Talking It Over

BX JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 27.—A1l the titans of sport have not gone over the hill. There Is. for instance. Gene Sarazen, current holder of the British and American open golf championships. You must list him with the immortals of the game, along with Vardon and Hagen and Jones and the rest of the all-time greats. At the present moment the stockv little ao-vear-old Italian who eoi his start as a caddv up in the Westchester hills unouestionablv is the greatest golfer in the world. Hating him off his 1932 form, it mav be that he never had an eaual Certainly no other golfer ever maved more brilliantly than Sarazen did in winning the British open with a record smashing 283 and repeating three weeks later in the American open with 286. a total eaualled only once in the long hlatorv of the event. This was storybook golf. goll that even Bobbv Jones at his best never surpassed. How would Jones have fared against the Sarazen of 1932? There is no wav of course, but Jones, a spectator at the Fresh Meadow carnival had his own ideas. "**■, looks as if I didn't auit anv too soon he commented. And ,so it does. For this Mussolini of the midiron has tightened up his game to a nolnt where it Dracticallv is error proof. a a o JONES will be remembered as long as golf is played for the grand slam he achieved in 1930. That was the year he won both th British open and amateur and both the American open and amateur. The real test was in winning the two opens. I think it will be generally agreed that Sarazen would have had no difficulty in equaling this accomplishment if he were eligible to play in the amateur tournaments. My personal belief is that it wouldn’t even be close—l am assuming, of course, that there would bo no Jones in the field. nun Sarazen'* finishing performance was the ecstatic stuff of which duffers' dreams are made. .Starting his last round he needed a 68 to win over a hard testing nar 70 course Shooting a 88 at anv time is a supermans assignment. Wjth the national championship hanging in the balance it is an imposibilitv. Except, in this instance, it wasn't. On the contrary, it was very simple, fatazen made it look simnle bv scoring a 66—the lowest round ever scored in the onen. Os all the miracles of sport, this 66. scored undpr pressure in the world's toughest golf test, must rank close to the top. I know of no one in sports with a finer competitive temperament. He is what the hoys call a "money player." When the rhips are down he is most dangerous. A missed shot or a bad round never bothers him. He started the final dav five shots back of the leaders. He had scored a. miserable 76 for his second round. He hadn’t been much better the dav before. shooting a 74. I sat around with him and some of the other plavers in the grill room before he went home to rest for the closing dav assault. He was totally at pase. utterly unconcerned. Someone suggested that five shots was a hlg handicap. "Not If vou don't worry about them." he answered. How little he worried is reflected bv those two finishing rounds which included a run of twenty-eight consecutive holes in 100 strokes or preciselv twelve under even fours.

Sarazen First Pro to Cop British, U. S. Titles

By United Press NEW YORK. June 27.—Gene Sarazen, after nine long years of indifferent success along the world’s golfing trials, has accomplished a feat unique in the history of golf. When Sarazen came out ahead of the field in the United States open Saturday it gave him his second major title of the season and marked the first time that a professional ever has won the British and United States open championships in the same year. Only one amateur ever has turned the trick—Bobby Jones, who back in 1930 not only won the two open titles, but the British and American amateur championships as well. Sarazen tied the record established by Chick Evans in 1916 at

The Senators staged a three-run rally in the fourth inning, stimulated by Spencer's home run, and another three-run uprising in the next inning, to put the game on ice. In the Yankee-Athletics game, Charley Ruffing yielded only seven scattered hits to the A s, and three Yankee double plays kept the scoring down. George Walberg yielded eleven hits and passed eight New York batters. Max Bishop homered for the A's in the third. Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox. 5 to 1.

'PIRATES WIN SIX IN ROW TO CAPTURE N. L. LEAD

Cubs Break Even With Cards to Lose Top Bucs Climb From Cellar With Improved Hitting and Swetonic’s Sensational Pitching; Reds Bow Twice to Pittsburgh on Sunday. By I nitfd Press NEW. YORK. June 27.—A six-game winning streak has swept the Pirates to the top of the National League for the first time this season. Their double victory over the Reds Sunday gave George Gibson’s Buccaneers the lead after it had been shuttling back and forth between the Cubs and Braves for most of the season. Thus, the dub which has the league’s leading batter, Paul Waner, and the leading pitcher, Steve Swetonic, finally has garnered the league’s leading percentage. Pittsburgh nosed out the Chicago Cubs by three points. For twenty-long days in May the Pirates were becalmed at the bottom of the league But the Corsairs fought their way up to third position and hung there during most of June, until their recent string of vicJ tories.

Parker, who has been playing since he was 10, defeated Lester Stoefen, blond California giant, in the men’s singles final Sunday at the River Forest tennis Club, 2-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2. Parker’s march to the final included a defeat of George Lott, ranked No. 2 nationally, in the quarterfinals. Miss Catherine Wolf, Indianapolis, defended her women’s crown against Mrs. Dorothy Hack of California today. CARDS RETAIN STREET “Ole Sergeant” Signs for Fourth Year as St. Louis Pilot. By Times Special ST. LOUIS, June 27.—Gabby Street will be bacx at the helm of the St. Louis Cardinals again in 1933. It will be the fourth season for ‘he “Ole Sergeant.” He was signed by President Sam Breadon of the Cards. During Street's term, the Cardinals have won two pennants and the 1931 world series.

