: SPORTS. . SIX AMERICANS REMAIN IN RUNNING FOR HONORS Hagen, Present Champion, Barely Qualifies, While| Sarazen, U. S. Title Holder, and Two Other Yankees Fall by Wayside. " By the Assoclated Press, ROON, Scotland, June 13.—The eighty-eight golfers who have quali- T fied in the British open championship tournament rested today in preparation for the seventy-two-hole medal play, beginning tomor- . row, which will determine the champion. tomorrow and two Friday. Two rounds will be played Six Americans are among the eighty-cight who qualified. They are Walter Hagen, the present title holder; Macdonald Smith of California, George Aulbach of Boston, Frank W. Clarke of Asheville, N. C.; Johnny Farrell of the Quaker Ridge Ciub, Mamaroneck, N. Y., and Leo Diegel of Washington, D. C, together with Joe Kirkwood, the Australian cham- i jurer; pion, who now lives in the United States. The Americans who falled to qual- in the two-day test Monday and 'uesday were Gene Sarazen, Amer- lcan golf open champion; T. D. Ar- mour of New York, Jim Barnes of Pelham Manor, N. Y. and Charles | Hoffner of Philadelphia. { The American champion was not| the only titleholder who tried and| fafled. "The veteran Harry Vardon found eonditions too terrible for him. | and Roger Wethered, the British amateur champion, was never good enough to qualify. Aubrey Boomer,, the former French title holder, also | passed out. | Abe Mitchell, George Duncan, Ed-! ward Ray. Alexander Herd, J. H. Tay lor, Cyrit” Tolley and other top notchers in British golf all came | through successfully, Hagen Squeeses Through. Just as those who falled by ome stroke must bring to mind some sin- gle little putt that somewhere on their journey went up to the lip of the cup and then stoppec, so Hagen no doubt looks back and picks out some fortunate stroke that pulled him through. A sympathetic gallery walk- . ed In his wake through the rain and wind. sighing _over his unlucky strokes and )ooking as down-heart- ed as Hagen himself over what seem- ed to be his impending doom. The one stroke that turned him from distress to determination was an iron second made at the sixth hole. | Up to_that moment Hagen looked as though he were lost; his card Mon- | day was §2, and for the fist five holes | yesterday, read 6; 6, 4, 5, 4. Then that | second shot at the sixth carried 13 ards dead to the pin; he got a birdie 3°ana Tollowed thia with"a birdie 2 at the short seventh. He took six at the ninth, where his second shot went beyond the green, but he came | home in even fours, playing his ap- proaches magnificently, and thus slid inside the group who qualified. Hagen had opportunities for some birdies when homeward bound, lip-! ing the cup several times, but all is long putts refused to go down. Sarasen Soon Finds Troumble. Sarazen secemed sure of a place among the elect when he struck off from the first tee vesterday, with a rippling wind blowing from behind him and mist falling all around, for he had made 75 Monday. He was in trouble, however, as soon as that first hole was finished. He topped his dtive off the second tee and took eight for the hole. Thereafter his ball flew from bunker to trap, from " tee to rough with such amazing aw- | fulness that he took 43 to go Jwt and | 42 to come home, visiting seven or eight sandy hazards on the way. Nor oodld he play like a champlon even | after getting the ball on the green, for he missed geveral short putts. “Long Jim" Barnes, with Monday's 80 to beat, started well enough yes- terday, going out in 38, but homeward bound his putting, never brilllant, be- came really bad at times. Ha took 42 to finish the last nine holes. The second hole of the new course, where Sarazen ruined his chances with eight, also killed the hopes that burned in Hoffner's -breast—he got seven there.

The first fifteen on the qualifying list were: | 73 18 73 148 6o 148 74 147 T 149 4 150 78 151 kil 161 kil 152 il 162 73 152 76 152 18 LT -Poter Bobertees . 188 Course s Long One.
