NEW YORK, June 19.—(United Prees,)}—A hippocket size “pro” is our new open golf champ. But what little Cyril Walker of Englewood, N. J., lacks In physique he es up in gameness. Few golfers ever achieved the open title under a nfenta) handicap such as the diminutive star over- came. One of a field of 84 crack profes- sionals and amateurs who met in championship play over the long and difficult course at Oakland Hills in June, Walker drew a late start- ing time for the closing day's play. As a result, throughout the entire nine holes of his final round, he was subjected to a handicap which has beaten many a famous golfer. He knew just what he had to, beat. Every time Walker was in trouble, he Had to figure: Jones is in with 300 and I've played so and so and if I miss this and take a par four on the next,” etc., etc. The gallery was counting, with every stroke. But little Walker plugged right ahead. A day before the tourna- ment started, few had figured him as a.strong- contender. At the.end of the first day’s play he was up with the leaders, but it Wasn't until the end of his twining round on the closing day thats New Jersey “pro“ loomed up as the darkest of dark horses, threatening Bobby Jones’ title. ‘Walkér's last nine holes were played with consummate courage. but there was one shot that sticks out, and which will go down in golfing history. The sixteenth hole at Oakland Hills is a terror. It was the bane of existence to a niajority of the field this year, and at the bottom of the water hazard which traps many a’ second shot Hes a ball of Walter Hagens, marking the spot where Hagen cracked and threw a his chances. No, 16 is a nasty water hole, the hazard coming on the second shot A long Grive and a second shot equally long are necessary to effect @ par four. Walker had an advantage of one stroke over Jones at this point. Par golf would bring him in victor. His drive was off to the right, badly placed. There was tho green, with the treacherous water hazard intervening, a high' wind whistling across the fairway. To the right of the green were some bunk to whith Walker could play, chancing a five, and making of his stroke ad- vantage, rat! than risk six or seven from a sunken ball. The new champion hesitated, fiddied with @ mid-iron, then with a driving fron, finally he set himself and played his shot straight for the pin. It soared over the yawning water and rolled and rolled, right too, up to the cup, stopping just eigit feet short. Walker said never a word, sank the putt for a three and put the title in his pocket right then and there, “™ eee Tt is always'a source of satisfac: tlon to professionals when a “pro” takes the open title. It means 80 much money to him, a year’s occu- pation as an exhibition player and other material advantages, whereas to an amateur it brings a little glory. However, no amateur ever won the title twice in succession. Oulmet tried, Travers tried, Chick Evans tried. Jones, finishing second, came closer than any of them. This was Walker's first title, He was 23rd in last year's open, with a card of 314. In the professional golfers’ championship that year he was eliminated by Jim Barnes, 8 to 6, in the third round. see Among those present at Colombes stadium when the Olympic games get really under way will be a small but plucky team of athletes from South Africa.

This Betts, running for the South African universities against a visit: ing teant from Oxford last year, reeled off a quarter in :48 4-5. H. P, Kinsman and G. G. Dustin are the sprinters. The former is credited with better than “evens” for the hundred, but Dustin is the more reliable performer of the two.

Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune NEW YORK, June 19.—The foot- ball training of Chester Bowman, more than anything else, made it possible to stage the biggest upset of the Olympic trials at Olympic stadium and win the 100-meter finals, In the intercollegiate and other events, it has been noted that if Bow! was leading at the halt way mark, he seldom finished first. On the other hand, he would almost always, even from a poor start, overtake the man ahead of him until he got in the lead. From that time on, the football instinct to catch the man ahead of him dis. appeared. The Olymple final was run in ex- actly the way to stimulate Bowman to the Imit.
