Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, July 7.—Just when it began to look as if they would have to blow up the premises, call out the marines or turn the whole thing over to long-beard-ed scientists interested in perpetual motion, a young, broad-shouldered Pole, who used to work as a puddler in an iron foundry, sank a putt on the one hundred forty-fourth hole at the Inverness course out in Toledo Monday to become the new national open golf champion. As vou insv have heard the vouns: man calls himself Billie Burke, although his sauare name Is Burkowski. and so far as the records show he is the first Pole ever to win any sort of a chamolonshlo In golf. In years gone nv this circumstance might heve created a vast uo-Uftlng of shocked eyebrows among the Scots and the Britons, but the International golf picture, filled as It Is with Italians. Latin Americans, and transplanted Germans, has changed so sharply cf late that the victory of Mr. Burkowskl will be accepted as a matter of course. Once mainly a sport where the Sandy Herds and the Harry Vardons held full sway, golf is now a wide-open, free-for-all with no holds, geographical frontiers or nationalities barred. Besides being the first of his breed to sit among the golfing greats. Mr. Burkowskl today carries the added distinction of having won the longest play-off In tournament history. Deadlocked at the end of seventv-two holes. Mr. Burkowskl proceeded to carry his opponent. George Von Elm. thirtv-six extra holes at an even pace on Sunday. and Monday he stuck with him for another thirtv-six holes before finally ramming home the winning shot. a a a A CASUAL study of the details shows that instead of playing one tournament the two young marathoners played two at the same place, the same time and for the same price. It should be mentioned, however, that it was through no fault of their own that they played all that golf for the same price. Before the first day's nlay-ofT started, both Burkowskl and Von Elm demanded a share of the cate which Is customarily split between the sponsoring golf association and the local golf club. They didn't get It. The golf association knows that It has a orettv good show and Is not dependent upon any particular group of Individuals. Even with Bobby Jones out of the tournament for the first time In years. Interest ran high and business at the box office was brisk. There are scores of important tournaments, but there can be onlv one national open champion and as a marketable commodity in exhibtions. new club contracts and by-product returns this championship is more important to the winner than all the others combined. In the pre-depression days It used to be said that the national open winner could step out and make himself 550.000 before the next tournament, rolled around. Some of the boys, notably Hagen and Farrell, used to do even better. I know of only one champion of modern times who failed to capitalise his victory. That was the dour, colorless Cyril Walker, and the reason why he failed was that he sat back and waited for the world to come to his putting green. For some odd reason the world didn't seem interested. a a a ALL that Mr. Burkowskl got in immediate cash from the golf association was SI,OOO. Compared with what champions in other fields of sport get this seems little enough even when the potential values of the crown are considered. They paid Schmeling SIOO,OOO for beating a second-rate challenger, and they will probably have to pay him three or four times this amount the next time he climbs into the ring. Vet in point of finished skill, experience and preparation the durable Dutchman no more ranks with the new golf champion than a bill board painter does with Rembrandt. Just why this disparity in values should exist I do not know, unless It Is that the paving public attaches a great deal more importance to the business of smashing a nose than a golf ball. I will admit that In most Instances I would much rather watch a right cross whistle through the air than a high arching approach shot, and It may be that this Is a rather general attitude. At the same time the man who received the most spontaneous and lasting ovation at the Cleveland fight was not a fighter, and among the fighters introduced were Jim Corbett. Gene Tunnev and Primo Camera but Bobby Jones, the retired goiter. You mav have missed Jones’ brief talk over the air. It was so neatly turned and had so much more pertinency than anything else that was said that I leel the urge to repeat it here. Stepping upon the ring platform. Jones took the mike, and I said: “I’ve been here Just long enough | to know this Is no place for me.”

CARDINALS PERK UP WHEN LEAD IS THREATENED

St. Louis Again Adds to Short Advantage As Going Becomes Rocky, Street's Champs Bowl Over Cubs in Ninth, With Reserve Power Taking Part: Robins Damaged by Phils. BY LEO H. PETERSEN T7nlted Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 7.—The Cardinals have demonstrated again that they are at their best when the going is the toughest. In true championship style, they have protected their National League leadership against the challenge of the other first division clubs. Only a few days ago St. Louis came to New York for a four-game series with the Giants,- who then were but a game and a half behind the 1930 pennant winners. Although they had lost four out of five to Brooklyn, the Cards braced to get an even break in the series and retain their margin of leadership.

