Veteran John S. Burdick scored
a total of 252 points in the three
eighths ounce distance event, and
Harold Smedley. Muskegeon at
torney, came through for two VIC
tories in the fly casting games.
Although Burdick won on the
basis of his average. the honor Of
the longest cast in the tournament
went 10 Paul Ufer OF Toledo with
a mark of $40 feet in the FIVE
eighths ounce distance and 260
feet in the three-eighths ounce
events.
Smedley scored 81 points to top
the large field in both dry and
wet fly events. Everett Karlene
of Toledo won the distance fly
contest with an average of 1915
feet, his longest cast measuring
134 feet. Karlene also took the
salmon fly distance event with
1855 feet.
The meet which attracted cast

CONNOLLY EVENS

Connolly finally squared the
match with a perfect par 4 on No.

bounds. Even coming 10 No 18.
Kocsis saved the day for his side
with a mighty second Of close 10
200 yards from a trap. Connolly,
short of the green with two power
full woods, was wide with his runup
and he and Chuck halved 1t in
fives.
Kocsis got a good break on the
first extra hole. Playing his third
from trap, he hit the pin. Other
wise his ball would have gone over
the green. The hole was halved
in fiVeS.

DO 1T WITH MIRRORS

The second game was the other
way round. Luman Harris
yielded the Tigers but five hits,
no two of which came in a single
inning. Only two Tigers reached
second base. On the other hand
the Athletics sprayed the field
with IA hits. How they kept from
scoring more than three runs was
not explained. It's a trick only
the As could achieve. Mirrors,
probably.
Dick Siebert knocked home the
first run. Dee Miles scored the
second after Doc Cramer made
catch off johnson in deep center.
And Kreevich, the little devil,
batted home Davis with the third
marker. oh, yes, 10 of the Tiger
hits came off Paul Trout, who
pitched seven frames. and the
other four off Hal White, who
finished after Paul had been lifted
for a pinch-hitter. The pinch
hitter was Charley Gehringer--
who got a hit. But the hit was
wasted.
The Tigers will resume their
regular league schedule against
the Browns in a twilight game at
Briggs Stadium Wednesday eve
ming. This contest will start at 6
O'Clock.
