this year. while Nichols will be re-
called as the boy who upset the dope
bucket last year when he eliminated
the defending champion, Dick Nc
Creary OF Shortridge.
GONE of the finest prospective
- golfers we have in indianapolis
today are boys who gained their
early links experience playing in In
dianapolis Times tournaments. One
Of the most outstanding is Bill
Heinlein. who twice won The Times
classic while a student at Cathedral
High school
Later Bill went on to win the In
diana State Junior title. the Indian
apolis District Golf Association
championship, the state amateur
championship and last year cap
tured the last of the major titles
possible in Indiana, the State Open
championship.
Last year Bills younger brother,
Louis. won the ninth annual In
disnapolis Times championship, but
he is ineligible this year, having
graduated. In 1888 Dick McCreary
of Shortridge captured The Times
title, but was eliminated last year
before he reached the final round.
Recently Dick captured the Indi-
ana High School Athletic Associa-
ton state tournament over the
Speedway course with 70 and his
low score enabled Shortridge to win
the foM-man team title.

TINE name of Bill Heinlein was
IL mentioned few paragraphs
above. Last Sunday there we're
quite a few who wondered why Bill
was not among the field that quail

playing great golf this year and
might have earned himself a place
among the select six had he tried,
and in fairness to Bill it should be
said that he did not have a chance
to try.

Golfers Association is that a golfer

town store until this year when he
took over the pro duties at Coffin
municipal course. While Bill quail

of the word, still he falls short OF
the P. G. A. requirement. hence

puts on every green, but MasSie

coming in for a 25 total, and IL
