Sarazen Predicts National Open Record Will Stand; Is Favorite With Hagen

'Haig/ Former Champ, Would Take 292 and Not Play; Walker Cup Players Arrive at Merion, Have Difficulties on Practice Round. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor ARDMORE. Pa., June s.—Chick Evans’ record 236 for the national open starting Thursday at this Philadelphia suburb is as "safe as if if was in its mother’s arms,” according to Gene Sarazen, favorite to win this year’s three-day test. "This idea that Merion is easy is nothing more than the bunk,” Sarazen, twice winner of the open title, said today. “Craig Wood talks about Merion being a spoon-and-niblick course.

Max Buell of Highland, Indianapolis District Golf Association champion in 1933 and tournament manager for the Indiana P. G. A., refuses to attempt the feat of taking part in two tournaments in one day. Neither does he believe that I two tournaments depending upon j the same players should be held on i the same day. So Max has called

off the regular weekly pro-ama-teur scheduled for next Monday. This means that everything will be clear sailing for the Indianapolis Di strict event which will open at Highland on Monday with eighteen holes. Play will continue at Speedway on Tuesday, with eighteen holes more, and

wind up at Meridian Hills on Wednesday with an eighteen-hole final. Os course, Cliff Wagoner, veteran secretary of the organization, is suffering these days. Cliff is on the spot and the weather is making it a hotter spot than usual. Cliff has the task of assigning all the entries their starting time, partners, if they do not have preference, and determining the handicaps to be allotted each player for awarding of net prizes. Every player has a time he wants to play. Cliff will make every effort to see that the player gets that time or one very near to it, if possible. But Cliff uses the first-come-first-served system, and if you wait until the last minute and then call him, don't be offended if the answer is: “Sorry, but that time was taken by so and so last week.’’ tt an INDICATIONS are the entry this year may be a record one. ’The recent rains placed all three of the tournament courses in splendid shape and it will not be surprising if the event again winds up with two or more players having to play off a deadlock for high honors. The champion is determined by the gross score system. Last year Buell won the title after an eight-een-hole playoff with Phil Talbot of Bloomington. Any member of the Indianapolis District Golf Association may. participate in the tournament free and share in the many prizes. The only requirement is that you belong to some club affiliated with the district association, that you pay your own personal membership fee and supply Wagoner with ycur. handicap, 'which must be approved by your club secretary. Most of all, if you contemplate playing, get in touch with Wagoner at once. He can be reached by telephone at Riley 9505, or by mail addressed to him, tenth floor, Illinois building. n n n ENTRIES for the ninth annual Indianapolis Times Interscholastic golf tournament are rolling in fast and advance data points to one of the biggest and best tournaments in history of the schoolboy event. Play will open tomorrow and continue through Saturday at . Coffin municipal golf links. This morning a blanket entry list containing the names of thirty-eight Cathedral golfers who intend to play was received from Brother Eymard, faculty athletic manager. It is suggested that since Cathedral will not be holding school tomorrow, golfers from there appear at the course as early as possible to qualify. Here are a few final instructions to the schoolboy linksmen who plan to take part in the huge event: <3l Any high school or grade school bov who has attended school right up to the end of this spring semester is eligible Players graduating from high school or grade school this spring will plav as representatives of the school they graduated from. Grade school bovs may plav in the high school event if they so desire. No entry fee or greens fee is charged. The park board has waived the course fee for the schoolboy golfers tomorrow in the interest of junior golf in the city. High school boys may qualitfy Wednesday anv time between 8:30 a. m. and dark. The qualification test will be eighteen holes medal score and the thirty-two lowwest scores will qualify for match play elimination. which begins Thursday. Matches will be eighteen holes each until the final match, which will be thirty-six holes on Saturday. There will be two rounds of matches Thursday and Friday. a a tt THERE will be many prizes for low scores in the qualification round and for the players who advance farthest in the match play.

