By Joe Williams Wood and Wife Celebrate am* Sarazen Sinks Spoon Shot m m m Sets Withering Pace to Tie

A UGUSTA, Ga., April B.—Craig Wood, the blond boomer from Deal, N. J., had just finished his last round in the Masters’ Golf Tournament. He had shot the first nine in a wretched 39, three over par, and had come back with a fine 34. \ This gave him a total of 282 for the 72 holes and put him in front of the field, where he had been 24 hours before when he produced a brilliant 68 in dreary weather to take the lead by one stroke over Olin Dutra, the National Open champion; by two strokes over Henry Picard, star of the winter tour, and three strokes over Gene Sarazen, the veteran. So. at this moment. Wood was feeling very jubilant, because word had come in that Dutra, despite a sensational 32 for the back nine, had finished with 284. and Picard had carded a total of 286. This being his wedding anniversary, Wood took his comely wife into his arms and gave her a very emphatic kiss on the lips quite publicly in the clubhouse and said in effect, “Baby, this is our lucky day. ®°™ e one decided a toast should be drunk to the triumphant Woods and in the midst of this ceremony more details started coming in from the course where only Sarazen, of all the remaining field,JU&d a chance. a a a mum THERE was first the news that Sarazen had caught Wood at the sixth green, meaning that at a corresponding point of their rounds, the little Corsican had equalled Wood’s total. At the ninth the news was that Sarazen had dropped a stroke, taking a five where Wood had taken a par 4. There was more cause for Jubilation when news came from the fourteenth—Sarazen had dropped another stroke. This meant Sarazen must play the closing four holes in thirteen strokes against a par 5-3-4-4. or three strokes less than perfection calls for, if he hoped to tie—and if he hoped to win, obviously he must do one stroke better. j turn mum WE'LL now cut back to the course and leave the Woods in the clubhouse, surrounded by admiring hand-shakers. Sarazen was paired with Walter Hagen who had started the last round in a two-way tie for fourth place at 214. but who at this point had shot himself completely and inelegantly out of the tournament. Sarazen's tee shot from the par flve-485-yard fifteenth was long ana straight, but it landed in a cuppy lie. Looking over the lie, he said to Hagen: “I have to go for the green.” So Sarazen squared away, took a full cut with a No. 4 wood—which we old gaffers used to know as a spoon —and sank the shot. _ . ... Therefore, on a hole that is normally shot in five, Sarazen at this point found he had shot it in two. Thus, the three strokes it was necessary for him to pick up all the way home in order to tie for the lead he had picked up on one hole. Needing three birdies, in short, he got them all at once. mam a a a WE now cut back to the clubhouse. The news came in that Sarazen had shot a two on a par-five hole. Wood, still with his arm around his lovely frau, said, “That’s a swell break for Gene, but he still has a lot of work in front of him.” \ Wood had finished the last three holes in 4-4-3, against a par of 3-4-4. He had dropped a stroke to par at the sixteenth, but stolen a stroke from par at the difficult eighteenth, when he got a three, thanks to a magnificent second shot It was very apparent to all that Sarazen still had a lot of work in front of him. aaa a a a WORK— this hard, front-line, storm-troop work—is something the Mussolini of golf thrives on. He had a hard putt for his three at the ’45-yard sixteenth, and got it. He played a beautiful second to the craftily bunkered seventeenth to make his four sure—the best shot he played all day. in fact. He played boldly for the pin with a wood second at the eighteenth to give him a chance for a possible win and a sure tie and it came off just as he intended He was three feet short from a distance of 20 feet with his putt for a win. There was never any doubt about the three-foot putt for a tie. Nobody down here today could recall a more sensational rally, a greater fighting finish—a golfer who refused to be licked even in the face of suffocating circumstances.

