' DUAL GOLF TITLEHOLDER (Wl UNDECIDED AS TO FUTURE STATUSAS AN AMATEUR Fownes Predicts Gene Will Develop Into Greatest Golfer World Ever Knew—Beats French 4 and 3 in Grueling Struggle. ITTSBURGH, August 19.—Gene Sarazen, the Pittsburgh double- barreled golf genius, projected suddenly to the highest pinnacle of the game's fame, today was swamped with messages congratula- ting him on .annexing the national professional championship at the treacherous Oakmont links here yesterday. His future course was un- decided. He had before him today a dozen invitations for lucrative en- gagements. The dizzy speed maintained by the youthful Sarazen, who, until a few months ago, was scarcely known in golfing circles, was predicted by experts to be capable. of carrying him victoriously through the Profes- sional Golfers' Association events which now face him. W. C. Fownes, jr., internationally known golfer, said today that Gene would develop into the greatest golfer the world has ever known when slight weak- nesses in putting were overcome. The golf monarch’s friends say he devotes hours of practice daily to perfection of his game. Gene's caddy in the tournament just closed, Harry Melion, today had a new VICTOR HONOR GUEST AT OAKMONT BANQUET ‘B, Lundred doliar bill.

The club has within the past few days obtained an option on 111 acres of land, known as the Patten tract, located adjacent to the present club holdings on the west. The option is the result of several proposals for enlarging the club property, which have been made at various times, urged on by the crowded condition of the present golf course.

Mann declared that he always had known Douglas to be “on the square” and expressed surprise that the Glant hurler had been found guilty of the act for which he was barred from the national pastime by Manager John McGraw and Commissioner K.

Other officials of the club, including Hi Mason, vice president, and Clar- Lloyd, secretary, also refused to e matter. ioner Landis made the let- mm ter public at Chicago yesterday. It follows: 5 “New York, August 7. “To Dear: “I want to leave here, but I want some ipducement. I don’t want this guy to win the pennant, and I feel if [ stay here I will win it for him.

Regards to all. “PHIL DOUGLAS.” Douglas has admitted he wrote the letter, when he believed he had been released by McGraw for breaking club rules. “I was broke,” the big pitcher said, “I thought McGraw had fired me. I haven't got any way of making a liv- ing except in base ball, and I was sore on McGraw. I had to do some- thing for a living so I wrote to Mann.” “I'm not sore at Mann because he turned the letter over to Rickey. It was all my fault. A . I just didn’t realize what I was do- ng.” Shoot at Gun Club. A special distance handicap trap- shoot of 50 targets is being held this afternoon at Washington Gun Club. The shoot, on the fleld near the east end of Benning Brodge, was to start the fncreasing number of golfers, ex-( ghortly. tension of the property was seriously considered, and a few days ago a proposition was put up to the board of governors for acquiring the neca: sary land.

The reason is J. T. Zachary. “The Noath Cahlinian has won his last ¢hree games with consummate ease, the haughty Browns being his victim in two of them, and, unless he shows a 'marked reversal of form, it is un- likely either Bagby or Boone, the lat take his measure. Evidence that the old hoodoo Brickson held on the Indians is not only dead, but burled, was furnished yesterday, When, with the ‘score standing 4 to 1 In favor of Washing-| ton in the sixth inning, the Redskins | climbed Olaf's massive frame and; chased him to cover, collecting enough runs to tide Morton over to ‘victory, place the tribe on even terms with the fourth-place White Sox and buoy their hopes of landing & first-division berth. Errors Upset: Erie. Ever since Eric broke into profes- slonal base ball he has developed a tempermental streak whenever any of his support makes an error. Against Cleveland the big blonde was going like a streak yesterday until Shanks made a wild heave to first of Stephenson’s slow roller in the sixth stanza, the Indian going all the way to third. Then to make & good job pitch, although the officlal scorer said | it was a passed ball. Then followed 4 single, a triple, an out, and then another single, and the four-run lead of the Griffs was tied. Then came the grand finale when Morton, endeavor- ing to sacrifice, rolled one toward Erfc. Judge came dashing in, leav- ing first uncovered and Harris loitered He gathered up that roller, cut rolled out to Brower, O'Nelll reaching | third and Morton second. Grifts Get Good Start. ‘The Griffs got a good start, scor- ing two runs In the first inning on Judge's single to center and Goslin's mighty rap to right that went over amieson’s head, rolling clear to the fence for an easy home run. In the third another taily went up, the re- sult of a base on balls to Rice, a stolen base, a short single to left and a force out, the Indians laying back for a double play on Judge and failing by a step. The Indians also made a run in this round, the result of Jamieson's smash to right for bases and a sacrifice fly by Melnnis, The Griffs kept up the good work in the fourth, adding another run to their total. Goslin walked, went to third on Brower's single to center, | and then home when Shanks singled | into the same territory. Then came the futeful sixth, when the Indians | batted clear around, scored five runs and practically_put the game on ice. Four hits off Erickson, including a triple by Wood, two off Brillheart, with the misplays of Shanks and| Erickson, did the work. Both sides scored a run in the eighth and then called it a day. CAUGHT ON THE FLY Picinich has a wicked whip. Joey Sewell will vouch for that. Joey strayed 100 far from the initial bag, here he had gone on a pass, and while Wood was at the plate a pitch- out gave Val his opportunity.

This | was decided yesterday by the series executive committee. A three-game play-off of the tie was first proposed, but the teams involved favored a series that would permit two contests for a club with each of the others. As the series is to be played on six successive days, weather permitting, there will be much work for the pitching staffs. This should not bother the Shamrocks and Dominican Lyceums, who have several good hurlers ready, but the Sherwoods will be handicapped somewhat.

DOUBLES NET MATCHES ON TODAY AT NEWPORT CASINO, Newport, R. 1, August 19.—With the Casino singles tourna- ment counted among the tennis suc- cesses of “Little Bill" Johnston of San Francisco for the first time in his many years' quest of it, interest in the racket play has turned to the doubles competition. This interest was served in a dra- matic manner in one of the two semi- finals matches. The old Davis cup combination of Wiilliams and Wash- burn won its way to todav's final by defeating S. H. Voshell, New York, and E. W. 8—6, 7—5, but the Kinsey brothers of San Francisco, Howard and Robert, went ahead after what was virtually ! a straight set defeat. The Cochet-Niles vs. Kinsey broth- ers match was the best of the tour- nament to date, notwithstanding the one-sided scores. —Bv BUD FISHER. we MY WIEFE TLE CICERYD’ Davis, San_Francisco, 6—4, | mperiousness that has s begun.
