying to break through a heavy haze which hung over the city. The humidity was high but there had been no rain for several hours. The Weather Bureau's latest fore cast was: “Partly cloudy with occa= sional showers tonight and Tuese day.” Bomber Favored, 7 to 1 Louis, making his first defense of the title he won from Jimmy Braddock in Chicago in June, continued to rule a heavy favorite at odds ranging up to 7 to 1. Jacobs predicted the gate would reach $300,000 and that it “would be much higher if we had some real sunshine today.” A $300,000 gate would mean that Louis would collect about $100,000, Farr was guaranteed $60,000. After the weigh-in, Louis went to the home of a friend. He planned to eat a heavy meal at 3 o'clock and then sleep until a few hours before the fight. Farr went to a hoe tel near the Yankee Stadium. Louis More Nervous Jacobs later said that if the weather should be threatening dure ing the preliminaries the main bout would be advanced to 9:15 p. m, BE. D. 'T. (7:15 p. m. Indianapolis Time) from 10 p. m, Dr. William H, Walker, who exe amined the fighters, said they both were in fine shape He said Louis was the more nervous of the two but that Joe wasn't as nervous as he was on Thursday. Farr again was remarkably calm. The gash on Farr’'s right cheek, suffered in training, was healed completely and there remained only a slight scar. A crowd eof 1500 milled about out side the building to get a look at the fighters.
