There's no reason why woman
can't serve on a grand jury" she
said, commenting on her expe-
rienCes. Women are interested in
the welfare of their community
and in the apprehension Of Grim
inals.
There is, Of course, a certain
amount Of discomfort to hearing
the sordid details Of crime, as they
are presented in a grand jury
chamber investigation, but women
in present days are accustomed to
reading Of gangsters and murderers
in their daily newspapers, and they
can be shielded no longer from the
fact that such things do exist"
VERY Much Interested"
One thing has impressed Mrs.
Gordon in her grand jury expe-
riences. L feel that these inves-
legations reveal that the fault of
crime can be laid usually to some
mistake in home training or home
environment" she said.
When she was called for grand
jury service, in early summer, the
courtroom gasped when a motherly
sWeet-faced, gray-haired woman ap-
peared before the judges bench.
Her name had been pulled from
hat in which the names Of num-
bers Of taxpayers in Marion county
were held. The name Percy M
Gordon" was believed at first to be
that of a man.
You don't want to serve on this
grand jury, do you, Mrs. Gordon?"
she was asked.
"Of course I do" was the re-
spouse, I'm very much interested
in it
Not as a mark of chivalry, but
because she was fitted for the posi-
ton through years of social service
and community work, Mrs. Gordon
was elected by masculine members
of the grand jury as foreman. She
has given from two to three hours
a day. for 100 days, to Investigations
of crimes committed in Marion
county.
Husband Is Proud
The law makes me ineligible for
a year to serve again." Mrs. Gordon
said I'm sorry; it has been
worthwhile experience, and 1 would
like to continue the work. I only
hope that the next grand jury will
have among its members some other
woman who will be able to give her
time and thought to the investiga.
ton of crime"
Mrs. Gordon began social service
work when she was about 20. She
has been a member of various Wom-
ems clubs in Indianapolis, and at
present is an active member Of the
community welfare department of

Despite the titanic efforts Of Joe
Lynch, Georgetown University
golf star who contributed 32
points to the Massachusetts cause,
the team representing New York
today held a four-point lead in
the play for the Lesley Cup at the
Pine Valley Club here. Massachu'

Pennsylvania third with "a, and
Canada fourth with 10.
Lynch, playing the No. / posi-.
ton, defeated Jess Sweetser, Of
New York. and Max Marston, OF
Philadelphia, and won by default
from the absent Canadian player.
In the scotch foursomes, how.
ever, Lynch. paired with Kenneth
Corcoran, was not so fortunate.
They could gain only a half with
the Canadian pair of Corrigan
and Fenwick, and lost to Sweetser
and Sidney Moves, Of New York,
and Marston and George Flynn,
of Philadelphia.

UNS0 Van VIE, de-
Tending champion, and her un
known opponent. 20-year-old Doro'
thy Traung. of San Francisco,
started on their belated way in
the 36-hole final for the national
women's title over the WhitemarSh
Valley links today, and by the
ninth hole, Miss Traung was three
up.
From the start it was obvious
that the golf scores weren't going
to be of championship caliber
largely because Of pools Of water
on the course.
Miss Traung won the first hole,
5 to 6, to be up on the Chicago
girl who has worn the crown the
past two years and was trying Tor
q three-time victory.
There Miss Traung's second was
trapped, and after chipping up
three feet from the cup she scored
her S. Miss Van VIE was also
trapped on her way to the green,
but she didn't explode out as well
as the sturdy California girl. The
ball overran the green, and, after
chipping back four feet past the
green, she missed the putt Tor a
half.
Comes Out of Ditch
They halved the second IN D.
Miss Traung coming out Of a shall
low ditch, eight feet from the cup
for her half, while Miss Van VIE
Clipped up two feet short ana
missed the putt once again.
Still / down, Miss Van VIE was
trailing by two holes when she lost
the third. She Clipped up four
feet away there and, for the third
time, her putt stayed in sight.
The California girl went 3 up
when the champion landed in q
trap at the fourth hole, ana tooH
S to 4 for her opponent.
Miss Van VIE Scores
The defender scored for the
first time at the fifth, with a
5 to a 6. There Miss Traung
half-topped her iron second, the
ball going about IS yards to the
edge of a puddle. She was
trapped in 8, and 10 feet past the
pin in 4, taking 6. Miss Van
VIE won with S, to be 2 down
going to No. 6.
They halved the sixth and sew
enth, but Miss Traung scored a
deuce at the ninth to be out in
AZ and 8 up on the champion
who needed As to that stage.
Miss Traung was IL feet from
the cup with a fine No. 8 iron to