Minneapolis when he turned in a card of 286 to win the National title. He shot two par-shattering rounds Saturday to come from behind and overhaul Phil Perkins and Bobby Cruickshank, who tied for second at 289 each. A 66, the lowest score in the history of the open, on the last eighteen holes, gave Sarazen the victory. As if to celebrate his victory, which netted him SI,OOO in cash, Sarazen paired with Billy Burke Sunday in an exhibition charity match at Fresh Meadow against Bobby Jones and Tommy Armour. Jones and Armour won, 3 and 2. It was Armour’s playing that brought about the defeat of Sarazen and Burke. He carded a 69, while Jones required a 78. Sarazen scored a 73 and Burke 74.

could not hit Sorrell, who yielded only six safeties, while Gaston and Caraway were found for twelve. The Tigers made all their runs in the eighth inning, aided by three errors. Cleveland broke even in a doubleheader with the St. Louis Browns winning the first, 10 to 3, and dropping the second. 6 to 5. Wes Ferrell turned in his thirteenth victory of the season in the opener. He fanned eight and -ielded only six hits. Joe Vosmik's homer with one on in the sixth inning featured Cleveland's attack in the first contest. Earl Averill drove out his thirteenth homer of the season for Cleveland in the nightcap. His teammate. Burnett, and Campbell of St, Louis also connected for the circuit. Fischer, Kimsey and Cooney yielded nine hits to Cleveland, while Harder, and Hudlin were found for eleven.

right on through the falling torrents to finish on schedule. Not one of the other players signed up for early starts had withdrawn, and Cliff Wagoner, secretary, anticipated a record attendance in spite of the weather. The second eighteen holes of the fifty-four-hole championship will be played Tuesday at the Indianapolis Country Club with the windup eighteen holes scheduled for Wednesday at Meridian Hils. A field of sterling linksmen was out after the throne vacated by George Lance when he moved to California last winter. With such players as Bill Heinlein. state amateur champion; Dave Mitchell, winner of the fifty-four-hole Indianapolis public links championship; Billy Reed Jr., who finished just behind Mitchell; Jack Bixler of Lafayette, and a flock of other fine players in the race for the title, the championship takes on the appearance of an open race and one that will not be decided until the last putt is down. A flock of prizes is being offered for low gross and low net scores and the handicaps of the players have been figured carefully. Dr. M. E. Clark, one of the quartet who began play at 6 a. m. in the rain, had 79, three strokes better than C. B. Blakeslee. who had 82, and five blows better than Dr. C. H. McCaskey, who took 84. Everett Agnew trailed the foursome with 89.

Improved hitting largely is responsible for the Pirates’ rise. Paul Waner and his brother Lloyd are doing well at bat. Pie Traynor, Gus Suhr and Bob Grace also are making important hitting contributions. Outside of Swetonic’s sensational hurling, Pittsburgh’s pitching has not been exceptionally strong. In Sunday’s double victory, Larry French gave the Reds only four singles in the first contest, winning 5 to 0. No Red reached second base. Pie Traynor’s home run with two on in the second inning decided that game. A six-run rally in the ninth inning won the nightcap, 9 to 5. The Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies split a twin bill, Boston taking the opener, 5 to 4. and losing the second contest, 5 to 1. Brooklyn downed the New York Giants, 5 to 2, aided by three hits from Tony Cuccinello, a home run, single and double. accounting for four runs. The Cubs broke even in a doubleheader with the Cardinals, < losing the opener. 4 to 3. when Jimmy Reese, pinch hitting in the ninth, singled home the winning run, but winning the nightcap, 4 to 3.

Nurmi Cracks Distance Mark By United Press VIBORG, Finland, June 27. Paavo Nurmi, the famous “flying Finn,” today claimed anew world record of 2 hours 22 minutes % seconds for the short marathon distance of 40,200 meter 424.97 miles/, made Sunday during the Finnish Olympic tryouts. While no official world record is listed for 40,200 meters, Nurmi’s record claims are based on the fact that he eclipsed the world mark for twenty-five miles set at 2:29:29.4 by H. Green of Great Britain in 1913. Nurmi’s run was over a shorter distance than the Olympic marathon course, which is 26 miles 385 yards.

