The Ryder cup team, led by Walter Hagen, forms the nucleus of the pres- ent invasion, of course, but there are others, both masculine and feminine, who will see what they can do in the way of upholding national pres- tige on foreign links. Hagen's picked squad, which de- fends the Ryder cup against the cream of British professionals at Leeds late this month, leaves on the Mauretania at 5 p.m. today. Hagen, the captain, is the present British open champion; Johnny Far- rell holds the national open crown; Leo Diegel is both the Professional Golfers association title-holder and the Canadian open king; Horton Smith, the “Joplin ghost,” was the sensation of the winter season. The others—Al Watrous, Johnny Golden, Gene Sarazen, Joe Turnesa, Al Espi- nosa and Ed Dudley—all have been playing at top form during recent months. Along with the Ryder cup team will sail Wild Bill Mehlhorn, Tommy Ar- mour, former open title-holder, and George Von Elm, who once held the national amateur crown. These three, along with the whole Ryder cup team. and Macdonald Smith and “Long Jim” Barnes, who already are in Eu- rope, will make an effort to keep the British open championship in Ameri- can keeping. The Mauretania also will take with it Marion Hollins and Marion Turpie, who, with Glenna Collett, the wom- en's national champion, will provide 8 formidable United States threat in the British women’s championship at St. Andrews, starting May 13. Bobby Jones’ smiling face will not be seen abroad this summer.

C. Pyle’s plodding pilgrims today headed for Waynesburg, Pa., on the 11th leg of their 3,400 mile trek. The runners have covered 437 miles. During the last three days they Crossed the Cumberland and Alle- gheny mountains, heat and rain com- bining to make their journey un- comfortable. Yesterday they traveled 63 miles from Cumberland, Md., to Uniontown, climbing to a height of 2,500 feet, while surmounting the Peaks of the AYeghenies, Today's jaunt is 33 miles.

Fields Recognized Official Champion In Old Home Town Chicago and Pacific Coast Will Back Him Against Joe 10.—(P)—Jackie Fields, 22-year-old Chicago boy, be rated as a synthetic welterweight champion in some places but in his own home town he is a world’s cham- A graduate of the Chicago Ghetto and Olympic featherweight champion in 1924, Jackie has convinced the home town fans that he is the right man to top his division. By defeating Young Jack Thomp- son, Fields qualified for the welter- weight championship under a ruling by the National Boxing association which held that Joe Dundee had for- feited his right to the crown because he refused to defend his title. This makes Fields the titleholder in the 26 states governed by the N. B. A. In several other States, which are guided by the decisions of the New York, state boxing commission, Fields still ranks as just a contender, since the New York group recognizes Dun- dee as the champion. If Jackie could have had a little better luck in two New York fights during the last two years, he ‘might stand higher in that region.
