nAVE MITCHELL'S amateur
IL course record at Riverside was
tottering Wednesday as Ralph Jor-
dan, young caddy master, advanced
around the course in a warlike man
ner cutting down par at every
opportunity. He narrowly missed
equaling the record of 81 by one
stroke.
Jordan was four under par for
the round with So, and players
who were with him say he putted
for enough brides that had only a
few of them dropped he not only
would have cracked the amateur
record but the pro mark of Sc, held
by Russell Stonehouse, course pro,
as we'll.
Indianapolis women golfers are watch
ing with interest the progress of the
South Bend city championship this week
over the South Bend Country Club course
The reason is that Mrs. Penn G. SkiIlern
state champion, and Miss Dorothy Gustaf-
son, defending city champion, both are in
the field and the play is likely to stamp
one as the real threat from that city for
the state title this year.

Mrs. Skillern has not been showing the
same brand of golf so far that enabled
her TO defeat Miss Elizabeth Dunn in the
home course in South Bend, last wear
an Mrt the a. advance to the, title.
., MRS. SKllern won medal honors with a
81 Miss Gustafson, as defending cham
plon, sat on the sidelines automatically
taxing NO. | position. In her FIRST round

n oei,r ! a ana s. but continued around The
Sfis9r and q did it II 1874 for an 81 Mrs
Mary Haokinson. up.

In the second round, Miss Gustafson
continued her brilliant golf with accurate
pitches to the green's, to drop Mrs. Everett
Batdorf, up and in doing SO went out
in Al blows, just two over women's par and
finished her round to come home in As.
five over par, and score an "a for the
round.
Mrs. Skillern needed only to play safe
golf to defeat Mrs. Paul Graham, I up.
II now appears that Mrs. Skillern and
Miss Gusta1son again will meet in the
finals, with the little Danish girl much
the fayorite to retain her crown
