Skip Alexander Cops Medal In Golf Tourney
ACE CARDS
l43 Low SCORE
Perry Second With AS; l.. 5.
Il. Team Cards COL To Win
Loop Championship

ATHENS, Ca, April II. -P-
Skip Alexander, Duke university'a
slender golfing ace, won medal hon.
ors today for the second consecutive
year in the Southern intercollegiate
golf tournament.
A sizzling four-under-par So on
the afternoon Is holes combined
with a "a on the morning round
gave him 143 for a two-stroke mar.
gin over his team-mate, Tom Perrys
who shot 7S-72-145.
Henry Castillo, long-hitting cap
tain Of the L. S. U. squad, was
third with a card Of 74-7S-147, but
it gave him the Southeastern con.
ference championship as it was the
lowest score of any contender from
that conference. 1t was decided be-
fore today's play to let the 36-hole
qualifying rounds stand for the
Southeastern conference champion
ship. The conference decided to
combine it's meet with the Southern
intercollegiate.
Louisiana State university's crack
foursome of Castillo, Earl Stewart,
Bert Mcdowell and Dale Morey, set
a new record of an aggregate COL
to win both the Southern Intercol-
legiate and Southeastern conference
team championships.
Second to Castillo in Individual
ence were Jimmy Dudley Of the Uni
versity of Georgia, Mcdowell and
Stewart of L. S. y. tied with 1905
apiece.
In team competition, Duke was
close behind L.. S. U. with an ag.
gregate 604 strokes. Michigan's en-
tries took 618 for third place in the
Southern. Georgia's team required
621, good for fourth place in the
intercollegiate and second place in
the Southeastern conference compe.
tition.
The Southern intercollegiate tour
nament and the Southeastern tour
nament are played in conjunction
with each other-that is the same
scores made by the golfers count in
each tournament.
Joe Taylor of Duke, the defending
intercollegiate champion. withdrew
from play this morning upon ad-
vice of his physician that the three.
day tournament might require too
much strength hard on the heels Of
a recent operation.
Scores of other teams in the play
were:
Davidson 632, North Carolina 637,
Florida 642, Alabama CAT, The Cit.
adel 648, Vanderbilt 651, Georgia
Tech 655, Hampden-Sydney 663. and
Mississippi STA.
E~ighteen-hole elimination play
starts tomorrow morning and by
night the championship flight will
be reduced to four. The semi-finals
will be played Saturday morning
and the finals Saturday afternoon.

Dizzy Dean, whose status with
Manager Gabby Hartnett of the

best appears a far cry from the Dean

CHICAGO, April IL Up Many
baseball stars who have twlnkled
steadily for more than a decade will
start lodging the shadows of per-
manent eclipse next week when the
major league season comes over its
1910 horizon.
For the first time in Is years the
name of Lou Gehrig will be missing
from the early season lineup OF the
New York Yankees and LOUIS alb
sence may portend a season marked
by the passing of many other once
brilliant veterans who made diamond
headlines before and throughout the

The season may mean "curtains'
for one of the games all-time greats,
Second Baseman Charley G%ehringer
of Detroit. A back injury kept him
out of spring training and Its pos
sible his already has ended.
Without Gehringer the Detroit in
field has looked bad and curiously
enough only the inspired play of an
other veteran, Dick Bartell, has kept
the Tiger inner defense from col
lansing completely.
Bartell will be starting his 18th
season in the majors, determined to
live down a bad season with the
Chicago Cubs in 1889 and regain, to
some extent, the prestige he built up

The Aces have won their four

Lionel Johnson, number one and

Charles Boney, sophomore ace,
will hold down his usual number

come through with his donation to
the cause.
Jerould Robinson, number four,
expects to continue his steady play

Charles Edwards, frosh player,
will take the court in the fifth posi-

FEUD
SETTLED BY WIFE
Mrs. Dean Makes Dizzy Ac-
cept Fine And Join Club
AS 1t Heads For Chicago

ST. LOUIS, April 11.-P-Under
the watchful eye OF his attractive
wife who flourished a figurative
r~olling-pin, Jerome Herman Dizzy
Dean headed for Chicago tonight
still a member of Gabby Hartnett's
Cubs.
AS far as OF Dig was concerned,
his latest troubles with Hartnett-
the result of a 500 fine for break
ing training rules were over, set
tied by Mrs. Dean, his business as
well as spiritual adviser.
The s185,000 hurley. who flew here
from Kansas City this morning to
get her advice-and got plenty of
1t, heard her say:
"Hartnett was absolutely right in
filming Dir. He's going to take the
fine and take it gracefully. Dir did
wrong in staying out, and then just
got mad and blew up. He shouldn't
have done it."
Mrs. Dean declared Dizzy's threat
to quit the club and go on an ex-
hibition tour was a "lot of hooey.'
"He signed with the Cubs and I'm.
til they trade or release him he'll
play ball and do the best he car for
the Cubs" she declared emphatically.
Dizzy, usually a very talkative fel
low, had nothing to say
After arriving here, he retired &c
hic hntn1 rnor, orI Ioo1irnI 4o cae
anyone as Mrs. Dean-"Pat' to her
baseball friends took personal
charge of the situation.
Mrs. Dean, who helped her hus.
band out of many a jam during his
balmier days with the Cardinals
here, commented over the telephone
as OF Dig listened.
Then this afternoon they left by
automobile for Chicago.
The 500 fine against the big
right-hander was for staying out
late at Wichita, Kan. Dean said
he had visited relatives.
"Dizzy realizes he made a mis-
take" asserted his wife. HE just
got mad because Gabby fined him in
front of all the players and base
ball writers.
IF he had done it the usual way
a note in the box-this wouldn't
have happened"
Hartnett, who arrived with the
Cubs in kansas City last night from
Topeka, Kan, while Dean caught a
later train, ordered his hurler to re-
turn to Chicago. Dean refused and
threatened again to go on an ex-
hibition tour.
Previously he boosted he could
make more in three weeks barn
storming than the $4,000 he will
get from the Cubs this year.
Mrs. Dean, after ironing out the
trouble for the time being, at least,
declared:
1--WE want the season to open next
week under pleasant circumstances.
As soon as all this is forgotten, the
better off it will be-"
Thus the chapter is closed as far
as or Dir himself thanks to his
wife, is concerned.
