instituted some years ago a competi-
ton for a statue of THE Pioneer
Woman" and had the winning design
executed and erected in Ponca City
entirely at his own expense. The
sculptor of this group (the woman is
seen leading little girl by the hand)
was Bryant Baker, who at one time
had studio in this city and whose
statues of Rodne and Clayton Of Della
ware were placed in the Capitol here
last Summer.
The bust of Andrew Furuseth was
lent by Fremont Older of the San
Francisco Call Bulletin. All this gives
indication of a growing interest of art
throughout the country.

placed on view for the month of March
by the Public Library in its North

in the large reading room above the

effective. Quite a number were done
in Provincetown and of these one Of

one Of Summer Rain" are especially

Of the potentialities of his medium.

to make long strides forward. He may
still go far.

this month to Robert Franklin Gates

Leads
in Finals of
British Golf
Yankee Defender of Title
Is 3 Up at Finish of
First Eighteen.

By tHUcd Press
ST. ANNE'S- ON THE SEA, Eng
land, May 25.-Lawson Little of San
Francisco, holder of the amateur
golf championship on both sides of
the Atlantic, was leading DR.. Will
Tweddell by three up at the end of
the morning round of the British
tourney today. Only small gal
lery was on hand when they teed
off but some 1000 to 5000 were ex-
pected for the afternoon round.
Little wore the same grey seaters
and plus-fours he had worn all
week. TWeddell wore a brown outfit.
Champ Scores 70
The sun was shining brightly but
a strong cross wind was expected to
trouble the contestants.
Little was out in 81 against
Tweddell's 40.
Tweddell. who won the champion
ship in 1927, was repeatedly in the
rough and in bunkers. but his play
around the green's kept him within
striking distance of the burly Cali
fornian.
Each missed par IS by one stroke
coming home, giving Little round
medal of 70 and Tweddell rs.
Seeks Unique Honor
Tweddell thrice, at the eighth,
eleventh and fifteenth became as
much as four down. Two great
puts. one of 20 feet at the thir-
teenth and a curling one of seven
feet at the home green helped the
English physician.
A crowd of several hundred had
gathered by the time the morning
round was nearing an end.
If Little wins he would become the
first man since the turn of the CEN
fury to win in successive years and
would become the first United States
player ever to have twice captured
the title.

Neal Jones Is New
TRIAL Champion

Neal Jones today was recognized
as the new Indiana three cushion
billiard champion after dethroning
Lou Spivey, winner last year, in the
final match of the tourney playoff
series last night. Jones triumphed
by a 50-to-41 margin in the match
at Coolers parlor.
Both contestants played brilliant
~ and the score was deadlocked at
3O-all in the 33d inning before Jones
spurted ahead in the next frame
and led the rest of the way. run

Jones posted his best high run Of
the tourney during the fray, getting
a cluster of 10.
The victor has agreed to defend
his title against Spivey in a 15O-
point challenge match within so
days. Final tournament standings

accomplishment by doing the same
thing to Minneapolis.
Jumbo Jim Elliott, the veteran
southpaw, started on the Tribe
mound last night and nearly put the
contest beyond recall before taken
out. He was wilder than wild. Cliff
ton (Red) Wright warmed up hur-
riedly and went to the rescue. The
! former Indiana University star
turned in the job of a master.
The Greentown product put on
the brakes and proceeded to blank
the Mauling Millers inning after
inning. He was removed for pinch
hitter in the big eighth and Vance
Page pitched the ninth. Elliott is
sued four walks and one hit in one
third inning, Wright held the viSi-
tors to five hits, famed four and
issued three walks in seven and one
third rounds and Page allowed one
blow in one StanZa.
Galehouse looked like winner in
the Miller box until the law Of aver
ages caught up with him in the
eighth. He kept getting out of tight
spots and the Indians had II run
ners left on bases in seven sessions.
In the eighth Sherlock beat out
bunt and Bedore whiStled double
down the right field line. scoring
Sherlock with the Indians first
marker. Riddle singled, Jim Turner
batted for Wright and blasted a
double. Bluege doubled and a long
fly by Cooney also figured in the
scoring. Five runs were chalked up.

double and Marrow took up the
Minneapolis mound toll. 1t was all
over. however Gaffke batted for
Marrow in the ninth. but went
down with Cohen in double play,

was banished. but not before he
convinced Dunn that the wise thing
to do was to consult Umpire Goetz,
who was in a good position to see
the play. This finally was done and
GOetz ruled Cooney safe.
