By Joe Williams Veteran Golfer Does the “Impossible” 9 m a First Starter in Tourney Scores Ace a m m Ruth's C hicago Home Run Is Recalled

JM'EW YORK, A UK- I").—And what are you going to say today, Williams, about a hole in one being all luck? Specifically, what are you going to say about Jack Hagen, the 53-year-old professional, who started the New York World-Telegram hole-in-one tournament going with an ace Monday at the Salisbury course? You had written a column al>out the absurdity of the hole in one as a golfing accomplishment. You maintained any novice could close his eyes, swing a club and make a hole in one if he was lucky enough. You were pretty sure skill had nothing to do with it. man man WELL, the ink on your column is hardly dry before the telegraph keys in the editorial room begin clicking and over the wire from fog-locked Long Island comes the story that Hagen, the very first starter In the tournament, has scored himself a hole in one. You didn't look altogether bad In the situation, Williams. Hagen wasn’t absolutely perfect He didn t sink the first ball, and he even missed with his second. In fact, it took him all of three whacks to drop one from the tee. If it was a matter of skill, Hagen should have done it with the first ball, eh? a a a a a a ALL right, all right, boys. I give up To me a hole in one is still four parts luck, but I grant you there is much about the performance of Hagen that is startling Nor do I see how you can blow him all the way down if he insists the shot came r,ff for him just as he intended. Lik' 1 all other competitors in the tournament. Hagen had a previous ace to his rndit In his rase he had three previous ones. When he stepped to If. tee Monday it was for the definite and widely broadcast purpose of proving he could do it again. a a a a a a IT wasn't as if he were playing a regular round of golf and taking the 148-vard hole in stride, anticipating the normal par three, hoping to get close enough for a birdie two. and perhaps flirting with the mirage of a hole in one. This was a specific challenge. There was the third green, slightly banked and trapped on either side with the pin set in dead center. Here were the five balls. So you made a hole in one once? Very well. Very well, w?lk out there and show the people how you do it. a a a ana THIS was precisely the role Hagen was asked to play and the identical conditions under which he made his ace Monday—which was. considering one thing and another, undoubtedly the most remarkable hole in one that has ever been made. Hagen hit a beautiful shot and by chance it came to rest i nthe magic hole; I say chance even in the face of considerable evidence to the contrary, because it is impossible to judge distance perfectly by such infinitesimal degrees, or to control by human power the exact behavior of a golf ball over a stretch of any length. nan a a a THOUGH both the dramatic elements and the attendant responsibilities were vastly greater. Babe Ruth turned in a performance that fits into the Hagen category when he stood at the plate in the third game of the 1932 world series against the Chicago Cubs and called his shot. Pointing to the center field fence, he shouted to the Cubs' dugout. "The next pitch, right over that fence." And that's where it went, for one of the longest homo runs ever hit in Chicago.

Foxx Smashes A. L. Record and Looks Good to Sweep 1933 Honors

BY JACK CUDDY I nitre! I'rrM SlafT Corrf^pnndfnt NEW YORK. Aug. 15—James Emory Foxx. home run king of 1932. lias an excellent chance of retaining his title this season in addition to carrying oiT most of the American League's batting laurels. While establishing anew American League record of nine runs batted in during one game Monday, the Philadelphia Athletics' slugging

first baseman connected with his thirty-fifth home run of the season, giving him a lead of nine homers over his nearest rival. Babe Ruth of the Yanks. Although Foxx has slight chance of equalling his own amazing 1932 total of fifty-eight homers—just two less than Babe Ruths all-time record his lead

Harness World Turns Eyes on Rich Classic Little Goshen, N. Y., Is Packed for $50,000 Hambletonian Trot Wednesday: Brown Derby May Be Final Favorite: 35.000 Crowd Expected. BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Prett Staff Correspondent GCSHEN. N Y., Aug. 15—Overshadowed by their more spectacular brothers, the running horses, for most of the year, the trotters and pacers have their day Wednesday when the Grand Circuit reaches a climax with the running of the *50.000 Hambletonian stakes here in Gchen, N. Y. The race will be watched by 35.000 people—as many as were on hand for the Kentucky Derby. To appreciate the size of such a crowd you first have to see Goshen. A gathering of that size bulks large even in a city the size of Louisville, and when you drop It down In a village of fewer than 3,000 citizens and one paved street, it’s every man for himself.

