GOLF

By TOM OCHILTREE

HERE may be some high school golfers who have trouble concentrating on algebra or Cicero's ancient ad libbings, but they seem able to drop this deficiency when they are on the links. Further proof of this fact was offered today when Chuck Garringer, Speedway course professional, announced that the annual Indiana High {School Athletic Association golf tournament would be held on the

Play According to Code

PEAKING on a program arranged by the women of Highland Golf and Country Club, Mrs. J. BE. Neff, South Bend, chairman of the Women's Western Golf Asso-

11 years, said good sportsmanship required a golfer to play accordihg to the game's code. She criticized golfers who “played with a chip on their shoulders and made constant protests,” but explained that it was not poor sportsmanship to require your opponent to live up to the rules. The program was held yesterday morning and afternoon in the Banner-Whitehill auditorium,

NONSENSUS seems to be that Elizabeth Dunn, defending state champion, and Harriett Randall, runnerup, will not be affected adversely by the new decision to change the final match of the Indiana Women's Golf Association tournament this year from 18 to 36 holes. Most followers of the game believe that a consistently good player is less subject to a fluke upset over the longer route. The state tourney is to be held at Hillcrest Country Club the week of July 17, while the girls’ state championship will be held a few weeks earlier on the Erskine Park course, South Bend. Miss Randall, who also is the city women's champion, will defend

GREENVILLE, N. C., April 13 (U. P.) —Frankie Hayes’ homer in the 10th inning saved the day for the Philadelphia Atheltics to give them a 14-13 victory over their fellow Pennsylvanians, the Williamsport Grays of the Eastern League.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. April 13 (U. P.)~It will be Cliff Melton for the Giants against Mel Harder for the Indians in today’s resumption of the New York-Cl¥veland exhibition series. The Giants went one up in their six-year spring competition with the Indians by winning a 12-8 siugfest in 10 innings yesterday. It was their 35th win to 34 for the Tribe.

PORTSMOUTH, O., April 13 (U. P) —The Cincinnati Reds joined the Detroit Tigers today for the first of four games that will end the training season for both clubs. The Reds lost to the Boston Red Sox, 17-14 yesterday. The Tigers cracked out a 10-6 win over the Atlanta Crackers. Johnny Vander Meer and Paul Derringer will pitch for the Reds today.

OWENSBORO, Ky., April 13 (U. P.) ~The Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates wind up their spring road series here today. Bill Dietrich and Thornton Lee will be the Sox hurlers.
