Pro Golf Kings Open Big Match —Independent Netters Start Here Saturday

HAVERS AND SARAZEN IN LINKS BATTLE ON COAST Unofficial Championship of World at Stake as Two Wizards Play First Half of 72-Hole Event, By FRANK A. CLARVOE United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE MERCED COUNTRY CLUB. Cal., Jan. 25.—The unofficial professional golf championship of the world was at stake here today in one of the most important 72-hole two-some matches ever held in the United States.

Gene Sarazen, winner of the American professional championship in 1923. and Arthur Havers, winner of the 1923 British open championship, were matched for the test over the Lake Merced course. Sarazen never has been defeated in an important single-handed match since he won the American open at Skokie in 1922. Last year he won from Walter Hagen in a sensational one-hole final. Havers’ career has been as romantic as that of Sarazen. He came to the front three years ago, slumped in 1922, and then last year performed the feat that made him the golfiing idol of. the “tight little isle." In the face of the stiffest cotnpetion ever figuring in a British open, Havers won at Troon and then to demonstrate it was not an accident, came out on top in the Glen Eves match play championship two weeks later. The British believe this hardliittihg. modest golfer is a fit successor to the great Harry Vardon. Both Sarazenfand Havers started as caddies and fought their way to the top. Today’s play is the first of the match. 18 holes this morning. IS more this afternoon. The second 36 will be played on the Hillcrest Country Club course at Los Angeles Sunday. TOMMY TO START CIO IN API Manager Kane Tells of Plans for Dempsey Go, By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Eddie Kane, manager of Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul heavyweight, today corroborated state ments he had matched Gibbons to f.ght Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, some time next June.

That’s enough for me to be satisfied.”

MILBURNCHOSEN TO LEAD YANKEE PONY POLO TEAM Only Two/Players Sure of Places at Present —Match With British, By HENRY L. FARRELL. United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Deveroux Milburn, world's best pony polo player, in the saddle when he was 11 years oi age and a champion for fifteen wars, will lead the American team that is lo defend the international cup against the British challengers here next September. Only two players are certain of places on the team and they are M'lburn and Tommy Hitchcock Jr., whose plane dropped behind the German lines during the war and who escaped imprisonment by jumping from a speeding train and crawling to Switzerland. The other members of the team are to be picked from J. Watson Webb, Maj. A. H. Wilson, the Army's great est star: Raymond Belmont, Morgan Belmont, Malcolm Stevenson and Robert Strawbridge. These names are more familiar to the society pages than they are to the general sport columns and while it has been announced that two places on the team are open to “all comers" there is little possibility for a plebeian to break in. None but patricians can afford to play polo.
