Another former caddie pushed his way into the cir- cle of golf champions yesterday Hills professional, finished the 72 holes of play in the west ern open tournament over his home course with a score of 291, ten strokes better than his nearest competitor. JUNIOR DOUBLES: Twenty-five years ago Brady, a lit tle freckled faced youngster used to caddy at the Commonwealth Country club, near Boston, Mass., and his ability to handle clubs when he was not chasing balls for members caused many of them to remark that “some day that kid's going to be a golfer.” Mike didn’t take long to justify their remarks—to @ certain extent—for as & mere boy he began to annex titles tm minor competition, but it was not until a quarter of @ century later that Mike, his thinning hair tinged with gray won his first major title. That was yesterday. Brady's victory placed five of the six major golf titles of the world ir the hands of former caddies. Waite Hagen, American holder of the Brit ish open learned to shoot as a caddy Geng Sarazen, open title holder, was a caddy arourl Rye, N. ¥., until three years ago; Jesse Gu'lford, national amateur champion learned to play as a caddy, “Chick” Evans, western ame- teur champion, began his golfing life looking for wild shots of others, ond now Brady, also once a caddy, has earned his title. Only the British ama- teur title is held by a player who did not begin Ife or. the links as a caddy.
