Gardner and Evans Beat Boy Wonders Before 2,500
Chicago's two Brobdingnagian golfers. Charles Evans Jr. and Robert A. Gardner, proved too strong a combination for the invading midgets from Atlanta. Bobby Jones and Perry Adair in their Red Cross match at the Flossmoor Country ciub yesterday, winning 4 and 2. Many Hammond Cohntry Club people saw the match. The southern champion and his partner faced a hard task in opposing the amateur champion and the former title holder, both seasoned campaigners, who appeared less bothered by the big gallery of 2,500 which surged over the course. Financialy the crowd "surged" to the extent of approximately $1,000, according to an early estimate made by President C. C. Paddleford. In the main the gallery move'd In open skirmishing order, ocasionally breaking into a gallop. Several trenches were captured and at the short seventh water hole a war scribe slipped and sprained his elbow, the injury putting Crowd Handicaps Q.ara. It would be unfair to criticize the performers for not playing up to standard under the crowded conditions In whic hthey labored. Driving down fairways bordered with humanity and sometimes playing from human horseshoes, they hardly could be expected to deliver their best brand of golf. Save for a stiff southerly breezy the crowd was the only handicap, as the course was 1 nperfect condition and the atmosphere balmy. As a whole, there was little of the spectacular. On the greens the play produced few thrills, a twenty-five footer by Gardner being the longest putt of the day. Individual scorfes were subordinated to teamwork, and it was this latter factor that gave the Chicago men their victory.
ElODGERS WIN The fast East Chicago Dodgers defeated the Junior Colts on the former's grounds Sunday by a score of 8 to 2. Joe Burke was the feature of the game, striking out 13 batsmen,, while Erwin Frase received 7 strikeouts. Next Sunday the Junior Colts will cross bats with the Invincible of East Chicago on the former's grounds. July 1st the Junior Colts will play a return "game with the Dodgers.

Early this spring Pat Moran told Oeschger that he would have to show something or prepare to depart. Since then Joe has pitched excellent ball and seems determined to show that he deserves a good place in the fast set.

LANDS LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE FOR AMERICA
Benny Leonard '
Bennie Leonard. New York's lightweight star, brought the lightweight belt back to America when he recently defeated Freddie Welsh, the Er.phsh champ. Welsh's defeat of Willie Ritchie several years ago took the lightweight title from the American ring. Leonard will be a popular champ as he has a brilliant record and has never refused to battle a tough adversary. He is only twentyone. .

Honus Lobert may become a regular third sacker again. Veteran outfielders by dozens are roaming around the country or warming spots on big league benches. There are countless pitchers of class whose ages are over the draft limit. It wouldn't be startling to find them again battling on the diamond. Of course, It Is true that many, many youngsters go to the majors every year, and that half of these are under 21.