Each was out in par 36. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Ediiar AUGUSTA, Ga., April B.—Swarthy Gene Sarazen and blond Craig Wood met today in a 36-hole playoff for the Augusta Masters’ golf championship, a procedure necessitated only because the American-born Italian is the most unpredictable player the game has ever known. Standing on the tenth tee yesterday in his final round, after Wood had finished with an aggregate of 282, Sarazen apparently had not even the remotest chance of catching Craig.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1935

Wood had come home with a 34, and Gene needed a 33, three below par, to catch the leader. In the face of a biting wind and a rain-soaked course, this was no easy feat and would have failed had it not been for one single shot. This was probably the greatest blow ever struck in a major tournament in America or in England. It was a wood shot sent a full 250 yards, straight into the cup not for an eagle but for a double eagle. The blow came on the 15th hole, a par five with yardage of 485. 2000 See Perfect Shot Gene’s dr.ve was some 235 yards from the tee and in none too good a position. But he asked for his No. 4 wood and with no deliberation and only half a waggle, sent the ball true into the cup. The crowd of some 2000 which paid no heed to chilly breezes, fitful drizzles of rain, was divided in equal parts—half at the green and half in the fairway just behind Sarazen. The fairway gallerites applauded wildly or a shot that was certainly well home, and the crowd at the green took up the cheer like an echo and then broke into frantic screaming, “It’s in.” Sarazen was tied with Wood and coasted home on even terms. It was, in a way, a tough break for Wood. He was in the club house lobby, accepting the congratulations of men he had beaten and of his wife who reminded him that this was their wedding anniversary, when news of Sarazen’s double eagle spread through the place. Tough Break for Craig One of the galleryites was Bobby Jones, who yesterday completed his second annual return to competitive golf. Jones, whose presence makes the Augusta event a top-line tourney, was forced to be content with an aggregate of 297. He scored a 78 in his final test played before an adoring Georgia gallery and was 15 strokes behind the leaders. This placed him in a three-way tie for 25th place. Last year, when he made his first competitive test since completing his grand slan: in 1930, Bobby had a total of 294, tying for 13th place. He’ll try again next year, he said, but will play no other competitive golf meantime.

Perry Peeved at Movie Town After Fight Rumor

By United Press HOLLYWOOD, April B.—Fred Perry, international tennis champion, was pulling up stakes in the film colony today, irked at reports that he engaged in a fist fight-with Joe Benjamin, former prize fighter, in a fashionable case last night.

“It’s silly,” the British racket star said. “Just a lot of rot.” Benjamin, former husband of Marian Nixon, film actress, and one time pal of Jack Dempsey, freely described the reported bout, however, and said the encounter occurred after Perry made “some crack about American champions, including Dempsey.” “I got sore,” Benjamin said. “I reminded him 4 was once a champ. I might have flipped in a sock, I don’t know,) Somebody told me I knocked out a couple of Perry’s teeth.” nun PERRY exhibited a full set of teeth today and denied that he had tangled with the former pugilist. “I recall that some fellow threw a cigaret in my face,” the Britisher explained. “I think he attempted to hit me. I had no idea why he took offense, so I turned my back and walked out.” The tennis star was amused at Benjamin’s accusations that he had made belittling remarks about American champions. “Why, I think they’re a fine iOt,” he sdid. “I hold them in the highest esteem.” Benjamin, who was at the case with two motion picture actresses, Mona Rico and Renee Torres, insisted that the scuffle occurred and that Perry “wanted to take Mona home.” Perry announced he will leave the film colony Wednesday and will stop in New York on his way back to England. Piluso, Weaver to Clash at Hall Ernie Piluso, clever Italian matman from Portland, Ore., will meet Buck Weaver, junior light heavyweight champion, in the main event of an all-star wrestling card at Tomlinson Hall tonight. The other match of the doublemain event will pit Joe Kennedy. Toledo, against George Sauers, California. Sauers is known as one of the roughest light heavyweights in the game. Kennedy won his debut match here last week. The one-fall opener will bring together Vern Clark, Seattle, and Frank Wolf, former light heavy title claimant.

In two previous scraps, the boys divided the honors, Thomas winning one and Wallace the other.

Matchmaker Carter plans a supporting card of fivp scraps, probably a pair of six rounders and three bouts of four rounds each.

Cincinnati Named for Municipal Event The 1935 tournament of the Municipal Baseball Association of th United States was set tentatively for Cincinnati in September at a meeting of the organization’s representatives here.