But Goshen is prepared. The twenty-five-room hotel has been freshly painted, a traffic cop has been stationed on Main street near the city hall, the Erie railroad has consented to stop its tram for the’ one day. The runners of illicit spirits, as they call applejack up there, are working in relays. Six Are Standouts As for the Hambletonian itself, our operatives report that the race is wide open and that six of the twelve trotters which are expected to go to the post, look like the goods. Brown Derby, a snappy stepping bay colt, owned by the Lytle Brothers of Plainfield, N. J., is likely to be the final favorite. Brown Derby ran away with the American stake No. 1 at Rockingham recently, and the American No. 1 was rated as the dress rehearsal for the Hambletonian. Other Favorites Mary Reynolds, owned by W. N. Reynolds, the big tobacco man, is another entry due for heavy backing. Other favorites are King Ben, trained by the wizard of harness horsedom, Walter <Long Shot) Cox; Atlantic Volo. Prince Hall. Hollyrood Portia, Calumet Donald, piloted by Will Caton, who drove for the czar of Russia before the revolution, and Spencer McElwvn.

Boston Red Sox, 6 to 5. The Tigers clicked off four runs in the seventh and collected ten hits off Pipgras, L. Brown and Welch. Boston smacked thirteen hits off Auker. Fischer and Hogsett, but was unable to bunch them effectively.' In an exhibition game, the Pittsburgh Pirates trounced the world champion New York Yankees, 10 to 2.

Whit-ney-Mose Goldblat trained bangtail if he was around 7-5 or even money and go to sleep with some assurance they would walk up to the window and cash. Those days have gone forever, and while the good old public still makes ’em favorites, the cashing part of the trick is null and void. Last Friday Mose sent three to the post, one at even money, one at 7-10 and the other at 8-5. One finished third, one last and the other beat one horse. L**t Saturday it wan a different story.

Bassett Shoots 76 and Tops State Golf Field Defending Champ Best of Early Qualifying Finishers at South Bend With 147: Drops 25-Putt During Round: Title Play Wednesday. BY DICK MILLER Times Malt Writer SOUTH BEND. Ind., Aug. 15.—8i1l Bassett, defending champion in the state amateur golf tourney, under way here at Chain O' Lakes course, shot a 76 today to add to his medal 71 of Monday, for a total of 147. to lead the early finishers in the last eighteen holes of qualifying play. The Hamond star was in trouble all the way around the "out" nine, but recovered on the "in" nine to take a 40-36 for his 76. The former Purdue links ace dropped a twenty-five-foot putt for a birdie four on the eighteenth hole. It appeared that Bassett’s score ———

would stand up throughout the day* as the low medal count. Second among the early finishers was Keith Young of West Lafayette, who cracked out a 78. which, added to his 77 of Monday, gave him a 155. Third in the early rankings was G. A. Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne, who added an 82 today to his 75 Monday for a total of 157.

Late in the afternoon Monday, the tourney received a surprise on the difficult, tricky course when Kenneth Young. La Porte youngster, tied Bassett for the first day qualifying medal honors by battling the many hazards to fire a 71, which is even par. Young was awarded the Gimbel prize medal for best mental attitude in the 1930 state high school basketball championship tourney. Kenny never played in a state golf championship before and he just rounded the 21-year mark recently, which made him eligible for the event. 75 by Bruggeman Monday There was only one score in the low 70s besides the two 71s and that was held by Tony Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne, who fired 75 early Monday. Bruggeman was state junior champion several years ago. The only other score of merit meant nothing in the championship as Billy Hall Jr. of Michigan City, who fired a 76. did it merely as a partner for his father in the Father and Son match. It enabled them to win, however, as Dr. W. A. Hall Sr., ; had 82 and that gave them a total I of 158. ten strokes better than G. A. Young and his son Keith, who had 91 and 77. respectively, for 168. Young Hall is under 21 and ineligible to compete in the championship event as he was not one of the five who won their way up in the recent junior championship. We believe it will take 163 or better to get in, principally because there were thirty-six scores of 82 or better turned in Monday. The players have found the tough spots and were more cautious today. Other 70 Shooters The boys who shot in the 70s Monday, besides the three leader* mentioned, were; Keith Young, West Lafayette; Harry Elmore, South Bend; Dr. C M. Fish, South Bend; Mike Moore, South Bend, and Johnny Simpson, Washington all 77. Frepman P. Davis. Highland; La Mar Campbell. South Bend; Ray Roberson, Highland; Dick Taylor, I West Lafayette, and Max Buell. Highland, all 78, and Bobby Dale, i Riverside; Sam Mellott, South Bend, and Bud Williamson, Ft. Wayne, : all 79. Bobby Dale, state junior champion. was the only one of the five junior players eligible, who broke 80. Bill Reed Jr.. Highland, took 80; Bob Hamilton, Evansville, junior tournament'medalist, 81; Harold Brewer. West Lafayette, runner-up. 81, and Walter Kroll, South Bend, 87. 140 Left In Action The field in the state tournament reached a total of 144 entries, two of which were withdrawals without action. One who failed to turn in a card and Hall's ineligibility cut the field to 140 as they carried on today. The two ex-champions in the field. Johnny Simpson and Bobby Resener, were both in fine positions to qualify. Johnny Simpson had 77, Monday, while Ressner had 81. Phil Talbot, runner-up the last two years had trouble in the traps and took 81