f gures. “It’s true that par is only to, and that the 6,694 yardage is some 500 yards under most open championship courses, but Merion is no pipe, and this isn’t my opinion only, either.” Walter Should Know Walter Hagen, another former champion, who, like Sarazen, is a favorite in the almost current title test, agreed. . % “This talk of needing 280 something isn’t anything new,” says Hagen, who ought to know. “You heard it at Inverness and Fresh Meadow, and almost every year. Well, here’s what I’d do if the U. S. G. A. would let me. I'd take 292 right now and spend the next four days on the clubhouse veranda.” Johnny Goodman of Omaha, the defending champion, and Lawson Little of San Francisco, winner of this year’s British amateur, played their first practice rounds last night. They arrived in Boston from Europe yesterday, spent the afternoon in Manhattan, arriving at Philadelphia in time for a short round in the evening. Takes 42 Goodman, scoring 42 for nine holes, expressed the opinion 288 will be the low figure in the open, while Little, who shot a 41. thinks 285 will be the winning numerals. A calm and impartial study of the Merion layout leads to agreement with the Sarazens and Hagens. Not one of the 4-par or 5-par holes of the layout is so sharply angled as to suggest the spoon or brassie rather than the driver. Os all, the tenth has the sharpest dog-leg, but a player can drive over 300 off the tee and still be safe if he shoots straight. But the long hitter really comes into his own on several holes, notably the second, where he can bang out for as much of the 535 yards as he cares to, .id the fourth, which totals 595 yards and offers no invitation for a spoon off the tee. Grade school boys will engage in an eighteen-hole, medal score tournament on Saturday morning, with prizes going to the players with the lowest scores and also those drawn from a hat. High school boys must qualify as early as possible after 8:30 a. m. tomorrow. This will eliminate congestion and also give right-of-way to boys who must attend school until late in the day. If you are a school boy you are eligible. You can not afford to miss this tournament, to be held on one of the finest courses in the country. Be there early tomorrow. The dates are June 6, 7, 8 and a. The place is Coffin golf course. a a a IF the professional golfers are not careful the weekly pro-amateur tournament is going to become a strictly amateur event, at least in-so-far as the prize distribution is concerned. Take yesterday, for instance, when the play was held at Crawfordsville Country Club links. There were only seven pros in the field. The remainder of the field of forty were amateurs. Marion Smith, the host pro, upheld the honor of his profession best bv teaming with Ray Roberson of Indianapolis to tie for first place at the end of eighteen holes, with a best ball of 66. In the playoff, however, Smith and Roberson went down fighting before the amateur team of E. H. O’Neal, a wellknown Crawfordsville amateur sometimes referred to as "Squealer,” and his partner, Dick Taylor of Lafayette, also wellknown among the top-flight state Simon pure linksmen. After doing the regulation distance In 66. O'Neal and Taylor were able to have the first two holes of the playoff. When they reached the short par 3 No. 3 hole they decided the issu. O'Neal was close with his tee shot and sank his first putt for a deuce and the first prize award. Third place went to Bob Arnold, a Greenfield amatur, who teamed with Willard % ißagst Redmon of Peru for t\ best bah score of 68. ana In a little belated report from Sarah Shank it is stated that Joe Reeves captured a flag tourney there, with Claude Bennett second and Claude Parker third. All reached the first green on the second trip around, but Reeves was nearest to the pin. a a a CONSIDERABLE talk is heard heard around Coffin golf course about anew amateur star who has been burning up the course. On May 30 the young fellow, a total stranger to Ralph Stonehouse, was pointed out by other players as touring the links in 72, one over par. Sunday morning this same young fellow, who answers to the name of W. S. Danilack, played the course in a neat 67, four under perfect figures. After 'taking a five on the first hole, Dunilack came through with birdies on the fourth, seventh and eighth holes to reach the halfway mark in 34, two under par. Coming home, he matched par on every hole until he reached the sixteenth. A birdie there and one on the eighteenth, after he made par on No. 17, gave him 33 on the back nine.

By Joe Williams U tt Deans Experts at Strikes m n U Aren’t So Dizzy, Either p tt * Both Are Important Cogs

YORK, June s.—lt must be assumed that the strike of the pitching Deans was a success. At any rate you will notice that both of them are back in the foundry forging hot fast ones and steaming hooks for the trade. You know of course about the pitching Deans and their strike. They are brothers, earnest commoners, who toil for the baronial Breadon in the capitalistic National League They struck for more money, of all things. To be more correct, the elder brother, who is called Dizzy as a sort of flattery, struck because the younger brother, who is called Nutsey by way of minimizing confusion, was underpaid. a a a a a a IN their strike the Deans respected the established principles of labor. They first issued an ultimatum. They came right out and said they were going to strike unless their demands were met. “We ain’t kidding either,” said Mr. Dizzy, who, it should be stated, is an expert on strikes. He led the league last year with a total of 199 strikeouts. Up to the moment of the strike Mr. Dizzy had won six ball games for Sam Ereadon’s club, and Mr. Nutsey had won five ball games. Thus between them they had won eleven ball games and were mainly responsible for the position of the club at the top of the league. Mr. Dizzy’s pay check called for $7,500 per annum, if not perhaps. Mr. Nutsey’s called for only $3,000. "I’m underpaid, but my brother is worse underpaid,” declared Mr. Dizzy, “and something has got to be done about it. I’ll take the rap for myself, but my brother must have $2,000 more pr we don’t pitch.” a a a a a a THE strike didn’t last long and as I say the pitching Deans must have got what they wanted for they are back in uniform and the blue eagle of baseball has retired to its Rooseveltian nest in the eaves of the grand stand. The outcome of the showdown would seem to indicate that the pitching Deans are neither dizzy nor nutty. They know what they want when they want it. And what is more important, they seem to get it. You can bet all the ships in the Hudson that they wouldn’t have got it in this intsance if they hadn't employed militant measures too. Baseball owners aren’t disposed to sweeten the ante out of the bigness of their hearts, no matter how compelling the circumstances. a a a a a a THERE are no set standards of baseball values. Mostly the size of the pay check is determined by geography and expediency. A third base coach in New York, for example, is likely to be paid more than a star in St. Louis or Cincinnati. Mr. Dizzy would be getting twice as much, or close to it, pitching for the Giants, and he would be worth it. Asa matter of truth he is worth it in St. Louis, but because salaries have never been high there he doesn’t geC it. Mr. Nutsey was started out at a beginner’s pay as it is figured in St. Louis. By now it is apparent that he is a real pitcher and worth much more than $3,000. a a a a a a I AM glad pitching Deans struck and I think this sort of striking in baseball should be encouraged. I see no reason why a young ball player should be expected to wait a full year for adequate recognition at the cashier’s window, once he has established his class. The fact that the pitching Deans were not permitted to walk out as they threatened is proof enough that the management recognized their value to the team, and realized it all the time. Without the pitching Deans the St. Louis club would be lucky to finish in the first division.

