Defending Champion Dorothy Ellis of Meridian Hills and Medalist Alice O'Neal of Woodstock set the early .pace today as match play started in the 22d women's state golf tourney. Miss Ellis, Manual school teacher and winner of the last meet in 1942, triumphed handily over Mrs. Robert Laverty of Frankfort, 9 and 7. The defending champion missed chances for birdies on three holes

Miss O'Neal was having better fortune with her woods today than’ in her medal round yesterday. During that trip she called on out-of-state advice from a friend after being unable to find suitable clubs in Indianapolis. Brings New Woods The friend, Tom Carney, professional at Canterberry Country club in Cleveland came down Sunday ' and brought some woods with him that he had been able to obtain there. Yesterday, Carney followed Alice - around the course, checking her play and in the afternoon the two stole away from the state tourney to improve Miss O'Neal's driving at Woodstock club. Her game was improved considerably, Alice confided last night. But the woods were unsatisfactory s0 Miss O'Neal decided to return to. the driving shafts she used when teeing off in yesterday's initial round. Meanwhile Carney, happy in the thought that he had improved

Alice's game, depaited yesterday at 6 p. m. for Cleveland where he was {to be back in time for his pro | duties today. The clubs went back ito Cleveland, too.

Miss Ellis Runnerup

Runner-up honors in yesterday's tournament play went to Dorothy Ellis, who toured the course as Miss O'Neal's partner. The Manual high school teacher, playing on her home course,” was out in 4l—two shots over par. The back nine provided a sorrier tale, though, as the defending champion came home with 45 to tally an 86. . Elizabeth Dunn ‘of Speedway: | former state champion, and Mrs. Calvert - 8horb, South - Bend city champion, tiled for honors in the third spot. Miss Dunn, the power- ! house telephone operator went out in 44 and came back in 45 for an 89. Mrs. Shorb got the right number, too, as she reversed these figures on the.two nines to tally her 89.

Bill Zuber had walked Dickshot and after throwing two wild pitches, walked Tony Cuccinello. Then Zuber slipped in trying to handle Hockett’s dribbler. Also helping to “button up” the race were Louis (Bobo) Newsom, the “turnabout” pitcher of the As, and unsung Ed Klieman of the Indians, who knocked off the leading Tigers and the runner-up Senators in night games.
