Pros and Amateurs Start
II Holes of Medal Play
Competition.
HUGE FIELD ENTERED
Putting May Decide 1929
Golf Champion.
BY DICK MILLER
Times staff Correspondent

GRAND VIEW MUNICIPAL
LINKS, ANDERSON, Ind, July Il
The cream Of Hoosier golfers, both
professionals and amateurs, were
gathered here today for the start
of the 1929 State Open golf cham
pionship, a test Of links skill that
was to be determined with seventy
two holes of medal score play over
this beautiful public course.
When starter Dave Braden sent
the first threesone away from the
tee at $3.50 this morning, a total
Of eighty, by far the largest fle.a
ever to compete for the crown, were
entered and more late entries were
expected before noon.
After glancing over the scores
turned in at the prO-amateur 18-
hole tournament here Wednesday
and listening to the nineteenth hole
gossip, one became certain that the
championship will be determined
not by the work of the woods and
irons, but by work with the putting
blade. The greens here are tricky.
Some Of the boys got the feel
Wednesday and those that did came
home with cards we'll under par
figures.
On in One
The yardage of the course is 5,424,
and ten of the holes are just in the
neighborhood of 800 yards. The
boys who swing a mighty driver were
laying the ball on those greens from
the tee or were in position Tor a
short pitch and easy putt.
Erwin Nelson, secretary Of the pro-
fessionaI association, was on hand
Wednesday taking in new applica-
tons for the organization, which
seems to be growing rapidly. There
was a large gallery following the
players in the pro-amateur and most
Of those have singled out their ia
vorites for the open play.
Bill finder, local pro, had the
largest following, but a host to the
open is not supposed to shoot great
golf. He is to busy handling de-
tails
Many indianapolis Stars
Indianapolis is represented by a
large number, but still one finds
that such old faces as Chick Mel
son. Lee Nelson, George Soutar,
Billy Moore, Eddie thinner, Bill
Diddel, Frank Shields, Ed LennoX
and Ben Col1ee we're absent when
the pairings we're drawn up WedneS-
day night and unless they hurried
under the wire this morning their
chances at the 1929 title would be
lost.
Incidentally. the boys have an
open throne to walk upon. Guy
Paulson, of TT. Wayne last year, but
at present pro at Monmouth, H.,
was not eligible to defend his title
won at French Lick.

KANSAS CITY, July 11-Quali-
flying rounds and opening 18-hole
matches out Of the way, the eight
survivors in the Midwestern Anna
teur golf tournament today settled
down to the serious business Of real
competition. Three 36-hole rounds
Of match play remain before the
champion is crowned, the quarter
finals today, semi-f1nals Friday and
the titular battle Saturday.
Don Moe. 20-year-old intercollegi-
ate star from Portland, Ore, is the
outstanding favorite to take the title,
but his path is beset with serious
hazards. The first obstacle in Noes
path was Carey Ballew Jr., Kansas
City, whom he played today.
A. L. Gus Novotny of Chicago
1928 runner-up to Frank Dolp, I'M
defending champion, was paired to-
day with Johnny Lehman, Gary,

In the lower bracket, Art Sweet,
Chicago sports writer, and Lawrence
Moeller, a Notre Dame student from

certain to meet in the semi-fnals

Sweet was paired with H. J.

Hoosiers End
Series With
Senator Nine
Toledo Hens Here After
Today; Wednesday Game
Goes to Bucks.

With the series standing two VIC
tories for Columbus and one for the
Indians, the Betzelites were to battle
the Buckeyes in the finale today and
strive 10 even up matters with the
smuggling crew from the Ohio capital.
Bill Burweu was slated to do the
flingiLg for the home nine.
Casey Stengels Toledo Hens will
invade the Tribe lot Friday for four
struggles. with single games Friday
and Saturday and a double header
Sunday. The Hoosiers go away fol-
lowing the set Of tits with the
Hens and make a tour Of the west
ern a. A. cities before again per-
forming at Washington Park, Aug. 3.
Fine Rally Falls Short
A brilliant ninth-inning rally fea-
tured the third series contest with
the Senators Wednesday, won by the
visitors, 7 to 6, when the last-inning
effort fell short of tying by one
run. All Tribe runs were earned
whereas three of the Columbus
markers were unearned-and an
other game went into the Tribe lost
column.
AIiscues by Stroner in the third
stanza and by Barnhart in the ninth
gave the Bucks just enough advant-
age to enable them to nose in with
victory. Barnhart's muff of ellis
fly in the final round paved the
way for the two Columbus tallies
that kept the Senators one ahead,
even after the Betzelites hammered
out five hits for four runs in their
half Of the closing session.
Two Tribe Homers
JablonoWski, Senator hurler, had
held the locals to six hits and two
runs for eight innings, but sudden
ly weakened and barely escaped
with the laurels. Sprinz singled to
start the Indians ninth and War
stler singled. Jimmy Stroner then
struck off a home run, his drive to
deep left bouncing over the low
fence. Connolly flied to Callaghan
L-40 G&C4A L Cl444CA bdGAC0 4O4 OpGECC
and walloped the sphere into the
field seats in right center for a
homer.
Matthews bounced out to Mccain,
Layne singled and ellis made
great play to retire Monahan on q
decision that was close.
Swift fielding by Callaghan on
Laynes drive down the left field
foul line in the ninth just about
saved the day for Columbus, Her
man being held to one base. CAL
laghan collected two doubles, a sin

Awarded Cash Prize

Harold M. Finley McConnelsville,
Ohio, has just been awarded cash
prize in the st. Nicholas League. The
prize-winning contribution "Or-
pheus" which appears in the No
vember number of st. Nicholas Mag
azine, follows: when Orpheus was
deeply grieved in mind, because his
Eurydice, fairest bride, in Thrace,
fell victim to the serpent's sting, the
sweetest notes his master Tyre could
sing, were not enough to calm his
sorrowed soul. So he set out un-
armed except with Tyre, to rescue
Eurydice from the shades, before an
other western suns light fades. He
hastened to Olympus where he met
Great Jupiter and piteously implor-
ed that he again might Eurydice
see, that she might come from that
eternity of Pluto back to him. Jove's
heart was moved unto compassion
by the anxious plea, allowing Or
pheus to enter where few go who
any more will breathe earth's air.
LAS vi pHCuS app OdCuCu IliLus SCi UCl
us ragged so in frenzy, all of Hades
shook, but as the music from the
Tyre drew near, the mammoth mon
ster gave a listening ear, and Or
pheus passed on toward Pluto's 8
throne undaunted by the weirdest
spirits groan. After the Tyre had
played it's part the pair of sovereign
faces changed from angry glare to
tears and acquiescence: Orpheus was
granted his fair bride again if he
not look to see her face until earth s
light had displaced Hades and it's
shaded night. But going up, the
hard work done, the man doubted
and lost forever his fair BRIDE"
Harold M. Finley has already won
the silver and gold medals in the
league. This is a remarkable record
for contributor to these monthly
contests of st. Nicholas, where the
competition is so keen and the num-
ber Of competitors so large.
