this year it probably will have to be in spite of him. Borowy, rapidly becoming the league's No. 1 problem pitcher, has been a study in paradoxes, ever since he became the center of one of last year’s most baffling deals, his transfer from the New York Yankees to the Cubs via waivers.

Phail of the Yankees defended his action by stating that Borowy couldn't win after July 4, because he was a “spring pitcher.” Borowy promptly disproved that theory by winning 11 games and losing two [with the Cubs. Without his help {they couldn't have staved off the Cards’ late pennant bid,

TIPTON, Ind, June 11.—A quartet headed by Hal Langdon, professional at the Elks Country

{club of Richmond, produced a best!

{ball of 65 to win yesterday's proamateur golf tournament at the Tipton municipal course. Playing with Langdon were Mike Pollak of Indianapolis, and Ray Cox and John Roseberry of Tipton. Three teams deadlocked second place with scores of 866. These were led by the following pros: John Nélson of Anderson, Harry Jacobson of Indianapolis’ and Dick Kei] of Indianapolis. Twentytwo teams toured the course during /the tourney.

his ring exploits and his travels and showing them the famous punches that enabled him to defend his {heavyweight championship success[fully 10 times.

{

Jack Johnson made several personal appearances in Indianapolis when he was heavyweight champion and in later years. He gave sparring exhibitions on the stage, usually at the old Park theater, demon- | strating punches, footwork and bag | punching. He was cat like on his feet despite his size and boxed and feinted like a lightweight. In his local stage presentations, the big fellow revealed himself a master of timing, blocking and counter punching.
