Hagen’s Sub -Par Golf Beats Alliss in Open Walter Snags Birdie on Seventeenth After Uphill Battle to Hold One Stroke Edge Over Briton in Canadian Playoff. BY L. S. CAMERON United Press Sports Editor TORONTO, Ontario. July 15.—The wizardy that Walter Hagen has perfected in his long years of competition again has come to the fore to make him a champion. Before 10,000 persons, Hagen drove and putted his way over the

Mississauga golf course Tuesday, lifted the ball from treacherous lies and showed an amazing golf perfection to defeat Percy Alliss, British professional, in the thirty-six-hole playoff for the Canadian open golf championship. Hagen had to be a star to win. He shot a dazzling 68 on the last eighteen, four under par, and then was able to win by only one stroke, the final score for the thirty-six holes being: Hagen, 141, and Alliss, 142. They finished the regular- round Saturday with 282 apiece. It was the kind of a match that Hagen likes. He was the under dog from the minute the first hole was played. Nothing worked at the start of that match, and Alliss, the Britisher, w'ho is professional at a Berlin club, played perfect golf to be three strokes ahead at the end of the first four holes. *

j

Hagen

rom on ** a S cn fought. His wood strokes cracked out safe S0 and 260 yards down the fairway. His irons rang true. His putter ctefl well. Occasionally Hagen slipped from grace and got into a tough, a trap or the water. But he came back after every such hole.

A man of lesser steel would have collapsed under Alliss’ relentless birdies, pars and even an eagle. Hagen saw a two-stroke advantage vanish in the afternoon when the match neared a close. They played even. Then on the long seventeenth. Hagen placed his second firmly on the green and traced a pretty putt home for a birdie and the one-stroke advantage with which he won the match.

Cox Maintains Swift Pace and Flattens Veteran Smith

Throwing punches with the power of a welterweight, Indianapolis’ Junior lightweight contender, Tracy Cox, beat down Steve Smith in the main go at Ft. Harrison Tuesday night and the New England veteran absorbed so much violent punishment in the sixth round that he was down at the bell and was unable to continue. He was hurt and groggy and Cox was credited with a knockout. Smith tried hard to make a fight of it and at times bothered Cox, but not often because he could not hit hard enough to disturb the charging Brightwood mauler. Tracy has reached that stage where he chills opponents with either hand and he chilled Smith as early as DUTRA AHEAD IN OPEN Olin Paces Field in Pennsylvania Title Play. By Unit'd Press PHILADELPHIA.

the closing seconds of the first round. Weights were announced as 129 for Tracy and 131 for Smith; When Smith finally worked out a fairly effective defense for blows to the jaw, Cox switched his attack to the body and his power house wallops to the heart, mid section and ribs eventually weakened the visitor. Steve’s best round was the fifth when he rallied and threw a cluster of gloves, but Cox put on the speed again in the sixth and overpowered his foe. Smith displayed a neat left hand when it was possible to land with it. The seml-wlndup between Bud Clarke, Vincennes featherweight. and Scotty Scotten, Indianapolis, was a dandy for action and excitement throughout the eight rounds, the Judges’ ringside verdict going to Clark who was the crowd’s favorite in the wav of getting the bulk of the cheers.

Indianapolis summer swimming program is in charge of Francis T.

NOVARRO HAS NEW ‘LEADING LADY’ NOW Madge Evans Leaves the Stage to Play Chief Feminine Role in ‘Son of India,’ Due Saturday at Palace. # IT IS doubtful if there has ever been a more tumultuous entrance into a motion picture studio than that made by Madge Evans, blonde Broadway star, who was selected to play Ramon Novarro’s leading lady in “Son of India,” which opens Saturday at the Palace. Miss Evans left Philadelphia two hours after completing a stage engagement in “Philip Goes Forth,” in which she made a tremendous hit during its long New York run. She arrived in Los Angeles at 5:15 one evening, was placed in a fast car with a police escort and was speaking her first word into a talkie “mike” at 6 p. m. sharp!

The reason for all the hurry was that, after a long search for the proper type, Director Jacques Feyder was shown a test of Miss Evans. “We’ll start the picture and take scenes without her until she arrives,” he said. The schedule-makers on the production figured so closely that Miss Evans was wired to have her dinner on the train before her arrival. This slender young girl, still In her teens, is a picture veteran. She was a child star with Montague Love in the old film days. For the last six years, however, she has been a Broadway favorite. In “Son of India” she is seen opposite Novarro as a young English girl loved by him—a wealthy Indian jewel merchant. How they struggle against the bounds of convention and race—to achieve happiness in their love, is told in the dramatic story. The cast includes, besides Novarro and Miss Evans, Marjorie Rambeau, John Miljan, Conrad Nagel, C. Aubrey Smith and Nigel de Brulier. An extra fun treat will also be shown at the Palace in the newest all-talking comedy of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy entitled “Our Wife,” in which these two hilarious comedians both marry the same girl. A Grantland Rice sportlight novelty titled “The Blue Grass King” and the latest issue of the Hearst Metrotone News will round out the bill. St St SS Indianapolis theaters today offer: Brooke Johns at the Indiana, “Vice Squad” at the Ohio, “Their Mad Moment” at the Apollo, “The Man in Possession” at the Palace, Bradley Kincaid at the Circle, “Petticoat Influence” at English’s, SchmelingStribling fight at the Terminal, and burlesque at the Mutual. Baby Killed By Times Special MODOC, Ind., July 15. Betty Bales, 10 months old, was killed when thrown from an automobile driven by her father, Ralph Bales. A rear wheel crushed her chest.
