MRS. JUDSON in FINALS
EASILY DEFEATED MISS BESSIE
RAWLS IN SEMI-FINALS.
Match Was Interesting Throughout,
Miss Raw1s COntesting Every Hole
with the Winner.

In the semi-inals for the woman's golf
championship of Indianapolis, played yes
terday at Riverside, Mrs. Chas., Judson.
by defeating Miss Bessie Rawls 6 up and
5 to play, won the right to meet Miss Earla
NJ. Bowers in the finals for the champion
ship tomorrow afternoon. Miss Bowers
by drawing the bye reached the finish with
out playing the semi-1nals.
This is the second time this season that
Mrs. Judson has reached the finals. The
fight she put up for the Riverside champion
ship against Miss Elizabeth Rawls, the win
ner. is well remembered by the golfers of
the city and a very exciting and closely
contested match is looked for in the finals,
as Miss Bowers is q player of much ability,
having just administered the first defeat
of the season to the former Riverside cham
pion, Miss Elizabeth Rawls.
In the Mrs. Judson and Miss Rawls
match yesterday, while the score that the
winner won by was large. it does not show
the good golf played by both contestants.
Promptly at 2:SO the players drove off from
the first tee and for the first five holes
the match was a spirited contest. The
first three holes were halved. The fourth
hole was won by Mrs. Judson by playing
a perfect short game On the fifth hole
Miss Rawls made the match even by TAX
ing advantage of her opponents sliced drive
into the long grass. On the sixth hole
Mrs. JudsOn again forged in the lead and
from then on was never headed. Driving
from the seventh tee Mrs. Judson on the
second hot drove into the hedge, which is
the most difficult natural hazard of the
course. and by so doing thereby lost an
opportunity to increase her lead.
Miss Rawls, by running down a long putt,
halved the hole. The eighth and ninth
Rawls's driving was perfect but she was
unable to control her short game and lost
the holes by her inability TO down her puts.
This gave Mrs. Judson a lead of 3 up at the
ninth hole. The tenth hole was halved,
both players playing good golf. TIL elev-
enth hole was won by Mrs. Judson running
down an eight foot putt. Driving over
the railroad from the twelfth tee, Mrs.
Judson sliced her ball into the long grass
just over the railroad, her opponent getting
a perfect ball straight for the green. Mrs.
long grass, Miss Rawls topping her second
shot. Miss Rawls played three onto the
green. Mrs. Judson's third shot went TO
the hole. Miss Rawls missed the putt for
a fore and Mrs. Judson won the hole, 4 10
Miss Rawls's 8. AT this point Mrs. judi
son was 5 up on Miss Rawls and only
six TO play. Driving from the thirteenth
tee Mrs. Judson had the honor and got
away one of the longest drives of the after
noon, Miss Rawls topping her ball into the
bunker. At this point Miss Rawls became
very erratic and topped the three following
shots and Mrs. Judson, by playing a steady
and brilliant game, won the hole and the
match, 6 up and 5 to play, and reached the
finals for the second time.

A TOY.
A Club to Practice with 1t Exists in
Washington.

New York Mail and Express.
Throwing b-oomerangs-not the political
kind, but the real ones-is coming to be a
popular sport in Washington, or rather in
the suburbs of Washington, for boomerang
throwing in large cities is nearly as danger
Gus as rifle practice. The Washington
Boomerang Club, with a membership Of re-
spectacle proportions, has been organized
and grounds for practice have been Sc
cured and the new sport is in full blast.
The men who have gone into the fun say a
boomerang crank as a baseball crank or a
hshing crank or a golf crank.
A while ago Professor Walker, of Cam
bridge, England, who has been in for near
ly every sort of out-of-door sports, went to
Washington and told some scientific men
there that he knew of no better fun than
to the physical exertion necessary, the
training given the eye and nerves was a lit
tie better thar anything he knew of. More
than that. Professor Walker had some
boomerangs with him, and he took the gen.
tlemen to a field in the suburbs of Wash
ington and showed them how the trick is
done.
The sport took instantly and the scien-
tific men went providing around lumber
yards looking for white ash to make
boomerangs of. 1t seems that a rude Aus
tralian will go into a store and buy BOOM
erangs by the dozen, but hat is not the
etiquette of the game as imported from
Cambridge TO Washington. More than half
the skill in the sport is in making the BOOM
tIdHS. II IL Ilduc u White ASH, steamed
and bent into the desired shape. OF course
the Washington players are not expert
boomerang makers yet, but they have got
along so far In the art that any one of
them can make a boomerang so wonderful
ly constructed that no mortal can tell
where it will go when thrown with great
force. After a while, through the exercise
of much patience, they hope to get the
business down to so fine "a point that the
boomerang will do what is expected of it
describe certain movements in the air and
return to the feet of the thrower.
Until skill has been acquired on the part
of the players, boomerang-throwing is pref
ty dangerous for everybody within a radius
of some hundreds of yards. In the hands
of an inexperienced thrower a boomerang
may go anywhere except where it is ex-
pected to go, but wherever il does go it
goes Will tremendous speed. When the
boomerangs thrown by the Washington
throwers come to earth they go into the
ground SO far that IL is often a task TO pull
them out. Were one of the things to hit
a man or even a horse a painful wound
would be the least possible result and
should the blow be upon the head death
might follow.

