CHAMPIONSHIP FLIGHT.
H. H. Sielken. Riverside, vs. E. C.
Prange, Riverside.

try club, vs. IV. H. Sparks, Terre

KOKOMO, Ind., Aug. s.—Herman
gielken and E. C. Prange, both of the
Indianapolis Country club, were sched
uled to meet today in the feature match
of the round before the semi-finals 01
the Indiana state amateur golf champion
ship tournament.
Eight players remained on the cham
pionship card at the beginning of today’s
play and three of them were Indianapolis
artists, Johnny Simpson of the Indian
apolis Country club being the third mem
ber of the party from the Hoosier capi
tal still In the fight. He was paired with
Baxter Sparks of Terre Haute and the
general run of Inside information gave
him the odds in the fight.
OTHERS STILL
IN THE RUNNING.
Brownie Vance and Bobby Resener of
Kokomo and YV. C. Kramer of Lafayette
and C. A. Taylor of Laporte were to meet
in the other two matches of today’s
play.
The names of the eight golfers who
stood ready to battle In the champion
ship flight today were not new to In
diana golfing enthusiasts. These men
are all players of repute, men who have
been among the pace setters in Indiana
circles for a number of years and they
are all worthy of their positions.
Expert guessers, not dope dispensers,
today arranged their maps for a final
round Sielken-Slmpson battle Satur
day. The two Indianapolis players are
both on their game, playing steady, re
liable golf and they seeded to be the
class of the field.
The first and second rounds were
played off yesterday, and, while there
were no upsets, there were one or two
surprises.
YOUTH FALLS
IN MATCH PLAY.
Just as Napoleon met his Waterloo, so
did Ainsworth Byms. the Lafayette lad
who had worked wonders in the qualify
ing round play, meet his Sielken. The
youth’s medal play brilliancy was dulled
when he took the course in match play.
He cracked under the strain, and Sielken,
a tried and true veteran, defeated him,
5 and 4. '
Sielken had easy sailing again In the
Becond round, defeating Jones of Logans-
P S*impson had no trouble in eliminating
Barrere and Mossier ' in the first and
second rounds.
The executive committee of the In
diana association met lost night and de
cided that the 1921 championship shall
be held on the Chain Lakes Country club
course of South Bend.
J. C. Patten of Kokomo was elected
president of the organization for the com
ing rear; R. Erskine was elected vice
president, and Jess Mossier accepted the
office of secretary-treasurer for the sixth
successive time.

TIGHT SERIES
ALL THE WAY
IS PREDICTED
Outcome of First Tribe-Miller
Battle Assures More Thrills
for Fans.
HOVLIK BEATS ROGGE
Due to the tight baseball that cropped
out in the series opener between Millers
and Indians yesterday, fans today were
predicting tSat the remainder of the se
ries would see similar games staged.
The Cantilllonltes grabbed the opener,
2 to 1, in one of the flashiest contests
staged at the park this season, and the
fans were held on the Job until the last
man was out in the ninth.
The Millers scored their two markers
off Itogge in the first inning and then
until the ninth no more runs were made.
In the final frame the Hoosiers started
a rally and the fans rallied with them,
only to see hopes die as lienllne filed out
to .Tackson In left field for the game
ending putout, after the home boys had
put one over the pan.
Rehg was on second and Selireiber on
first when Henilne was up in the Mg
pinch and. though Butch tried hard,
be was unable to connect properly sot
a hit that would have tied the count auq
perhaps have won it.
Hovlik pitched a grand article of ball

