Detroit, Aug. 26.—Mrs. Melvin | Jones, former city champion of Chi- cago, carried off low score honors in the qualifying round of the women's Western Golf association’s tournament at the Detroit Golf club yesterday, making the 18 holes in 89, Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson, also of Chicago, thrice former national champion, was second, with 91. The first six positions went to Chi- cago players, and 19 of the 32 who qualified for the championship event are from that city. Except for the three or four lowest scores the cards weré much higher than usual because of a strong wind which swept the links all day and the exacting trapping of the caurse. ‘With few exceptions all of the fa- vorites qualified for the championship match play, the first round of which was played today. Among the upsets was the failure of Miss Lucille Dessen- berg of Kalamazoo, Mich., the present title holder, to place in the champion- ship fight. “EX-PLAYERS BAD UMPIRES.” ‘“Wwild Bill” Donovan Declares They | Malke Up Minds Too Hastily. Baseball players do not make good umpires, according to the deductions of “Wild Bill” Donovan, former Yan- kee manager, and now pilot of the Jersey team in the International league. Donovan gives these reasons for his declaration: “The ex-player a bad umpire be- cause he is always figuring plays out before they are completed. He knows what ought to happen on certain kinds of hits or in certain situations. And he makes up his mind in advance on his decisions. “He cannot help this. always thinking ahead of the pla: This is so even if he is sitting on the bench watching the game. “When a veteran player gets to be an umpire, therefore, he cannot be e pected to change his complete base- ball thinking process. He cannot do so. And he is invariably a bad um- pire. “It is a mistake to make umpires out of veteran players. Young men should be secured. When they get on in years they should be replaced as ball players are. “Under the present scheme of things the umpiring in the major A player is | leagues is mediocre. T'll bet there are not five umpires on the combined staffs of the National and ‘American leagues who can read a newspaper without' wearing eyeglasses.” SPEEDY HILLIES I ARE LEAGUE LEADERS Boosters Lose a 4 to 1 Game o, Home Grounds 1 | Worcester, Aug. 26.—Displaying the | same vim that won them the Fastern | league pennant in 1919 while wearing the New London colors under the | leadership of Jack Flynn, the Pitts- | fleld Hillies shot into first place in the Eastern league pennant race here terday, defeating the \Worcester Boost- ers, 4 to 1. Fred Reiger started and finished on the mound for the Berk- | shire aggregation. Ired had every- thing on the ball, and when he did | approach dangerous ground, the bril- liant fielding of his comrades pulled him through. With the stick the Hil- | lies' twirler batted for 1000, getting two hits out of that many appearances | at the plate. Lindstrom, who opened for f{he Boosters, did not fare so well. Two | doubles, a single and a walk off him | in the secand permitted two runs, and in the third the visitors tallied one more. Manager k Mack of the! locals derricked Lindstrom in the fourth for Keifer, who up to the ninth inning had smooth sailing.
