,mch Star i'm British Open Play

MYTH ideal weather on tap,
w golfers swarmed the local
courses and put in full weekend
of their favorite sport. One of the
features was the double victory of
Frank Shields, who won his first
round match in the Country Club
spring tournament and then bound
ed over to Meridian Hills, where he
won his third round match in a
similar tournament there. Probably
no upset reported can overshadow
the defeat of Eddie thinner, city
champion, by Romney Wilson, in
the first round of the Indianapolis
Country Club tourney. The score
was 1 up.

try Club tourney follows:

Carl Reichwein, caddy master, was
knocked groggy by the thinner de-
feat. Carl told us some time ago
that Eddie was having trouble with
his optics, but last week Carl was
enthused when Eddie crashed
through with some low 10 scores.
Today the first prO-amateur was TO

club pro, was very hopeful of taking the
boys on his home course: For several vera,

kinson, by crashing out a 36-29 fol

the other courses were going to find
the two hard to crack today.
