Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS
NrEW YORK, April 26 If the I good king of England happen.', m suffer a rrlap r wltlnn the next week or so it may not bo neer >ar; to look far for an explanation. That fellow Hagen is over there again with a jet of golf sticks, and the records show that he has contributed little to the jvace of the sovereign mind in recent years. n ft a He lias M-ored victories in three of their open c hampionships, won innumerable international matches and in other ways conducted himself competitively in a most obnoxious and unwanted manner. a ft a TODAY nt: LEADS A TEAM OF AMERICAN PROFESSIONALS AGAINST A TESM OF BRITISH PROFESSIONALS THIS IS AN EVF.NT NOT WHOLLY WITHOUT INTEREST BUT IT PALES AND SHRINKS IN COMPARISON WITH THE OPEN TOURNAMENT RATTLE THAI LIES AHEAD H AGEN is a bigger figure in Briti h golf than he is in his own country. Over here lie has been overshadowed in the national. He hat n't won since 1019 Most of his spectacular exploits have been reserved for the edification and mi ery of John Bull. B ft ft In (he team mate-lies llagen is enlv euir e>f a performing troupe. In the tournament he will be an individual on his own. And it is n ]n n lie is on bis own that llagrn becomes an extraordinary competitor. ft ft ft IN THIS c-OUNTnV HAGEN WOUI I> VUT RE TUT- FAVORITE TO WIN OVER THE FIELD WHICH WILL BATTLE FOR THE BRIT ISH OPEN. RUT OVER THERE ur is they have bookmakers on SOME OF THE BRITISH COURSES THE SYSTEM OF MITTUEL OR MACHINE BETTING IS USED. ft ft IT is not surprising to hear that Hagen has been made the favorite at 3 to 1. The British sentiment is that the man who heats Hagen will win the championship. Hagen has executed so many remarkable triumphs on foreign fields that he is looked upon as a miracle worker who by a simple twist of the wrist can command birdies and eagles to appear from the depths of traps, bunkers and boglands. nan A fiction lias grown up around Hagen that hr is a grim-jawed, deadly earnest individual who shoulders and blusters his way through all sorts of obstacles. This is not entirely true. He is the Babe Ruth typtO To him, golf is still a game, and he plays it with an enduring zest and enthusiasm. a a a WHETHER A TRAINING TABLE AND A BLAZING AMBITION WOULD HAVE MADE HIM A GREATER GOLFER IS SOMETHING ELSE. THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY NO. THERE ARE FEW KNOWN CARDS THAT WILL TRUMP AN ACE AND HAGEN HAS BEEN THE ACE OF THE PACK FOR A LONG TIME. Kelso Is Head of Junior Loop Ossie Kelso has been elected president of the Em-Roe baseball league, anew organization playing Sunday afternoon ball.

MILLER.
KIWANIS CLUB tournaments were so successful last year that members of the organization thought it w'ould be a wise idea to name Robert F. < Bob) Miller chairman of the golf committee
again this year. The first meet of the season was held at Coffin course Thursday and there was a large turnout, for-ty-seven playing in spite of the rainfall. The entrants were classed in two divisions, A and B, according to their handicaps. Eddie Brackett nosed out Bob Miller for the lead of the class A division by turning

in a card of 86 which gave him a net 68 with an 18 handicap. Miller had a net 73. In Class B Carl S. Wagner took the honors with a net 62. His nearest competitor was Clarence E. Durnell with a net 73. The meet was declared a big success as a season, starter and Brackett and Wagner will be awarded with their trophies at next Wednesday's noon luncheon. ts ft ft Complete scores of the meet were as follows: Group A—Brackett, 68: Bob Miler, 73; Harry Ochiltree, 74: Dr. W. E. Pennington. 76; Dr. Ezra E. Voyles, 78; Fred .1. Ostcrmeyer. 79: Bob Sturm, 78: Ira A. Minnick. 82: R. P. Oblinger. 82: Herman C. .Wolfl. 84; Alvin Ostermeyer, 87, and John R. Curry, 38.

Murphy, 106. a a a The weather was too rough for the women of the newly organized Cogin Club and they postponed their tournament, scheduled for Thursday. Mrs Charles Kelley Jr., president, announced an eight-een-hole handicap play for next Thursday. a a a Another postponement was annauonced today, this time James T. Hamill, chairman of the sports and pastimes committee at Highland, doing the announcing. Hamill states that the “Highland Fling” will be held June 22, instead of May il, as originally announced. a a a In announcing the change, Hamill staged that on May 11. the Highlanders will stage their big opening tournament. Members will be allotted to teams by Neil Mclntyre, pro, at the first tec. The teams will be known as the "Birdies” and the “Pars.” Nassau system of scoring will be used and the losers will pay for the winners’ steak dinner. There will be prizes for the individual low gross and low net scores. a a a IT is doubtful if any course in the city is in as gojd early season shape as Broadmoor. George Soutar, club pro, took us for a jaunt, and the fairways and greens appeared ip mid-season shape. For early tournament play, the district association probably will find Broadmoor one of the best to select from. ft tt ft Cliff Durant, Ken Woolinff, Claude Worley, Mayor Slack, and Art Tiernan played at Highland Thursday and the rain played the part of a good alibi. Worley stated that he was out in front until the last hole where he eased up a bit and allowed Durant and Woolinsr to nose him out by one stroke Os course, we think there is a lot of stuff about the ma‘ . wc failed to hear about.