George Gibson Starting from last place late in May, George Gibson’s Pittsburgh Pirates have climbed to the top of the National League. This is Gibson’s second experience at the helm of the Bucs, taking over the reins this spring. He was their chief in 1920, ’2l and ’22, finishing second once and fourth twice. DAVIS SKEET WINNER Shattering 45 targets Davis won the 50-target event at the Indianapolis Skeet Club Sunday. Free was second with 44 and A. Smith next with 43.

captured another par three on the eighth and a par 5 on nine to finish the nine still one stroke under par 37. He had used only thirteen puts for the nine holes, one each on six greens. After getting a par four on the tenth hole, Dave began another string of 3s, and caught five of them before the eighteenth hole was completed. This made his round read eleven 3s, four 4s, two 5s and one 8. He likewise took but thirteen putts on the back nine, making twenty-six for the total round. The 67 fired by Mitchell equals counts hung up as a course record by Russell Stonehouse, pro at the course, and Charles (Chick) Evans of Chicago, when he was in his prime a few years ago. Mitchell’s count is even more sensational because of the fact that he made it in strict medal tournament competition. Par for the course is 72. The 31 he scored on the last nine is anew record. The fact that Dave was low medalist at St. Paul, Minn., in the 1931 national public links championship and earned his way to the No. 1 position on the local team this year undoubtedly will bring unto him the captaincy of the team. For consistency and near par shooting in each of the three rounds, Billy Reed Jr., and Bill Heinlein take the honors. Heinlein fired 72 at South Grove in the first eighteen holes and Reed a 73. Heinlein slipped a little at Pleasant Run and took a 75 and Reed took 74 which left them in a tie for the lead with 147 each at the thirty-six-hole mark. At Riverside Sunday both players banged out 74's and were looked upon as co-leaders until Mitchell went sub-parring. a a a Match play for the Indianapolis public links individual championship will get underway next Saturday at Sarah Shank.

Beeson slipped at both Pleasant Run and South Grove, while a bad round at South Grove hurt Russell's chances. McGuire is a great golfer and the bovs will miss his steadying influence at Louisville. a a a While the action was hottest at Riverside. H. C.

Tribesmen and Birds to Open Under Lights Columbus Sluggers Invade Stadium for Three Tilts; Rookie Thomas Hurls Indians to One Victory Over Week-End: Women Free Tonight. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor Emmet McCann's Indians lost ground over the week-end by dropping two in three to the Toledo Hens, but came within two outs of capturing two and the home boys are still hopeful of hitting another winning streak and are burning up to make the slugging Columbus Red

Birds the victims of their wrath. The Birds invade the stadium tonight to open a three-game series and the Hoosiers can tie the Buckeye maulers for second place by annexing the opener. It will be ‘’ladies’ night’’ at the Tribe park, and if the weather clears, the club officials will be prepared to entertain a capacity throngp. Women will be admitted free to the bleachers and to the grand stand for 10 cents, which represents Uncle Sam's amusement tax. In other words, women free, “plus tax.” Action will start at 8:15. Other struggles with Columbus will be afternoon tilts Tuesday and Wednesday, with hostilities starting at 3 o’clock. The Birds have been hard to handle this

season and have bumped off the Indians six times in nine clashes. Manager Nemo Leibold is directing a crew of fence busters and his team is leading the league in club batting. Only Sunday, at Louisville, Nick Cullop, Bird fiy chaser, established a record for distance hitting in the Colonel park by twice driving the

spnere over tne scoreboard. Rookie Bill Thomas, righthander, recalled from Knoxville recently, hurled the Indians to their one week-end triumph, beating the Hens in the second conflict Sunday, 3 to 1, allowing five hits. The contest was cut short, to seven innings, by the 6 o'clock lav/. Thomas scattered the Toledo blows and the visitors’ one marker was chalked up in the sixth when Pytlak, first up, tripled, and registered on Twogood's long fly.

Rookie Starts Rally

Thomas worked in confident fashion, fanned two and issued no walks. The youthful hurler also touched off the spark in the Hoosiers’ winning rally in the fifth. He combed Twogood for a single, advanced on Goldman’s sacrifice and scored on Hale’s single r.fter Fitzgerald fanned. Hale moved up on Sigafoos’ single and scored on Taitt’s safety. The other Tribe marker was registered in the second stanza on a walk to Rosenberg, a wild pitch and Riddle's double. The Sabbath lid-lifter was a sad blow to Hoosier hopes. The Tribesmen battled from behind a 5 to 1 handicap and crept up gradually, tying the game in the sixth at 5 and 5. In th e eighth Sigafoos tripled and scored on Riddle’s single, and that made the count, 6 to 5, Indianapolis. Entering tne ninth with the onerun advantage, Goldman threw out O. Hale and the fans relaxed, figuring the battle was in. Suddenly there was a moan. Henline topped the ball for a roller in front of the plate and with plenty of time to retire the batsman, Riddle threw the sphere into right field and Henline scampered all the way to third. Squeeze Play Works Manager Falk batted for Craghead and Pytlak ran for Henline. The Hen chief bunted and the squeeze play worked, Pytlak scoring with the tying marker. Heving, on the Tribe mound, lost control, passed both Knickerbocker and Turgeon and Powers doubled, scoring the two runners. West kept the rally hot and scored Powers with a single. Archie Campbell relieved Heving and was socked for a single by Sweeney before striking out Winegarner to retire the side. Final score, 9 to 6, Hens. It took only two innings to put the Hens over, five runs scoring in the fifth and four in the ninth. The Hens took Saturday’s game, 7 to 3, collecting sixteen hits.
