WOMAN'S GOLF PLAY
DRAWS MANY STARS

CHICAGO, August 4.-Woman Ma
tional Golf Champion Edith Cum
mings, the defending titleholder;
Miriam Burns Of Kansas City, six
former Western champions and some
$50 other woman golfers, including
many State. City and regional titlists,
today played the qualifying round of
the woman's Western golf champion
ship at Onwentsia club.
While Miss Burns automatically
qualified because of the title she won
at Exmoor Club last year by defeat
ing Louise Pordyce of Youngstown,
Ohio, in the finals, she elected to play
today for the practice and chance
to win low medal honors.
Miss Cummings, while she has won
honors abroad, in addition to the ma
tional crown, has never won the
Western honors. She is a favorite,
however, as the play is over her home
course.
Thirty-two players will qualify for
the championship flight, and Is for
each of two other flights. Match
play will be IS holes until the finals
Saturday, when 36 holes will be play
ed for the title.

In tennis doubles there is nothing
to indicate that the Davis cup COM

to say nothing of Tilden and Will

There is no assurance that any
team selected will be able to defeat

In such a case the outflelder has
no particular worries if there are
two men out, because all he has tc
do is to catch the ball for the third
out. If, however, there are none
down or one down, the fielder must
determine in advance just where he
is going to throw the ball SO as to
catch a runner who tries to score
or advance a base on the sacrifice
fly. Always try to cut off the man
at the plate if such a procedure is
humanity possible, but if it is not
possible don't try wild heave just
for the effect it may have on the
grandstand. Another thing-don't
try to get the ball away on its jour
ney so quickly that you have nc
