TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1840

By J. E. O'BRIEN

Divots from the District :

~The wind at Hillcrest was just about as mean as they come... . « Besides carrying the pellets off the fairways, it whipped the awning over the clubhouse veranda, tossed : scorers’ pencils off the table and tried to carry away a couple of officials handling the billowing score cards. . . . Although the sun scarcely was out, only four gentlemen were caught in the rain... . . Tha{ was the last quartet, composed of Bill Hanafee, Pleasant Run; B. J. Mann, Coffin; Walt Feddern, Coffin, and Gene" Blackstone, Coffin. The shower got them on the 18th fairway. . . . Ross Lyons, a Meridian Hills youngster, claimed brother John is the golfer of the family . . . and John proved it by carding a 79 and gathering th on the 11th, 12th and 13th holes. . . . Dick McCreary of Speedway hit his ktride after a bad journey out and came home with sag 35. . «-Major. Don Riley of the Indianapolis Country Club hung up a string of fours on the way in for a 36. . . Just so the boss wouldn't know, at least one fellow played under an’ alias . and confused the officials no end. . , , 2 » » PHIL RENFORTH'S 176 was the result mainly of three birdies on the last four holes. . . . Pete White of Hillctest could boast of his deuces on Nos. 12 and 17. . As usual, Clark Espie showed ths "clubhouse clan what an excellent memory he has by describing in detail virtually every shot he took. : “1 don’t shoot bogies,” Ken Hoy declared. “When I go over par, I really go over.” . Short putts he missed on the last two holes gave Henry Kowal his biggest worry. . . . For a change, Tony Hinkle, Butler's basketball coach, wanted to hold the score down. And point- -a-minute Paul had an 83, too. His foursome, which included Bob. Nipper of Shortridge; Wally Middlesworth, City recreation boss, and Mike Haney of Speedway, may not have had

No- Pit-Stop Carr Wins 0- Mile Cycles. Race

~ Fifteen-year-old Frank ‘Carr is a consistent pumper who believes in no pit stops. And these quali-

ties brought him victory yester-

day in a -10-mile bicycle race at St. Joan ‘of Arc School, 42d and Ruckle Sts. + Prank, who lives at 4220 Ruckle St., beat out Bob Laughlin, another 15-year-old of 3933 Park Ave. Jack Baker, '13, of 4120 -Broadway, was third. s The race, sponsored by the City Recreation Department in co-operation with the Marion County Recreation Department,

was run over a one-fifth mile tri“angular ' course. © Temporary pits were made on the curbsides of the _stieets, the first lap was paced by three non-competitive boys and real crack-ups were numerous. Personal pride, however, was the worst casualty reported, Tommy Kock, 15, of "4230 Park Ave, and Dick Traylor, 15, of 3649 N. Illinois St., originated the idea for the race and served as lap checkers. Neighborhood merchants furnished cdsh awards. Frank carved the biggest part of the melon, taking $2.50 for his victory. :

POLIS TIMES ?

Dodgers and

Red Sox Series-Bound? If 1940 Is Like 1939, Then Such Is the Case

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 25.— One valuable yardstick to

‘| put on the pennant contenders

to determine if they are of championship dimensions is to measure their success against the league’s two weakest clubs. Last season the Yankees and Reds became champions because they were able fo grow fat on the seventh. and eighth place clubs. The Yanks bea} the Athletics and

Browns 37 times. while losing only seven. The Reds slugged the Bees and Phillies 35 times while losing only nine decisions. -

a hot putter, but they had the

best patter. , . . John Wolf, one’

of the hard-hitting youngsters, ‘said he could have broken his putter four or five times. . . . But John should do better than his 84 of yesterday when he gets on his home premises today. . .. ” ” ” STANLEY FEEZLE begged off playing but went around as a spectator. . . . The Purdue delegation didn’t show up. . . . No pay, no play, was the watchword of "Mrs. Paul D. Frame, who handled the $2 collections. . Visiting pros included Massie Miller of Tipton and Chuck Gar- . Jack Carr of Highland, who fired a 74, is the uncle of Paul Carr, the leader. . . There were only three drivers in the Crawfordsville foursome, but the boys did all right. . Clark Young of Hillcrest was unable to play, but he was on hand to wish the other members of his quartet luck. . . E. Cummins of Fortville "admitted the rolling Hillcrest greens had him fooled. . . . G. A. Young of Lafayette, Indiana Golf Association president, came out for a while and promised to be back for today’s play. . The courage award should go to Jack Graham of Hillcrest who wasn’t ashamed to turn in his card of 111. . Several other lads with totals not so hot took the easier way out by tearing up

their scorecards.

The two pace-setting clubs, .the Reds and the Vittmen, are leading in spite of their poor records against the weaker clubs. The Reds’ decline against the also-rans has been surprising.

Phil Rizzuto led the assault with four hits, including a homer, Johnny Lindell allowed the Birds four hits in the second game, which
