Open Golf Title Fairly Earned by Walker : Nationals Hope to Climb in Cleveland | SLENDER PRO, WITH 300, BEATS JONES 3 STROKES Small, But Long-Hitting, New Champ: on Shoots Most Consistent Game Ever Recorded in Event. Diegel and McLeod Far Back. BY W. R. McCALLUM. AKLAND HILLS COUNTRY $500 and with prospects of O New Jersey, was on his way back to CLUB, Detroit, June 7.—Richer by a good financial year ahead of him, Cyril Walker, long-hitting, slender pro at the Englewood Club of the skeeter state today carrying with him the United States open golf championship, annexed yesterday over one of the finest fields ever gathered for the event. Ahead of Walker, slow and careful in his game, but one of the sweet- est golfers that ever hit a mashie shot, looms a year bright with promise, for when a professional wins the op to him in the way of material returns. en championship it means something To Bobby Jones, whom he dis- placed late yesterday afternoon as title holder, it means nothing but a very great honor, while to Walker the championship will bring not only the evanescent fame that goes with pionship, but something more subst the winning of an important cham- antial in the form of fat purses for exhibition matches and other incidentals that probably will run his year's carnings up above $50,000. Walker is champion by virtue of four of the most consistent rounds ever recorded in an open champion- Not a round of the four was and not one was under 7 had three T4s and one 75, the last orded vesterday afternoon when had the championship laid aw: the twelfth hole, with Hagen. res and Mehlhorn, the only others with a chance, in, and all” 300 or over. Back to Atlanta today is traveling fine sportsman, Bobby Jones, the wko until vesterday wore the crown. But Bobby doesn't feel at all badly about losing his champion- #hip. He is rather glad it is all over, for Bobby is embarked on a business career and his golf days, except for teurnaments, are getting to the point where he will soon join the twic week brigade. "he first man to congratulate the new champion yesterday as he holed the three-foot putt that gave him a seventy-two-hole total of 237 was Liobby Jones, the same smiling Bobby | of Inwood, no longer champlon, but bearing himself with the modesty and grace that has endeared the southern youngster to thousands of people the country over, and just a few steps behind were the rest of the pros, for Walker is popular with his fellow brethren of the golf brigade. Next to congratulate the new champion, however, was our own Leo Diegel, who finished away down the list, with 316, playing with Walk- er. but yet had ‘a good time, for he brought in the new title holder. Walker Small in Size. Our new United States open cham- plon is a little chap, methodical and pleasant, careful to the extreme, and a_golfer who, notwithstanding his size, holds his own with the longe: hitting pros in the world. Against Diegel he was out in front consi ently, and Leo is one of the longest hitters in the bunkered nation. Care and a positive genius for getting the ball in the hole from ten feet down are the outstanding characteristics of the new title holder. He is slow, to be sure, but he is much faster than the Cyril Walker of three years ago, 80 much faster that he does not ap- pear to be the same man. Gone are the habits, tiresome to the extreme, of past vears, for Cyril used to walk 150 yards ahead of a mashie shot to look” over the ground, and used to pick up every speck on the putting green, he doesn't do that now, but he still is careful. Born thirty-three vears ago in the famous mercantile town of Manches- ter, England, the 115-pound title holder came to the United States ten vears ago, and located at the Racebrook Club of Connecticut. He went to Englewood five years ago and has been there ever since, a favorite with castern golfers and a man re- spected by the professionals as one of the keenest students of the game plaving the tournament _circuit. Walker learned his game at Hoylake, England, the famous course in the north of England. where history has been made by Américan amateurs and professionals, Walker was the man of destiny all the v through this championship, Just as Max Marston was at Floss- moor last year, even though Bill Mchihorn had figured it was his turn to win. Jones' Putter Falls Him. Calamity Jane, the tool that Bobby Jones calls a putter, blew him right out of his title, for had Bobby had the breaks on the green yesterday that Walker had he still would be open champion. Bobby has vet to hole a ten-foot putt. They simply would not drop for the defending champion, and as the ball insisted on running around the lip of the cup, his championship slowly receded from view. Nine thousand people milling from home to tee and from tee to green, watched the great Bobby putt his championship away