(By Thomas A. Hendrick*, fttnlf Correaponi- / eat Indiana poll* News J KOKOMO. Ind., August 7.—Even by railing at the hlgh«st altitudes over the course of the Kokomo Country Club, as aviators have been doing here all week, this most daring and far-sighted prophet could not look Into a few future hours this morning clearly enough to tell whether Robert Resener, of Kokomo. or Baxter Sparks, of Terre Haute, would be the Hoosier golfing champion at the conclusion of the twentieth annual state tourna-
ment here Today.
But by descending from these disxy heights and looking the scores, records, past and present performances squarely In the face, maybe Resener should be given the shade of performance because he is the veteran golfer of the two and thereby is entitled to traditional standing, and secondarily because he is playing today over his own home course, a course similar in many respects to those upon which he won his state chamnionship titles
back in 1913 and 1914.
However, wherever there is a shade there is also a shadow, and Baxter Sparks, the nincteen-year-old youngster, is casting one mighty image in the Indiana golfing sun despite- his slight 110-pound figure, an image.in fact that Droved to he a terrible “bogeyboo” to Johnny Simpson in the third round Thursday and to Charlie Taylor in the
semi-finals yesterday. New School Triumph.
If Sparks wins today it means a complete triumph an*d clean sweep for the new school of golfing youngsters who have so suddenly and pleasantly' come forth in the present tournament. Ainsworth Byrnes, of Lafayette, anbther nine-teen-vear-older, who gained the low medal honors in the qualifying rounds the first two days of tour-
nament playing.
Reeener wins it means several things. Firstly, that one of Inid-
P° pu,a r Rogers gains his
thied state championship, and there-
by brings to a climax a most re-
markable golfing career. Second,

with their still unformed, half prefj?*’ k* 1 * negligent and wholly picturesque game, still have to wait another year or so before they com-

Over in England they have a cheese champion in Joe Beckett, and the boxing fans were in high glee when Beckett last week won a technical knockout over old Tommy Burns, who was at one tim* world s champion because some pug gave it to him. Burns was licked in Australia many years ago by Jack Johnson, and It was evident the oldtimer wanted some loose change when he crawled into the London ring with Beckett for what was advertised as the British championship.

State Tournament Gossip
KOKOMO. Ind > August 7.—If the tournament had lasted another week Dr. H. C Heaton, of Riverside, would make even the highbrows of the championship flight step to trim him. He sailed away to a bad start the first day and then cut hia score the second day by eighteen strokes and went continually better as the week grew older. J. J. Stillman, of Ft. Wayne, who has been playing only three years, ran a mighty thrilling ten-foot putt on the eighth green that gained him a big band. • • • Golf is ’coming fast at Frankfort. Ben Cohee. a Frankfortian. qualified well up in the championship flight, artd E. E. Merril. H. H. Newton and J. C. McClamroch should be in the running in the title round when the big week comes off at South Bend in 1921. This speaks mighty well for Frankfort, because golfiing there survives under the handioap of having a course that is only newly completed and having no clubhouse at all.

Itself, if Resener shoots the same sort of golf today as against Sielken, whom he defeated 8 and 7 yesterday, he will be ope terrible hard man for Sparks to beat. To live up to that standard means that Bobbie must be straight down the course on his drives, seldom take more than five putts to every three greens, keep clear of the sand traps and shy at the bunkers. For going thus Sparks can not reasonably expect Bobbie to be any less difficult than Charlie Taylor or Johnnie Simpson both of whom he downed on the thirty-sixth
green.
Though It may not mean much. Resener's medal score against Sielken was several strokes on each round better than Sparks's against Taylor. Though Robbie may seem to have the edge, fair prophecies have been spoken so often and so seldom have been fulfilled in this tournament that nothing on earth can drag a prediction from the greater part of the galMaater Was Jim Barnes. As for Sparks, Bax has shown that he is no flash in the pan, no false alarm. He has been up and he has been down and he has shown an unmistakable temperament to give and take golf punishment along with the best of them. To ufatch Sparks swing it is easy to see that an artist with a most scrupulous eye for form had superintended his game, and so it is no surprise to learn that no less of an instructor than Jim Barnes has been his master. He has the Barnes swing, which combines propriety and novelty and give* what a golfing aesthete might term true poetry of motion, /•u . It may not be too late in the game to say one word about Charlie Taylor. of Laporte. His comeback from six Nlown on Sparks yesterday in the semi-final round was one of the miracles that will be talked of for long
Dick Patton, graduate this year from Phillips Andover and headed for Cornell, won the secretary s cup, defeating Birch I jams, of Terre Haute, in the final round for that flight. Dick turned in a splendid 80 card for the morning round in his match against Ijams, the figures for the
18 boles lining up a# follows:

