WACOAN GOLF
CHAMPION IN
WOMAN’S MEET
Playing Game Worthy
of Any Golfer Mr*.
Magruder Best* Mrs.
Scott 1924 Champ
(By The Associated Tress.)
GALVESTON Texas. April I*». —
Gourage and confidence in her shots
worthy of any golfer man or woman
today carried Mrs. L W. Magruder
of Waco to the state golf champion-
ship.
Sho triumphed 12 up and 11 to
play over Mrs. Rufus Fenner Scott
Jr. of Paris 11*24 champion. The
match ended on the 25th green when
Mrs. Scott missed a 10 foot putt for
a win. A remarkable niblick shot
from a muddy trap that placed her |
within 10 feet of the cup in four al-
lowed Mrs. Magruder to half this
hole.
Eight up at the end of the morn-
ing’s round of 18 holes. Mrs. Magru-
der won the first five holes of the
afternoon’s competition. Mrs. Scott
postponed the inevitable by sinking
an eight foot putt to win the 24th
and two beautiful midiron strokes
placed her in position to win the
25th; hut the miraculous recovery
from the trap by Mrs. Magruder end-
ed the one sided struggle.
Form Shows tTp Early
During the morning’s play Mrs. Ma-
gruder showed she is worthy of the
crown which she captured in her
first attempt. One up at the end of
the first eight holes the Waco star
took a six to her rival’s seven on
the ninth. The large gallery and the
players thought Mrs. Magruder was
two up; but umpire Willie Haguire
Houston country club pro-ruled that
Mrs. Magruder had forfeited the
I ninth and squared the match by
smoothing with the hack of her hand
the putting green preparatory to run-
ning up a 20 foot putt dead to the
pin.
Accepting the penalty with a good
natured laugh because of her costly
forgetfulness. Mrs. Magruder start-
ing with the tenth hole hit out on
her shots with a power and accuracy
that cracked Mrs. Scott’s game none
too steady at the start. The first
eight holes of the second nine wc~c
won by Mrs. Magruder and she halved

Central Press Sports Editor.
It can be stated definitely now
that the Giant infield quartette for
the opening number of the 1926 sing-
ing festival in the National league
will be composed of George Kelly at
first Frank Frisch at second Trnvis
Jackson at shot and Freddy Lind-
strom at third. Despite the asser-
tions of the inimitable Heinie Groh
that his naughty knee has promised
to be good and that his old legs
are ready to pound the infield soil
for another six months McGraw has
made it plain that he prefers to start
—and hopes to finish—with the
younger combination.
This idea if it works out should
please Frankie Frisch who has moved
ack and forth between second and
third like a shuttle on a sewing ma-
chine. •
And the odd part of it is that while
McGraw has been using the young
and energetic captain wherever ne-
cessity demanded Frankie has spent
little time at his original positions—
I that of shortstop. •
It was iti ti hortfield that Frank
drew the at'rniion of big league
critics while wi h Fordham univer-
sity. “The Fc -dh.-im Flash.” they
called him. 1 e »as graduated in the
summer of 911 and stepped right
from the commencement platform to
second base at the Polo Grounds. He
got a tryaut at that «ack before the
1919 season onded but the following
March M' Graw itarted him at third.
McGraw was s till “monkeying" with
his infield how er. and decided that
Goldie Ripp of >t Cinei Reds would
I help him sc is problem. When
Rapp repor *isch was moved
back to se nd Goldie took a
Rapp at tht d basing job. He
failed to co i * to McGraw’s hopes
however a !• illy drifted out of
the scheme f ngs.
While tr. i o figure out some
other idea V raw moved Frisch
back to th r . i hen the Giant boss

display of '* s by John. Groh's

the ninth. In accomplishing this ex-
traordinary feat she ran up a string
of four pars-on a water logged
eet*raM>* where inaccuracy meant ac-
quaintance with rain filed traps.
Ixi«rr Hade Hard Fight
Mrs. Scott who never stopped f’ght-
ing though her game was hopelessly
off color hooked or sliced many of
her shots. Her play was in sad con-
trast with her brilliant shot making
of Friday when she eliminated in the
semi-finals Mrs. John II. Lapham of
San Antonio the overwhelming favor-
ite to cop the championship. Close
to 200 spectators in the afternoon
braved the discomfort of wet feet to
follow the golfers. Practically all
were hoping Mrs. Scott would be able
to stage a miraculous recovery for
it was as Miss Priscilla Rogers of
Galveston that Mrs. Scott first won
links recognition; but it was agreed
at the end that Mrs. Magruder had
well established her right to preside
over Texas golf circles for a year.
The husbands of the new cham-
pion and of the runner up were both
here but under strict orders from
their wives neither Mr. Magruder
or Mr. Scott followed the champion-
ship tilt.
Trophies were presented at an ela-
borate tea shortly after the conclu-
sion of the title deciding match.