PUNTER FOR SHORTRIDGE
HACKNEY, CANDIDATE FOR GUARD,
IS BEST KICKER on TEAM.
Captain Clark Is Well Pleased with
Showing of the New Players-M.
II. III. =. Candidates.

Supporters OF the Shortridge football team
have just cause TO feel elated, as a new
punter has been developed who gives prom
ise OF becoming the best high school punter
In the State. He is Bob Hackney, a ca1di-
date for guard on the team. Hackney has
been training with the players for the past
few days. and mas done some kicking that
has caused much admiration. In the prac-
tice yesterday he punted the ball farther
than any OF the other candidates, and made
several trials just to show that his first
few attempts were not fukes. Captain
Clark feels confident that Hackney will be
able to make the team, as he has shown
good football ability in addition to his punt
ing. Hackney weighs 1S5 pounds, is six feet
tall and is a good athlete. He won the
hurdle event for shortridge last year. He

Two very promising candidates for quar-

very speedy and could be used at end.
Among some of the other new candidates
are Doneker, guard, weight 1S3 pounds, on

trying for half back; David Allerdice, leo

year, a candidate for full or half back. He

Harley Boyle, second best distance runner

An absorbing topic at the school is the
subject OF a coach. Heretofore the senti-
ment has been unfavorable TO a paid coach
on the ground that 1t induced too much of
the professional side OF the sport. This
opinion has changed, however, due TO the
difficulty encountered last year, when the
team was without a coach for some time.
II Is probable that Robertson, of Purdue,
may be induced TO coach the team.

PRACTICING WITH DUMMY
COACH CUTS LEARNING PURDUE
MEN HOW TO TACKLE.
Innovation on Stuart FieId-POssibIe
Composition of the First Varsity
Football Team.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 12.-Seventy
candidates for football honors have been
put to work on Coach Cutts's new tackling
dummy, which was put into operation on
Stuart Field last night. The arrangement
is built according to Cutts's own ideas, and
is the first ever erected at Purdue. Last
night the football squad lined up and one
man at a time tackled the manikin, which
hung suspended from a scaffold. Coach
Cults first lectured on the subject of tack
ling, impressing his hearers with the i'm
p~ortance Of the branch of football instruc-
ton, and then illustrated good and poor
tackles. The new men were taught TO dive
and throw the dummy in the proper way.
Then by an ingenious device the stuffed
figure was drawn across the scaffold to
initiate a man running. There was further
practice, during which the coach worked
his men hard and urged them TO be rougher.
Meanwhile, Trainer McClaire took the
varsity men, or those considered as hav-
ing the best chances of positions on the
varsity, and put them through various ex-
ercises. The men lined up and held off
some of the scrubs, while the varsity
purters sent the leather flying down field.
Several punters showed UP especially well.
1t is evident that hardly a single man who
was on the varsity team last year con-
siders himself absolutely certain of a place
this season. The old men work as hard as
the new, and Coach Cults sees that no man

borne; half backs, Knapp, Mowrey and
zimmerman; full back, Thomas. 1t looks
now as though the varsity would line up
this way for the first game unless Coach
Cults decides on some new men for the line.
Mowrey, who played half back two years
ago and who was not in school last year,
is showing remarkable form. Allen, Rebel,
