The Indianapolis times., 1923-08-16

The pairings were as follows
Johnny Simpson and Eddie thinner,
both from Indianapolis; Baxter Sparks
Of Terre Haute and Robert Sharts of
Logansport; Arch Sampson of Muncie
and Jack Bixler of Lafayette, and
Frank Shields and Cliff Wagner. both
from Indianapolis.
Four From Indianapolis
Four Indianapolis golfers were left
in the running after Wednesdays s
play and two OF them must be elimi-
mated today as the draw calls for the
Hoosier capital entries to fight it out
among themselves. 1t seems as though
Fate has decreed that Simpson and
Zimmer, two of the States best, should
meet in the earlier rounds of the In
diana tournaments. Last year the
two stars clashed in the third round,
also.
OF the four in today's play from
Indianapolis, Simpson, thinner and
Shields are from the Country Club,
nand Wagner from Irvington.
- Out of the thirty-two who quail
, fed twenty-four were eliminated
Wednesday in the two rounds of
match play at IS holes.