A penalty stroke at the tenth

her ball in addressing it, cost her
the opportunity of going 4 up,
for without that stroke she won
the hole 4 to s. AS it was, she
halved in 5.

HAMAS VICTOR
IN BRU|S|NG
RING TILT
BY HYPE IGOE

ny H1EE 1OOE
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Steve
Hamas and Art Lasky put their
hearts on the line at Madison
Square Garden last night and
growled:
"Come and get me-"
It was a desperate, savage en-
counter which they put up. For
sheer courage and gameness, the
struggle has seldom been equalled
by big men. Joe Agnello and
Harold Barnes disagreed, leaving
the awarding up to Billy Cava-
naugh, West Points boxing tutor.
He called it for HamaS.
There was the usual hullaballoo,
but, though a close squeak, the
verdict was fair. Agnello called
six rounds for Hamas and four
for Lasky. Barnes had 'em five
and five, but gave 1t to Lasky be-
cause of his powerful and stronger
finish in the last few rounds.
Cavanaugh tabled it five for Ha-
mas, four for Lasky and one even.
Fight Like Wolves
It wasn't a fancy bout. They
thought naught of the Jim Cor
bett idea of beauty in fisticuffs.
They bit through their rubber
mouthpieces and crashed headon
like wolves of the Canadian wilds.
Hamas was superb in his game
ness. He floundered when he tired
in spots, and then Lasky charged
with cruel, little short-arm hooks
and jabs which raked Hamas un-
mercifully. This didn't break Ha-
mas spirit.
Keeling backward as he was
lolling along the ropes in a fever
ish attempt to keep upright on
his spread legs, he'd suddenly
come up with dying punches and
drive LaSky back. Deafenlng ap-
plause met these great unexpected
rallies.
Careless Blow Costly
They took the fourth round
away from Lasky because of a
harmless back-hand flick into
Steve's face. That careless, vag-
rant blow cost Lasky the fight,
since he was best in the round.
It was a tough break for Lasky,
though he was at fault in that
he allowed Hamas to get the jump
on him in the early rounds. Art
timed his finish a bit too late.
The gate was $39,761.74, there
being 1884 persons in paid St
tendance.

Paige is pitcher for the Pitts"
burgh Crawfords, one Of the most
feared contenders in the leagues
tense race.
He will take the mound for the
Crawfords in that double-header
at Griffith Stadium tomorrow
which will find four teams play
ing for championship laurels.
The Crawfords open the days
activities by meeting the Philadel-
phia Stars at 1870 o'clock. Clos
ing the twin bill will be a game
between the New York Black
Yankees and the Homestead GrayS
at 4 p. m.
There's an unusual story about
Satchel Paige. The House of d.
vid team was playing in a series
for the Denver Post Semipro base
ball championship this summer.
They needed pitcher and Dor
rowed Paige from the CrawfordS.
OF course, Satchel had to wear
whiskers.
Putting on false ones, the young
pitcher became the sensation Of
the tournament by hurting and
winning four games in five days.
The House of Davlds won the
tournament.
Although it may be surprising
with the world series taking up
most of the spotlight, much inter-
est has been manifest IN tomor-
rows twin bill.
In fact, all through the leagues
schedule great enthusiasm and at
tendance has followed the games,
crowds of 10000 and more having
turned out in New York, Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia.
Tomorrow's double-header will
find the four teams playing for
championship of the league. The
winners in each game will meet
for the title in Brooklyn next
week.