Baer Just Nonchalant Maxie, the Actor, Doesn’t Fool Too Much; Stronger Physically Than Camera, Dempsey Asserts.

BY JACK DEMPSEY (As told by Harry Grayson) NEW YORK, June s.—You have read and heard no little of Max Baer’s proclivities as a playboy. Too much attention has been paid this unimportant and, to me, uninteresting phase in the discussion of the Californian’s fifteen-round championship contest with Primo Camera in

the Garden bowl on June 14. a a a WHEN a young man gains the prominence which has come to Baer, everything he does is picked up for comment. Everything he does in a social way is exaggerated. A youngster like Baer should play a little—get some relaxation and recreation. You can’t expect a chap of 25 to have the mental angle of a man of 45. That wouldn’t do either in the ring or in the world at large. What if Baer has played a bit too hard? One as young and as big and as strong as the former butcher boy can shake off a lot of loose living in ten weeks of training. And Max Adelbert is a glutton for the grind, once he buckles down to it. a a a BAER has every vital quality for ring success, and not the least important is his nonchalance. It is almost impossible to get him flustered. Sometimes the lad seems to have ice water in his veins. You will recollect how Baer worked Schmeling around, getting the Teuton in the right position for his attack and, above all, disconcerting him. Schmeling was a methodical mittman—the one-track variety. One of Baer’s main objectives was to throw the stolid schlager off his stride. I have little doubt but that Baer will operate similarly against Carnera. You will find that, contrary to general belief, Camera is not as strong physically as Baer. And you will find that Baer’s quick wit, as well as his quick fists, will have an important bearing on the outcome. Baer is not the pugilistic Pagliacci that he is painted. Frequently in the past, when he appeared to be clowning, Max Adelbert only was laughing the other fellow out of attacking while he was tired. He is as good an actor as he is a fighter. 1 CONTEMPLATE the battle between Camera and Baer with a great deal of envy. I envy Baer his tremendous opportunity—and his youth. I envy Camera his thrill in defending the most coveted championship against his first challenger of worth—and also his youth. Don’t get the impression that I am setting myself down as an old pappy guy. Far from it. But at 38 you are a bit past the age of athletic prime, and you are inclined to be a bit envious of a youngster who has bumped smack into the brilliant opportunity which once was yours, and another who stands in the glorious spot in which you once were. • IKNOW how Baer will feel on the night of June 14. It will be fifteen years on this July 4 since' I waited in a little cottage on the outskirts of Toledo to hop in there and put on the fireworks for huge Jess Willard. I can’t describe the thrill that was mine that red-hot afternoon. I also know exactly how Camera will feel. "Brennan, or Carpentier, or Gibbons, or Firpo, or Tunney—whoever it happened to be—will have to fight like hell to win this title!” I mumbled to myself, going down BALL STATE DIAMOND TEAM BESTS HANOVER By United Press HANOVER, Ind., June s.—Mark Williams held Hanover college pastimers to four hits as Indiana State scored a 4-to-J. triumph here yesterday.

By United Press NEW YORK, June s.—Facing the best chance in recent weeks to climb back to the top of the National League, where they roosted a year ago, New York’s Giants lyere preparing for a three-day entertainment at home today, with the Braves as stooges. The good news, however, will have to come from St. Louis, where the Cubs, tied in second place with the Giants, are engaging the leagueleading Cardinals.
