July 1& —fU.R) The wizard) that Walter Hagen has perfected In bis long years of i competition again had 'mini’ to the i fore to make him a champion. Before Hl.Out) persons. Hagen i drove and putted his way over the ' Mississauga golf course yesterday, lifted th? ball from treacherous Dies and showed an amazing golf perfection to defeat Percy Alliss, British professional, in the 36-hole i playoff for the Canadian open golf I i hampionship. Hagt u had to be a ‘star to win. 11“ shot a dazzling G 8 on the last IS. four under par. and then was able to win by only one stroke, the final score for the 3G holes beinrf Hagen 141 and Alliss 112. They finished the regular round Saturday with 252 apiece. It was the kind of a match that Hagen likes. He was Hie under dog from the minute the first hole "as play ■(!. Nothin': worked at the start of that match and Alliss. the ! Britisher who is professional at a l Berlin club, player perfect golf to 1.0 three strokes ahead at the end I of the first four holes. From then on Hagen fought. ! His wood strokes cracked out safe I 250 ami 2GO yards down the fairway. His irons rang true. His putter acted well, occasionally I Hagen slipped from grace and got into a rough, a trap or the water. But he cam back after every such ' ■ hole. A man of lesser steel would have collapsed under Alliss' relentless birdies, pars and even an eagle. Hagen saw a two stroke advantage vanish in tlje afternoon when the match neared a close. They played even. Then on the | long seventeenth. Hagen placed his second firmly on the green and traced a pretty putt home for a , birdie and the one stroke advantli which he won the match.