Hcinic's trick knee and other exi-
gencies forced M:(»raw at times to
rejigger his infield combinations af-
ter lleinie’s coming. Last year Frank
divided his time among all three
positions. The development of Fred-
dy Lindstrom into a capable third
baseman has now caused McGraw to
settle the second basin? job on
Frankie permanently it is believed.
Whcrefor is Frank happy.
He was rated at third base as on"
of the best in theb usiness. His field-
ing ranked with the best of them.
He may lack a little finesse around
second base but the prime ooject
of a second baseman after all. is to
stop the largest percentage of base-
balls headed his way with a base
ticket attached. Give Frisch credit.
He gets them. You may laugh oe-
casionally at the position Mr. Friseh
finds himself in nfter stopping one.
but nevertheless he has placed him-
self securely between the bal and
freedvm.
The relegation of Groh to the
bench for a time at least doesn’t
eliminate the trick knees from the
lineup however. Travis Jackton suf-
fered an injury to one of his al-
lotted two last season and has had
to favor it so far. He believes how-
ever tht it will he shipshape by
the time the regular season opens.

Local fans who have watched the
hoys train daily at the fire station
are evenly divided in their opinions
as to which of the battlers will win.
Some are strong for Dillon as the
cowbcy is a shifty boxer with a ter-
rific punch in either hand. Others
who have seen the rugged Walters
train declare he hits even harder
than Dillon and each man will have
his following of admirers when the
fight starts.
Promoter "Guy” Tu'pin says that
he ha* several preliminary bouts

is depending upon the battle that
Dillon and Walters put up to re-es-

training "1 am in good shape and
will fight for a knockout from the
opening bell. This is my first fight
down here but I hope to berome a

fans my best work.”
Walters had little to say except
that ho was ir. the best condition of

DUCnrc;$ AND THE WAITER * A PARAMOUNT PICTURE
A millionaire turned waiter—all
for the love of a woman!
This is the intriguing theme of
“The Grand Duchess and the Wait-
er” Paramount's gorgeously produc-
ed celluloid version of Alfred Sav-
oir’s sensational French comedy of
the same name which begins at the
Queen theater today.
Malcolm St. Clair who leaped into
directorial prominence with “Are
Parents People?” and “The 'I rouble
With Wives” is said to have turned
this scintillating story into a fast
and frisky film that maintains u
high-pressure laugh tempo all the
way through and retains every bit of
its original Parisian flavor.
Adolph Menjou. dashing sophisti-
cate of the screen has the perfect
role of the wealthy French Beau
Brumuicl. whose mad infatuation for
the Grand Duchess prompts him to
masquerade as a floor-waiter so that
he can be near her. The role of the I
Duchess is delightfully and charm-
ingly portrayed hy Florence Vidor
who is a vision of naughty loveliness
in her breath-taking Parisian gowns
and new boyish bob.
The locale of the story is of course.
Paris the gay French capital where
*11 thinrs arc possible and there are
no traffic rcgunti«n%. While the
jreat portion of the action takes
place within the walls of n luxurious
hotel there arc several gorgeous
Irenes showing the interior of a mag-
nificent theater while a performance
is being given and a distinguished
audience is looking on. Final scenes
tenter around a quaint colorful road-
house.

Browning’s engagement to Mite
Her nan was confirmed by hie eecrw
tagy on March 31 when it was first
learned that he had been seeing the 1
girl frequently. He refused at that
time cither to confirm or deny It.
Investigations Started
Mis* Meenan however announced
Lheir engagement on April 2 and said
that thev would be married after her
sixteenth hirthday in June. Several H
investigations were started. Tho
children’s society began an inquiry
into Browning's relations with the
Phi Lambda Tau sorority to which
Miss lieenan belonged.
At the same time the police were
investigating an attack on the girl
March 27 when her face and neeh
were burned by acid thrown upon her
as she slept in her mother's apart-
ment. They were unable lo discover
who threw the acid.
Tho society for the prevention of9
cruelty to children ordered Mrs. Hee-
nan and her daughter to appear in
children’s court in an investigation
of the fitness of Mrs. Hccnan as a
guerdian for the girl. The case waa
adjourned for one week on the pre-
sentation of the doctor’s certificate
that Miss Hccnan was unable to leave
her room because cf the burns.
His “First Cinderella”
Miss Hccnan was Browning’s “sec-
ond Cinderella’’. In August 1926. he
had adopted Mary Louise Spas of As-
toria to be a foster sister and play-
mate to Dorothy Sunshine Browning
9. whom he had adopted six years
before.
The adoption was annulled after an
investiga* ion had revealed that Misa
Spas war 21 years old instead of 16
as Browning had at first thought.
