He also won 51 1919 at Brae-Burn after a tie with Jlike Brady of Brae-Burn. Is Comsistent Golfer. Regarded by many close students r? the game as the most consistent professional in the world in compe- on, Hagen's game always has jien characterized by his grit under fire. This quality, present in only champlon golfers. was admirably own last week when, after leading ihe fleld for two rounds, he took 74 in his third trip and then came back with a scintillating 72 over the difficult course at Sandwich. Hagen's grit has been demon- rirated so many times in the United States that professional golfers have come to realize that when for two three or even four shots behind at e end of the first day of & 72-hole tournament he must eb considered as %.aving an even chance to win. Hagen reached the l'nited States turday, bringing with him the historic British trophy, years than at any time in the three- kcore years of its existence. With 1he exception of 1908, when Arnaud Massy of France won, the cup never had been out of the British Isles until Hutchison took the title last year. ® Hagen and Joe XKirkwood, the ‘Austrian__champion, ~probably will come to Washington during the sum- er to engage in an exhibitioin con- test during his_tour of the country with the trick shot maker.

While Hagen failed to spread- the American open titular event last ame in the list of golfing supermen. ional who has held the United States Jock Hutchison, who won_ the British American classic. He finished only in 1920. jopen. The only big event he has not won is the Gleneagles, Scotland, News of the World tourney, in which he did not play this year. In ad- dition to the American open, Hagen also has won the title of western open, North and South open, Metro- politan, P. G. A., Florida open, and has won countless open tournaments. He finished in‘a tie with Fred Mc- Leod for second place in the Amer- ican open at Columbia last year after appearing hopelessly out of it at the conclusion of the third round. Probably Hugen's greatest asset, next to grit, is his remarkable temperament. Néver hurried or wor- ried over a bad shot, Hagen just goes ahead playing golf, satisfied with the hope that one long putt will make up for a missed shot through the fair- W This hope is so frequently realized that his brother profes- sionals never count the hole won when Hagen tops & brassie or finds a bunker from the tee. Fred McLeod tells a story illustrat- ing Hagen's temperament, which shows that the new British title- holder does not let anything bother him, either on the golf course or elsewhere. Never Is in a Hurry. When members of the American professional team were in a hotel last vear just before the Aquitania was to sail for the United States, with about ten minutes in which to reach the boat, they missed Hagen. Sud- denly in rushed Hagen in golf clothes and proceeded to change. He just made the boat. When asked why he did not huery, he said: “Why bother about hurrying? 1 made the boat, didn’'t 1?7 That instance is Hagen temperament. Always in & good humor. Hagen never lets a missed shot bother him. Probably that, more than the mechanical ex- cellence of his golf, is responsible for his remarkable string of vie- tories. Endowed by nature w thick wrists and powerful shoulders, Hagen can literally tear a ball out of the high grass, many times winning the hole by the excellence of his recov- @y shots. He is fully as good out of the rough as was H. Chandler Egan, an amateur champion of fif- teen years ago. who was noted for his_ability to get out of trouble. Hagen appeared to have lost his putting stroke about a vear ago for a short time, but quickly recovered it and during the southern events last winter was putting better than any of the other professional players. typical of the STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE GAN, British open champion, and his golfing partner, Joe Kirkwood, are to visit the Columbia Country Club in the fall to give an exhibition match.

While Bill Tilden, the champion, will be ab- sent and there wili be no American man racketer of exceptional note competing, the possible meeting of Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, United States titleholder, and Mile. Lenglen, world tennis queen, who are at log- gerhead in all respects, hax keyed to a high pitch the followers of the net game on both sides of the Atlantic. Mrs. Mailory and Mile. Lenglen have been drawn on opposite sides of the bracket and.all that is essential now is for the French gir! not to retire on account of her “bad heart” and for the two heated rivals to win their way to the final. Molla has been fa- vored by getting on the weak side of the draw. Like Fremch Girl's Chunces. Molla's greatest obstacles to reach- ing the titular stage are Mrs. Beamish and Mrs. Satherwaite, while in_Su- zanne's part of the bracket are Miss McKane, who defeated the American player in the flnal of a recent tour- ney; Elizabeth Ryan, the California girl, who eliminated Mrs. Mallary last year in the semi-final and Mrs. Peacock. According to British ex- perts Mrs. Satherwaite, Mrs. Peacock, Miss Ryan and Miss McKane are like- iy to dispose of Mrs. Mallory, while they concede that only Miss McKane has a chance against Mlle. Tenglen; that is, if the French girl is playing in anything like her best form. Miss McKane, in fact, who is still in her teens, is the hope ot the Brit- ons. She is a strong, vigorous player fho only has been competing in high- class tennis for a couple vears. She has a good service and a fine all around game, but it is her volleying ! jthat has brought her so quickly to the front ranks. But everybody on this side of the Atlantic. and a great majority on the other side, aye pulling for Molla and Susanne to reach the final round and settle their feud, which has grown to international proportions. since the French- girl, pleading illness, sob men’s and women's doubles and the e tennis committee of the Dumbarton 24.—Al- | Club until late this evening.

However, if Willlams con- tinues to play the tennis he displayed here last week in the Chevy Chase invitation tourney he will have & grand chance of being finalls!
