- INVADING women players
~ who participate in the In

tournament at the Indianapolis

will get more opposition than ex-

in which the professionals team with
women players. Smith and Mrs
SSapp, played very creditable golf
is more adapted to the game
u. and Smith comes forth with
Me information that her 81 the
other day was just a starter.
Two well-known junior golf play
ers from this city are striving to get
into the Western Open tourney to be
held at Highland Golf and Country
Club the last week in August.
Jack Merriam, winner of the In
dianapolis Times Interscholastic
open, and Neville Ewing, the runner
up, are, working hard to get their
handicap certified at five or under.
Last Sunday, playing in a four
some ahead of George Stark and Bill
Reed, Merriam gave his elders some
thing to shoot at. He played the
Coffin course in SO. From reports
Merriam is going to affiliate with
Coffin. He is, in our opinion. one
of the leading junior possibilities of
the city.
Ewing was playing grand golf
until hot weather arrived. He fell
in slump that has added a few
strokes to his score. Daily he is
playing at Riverside to get back to
his game, which is in the seventies.
We have no fear about how the two
young gentlemen will do in the
Western. Merriam believes he can
shoot the four rounds in the seven
ties, and so do we.
Indianapolis may not be so far
away in golfdom.
Arch Grossman and other High
landers who are working out the
Aans for the entertainment of that
lderful tournament, will act as
rs to a committee from the West
ID Association next Wednesday. At
1nat time the association will make
any recommendation as to what can
/ be done at Highland to make it the
best course the play ever was held
over.
Guy May, who has played many
rounds of golf over local courses, is
in new role now. Vonnegut Hard
ware recently added a golf depart
n1ent of standard equipment and Guy
is leading the destinies Of many per-
sons through "Burkedom.'

As legitimate means of providing wholesome

five paid men will be added to the force soon as
possible.

Ell Centre is fast growing out of the small town

ing lis plans that il take care of the natural

That this remark about growth is no idle boast is
shown by the figures Just released by the state con-
troer giving FL Cenro population of close to 10
600. To be exact 9393 is the total enrolment shown
on the states books
Our population has almost doubled in five years.
and there is no to doubt that equal, ii not
greater growth, can be expected during the coming
