Donald Ross is the architect Of the
French Lick Course The claim that
this course is one OF the greatest in
America is no over-statement to the
golfers who are playing on it. Perfect
putting greens. awful traps. somber
bunkers. rolling fairways. hills and
valleys. wonderful vistas. all these
things make the French Lick course
emphatic in excellence. But it is a
man-killer. The player who is not in
the best physical condition comes into
the nineteenth hole. tired.
The tournament is a society event
as well as a sporting one. Players
bring their wives and sisters Some
how sweethearts and chaperons drift
in and there is dancing, and small
talk and horseback riding and plenty
OF amusements besides the golf play.
Scores have not been as good as
they should be. But this course is
three or four strokes harder than the
home courses Of the players.

There has been an event arranged
for southpaws in the State golf meet
standing in golf. There are those who
hit from the left side OF the plate,
as the baseball writers say. but left
handed swatters are not encouraged
by most OF the Indiana professionals.

is a crack and he hits left-handed. So
does Sol Meyer and Kelly OF indian

matches. They try to win it gen.

TWO GAMES FORFEITED

Be Changed Because of
Upsets.
TWO GAMES FORFEITED

Two extra-inning games featured
the start of the Times baseball tourna-
ment Sunday for the city independent
amateur championship.
The Meldons and Seal-Fasts went
twelve innings to a 4to-4 draw and the
Maroons and Riversides battled eleven
innings. 2 to 2. The p. m. Sunday
baseball closing law forced the call
ing of of these hard-fought contests.
Thunder showers of the early after
noon interfered with the playing OF
the 1890 games and one contest
scheduled for $3.50 was decided by
the forfeit route when one team failed
to make it's appearance at the proper
time. One team, the Dodgers. won
an automatic forfeit when the Trojans
were disqualified.
Two Ties, Five Postponements
Twenty-three teams remain In the
big event as result OF the outcome OF
Sundays schedule. Because Of two
tie games resulting and five postpone
ments, next Sundays program will be
different than planned.
1t will be necessary for the teams
the games postponed also will be
played off as originally carded. The
same umpires will officiate.
All the other teams will rest next
Sunday in order to permit the SEIZED
ule to work out as originally drawn.
Diamonds on which the tie games and
postponed games will be played off
will be announced later.
On account OF this arrangement
it will not be necessary for the man.
ayers to have a meeting this week.
Any other details in connection with
next Sundays games will be printed
in the Times.
Rain Fails to Halt Fans
1t was estimated that 10000 follow
ers OF the amateur teams witnessed
the nine games contested Sunday.
The Maroon-Riverside battle at River
side diamond No. 1 drew the biggest
throng, about $500 spectators being
present. The hard rain kept many
people away from the city parks, but
neighborhood rivalry had been worked
up to such a high pitch over some OF
the battles that hundreds Of fans
risked the dampness in order to be
present for hostilities.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS clash was a
pitchers battle between Ewing for
the Maroons and Schmutte for the
Riversides. Hits were few and strike
outs many. The game was handled
by Umpire Bilger.
At No. diamond. Riverside, Sharp
for the Meldons and Edwards for the
Seal-Fasts engaged in a thrilling
f1inging duel. which went twelve in
nings TO a 4-to-4 tie. Bryan saved the
game for the Meldons with one
handed catch in the ninth with a Seal
Fast on third.
The L. E. & W.-Imperial game.
carded for Rhodius diamond No. 1 at
$3.50 p. m, was not played and the
Imperials claimed a forfeit. a review
of the facts, however. would seem to
indicate the L. E. & w. boys did not
have a fair chance to reach the dia-
mond in time. First the rain delayed
the manager getting his players to-
gether and then a freight train at Bel
mont Ave. held up most Of the team
on the way TO the diamond. The fair
thing to do in this case seems to or
der the teams to play next Sunday.

commission.
Rube Lutzke, former Indian, is
playing great ball for K. c. He was
wild to beat his old mates Sunday and
when called out on close play in the
ninth he became excited and tossed
dust at Umpire Mullin, and Mullin
retaliated by giving him the tinware.

though the Twin City teams are going
to battle down the stretch together.