Brooklyn Gets Bout Sharkey, Walker Battle on July 22; Victor May Face Max. By United Press NEW YORK, July 7.—With a bout against Max Schmeling, heavyweight champion, as the probable stake to the winner, Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey have agreed to terms for a fifteen-round bout at Ebbets field, Brooklyn, Wednesday, July 22. The former world’s middleweight title holder and the Boston battler met with James Johnson and representatives of the New York milk fund, who together will promote the fight, late Monday and signed contracts. The New York state athletic commission has indicated it would recognize the winner as the “heavyweight champion.” The New Yovk body “dethroned” Schmeling months ago because of his failure to defend his title within a stipulated time.' Joe Jacobs and Schmeling attended the signing ceremonies. Schmeling left soon afterward to begin his journey to Germany while Jacobs told reporters that although Schmeling has agreed to meet Primo Carnera in September, it was possible the Sharkey-Walker winner would be substituted for the Italian.

THE national open is over and the boys are back home again, this time to get ready for the Indiana open at the Speedway course, Aug. 3, 4 and 5. Indiana was well represented in the big event at Toledo the past week and the performance of Paulsen, Miller and Mclntyre was such to make any Hoosier thrust out his chest with pride. Young Guy Paulsen, the red-haired chan from Ft. Wayne was really one of the sensations of the Toledo event. Out of obscurity the young golfer who never had very much tournament experience, save the winning of the Indiana open back in 1928 and the eastern Indiana open last summer at Marion, blazed right out into the lead last Thursday with a 74 for the first eighteen holes of the national play. Paulsen set there for Quite a while until a auartet of 71’s came In late in the afternoon. also a 72 and a 73. but only three strokes behind the lead and one of the select half dozen gave "Red'’ an advantageous position. a a a However, flashes of golf form by outsiders is not altogether uncommon at any national tournament, so the 74 made by Paulsen was fairly unnoticed as four real outsiders captured the spotlight with their 71's. But when our Quiet and business like young "red head” banged the eutta percha around the course on Friday in 72 strokes, lust one over par. it took a brilliant 69 by George Von Elm to better Paulsen's score of 146 at the halfway mark.

When Gabby Street’s crew lost to Chicago Sunday in the first game of a series, the Cardinals' lead was threatened again. The Giants were only three and one-half games behind, with Brooklyn a half a con- | test in the rear of their Metropolitan rivals, and the Cubs trailing the Robins by half a game. But the Cardinals bore down Monday and displayed the spirit of a champion to come from behind and nose out the Cubs, 6 to 5. The victory enabled St. Louis to increase its leadership to four games over the Giants, whose scheduled contest with Boston was postponed because of ram. Two men were opt and Adam* on base in the ninth inninr when the Cardinals pat on their winninr rally Monday. Collins doubled to score Adams with the tyinr run and counted the deciding tally a moment later on Roettcer’s two-base blow. It took Street’s fine reserve strength to pull the rame out of the fire. Eighteen men. Including five pitchers and fourpinch hitters, saw service for the pace setters. Brooklyn collided with difficulties Monday and its winning streak was punctured just when the team threatened to continue a wild pace. The Robins dropped a 5 to 3 verdict at Philadelphia. Jim Elliott held his former mates to six hits. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati were not scheduled, as the contest had been changed to a later date. There were no changes in the American League standing. The Athletics and Washington. current leaders and runners-up. respectively. battled to a scoreless tie. Their game was called because of rain in the eighth Inning. Watberg had yielded six bits during the abbreviated encounter while the Athletics garnered seven off Hadley, The New York Yankees, carded to meet the Boston Sox were idle because of rain. Cleveland strengthened its hold on fourth place by defeating Detroit. 13 to 4, as Chicago shaded the St. Louis Browns, holders of fifth place. 5 to 3. Vic Frasier was the whole show in the Chicago triumph. He limited the Browns to five hit* and struck out nine.

