It is said Bush and McKinney are saying it with cash and are hot on the trail of an experienced southpaw pitcher, a veteran infielder and a capable outfielder.

Carl Gossman, Columbus, with an 80 yesterday, traveled the first nine today in one over par, taking a bogey on the 179-yard eighth. Because of the lateness of players in reporting, foursomes were sent out today as soon as four players reported to the starter. Play got under way at 7:40 a. m. today and the late foursomes hoped there wouldn't be a repetition of last night's play in darkness. It was 9 p. m. when the last of the players came home. ,They lighted matches on the greens to find their way, but even so, none of the scores for the back nine were unusually high. Blake toured the first nine yesterday four over the 35 par, but came home in 34, one under par for the route. Five top contenders for the crown were right back of Blake with 74s.

Walker Scores Another Kayo
CHICAGO, June 13 (U. P.).— Mickey Walker scored another “knockout” today. His painting, “December Masquerade,” was exhibited by the No-Jury Society of Artists in a Chicago department store gallery. The price on the canvas was $1500—not hay, but far below the split Walker once received as welter and middleweight boxing champion. A matronly art lover viewed the painting with mixed emotions. “It knocks me out,” she said.

CHICAGO, June 13 (U.

Pep wants Joyce to weigh in at 134 pounds, while Joyce contends that it weakens him to go below 135. Joyce weighed 138 when he fought Armstrong. The bout will be held at either Wrigley field or Comiskey park on

Lindquist Due Saturday Carl Lindquist, the pitcher obtained from the Boston Braves, Is due to join the Indians in Indianapolis on Saturday. He is a righthander.

Kelly also was notified today that Infielder Mike Sebana will report to the Indians in Indianapolis Saturday. The Braves recalled the player from Hartford and assigned him to the Tribesters.
