Tha foursome had a lead over its nearest rival of meven strokes. Jones was the Bobby Jones of the match. He came through with a score of 75 while his mates seemed to be out for exercise alone. Haw- kins, Loomis and Hall swung clubs but Loule did the scoring and all the work. The trio had big handicaps which helped them come through with de- cent scores, but Loufe, besides hav- ing a low handicap, also had sup- Iporters who are accused of having |fallen arches and as everyone knows, a malady of this kind is worse on a golf course than Val Flood's traps.

She has no lost motion such as sizing up the ball and wig-wag- ging her club before taking off. She merely walks up, aims and shoots far, straight and true. It would be hard to beat her drives and the rest of her game yesterday was equal to her first shots. Wednesday morning the caddies at the club will battle again in the sec- ond of the caddy tourneys of the vear. Eddie, winner of the first tourney, is all set to defend his laurels but the appearance of the short course in the rear of the cad- dy house attests to the fact that he is going to have some tough opposi- tion.

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team scored the first knockout in the serles for the city semi-pro baseball championship yesterday at St Mary's fleld when it took the initial game from the Falcons by the score of 5 to 3. The contest was a bitterly fought battle and was marked by hard hitting, good pitch- ing, spectacular flelding and a row | over a decision by Umpire Crowley | that almost ended the game. Since Jack Dempsey was credited with a knockout victory over Jack Sharkey, there has been an unend- | ing argument over the question of whether the finishing blow was fair or foul. After yesterday's game, these arguments will be forgotten in ithe battle of words between the fans who saw yesterday's game as to whether Umpire Crowley ruled rightly or wrongly in the fifth in- | ning. The situation in brief was this: |Jimmy Green was on third and |Lolos was on first with two out. |Lolos started for second with the ipitch and Orifice threw to Patrus {Green set his heels flying for home, | Patrus threw nicely to Orifice byt he |dropped the ball as Green slid in with the run that made the score three to two in favor of the Red Sox.
