SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

WRITING in the magazine Golfing, H. B. Martin points out that golf tournaments and golf itself -has changed a lot in the last few years, especially among the

pros who follow the winter and summer circuits.

The boys do not lose sight of the fact that golf is their living and that these open tournaments for important money are just as much an attraction as ever—but there are other things to think about. : : The tournament player who is not interested in some hobby on the side is a lonely sort of chap... The pros have begun to realize that thinking too much about. the game is really not so good. . . . Many an all-the-year-around tournament player has. gone stale - because there was nothing else on his mind but golf. : Too much golf on one’s mind is just about the worst thing that can happen. . .. It is just as bad as too little golf, which would be terrible. - Now the pros enjoy the winter jaunts because they can get together and let their hair down, relax and have a good time swapping fish stories or tall yarns about the northern woods, big game hunting, bridge and poker, and farming. All this is being done now and it has made a great difference in the way the boys are scoring in championships. Bobby Jones-loved to fish and hunt, but when he was playing important tournaments he carried a chess set with him which was his real diversion. . . . Most of the stars can be included among tpe fishermen but all of them are not experts. :

Latshaw Transfers to the Brewers

LOOK WHO'S BACK in the American Association! . . . None other than Bob Latshaw, -the Indianapolis Indians’ former first sacker. . . . He has been transferred from the Toronto -Maple Leafs to the Milwaukee Brewers . . . and probably welcomes the change. . . .. Bob hits an occasional long ball and the Milwaukee fences are not too far away. > The Chicago Cubs certainly are going all-out for Charlie Grimm's Brewers and have already sent five pldyers . . . Billy Myers, shortstop; Lou Novikoff, outfielder; Al Todd, catcher (from Montreal); Barney Olsen, outfielder (from Nashville), and Latshaw. Latshaw was picked off the California sandlots by the Indians several years ago and looked the part of a coming star. . . . He always threatened to go places but got to striking out too often for a first baseman and early last season he was shipped to Montreal. . . . But he looks like a good investment for the Brewers.

THERE WILL BE no more Sunday night ball games at Perry Stadium, the management announced today. : . . Sabbath night baseball was tried a couple of weeks ago as an experiment and it was a floperoo at the turnstiles. ; Future Sunday ball here will be the afternoon variety, two games for the price of one admission, first game at 1:30. . . . And with Daylight Saving Time in effect, all night games at the Tribe park will begin at 8:30. r The Indians will come in off the road Saturday and Toledo will furnish the visiting attraction. . . = It has been designated as Indianapolis Power and Light Night and the Ipalco band will be there to provide music before the game. . . . It also will be a free night for members of the Knothole Gang. . . . The Toledo series here calls for three games, with a bargain attraction on Sunday.

Veterans Settle {935 Golf Obligations

AS THE LAST official act of his administration, Charles L. Hopkins, department commander, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of Indiana, turned over to the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce for payment to various creditors, certified checks in payment of indebtedness incurred in the ill-fated V: F. W. golf tournament held here in 1935. This money has been collected from various posts in the department throughout the state, and was in charge of a committee composed of Earl S. Passwaiter, Clay Ryman, Roy Sprinkle and Clarence Null, all of these men being members of Hoosier Post 624, Indianapolis. According to W. H. Chadwick, department adjutant, tliere may be one or two outstanding golf obligations yet to be liquidated, but the money is on hand to take care of the situation. The annual encampment of Indiana's V. F. W. convened at Michigan City today to continue through Sunday. = CO va.

Victory Over Mrs. R. Laycock

Two Finalists Meet Early Tomorrow

By J. E. O'BRIEN . Dorothy Ellis of Meridian Hills continued her match toward the women’s city golf championship today by scoring a fancy, 5 and 4, victory over Mrs. Robert Laycock of

match of the annual tournament at the Indianapolis

Country Club.

Along with her went Mrs. Charles Greathouse of Woodstock, who defeated Mrs. George Enos of the Indianapolis Country Club, 1 up in 21 holes. They will meet for the championship shortly after breakfast tomorrow.

With a No. 2 Iron!

G. D. Quinn, local dentist, teed off on the No. 8 hole of the Martinsville golf course yesterday with a No. 2 iron and the ball traveled the 200yard distance and stopped in “the hole. ~ It\was Quinn’s first hole-in-one. He was playing with Ed M. Leashy and H. Norwood ‘Sallee of Indianapolis,

After leading three up at the end of nine holes, Miss Ellis shot five straight pars and was able to win three holes with these. Sharpshooting by Mrs. Laycock on the 415-yard tenth hole gave her a birdie four, the, only hole she won on the back nine. Continuing the round after winning the match Miss Ellis marked up a medal 76, one-over-par and the best total reporteds in the tournament, Mrs. Greathouse had a chance to finish her match with Mrs. Enos on the 18th green, but she missed a short putt to halve the hole. Recovering nicely after a bad start, Mrs. Greathouse won both the 10th and 11th tests after which Mrs. Enos took the 13th with a bogey four. Then Mrs. Greathouse ran down a 25-foot putt to halve No. 15, and she evened the match by play(Continued on Page 25)

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 26. —There were many reluctant admissions here today that when it comes to propelling a college shell ver a given stretch of water the boys of the West just can't be matched. - : The guests and hosts of the 44th Poughkeepsie Regatta were left with the painful memory of another Eastern rout yesterday. Out of the entire carnival there was only one thing about which the natives could cheer—that the towering sons of the Pacific Coast hadn't’ hauled away the bridges, the buoys and the City Hall as well as the silver. The blunt truth is that they took just about everything else. In the varsity flight it was Washington and California. In the freshman competition it was Cornell and Wis-

sight. The Far-westerners graciously didn’t bring along their yearling crews. The story of the race for the varsity trophy is simply told and best told by Al Ulbrickson, the man who fashioned the winning galley slaves into the smooth, powerful unit they proved to be. “This is probably as great a crew as I've ever been fortunate enough

to handle,” he modestly explained after his bronzed huskies had swept over four miles of the mirror-like Hudson River to their fourth regatta triumph in six years. “I'm proud of the boys and proud of the capable manner in which they worked. Don’t ever think California wasn’t tough.” Ulbrickson stopped there but the oldsters who have watched boats come and go in this sweltering river hamlet since before Rip Van Winkle
