In the final match of the 1927 Shortridge tournament.* Dick is a fine player. The match also was more or less of continuation of a little dispute between the two l'or a year as to supremacy. Dick and Wenzel were playing in a semi-final match of The Times tourney last June. At the ninth hole, with the match squared, Dick lost a ball. Thoughtlessly he tossed another ball to/the fairway in front of him in/lead of

dropping it over his ' shoulder to the rear. The violation cost the/ hole and the match. Bob Wenzel, a brother of Dick, also lost on a. technicality to Merriam in the semirfinals. lie saw a branch of a tree in the fairway ahead, and allowed his caddy to remove the hefcard.

lation after Bob made a perfect shot to the green. Bob won the hole in actual play, but as the match was square ta the eighteenth green, the award of the decision tp Merriam, on the question at the seventh fairway, gave the latter the match. These two hard luck players back in the field this year. Bob is' entered from Tech and Dick from Shortridge. Dick demonstrated his mettle in the 2 up defeat handed Ewing, and all play was in a blinding rain.

/Title Scrap Arouses Inter*est in New York Ring Circles. CHAMPION HAS TROUBLE Weight Rumored as Scranton Fighter’s Worry, By Henry L. Farrell United Picks Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, June 2.—Pete Latzo, a chunky little fellow from the Pennsylvania coal belt, will give the Baltimore Italian, Joe Dundee, a crack at the welterweight championship Friday night on the Poio Grounds in the first major championship bdut of the season. Latzo was quoted as a six-to-five favorite in the betting today. There is no doubt Latzo and Dundee are the best in the welterweight class and picking a winner is almost a toSs-up. The weight has been Jield up as a handicap that Latzo will have to carry whiles Dundee is recognized as a natural welterweight. Rather tiian nave another “Rosenberg" farce, the New York boxing commission sent a deputy to the. training camps to weigh the fighters. La&o was reported to scale 148 pounds and Dundee 146 i pounds. Both have posted $5,000 forfeits to weigh not more than 147 pounds at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Some of thev smart boxing men feel that Latzo, granting that he will make the weight without using a carving knife, will weaken himself and be unable to do his best against the rangy and rugged Dundee. Even money may prevail in the betting before ring time. Latzo and Dundee are both game, as they have shown any number of times in coming from behind to win. Dundee showed he is nothing of a front runner in his second fight with Roberts and also proved his long jaw is not glass. a 1 , MICHIGAN WINS Hu Timrs Special CHICAGO, June 2.—University of Michigan golfers defeated University of Chicago golf team here Wednesda> , 17 1 a to 6’i.

HAGEN LEADS AMERICANS IN RYDER CUP MATCHES Yankee Golfers Will Pit Youth and Strength Against Britons’ Age and Experience This Week.

By Frank Getty • United Press Stall Urn respondent NEW YORK, June £.—Walter Hagen, bronaed nomad of golf and the game’s greatest match player, has decided to pit youth and strength against age and experience when liis team of American professionals goes to Worcester this week. The wresting of the Ryder Cub from a strong contingent of British golfers Ui two days of match play over the rolling fairways of the picturesque Massachusetts course is the American objective. Eight Youngsters Waving his niblack, Captain Hagen his given the order for the advance behind a barrage of wellaimed golf' balls. He has named eight youngsters to assist him dfcalnst the British pros, whose ages begin' where those of the Americans leave off. The British Ryder Cup team is not composed of doddering old meadow mariners by any means, but its members range in age from

Ted Ray's half century to Aubrev Boomer's “going on thirty.” With the exception of Hagen, who is 35, all the members of the American cup team are under 30. Golf in recent years has gone the way of youth, and when Walter was named to pick a team of pros for the first official Ryder cup contests, he turned a deaf ear to the claims of old timers. I Mike Brady of the Winged Foot, j who still can play golf with the ( best of them, looked like an ancient j mariner beside the youngsters Hai gen selected. Offered a job as alj ternate, Mike refused it indignantly. The Ryder cup matches at Wor-cester—thirty-six holes of singles Friday and thirty-six holes for twohall foursomes Saturday—will be the first official contests for the trophy. When in England last year for the British open and other tournaments, Hagen was asked to get together a team of professionals to compete for tiie team trophy. He found nine American golfers, including himself, and all nine competed in a series of more or less informal matches against the British team of eight men and an alternate. Wipe Away Record The British won, overwhelmingly. But because of the difficulties under which the Americans played at Wentworth, tho sportsmen from the British Isles kept all record of the affair from the shiny surface of the ljig silver cup and are prepared to consider this year's matches as the first on record. If. C. Jolly has arrived to complete the British contingent, replacing Abe Mitchell, who is recovering from an appendicitis operation. The teams will line up at Worcester as follows: BRITISH AMERICAN Ti-d Ray (Capt) Walter Ha;rn iCtpt ) George Duncan Gene Saracen Aiiliri-y limine r .InliliiTy Farrell Ar. lnc Contusion Bill M-hlhofn George Gadd Leo Diegel A.