Birch Ijams played all his golf the day before he met Patton. Billy VanLandingham bad the Vigo county closed champion 4 down and 5 to go and Ijams went "wild” shooting par golf for the next ft holes, squaring the match on the 36th hole and winning it on the first extra green. This was the record come-back of the tourna-
ment.
• • • The game played by C. W. Jones, of Logansport. has been most impressive. It took Jack Bixier, one of those promising youngsters from Lafayette, extra hoies to win from him. Jack continued the good work in the final round of the Director’s Gup flight winning the semi-final round match from Johnny I^dbetter, of Michigan City, another one of the 1920 bumper crop of youngsters. • • • It is too bad that Babe Jay, the youngest member of the golfing side of the Jay family. consisting of father and two sons, is not here. Phil and father Jay hare been holding up the family honor in the present tournament. but it is Babe, the kid. upon whom they always depend to bring home the hard-
ware.

Judaea Canne Surprise. Local horsemen view with a ftreat deal of surprise the action of the judges a t Columbus laat Friday, when Ed Allen, driver of Single G. 1:59%. was suspended for thirty days and fined $500, for alleged manipulation in the free-fot-all pace on Monday. It will be recalled that after winning the first heat. Single G. showed up badly In succeeding heats, and the judge* took the matter under advisement until the end of the week. Their decisi n was certainly punitive for the cleva. reinsman. On the face of the summary the sudden reversal of form of Single G, from a winning heat In 2:01 to a defeat in 2:03%, would be cause for suspicion, were not the history of the Indiana pacer scanned, and his peculiarities known. Great race horse that he 1*. the son of Anderson Wilkes, like many celebrities of the human family, is troubled with a temperament which upsets things. In preceding races Single G. has showed the same trouble which caused suspicion to set upon his driver and manager. In his race with William, 1:58%, at Milwaukee last fall he showed the same sort of disposition which Allen claims was the fault at Columbus last Monday. After winning the flrsjt heat in ZiOz’ii, he failed miserably when Allen called on him in the stretch the next mile, rolling and short stepping in the stretch and allowing the other Hoosier stallion to defeat him In a heat much slower. After the 1919 race season was over Allen discussed that race along with other occasions when similar appearing incidents came up. "If there had been betting at Milwaukee,” he said, “the judges would have Thought Harry Stokes (who -was driving Single G), was cheating, but I know the horse well enough to understand. He develops at times a sulky mood.” The angle of the betting at Columbus. when a sudden switch after the first heat came unexpectedly, made the judges dig deeper into the ca*e and probably influenced them greatly In making the decision. Following all this came the hews of Single G’s withdrawal at Toledo because of poor conditions.

FT. WAYNE, Ind.. August 7.—John Hennessey, last year’s runner-up ia the annual trisiate tennis championship tournament, which Is .in progress at the Country Club her*, was the last hop* of Indianapolis and Hoosier court followers when h* met Walter Westbrook, of Cleveland, for th* title here today. Hennessey was given th* edge on Westbrook. h« having defeated th# Buckeye wixard last month in th# Indiana open championship tournament. Hennessey won his way to the finals oa Friday by defeating Frit* Bastion, ot Indianapolis. 1919 tristate title holder. 6—0. 8—6. 6—3. Last year Basil an was able to cope with Hennessey whenever they met except in the Indiana open. This season Basttan has thus far (ailed to win a match with John. Part of Hennessey's present superiority over Bastian may be credited to the early atart John received in his play in the Florida open last winter, in which he met the best of the country. Bastian. like most every other Hoosier court artist, was handicapped this spring by raw, rainy weather and poor court*. John a Recent Victor. Westbrook has twice defeated Frits Basil *n for the western conference- collegiat* title. Hennessey'* recent victory over Westbrook was one of the neatest ever handed th* former Detroiter, who now plays out ot Cleveland. Westbrook won his way to the finals by defeating hi* teammate from Cleveland. Kenneth Simmons. 0—0, 8—1, 8——4. It is indeed a remarkable coincidence that Hennessey, who defeated Bastian Friday, ia teamed against Westbrook, who defeated Simmons Friday, in the doubles. This is the first real chance the Bastian-Henneeaey combination has had to show its speed, the two Indianapolis hoys never having played before except in en exhibition match against William Johnson, national champion, and Peck Griffin, of California, at the tristate on the courts of the Indianapolis Tennis Association last summer. > Bastian and Hennessey defeated Georgs Starbuck and Parker, of Indianapolis, la the doubles semi-finals. 6—8, 6—17 7—5. 0—8.

It was one of the most unusual tournaments in the history of Indiana in one respect at least, and that is the fact that there has only been one member of the Nelaon iamily on hand. That member is Chick who has developed as many young golfers as any professional in Indiana.

One of the best shots of the tournament waa played by Joe Kelly. On the fourth holg his shot landed in a stream that catches many of the boys. In place of taking a penalty stroke, as most golfers would have done. Joe waded right into the deepest part of the young torrent and neatly
