ester Has to Be Lucky to Call Winner in National Open.
BY JOE WILLIAMS
LTUSROL G8 Special Writer
CLUB, N. J, ul aa to Mr. Whiskers, your Uncle Samuel is sometimes ed, lotteries in this country are the law, but it will be noted i some surprise that no steps are taken to prohibit the National golf championship. the standpoint of sheer
you the Open is the most flagrant lottery in sports. It is as unpredictable as a woman’s mood, as unbelieveable as a Munchausen fable and as unstable as Townsend economics. As in a { Billy Rose drama, anything can happen in it.
So many factors enter into the winning and losing of the. open that it just naturally be- ~ spmes the biggest gamble in sports. ~ In discoursing on the uncertainties of football, Boh Zuppke, veteran Illinois coach, said no one could éver be sure which way a football would bounce. And up to now no one has been able to tell for certain - Just where a golf ‘ball will come to rest .
The twisting fairways, billowy greens and treacherous traps comise a vast roulette wheel, the spinning of which brings good luck to some, bad to others. There are always \from 20 to 30 players in the Open skilled enough as shotmakers to win. Thus on the basis of numbers alone the dopester has to be ; lucky to call the winner. And when you add to this the element of nerve control, mental attitude and tem perament in general the assignment comes hopeless.
SHEY started hay today in the fortieth Open, over here in the ills of Jersey, seventeen miles pay from the sky line of Manhattan, and the three/players you - heard mentioned most often were Henry Picard, Gene Sarazen and Horton Smith. - It may well develop that these are the three who must " be beaten off, but only a wide-eyed - romancer would care to invest any - gonsiderable sum in the proposition. © It also may develop that none of the three finishes in the first ten. * It isn’t necessary to go any further in golf history than last year to prove that nothing is ims possible in the Open. Over Oak-: ‘mont, the hardest scoring course in America, Sam Parks, an apprentice professional who had never won Aa hampionship of any importance, orn all the honors. He was the ,only man in the huge field even to break 300.
that can naapen once it can Fhappen again. As a matter of fact it has happened several times. The
Open is not always won by the best |; 40 f
er. Though it is frequently won by the golfer who happens to be the _ pest shot at the moment. This is
something else the dopester has no |g
. way of*knowing in advance.
There has been a general belittle- | *
ment. of Parks’ 1935 victory at Oakmont and no doubt some of it is ~ Justified because the young man hasn't done anything since; but ‘it #hould be remémbered in the final pound when the pressure was great‘he kep: even step with par from the fourth % the sixteenth green, the most consistenth scoring any of the leaders was able to produce when the chips were down. In short, Parks was good when he had to be good. He was at the top of his came at a time when every
and then you will hear another song of the ark Shovse,
boys are saying putting will ‘A win the Open this week. Putting generally always wins the Open. How could it be otherwise when half the game is played on the greens? Parks won the Open last year because he was putting better than anybody else. It probably will: be the same when the final scores are d here. he player who has had the most ate line to the can will receive p silverware and the gilt. It may Picard, Smith or Sarazen—an again it may be some totally unheard of gent named Joseph P. ues. of this would seem to suggest the Open is a mad, impractical h “with no bearing on superlative kill and that it might be much betfor sports, human sanity and the untry at large if the tournament ‘played by telegraph like chess e annual swimming meet beSardis, Miss., and Long Island ,’but, happily, it isn't as con: d and scrambled as that.

Ex-Champ Agrees to Rematch With Nebraska Farmer
Sonnenberg and Fraley Are Paired in Mat Tussle. -
A “rubber” match between Gus Sonnenberg, 210, former undisputed world heavyweight mat king, and Pat (Black Secret) Fraley, 220, powerful Nebraska farmer, is assured
for next Tuesday night at Sports Arena, Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. announced toay. Sonnenberg has accepted an attractive offer for a rematch, Carter reports. The tussle will: bring the pair together for the third time. Fraley, wearing a mask and grappling as the “Black Secret,” went undefeated in local mat warfare in nine tugs, tossing such>wellknown aces as Otto Kuss, Leo Numa and Sonnenberg. In a second clash with Gus on May 19, the Nebraskan was disqualified after each had annexed a fall. Pat's first triumph over Sonnenberg was the first loss the “Dynamiter” had ever suffered in a local ring. Carter rates the Sonnenberg-Fra-ley encounter as a “natural” and believes it will attract a large turnout. of local and state fans to the outdoor arena.

and both hurled a fine’ brand of ball. The trouble was caused by the starting chucker, Bud Tinning, who was solved for seven hits, three walks and six runs in the first three innings. He was derricked in the fourth and Jimmy Sharp relieved and halted the Toledo attack. - Sharp dropped out for _a pinch hitter in the sixth and Tom Gallivan -finished the’ contest on the

sirigles and- a double, the Tribesters outhit the Hens, 10 to 8, but Charles Wesley Flowers, on the Toledo rubber, was effective when real danger threatened. The sixth was a sample of the Hoosiers’ inability to stage a “big” inning. Three Hitters Fail The Indians tallied one marker and then loaded the sacks with nobody out. Three right-handad hitters in a row faced the left-handed slants of Flowers and the ball never got out of the infield. ; Riddle forced Shiver at the plate, Sherlock fouled to catcher Garbark and Jake Flowers popped to Wimpy Jasco back of second. The indians were knocked back on their heels by the washout. The Hens got the breaks in the first round and scored a cluster of three runs on an infield hit, Bluege’s error, Carson’s double, a long fly and +Garbark’s single. And in the third it was another massacre. Two doubles and two singles accounted for a second cluster of three markers and put the game beyond the reach of the Killeferites. The Hens tallied one in the fifth off Sharp, aided by an error, and Indianapolis scored in the’ “second, sixth and ninth. N
Buck Fausett was was Diy at third base and had more than one man’s share of tough chancces. The damp grass annoyed the Indians, but the hustling Hens refused to be bothered.
Two big league scouts were in the stands, Chick Frasier of Brooklyn and Clarence Rowland of the Chicago Cubs. Southpaw Flowers, the Toledo twirler, is owned by the Bruins.
Jim Turner is sla slated to try his assortment against the Hens tonight.” Sullivan is marked up to chuck for the visitors.
Nine bases on balls were issued by Trioe pitchers. Manager Killefer is doing everything possible to correct this fault, but his hurlers keep throwing ‘em wide of the plate.
