DETROIT, July 15.-For the

be new Michigan women's golf
champion as successor to diminutive

Mrs. Weiss, trying to make 1t
four straight and five titles in

ture probably an invitation high

the hunter show of America.
The National Horse Show will be
held this year but as d one-day
affair. This wartime edition is

Worsham Now Eyeinq
A||-America Instead
Of Maryland Open
Rich Purse Apt to Lure
Stor Burning Tree Pro
To Chicago Tourney

The Mr.. Big Of contemporary
professional golf in this sector in
all probability won't be around
when the crack pro and amateur
linksmen start shooting next week
for the Maryland Open champion
ship.
Lewis E. Worsham. jr., Burning
Tree professional, who has won two
of the three pro-amateur affairs
staged by the Maryland State Golf
Association this year, has about
made up his mind to shoot at bigger
game than the State title. The
Maryland tourney will be played at
Prince Georges Golf and Country
Club, July 21. The All-America
tourney, biggest Of the year, with
SIS 600 in the pot, starts at Chicago,
July u. Lew figures he couldn't
play in both and has about decided
to pass up the Maryland event in
favor Of the long trek to Chicago
and a whirl at the big dough.
Worsham. Of course, is ready for
the big time. probably the top play
ing pro in this sector, although some
will dispute that. Last year he won
the Baltimore Open championship
and around $500 cash in prizes.
This year, although the tournaments
are fewer, he may make as much
or more. Already he has made a
good start in the little pro-am
Journeys.
Worsham could get an early start
in the Maryland Open and catch a
late afternoon train on July 81, ar
irving in Chicago the next day In
time to qualify for the All-America
affair. But that wouldn't give him
a chance to practice over the Tam
O'Shanter course, locate the hazards
and get wise to the tricks OF the
greens.
So now it seems he will pass up
the Maryland tourney In favor OF a
crack at the big dough at Chicago.
First money in the Maryland open
is 500 and the rest Of the field won't
be sorry If Worsham doesn't play.
He would be a favorite to win.

Byrne Of Bears Scars
As Pitcher in Third
Season in League
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
To many persons left-handed
pitchers are eccentric, but if there
is anything eccentric about Tommie
Byrne Of the Newark Bears it Is a
secret to the other clubs in the
International League.
This is Byrne's third season in
the league, as he came direct from
the Wake Forest campus in 1910
to appear in 16 games, winning 2
and losing S. He improved last
season, winning 10 and losing 7, but
this year he has annexed II games.
Byrne's only fault seems to be
sudden flurries of wildness With
the help Of Frank Kelleher, who hit
his Goth and 21st homers of the
campaign, and Aaron Robinson,
who walloped his 14th, Byrne de-
feated the Baltimore Orioles, So,
last night. He turned in four-hit
job but issued six walks, three of
them coming in the first inning
He pitched scoreless ball, however,
after the second frame.

Leone, kampfer End
Social Friendship
For Mat Battle

A couple of rare characters, two
wrestlers who never before have
met-except socially-will be on ex-
hibition tonight at Turner's Arena,
where the herd Is making its weekly
one-night stand.
Michele Leone and Hans Kampfer
are the boys in question, and how
they ever avoided one another so
long is one Of the games deepest
mysteries, although Promoter Joe
Turner has a keen idea on the mat
ter.
II guess they never were
matched" he theorized.
A lot of interest has been
whipped up in the tandem tussle
involving Maurice La Chappelle and
John Melas on one side and AL
Norcus and Angelo Savoldi on the
other, but this Is not to say the
singles will be dull and uninterest-
ing.
Bibber Mccoy will tangle with
Fred Grobmier, modestly described
as the mighty oak from st. Louis, "
while Johnny Long and Jim Austeri
will manufacture the other engage
ment.