Indians Score 9-to-6 Win Over Nashville in Short Tilt; May Return Home Tomorrow Chief Killefer Attempting to Cancel Exhibition Games in South and Bring Tribe to Perry Stadium as Rain Keeps Up; Happy Over Elliott Deal. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor MAYFIELD. Ky., April B.—Collecting ten hits in five innings the Indians of Red Killefer knocked off the Nashville Vols, 9 to 6. yesterday in a contest cut short by rain and wet grounds. The teams will try to get together again today and this afternoon's contest may wind up the Tribe'! spring training in Mayfield.

Manager Killefer has decided to move his squad to Indianapolis to finish out the training period if he succeeds in canceling games in the South with Louisville, Memphis and Toledo. He knows Louisville will consent and early today sent out wires to the Toledo and Memphis teams explaining that the weather here has him licked and that his players are eager to depart and try their luck at Perry Stadium, Indianapolis. Second Team Rained Out It is said Louisville also is ready to pull out of Union City, Tenn., and go home: The tilt carded here with Nashville on Saturday was rained out and the teams barely completed five irr.ings yesterday before a shower chased them out of the park. In the event Killefer’s new plans go through, the Indianapolis squad will leave Mayfield for Indianapolis tomorrow morning. The American Association season opens a week from tomorrow and it will take some tall hustling to get the Tribe pastimers in condition to answer the starting bell in Columbus on April 16. The players have seen very little outdoor action. The Tribe second team went to Union City yesterday to meet the Colonels, But the boys merely made a trip. Rain submerged the diamond before it was possible to practice. Bluege Has Hitting Spree Otto Bluege, the new shortstop, astonlaned everybody yesterday by smashing out a single, double and triple in four times at bat against Nashville. Most of the fireworks occurred in the fifth and last stanza when the visiting Vols tallied five runs off Yank Terry and the Lilians came back with six markers. Red Wright and Terry pitched for the Hoosiers and Chaplin and Oescher for Nashville, all righthanders. Wright held the Vols to one hit in three rounds. The Nashville feature was a home run by Gerken with two mates on base in the fifth. Two-base hits were blasted by Bluege of the Indians and by Taitt, Beetles and Chaplin of Nash Ville. Triples were exploded by four Indians—Bluege, Sherlock, Cotelle and Stoneham. Joe Sprinz turned in a neat job of catching and got himself two safeties. Tiny Chaplin, with Minneapolis last year and formerly with the New York Giants, was solved for five hits and three runs in four innings. Wright blanked Nashville during his three sessions on the mound. Joe Sprinz nabbed one runner stealing and in the fourth Doug Taitt was caught napping off second, Sprinz to Bluege. Pitcher Bill Thomas was released outright by Manager Killefer last night. He was farmed out to Williamsport in the New York-Pennsyl-vania League in 1934. His best work for Indianapolis was in 1933. Boss Killefer and his players are e ated over the purchase of southpaw Jim Elliott from the Portland (Ort ) club. The deal was completed late Saturday after the Beavers had rejected two previous offers. Elliott won eight games and lost four with Columbus last season after joining the Birds at midseason. He lives in Terre Haute and formerly hurled for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Billy Greek, rookie first baseman with Nashville, was first on the field yesterday and first off. He was carried off. The lad was struck under the right eye with a wild throw and his cheek was split open. Riggs Stephenson went hitless yesterday but drew two walks. Mickey Heath also walked twice. The Trite infield worked to perfection during practice. Bluege and Heath make a lot of difference with their speed anjj agility. Babe Lawrie batted for Terry in the fifth and drew four wild ones. Sherlocks two blows were well hit. Only Hart of the Nashville squad is in Mayfield, the Vols remaining in Nashville to play home exhibitions. Johnny Stoneham of the Indians had an odd batting record in the Sabbath engagement. He walked twice, bounced out once and then came through with a whistling triple. Tiny Cotelle produced a single anl triple and batted ir. three run,'.. He play’d center field in place of Johnny Cooney, who is not quite ready for strenuous exercise. REDS TO PLAY TIGERS By United Press COLUMBIA, S. C., April 8 —Tony Freitas was slated to pitch for the Cincinnati Reds today against Alvin Crowder and the Detroit Tigers, in an exhibition game. The clubs were rained out yesterday at Charlotte, N. C. THOR r.r and $40.95 EM-ROE sea. 209-211 W. Washington