Guy refused to crack wide open In the third round as many had predicted he would, although the gallery did bother him and he got himself' another 74. much of the credit for keeping him down on earth and away from a balloon ascension being due to Leo Diesel, his playing partner who continually urged Guy to better efforts after a slip. a a a That third round in 74 gave Paulsen a total of 220 for the 54 holes and he was preceded In the parade only by Billie Burke with 219 and George Von Elm with 217. tt tt tt WITH those two stars out in front of him, the pressure no doubt became too terrific for young Paulsen and he cracked wide open in the afternoon final eighteen-hole round. Sand traps and rough, both of which had been little or no trouble to "Red” heretofore, proved his bugaboo. Had he been able to match strokes with Leo Deigel In this round. Deigel finishing with 72. Paulsen would have been in a three-way tie with Burke and Von Elm for the lead. But 39 out and 41 wrecked Paulsen’s chances and the 80 shoved him down to 300 total and thirteenth position. Perkins, being an amateur. Paulsen shared twelfth prize money with Frank Walsh and they took $77.50 each, fair pay at that for a voung fellow playing in his first national open. tt tt a That finish Insures Paulsen of his right to play In the 1932 national open without the Qualifying effort. Maybe he wIU be able to practice ar:dplay more previous to the meet next year. When we asked Paulsen how he felt last Thursday morning before he teed off for the first round he replied: "Haven’t had a chance to play much. Been too busy teaching and trying to make a living.” ’ Padlsen is pro a the Orchard Ridge fee course in Ft. Wayne. He was assistant to Chester Nelson at the Ft. Wayne Country Club for several years before winning the open at French Lick in 1928. The next year he went to Illinois and had charge of a course there until this spring. He was back home on a visit last summer when he heard of the eastern Indiana open and entered with the idea of making vacation expenses. He did by winning the Muncie event. a a a Neal Mclntyre, the heavy hitter from Highland, never was on his game at Toledo. finding trouble getting the range on pitching to the greens and putting badly. He just was off. that's all. a a tt MASSIE MILLER, local boy who has been teaching as a pro down east for several years, also made a good showing playing as an unattached from Indianapolis. Massie has been going his golfing at the Speedway course this season and burning it up. He finished the national with 311, bad second and third rounds boosting his count. Massie made the first eighteen holeu In 75. a very good score. He went higher on the second round with 78 and blew up on the third round with 81. He came back a bit on the last round with 77. The last nine at Inverness had Massle’s goat. Not once did he break 40 on the last nine being 40. 42. 42 and 41 on this I nine for the four rounds. The rough and the traps and blind holes that required a carry of the ditch Just didn't suit Massie and he seemed to fear that nine. * a a Massie Miller, playing unattached from Indianapolis, finished in a tie for seventh In the North Shore open golf tournament in Chicago Monday, six strokes behind the winner.

Billie Burke, or Burkowski, Takes Marathon Golf Title Struggle

BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor TOLEDO, July 7.—The thirtyfifth national open championship "of the United States Golf Association, which will go down in links history as a marathon, was at an end today and Billie Burke, christened Burkowski, a Pole, held the title. Burke played more golf to win the title than any predecessor. A tie for the championship at the end of the stipulated seventy-two holes of play is by no means a rarity, and a tie developed this year.

Goldman Is New Indian Tribe Swaps Montague to Cleveland; Twin Bill on Road Today. Emmett McCann’s Indians were in Milwaukee today to begin their second swing of the season around the western half of the circuit. A double-header was carded for today. The Tribe squad left here at midnight Monday, and before boarding the rattler a player swap was made with the Cleveland Americans. Shortstop Eddie Montague was exchanged for shortstop Jonah Goldman, and the new Indian will join the Hoosiers out on the road. Montague was obtained from Cleveland in the Oral Hildebrand deal, and it is presumed Cleveland will send Eddie to the Pacific Coast League or Southern Association. He was batting .277 when traded. Montague played well enough on the home lot, in the opinion of observers, but apparently slumped on the recent disastrous visits to Columbus, Toledo and Louisville. Jonah Goldman is said to be swift in the field ana on double plays. He has been on the Cleveland roster two years. In 306 times at bat last year he batted .242 and evidently is a shortstop who depends more on fielding skill rather than batting to keep going. Montague hit .263 in 170 times at bat with Cleveland in 1930. However, Goldman had a higher fielding percentage with .945 against .918 for Montague. Goldman saw service at both short and third for Roger Peck’s major league club. He bats righthanded .weighs, 170 and stands 5 feet 7V 2 inches. He is 24 years old. Opening at Milwaukee today, the Indians will remain in enemy territory until July 24, when they will return to Washington park to battle Louisville.

that Bobby Jones had not been a competitor. But there was a great field—Sarazen. Hagen, the Dutras from the coast, overseas stars. Diegel. Armour and many others. The galleries saw some fine golf, but the fireworks of fairway and green did not go off until Von Elm sank a 10-foot putt on the final green to tie with Burke for the championship at 292. The playoff Sunday ended in a tie at 149. After 72 holes. Von Elm had a total of 590 strokes and Burke 589. Burke won the championship with his putter. In the final eighteen holes he had thirty putts against thirty-six for Von Elm. Several other clubs were in Burke’s bag, however, and one of them was his No. 2 iron, which broke thq back of the play-off. Burke's deadly approaches on the first four holes of the final afternoon round placed him in a most advantageous position. The one best shot of the United States open, 1931, was Burke's second to the green on the fourth and final round. He drove over a deep gully and on to an elevated green to lie hole high no more than eighteen inches to the left of the pin. Von Elm was quite unable to cope with a shot like that and from that point on, was never more than even with the Greenwich pro. This was the first time Burke had been in important money in the national. He won the customary SI,OOO for first place and also won $750 extra prize money for the two-day play-off. Von Elm, as second man, got $750 for second place, plus $250 for the extra days.
