Defending Champ Stroke
Better Than Dwight
for 27 Holes.
SHOOT PAR OR LOWER
Tourney Qualifying Round
Ends at Hills Course.
BY DICK MILLER
Times Staff Correspondent

HILLS COURSE, FRENCH LICK,
Ind, Aug. 20-George Lance OF
Terre Houte, and Dwight Mitchell
Of French Lick continued to equal Or
better par as they led the field IN
the Indiana amateur golf tourney
here today over the second eighteen
holes of the thirty-siX hole qualify
ing round.
Lance, the defending champion,
who was one stroke behind Mitchell
at the end of the first round Mon
day, shot two under par this morn
ing on his first nine to take 81.
Mitchell had an even par So for
the first nine.
Lances card included three brides
and but one bad hole, where he
went one over par Mitchell had
two buries, but went over par one
stroke on two holes. At the long
fifth, he got into the ditch and
then took three puts for a six.
Lance shot a 10 Monday and
Michel a SO. Their scores for q
holes, therefore, were Lance, 104;
Mitchell, los.
DiddeI Gets 81
Pete Schaefer, William Diddel and
Jack Tuitte, all of Highland, In
dianapolis, had 37s on the first nine
today, one over par. Diddel, for
mer champion, was playing his
woods and irons perfectly, and had
he been putting well, might have
been down under par as much as
Lance.
Early figures today indicate that
the low scores turned in Monday by
more than half Of the entries would
continue, and that the maximum
score for eligibility to the champion
ship fight would be lower than last
year.
Mayor L. Ert Slack of Indian
apolis and hsi honrary foursome,
making the tournament social con-
test, hurried out to the links this
morning to play before the tourna-
ment crowd appeared.
Slack "Blows Up
Slack, striving to equal his SO of
Monday, ran into lot of grief and
scored lis, taking a severe beat
ing at the hands Of R. Earl Peters,
Ft. Wayne, Democratic state chair
man, who shot a 80. Joel Baker,
city purchasing agent of Indianapo-
lis, shot 95, and w Blaine Patton,
Indianapolis, had "a.

At least the championship flight,
when it begins match play Wednes-
day morning will have thirteen new
faces in it who were not in last
year. Thirteen of the 1928 select
thirty-two were absent from the
qualifying round Monday. The new
face proposition should stimulate
things; and if the ones who are alb
sent this year take a notion to come
back next year the competition
should be keener.
Rain would help the course. The
flock of brides and several eagles
turned in Monday certainly give in
dication that the putting surfaces
are in excellent shape. Dwight Nit
chell sank probably the longest putt,
one on the ninth green of thirty-f1ve
feet. Chick Bader, A. H. Elan
igan, John Bartlett and many more
of the boys bagged long ones that
helned scores considerable

A new golf organization was
formed since the tournament has
been on. More than a dozen of the
contestants, all of whom are more
than fifty years of age, got together
and formed what will be known as
the Methusela Golf Association.
Plans call for pair of tournaments
a year and probably both of them
will be played here, at least one
of them. DR.. M. E. Clark of High
land, Indianapolis was elected presi-
dent; A. H. Flanagan of Crawfords-

treasurer. The officers will organize
fall and spring tournaments.

reason many players we're absent

mate is very hot at this time of the

than anywhere else, it seems. Jess

that with Tom Taggart willing, the

Action was taken at the first Autumn

Another corner to which the Traffic Blu

Eighth street and Maryland avenue.
A. H. Gregory, president of the STAN

ignoring of even unanimous expressions
of opinion on the part of citizens as

GRAIN MARKET,

CHICAGO, November 10 F.-De-
eldedly higher prices for wheat came
about early today as q result of trcreas-
ing reports OF serious crop damage In
Argentina by black rust. Unexpected
relative firmness of Liverpool wheat
quotations, together with good-sized
export business overnight in North
American wheat, acted as an additional
incentive to buying of wheat future
deliveries here. Opening u to q up,
Chicago wheat afterward continued to
climb. Corn and oats were likewise
stronger, with corn starting "a to u
higher and subsequently rising stiii
more. Provisions declined.
Extremely heavy trading was wit
messed at times in the Chicago wheat
pit today, with price uptuIns receiving
momentum from reports indicating that
black rust damage in Argentina was
spreading fast, and that the weather
there now was of a character to in.
crease injury from rust. on the other
hand, some advices current said that
Argentine harvest was extending daily,
and that estimates of crop damage were
prematurely peSsimistic.
Friends of higher prices for wheat
displayed much more aggressivenesS
today than usual, and various trade
leaders expressed themselves as be-
lieving that long-looked-for advances
were coming to focus. In this connec-
ton, the fact was stressed that the
amount OF wheat on ocean passage was
only two weeks normal needs, and that
Europe was at the stage where con-
t1nued import purchases were irnpera-
tive. Highest prices of the day here
were reached after the Liverpool mar.
Ket mad closed, showing fresh advances.

light and the market held steady.

ported that Bombay selling and local

low rate of exchange was restricting
