However, McLarninS pilot, Pop
Foster, said he would not accept
such a match until he had an
agreement with the boxing commits
sion regarding appointment of ref
erees. Pop believes Jimmy got the
works" when Referee Eddie Forbes
settled the judges disagreement by
awarding the verdict to Ross after
penalizing Jimmy five rounds for
low blows.
Foster wants the commission to
name five referees agreeable to him
and Barney's managers. Then the
commission can pick one Of them to
officiate.
Ross is not satisfied with being a
double champion, or triple cham
pion if the Junior lightweight title
is included. This synthetic title is
not recognized in New York state.
He wants to add the world middle
weight crown to his collection.
Barney is confident that he can
beat Vince Dundee, the Newark
italian, who holds the 160-pound
bonnet. He admits he might have
plenty of trouble with some middle
weights, but figures Dundee's style
would be to his liking.
The boxing commission will de-
eide this week whether Ross must
defend his lightweight title against
Frankie Kick of San Francisco
within ninety DAYS. Barney pledged
himself to such a defense before
signing for the McLarnin bout. The
commission also will rule whether
his welterweight crown also would
be at stake in a 135-pound cham
pionship contest.
Ross and his managers are not
concerned over Barney's suspension
by the National Boxing Association
for his failure to go through with
a bout against Tony Herrera at FIT.

MFRS. CARL H. McCASKEY of
WI Highland, president of the In
diana Women's Golf Association,
today mailed out posters, tourna-
ment programs and new year books.
The tournament coming up this
year is the thirteenth annual asso-
citation affair and it will begin on
Monday, July 9, and end on Friday,
July IS. Imagine GROWING a golf
champ on Friday the 18th!
When Elizabeth received her mail
and noted all the "thirteens" at
tached to the event she Immediate
ly began to wonder if this was a
LINK" year. Could some huke hap
pening be in the offing to spell her
downfall? If you do not know it,
Elizabeth is superstitious. Walking
down the fairway in any important
match she is constantly on the
alert for four-leaf cloverS.
Il Il
MISS DUNN has many little
wi habits in connection with her
golf game that she would not think
of changing, simply because of the
superstition attached. But that is
not unlike many other stars of the
athletic world. A baseball player
who is in the midst Of a batting
streak sometimes refuses to change
socks, pays strict attention that he
always gets the same stocking on
the same leg for each game. To
change anything would be to
change the luck, they reason.
Race drivers, football players and
other athletes frequently carry
rabbits feet. Harry Kipke, famous
coach of the Michigan football
team, wears the same brown suit,
shoes, hat and tie at every game,
and so impressed is he that luck
is attached to that ensemble that
he wears it only on game days and
places it in the moth balls as soon
as the season is over.

IA faced with the problem of de-

thirteenth. Of course, it is not nee
essary that she wade through the
qualification, because as defending
champion, she can automatically
claim No. position in the match
play pairing bracket. But if she
wants to take a chance on winning
the medalist prize, which always is
beauty, then she must gamble her
chances on qualifying.
Next, she must wade through the
first, quarter-fnal and semi-flnal
matches before she reaches the final
match on the new all-famous day
But once she is in the final match
she will be guarding against al
the "jinx" elements. If you happen
to be around the course that day
just try to get her to walk under a
ladder. See what happens if black
cat crosses her path, or any of the
other pet superstitions take place.
Of course, we can not forecast
who will be the other likely con-
testant in the final match. We

Boston beat the Phillies, 6 to 4,
aided by a four-run squirt in the
seventh and triple play in the
second. 1t was the first triple play
made by the Braves at Boston in
seven years. Jeffries lined to pitch
er Farmhouse with runners on first
and second. Farmhouse threw to
Jordan for the double and Urbanski
caught Jordan's throw to retire the
side.
Farmhouse registered his seventh
win against one defeat, although re-
placed by Cantwell n the ninth.
UrbanSki and Whitney made BOs-
ton homers, and Wilson contributed
one for the Phils. They were the
only National League games sched-
uled
In the American Circuit, the Red
Sox wrested sixth place from the
Athletics by beating them 2 to 1
in a game called after the seventh
because of rain. Johnny WEIGH
limited the AS to two hits, one Of
which was Bob Johnson's homer in
the first Singles by Larry, WEIGH
and Werber accounted for the win
ming Red SoX tally in the fifth.
Leading Cleveland club BANKED
the White Sox, to 0, behind Mel
Harder's fiVe-hit pitching. This
gave Walter Johnson's team nine
wins in their last twelve starts. Hal
Trosky contributed Cleveland
homer in the fourth.
Birthplace st. Louis boosted its
percentage back to 500 by trouncing
Detroit, II to 7. Ray Pepper drove
in five Brownie runs with two
homers and three singles in five
trips. His mate Harland Cliff also
hit for the circuit as did Gehringer,
Goslin and Walker of the Tigers.
No other games were scheduled.

only mention Miss Dunn because
she is defending her title, and natu-
rally is favorite, but it is safe to
say that whoever. wins the 1894
state title will say, st always knew
that thirteen was my lucky num-
ber," while the loser is sure to be-
moan the fact that she had to play
for the state title on Friday, the
thirteenth.
NTHERWISE, the program
" mailed out by Mrs. McCaskey
is about as usual. The eighteen
hole qualification test will be played
on Monday morning, beginning at
$50. The officers, who, besides
Mrs. McCaskey, are Miss Helen
Benbridge of Terre Haute, vice
president; Miss Mary Livengood,
South Bend, secretary and treas
urer, and Mrs. K. T. Knode, South
Bend Country Club, corresponding
secretary for the tournaments, have
such hopes of a record field that
they are purchasing prizes and
planning for seven flights. Clubs
that have four players in the quail
fcation test can compete for the
special team championship and
prize.
The annual business meeting will
be held on Monday night in con-
junction with the annual dinner
instead Of on Tuesday afternoon,
which has been left vacant on the
program with suggestion, "Try
the club swimming pool"
XXTHEN players lose they drop
w into consolation flights, and
with the championship flights will
play eighteen-hole rounds each day
in the morning. A putting contest
will be held at the completion of
the matches on Wednesday. A
mixed handicap foursome tourna-
ment will be played on Thursday
afternoon. The finals in all flights
will be played at 8 a. m. Friday
with the championship match
scheduled for $50.
The course will be open one week
before the tournament for practice,
and players who belong to clubs in
good standing with the association
can play that week without greens
