with a lead OF seven strokes on
his nearest competitor Blakeslee |
seems sure OF retaining his crown
or Indiana open champion for an
other year. unless OF course, he
cracks and gives Chick Nelson. Mey-
ering and Robertson a chance to
close up the gap. Meyering plays
much better golf than his score OF /
today indicates and Bert Will make
a desperate effort TO bring the IT,
tie 10 his home course. There are
plerty or cash prizes for the pros
20 shoot for and there promises 70 |
be a hot battle for q place In the /
first seven.