Rogge also cut in with good pitching
after the opening round, ills best work
coming in the sixth when he turned ttm
Millers back af,er they had filled ths
bases with no one out.
The Tribe’s new hurier. Gaw. was
slated for mound duty in the second
game of the series this afternoon, and
fans who saw him pitch last Saturday
were going to make it a point to get out
for his second start. Gaw has fine action
and Manager llendrickN believes he is
sure to be a Hoosier maiustuy.
The Millers were to be without the
; services of Henri Rondeau, popular out
i fielder, today, and probably for the re
mainder of the season, due to an in
jury the Miller received yesterday.
In the th'rd Inning, after Rondeau had
singled, he attempted to go from first
to third on Wade's single, a nd in sliding
into the base his spikes caught and a
bone in his left ankle snapped. He was
carried from the field, and, according to
; a report from Dr. Day, Indianapolis club
rhyslc'an, It is likely that Henri will
> out of action for the se son.
The Millers started fast yesterdsv
Jackson singled and moved up on I’st**
; sacrifice Rondeau singled, scoring Jack
: son, and Henri went to second on the
i throwin. Wade beat out an infield h't,
sending Rondeau to third, whence he
scorea on Jennings' fielders’ < holee. That
proved the total Miller runs for the after
noon, but it was sufficient.
The Indians' marker in the ninth was
scored by Reilley. He walked, moved
up on Covington's out after .Smith hod
failed and scored on Kehg's hit to center,
fechreiber sent Rehg to second on a hit,
i but both were left by lienllne.
The fielding feature was contributed by
Shortstop Morley Jennings of the
Millers. In the seventh Inning Rehg hit
a terrific liner toward left field. Jen
; nings took a <hau*e and stabbed at it
I with his gloved hand, although the drive
was to his right. The ball stayed In
Morley's mlt, but the force of the drive
i sent Jennings spinning and he turned
a somersault before regarding his bal
ance. It was the most spectacular in
field catch made at the park this season.

Indianapolis Net
Hopes Now Rest on
Johnny and Fritz
Local Women Stars Dropped
From Tristate in First
Round Action.
FT. WAYNE, Ind., Aug. s.—Despite
the fact that the cruel band of fate tore
the chances for tristate tennis cham
pionship honors from the grasp of
Indianapolis women favorites, Mrs. H. S.
Adams, Mrs. I. Watt Pugh and Miss
Bobbie Esch, yesterday, the big Hoosier
city still has a chance to monopolize the
honors of the tournament, as Johnny
Hennessey and Fritz Bastlan, together
with several other Indianapolis stars,
are in there fighting for the men’s honors
and they have more than an even chance
to cop, as far as those net enthusiasts
on deck can see at this time.
RIVALS IN SAME
HALF OF DRAW.
Bastlan and Hennessey, leading light*
among the Indianapolis contingent, are
in the same half of the draw and one of
them will be forced to withdraw before
the final round, but all signs point to the
winner of this match conquering the field.
Then there are the combined forces of
Johnny and Fritz in the doubles compe
tition. It is hardly possible that any
other doubles team around these parts
can stand up under the heavy fire and
tricky work of this famous Indianapolis
duo.
Hennessey and Bastlan have swept
through the early rounds of the meet and
when they clash in their own singles
elimination battle one of the greatest ten
nis exhibitions of the year is sure to de
velop.
There were but four matches to be
played in the men’s singles today. Bast
lan and Jack McKay, both of Indianap
olis. were to clash to determine which
of them shall meet the winner of the
Hennessey-O’Rouke match In the semi
finals tomorrow.
In the lower half of the singles draw
Westbrook was to meet Westenhavcr and
Sigmons was to meet McNangy.
Itastian and Hennessey are almost sure
opponents in the semi-finals, as are
Westbrook and Simmons.
It is hard to say who will be the final
round scrappers, but Westbrook is the
favorite in the lower half and It Is be
lieved that he will have little chance in
the finals against either Bastlan or Hen
nessey.
Jack McKay, who defeated Plogsterth
of Indiana university yesterday, has
bc-en playing exceptional tennis this
ueek and he was expected to give Bas
tiau a tough bit of opposition in their
scrap today.
Three big surprises were sprung in
tfce women’s division yesterday with the
defeat of Miss Esch, western women's
open champion; Mrs. H. S. Adams, Indi
ana state 'and Indianapolis city eham
pion, and Mrs I. Watt Pugh, a famous
Indianapolis player. One of these three
women was expected to represent In
dianapolis in the finals, but they were
ail decidedly off their game in the early
play and fell easy victims to their op
ponents.
