It’s just a practice session, but these Indianapolis Firemen ball players are pretty serious about t whole thing. They're looking ahead to their Indiana-Ohio League double-header Sunday with the Gold Medal Beers at Perry Stadium. Sliding into home is Babe Lawrie, first baseman, while the catcher is William Wyss. Barmey Harsin of Engine House 13 can’t decide whether Babe is safe or out.

ORE serious golf will be shot around here next week by players of both genders than there has been so

far this season, but an overlapping of events makes the

situation a little confusing for galleryites. On Monday the women’s city championship gets under way at Meridian Hills Country Club with an 18-hole quali- _ fying round, while the same day 37 state professionals will compete at Highland Country Club in attempts to qualify for places in the starting field of the National P. G. A. tournament. By Thursday when Clark Espie of Pleasant Run and John David of Hillcrest meet at Highland in 18 holes of medal play to settle the Indianapolis district championship issue, the ladies’ events will be approaching a climax stage. A field of between 80 to 100 feminine golfers is expected for the City event in which Miss Harriett Randall of Hillcrest is cast in the role of defending champion. » = = J 2 2 V=2¢ much on in her playing, the task of taking Miss Randall's title away from her appears to be a large order. Mrs. Freeman P. Davis, of Highland who was runnerup to Miss Randall last year, will not play this time, but Miss Carolyn Varin, a sorority sister of the

champion, and Miss Dorothy Ellis, former city and state titleholder, can be counted on for some excellent golf.

A prize is to be given for the low medal score in Monday's 18-hole

Vialiyiw, and after this first round the entries will compete in match play.

Mrs. Walter Brant, Indianapolis Women's Golf Association president, said that pairings would be completed sometime today. There are expected to be enough entries for eight flights with 16 players in the championship flight and eight in each of the other seven.

Wooderson Set for Test

PRINCETON, N. J.. June 18 (U. P.)—Sydney Wooderson, the mite from London who holds the mile record, took his customary long walk today to conclude training for his test against America’s best milers in the Princeton invitation track meet tomorrow. Wooderson and his coach, Albert Hill are convinced a 4:03 mile is possible, but neither would predict a record-breaking performance tomorrow. The field will include Glenn Cunningham, Chuck Fenske, Archie San Romani, and Blaine Rideout, but none of them is anxious to set the pace that will push the winner to a record. All apparently want to gamble their stretch kick with Wooderson's, which is supposed to be the best in the business.

Hagen Still Is a Sight

Without Practice, Shoots 69, Has 5000 Watching Him.

By HENRY M'LEMORE . United Press Staff Correspondent TOLEDO, O., June 16.—Honestly, the man is unbelievable. In his way he ranks along with the Grand Canyon, the leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Sphinx as sights to behold. Walter Hagen, I mean. It was in 1911, mind you, 28 years hago, that Hagen played in his first golf tournament. Taft was President when Hagen first went out to the golfing wars, and most of his present-day rivals had yet to be born into this world. Yet, only yesterday, Walter began his ten-thousandth or so tournament, and how do you think he started? Like a man crowding that 50-year mark? Like a man willing to rest on the laurels of 55 major tournaments won? Hardly. Over the tough course of the Inverness Country Club, with a stiff wind increasing the hazards, and faced by the hottest pack of golfers in the country, Hagen started—birdie—par—birdie—birdie.

Around in 69 He was just around in 69 on his own stick, and had he been ziven any help by his partner, Gene Sarazen, would have taken the lead in the Inverness four ball invitation tournament with a victory over Horton Smith and Harry Cooper, a pair of better-than-fair hackers. Hagen accomplished this 69 with no practice. Until he stepped on the first tee, with 5000 customers watching him, he hadn’t been on a golf course for 11 days. I'll take it back—Hagen did have a little practice before he shot his 60. Alone, he slipped off behind a barn near the course and hit a few shots. “I thought I'd better see if I could hit the fool ball before I went out ‘before all the people,” Hagen said later. Gallery Is All His He took most of the gallery with him when, silk-shirted, hair slicked back, he strutted vainly down the first fairway. He gave the crowd a tremendous show, as he always does, acknowledging applause with gestures worthy of a Cyrano, and keeping up a running fire of conversation with the spectators. After one drive his ball fell close to Cooper's. He had a good lie, Cooper a bad one. With eyes twinkling, he turned to Harry and said: “My boy, you must learn to live right if you want to get good lies.

e. {That has been my motto ever since r | I started.”

Back in the locker room, it was Hagen's bench that was crowded. He knew everyone and everyone knew him, The tremendous popularity of Hagen, after all these years, is shown by the first request of golf tournament sponsors. The man they want, first of all, is Walter, the ol’ Haig, the mightiest fairway warrior of them all.
