SARAZENWINS GOLFTOIffiNEY Gene Sarazen Wins $3,000 First Prize In Chicago Tourney Chicago. July 26— (U.R) -Gene Sarazen, one of the toughest front runners In the game, carried off | the season’s richest medal play purse today for letting the field beat itself trying Io catch up with ' him in the SIO,OOO Chicago open I golf tournament. | Last to fall was the redoubtable Harry Cooper, who staggered In | with a seven and a six on his list nine when even pars would have captured the $3,000 first prize. Even with two miserable holes coming home through the dusk. Cooper muffed a third chance to tie Sarazen’s leisurely 290 by pulling his tee shot short of the 71st green taking a bogey four where a pur meant a chance to tie. Coupled with Cooper in second place at 291 were Ky Laffoon and Horton Smith of Chicago. who ' blew themselves out of the picture with bad nine-hole sequences. Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y., jumped into fifth place with I the lowest round of the tourna ment, a 69. which gave him 292 | for the 72 holes. Sarazen’s three-day card was packed with brilliant recoveries and hard shots made to look °asy, but not one of the four rounds pro- ; duced an exceptional score. He was seven over par for Medina!* Country (Tub's tournament course. BATTING LEADERS Player Club GABR II Pct.