and sorrow- ed with him in the doing, while five holes back came Walker, breezing along with strokes to spare. He could have taken a seven at the eightcenth hole and still have won by a shot. Bobby, however, deserves all the credit that should go to one of the greatest golfers who ever lived. The breaks wouldn't come and nothing went just right, but still Bobby plugged along, hoping the putting streak would materialize. The tenth hole, & terrifying, bunkered affair of 460 vards, was Eobby's real downfall in this tournament. That and the that wouldn't drop. For Thurs- afternoon Bobby took a 6 at the tenth and again vesterday afternoon when that 6, had it been converted into a 4, would have kept him in the struggle. After that Bobby's stout heart faded and when he took a 5 at the fourteenth. all hope was lost. He could still get in under 300, but he took three putts from the edge of the sev- enteenth green. Yet he got a_good 4 4t the eighteenth to beat William Mehlhorn of St. Louis by a shot. Bob- by's 78 yesterday afternoon is the first time’in four years of open cham- pionship golf that he has been over 75. 1f he isn't the finest golfer in this country, then there is nothing in comparative figures, Hagen Six Shots in Rear. Bobby led Hagen by two shots, the sleek-haired former champion finish- ing with 303, six shots back of the winner, in a tie with Bob Cruickshank of Inwood fame and MacDonald Smith, whom the dopesters had picked as a favorite for the title. Abe Espi- tnosa of California, the only pro who plaved the entire seventy-two holes in a coat, finished in sixth place, a shot in front of Mike Brady, who also was regarded as one of the dark horses over this testing course. Leo Diegel, with 316, was well down, out of the money, although he proved a fine pace maker for the mew champion, while Fred McLeod, with an 80 and 86 vesterday was away down with 323. The course was 100 long for Fred and left him with too much to do on the putting greens, while the high wind that blew yes- terday didn’t help the Columbia pro a whit. Diegel, far behind at the start and not hitting his shots at all well, grew careless in the afternoon and tried to help Walwer rather than play his own game, with the in- evitable result. —Diegel putted better vesterday, but the long game was not so_~ond. Walker, with a T4 at noon yester- @ay, had tied with Bobbv Jones for the lead for Bill_Mehlhovn, who was tied with Bobby Thursday right. dropped a shot and was 223 at the 54th hole against 222 for both Walker and Jomes. Everybody thouzht Bobby would surely repeat, thereby setting a record for the smateur contingent, but where Bobby’'s game fell away in the after- noon, Walker's game grew stronger. Result Upsets the Dope. The dope had it that the strain of seventy-two holes would tell on Walkers slender frame, while Bobby's extra poundage, backed by the finest game of golf in the world, would carry him throuzh to victory The reverse proved to be true, for Bobby slipped and Walker waxed stronger, and with the bit in his teeth, breczed home an easy winner. | Walter Hagen picked up three shots on the out nine, but blew them away | at_the sixteenth and seventeenth to | put him well back. Walter's crown- | ing blow came at the water hole—the | sixteenth—where, with the wind in | his face. he pushed his mashie-iron shot into the pond and took 6. After that he was through. While Bill Mehlhorn, whom many had figured as | the next champion, blew the title |away on the long twelfth, where | Jessa Guilford got an ecagle 3 and | Mehlhorn a “snappy” 6, mostly by his too intimate acquaintance with bunk- | ers. There's a peculiar phychology in this medal-play golf. A fine putt or a shot dead to the pin gives hope, but a missed shot or two car- ries with it a double dose of depres- sion. ~ That's the way it was with Mehlhorn yesterday After the twelfth he didn’t seem to be the same Bill. And although he got a fine 4 at the damp sixteenth, he had taken three putts on the fifteenth and found the rough off the tee at the eight- eenth for a 5. Bill will win some | day, but he must keep his ball in the | straight and narrow path to do_ it The game Is too exacting in the ficree heat of competition nowadays to stray far afield. Walker Careful on Greens. Taking great care, particularly on |the putting ~ greens, Walker could have wasted a brace of shots from the twelfth in and still have won. He s 5 on the eleventh vesterday af- ternoon, missing a ten-foot putt for his 4, and got another 5 at the long twelfth, where his pitch failed to get dead and he lipped the cup. But he nearly holed a deuce at the short thirteenth and again lipped the cup for an eagle 3 at the fourteenth, He did finally drop a shot at the fif- teenth, where he stuck a fine iron shot into the wind-up upon the hill- top green, and took three putts, but |Cyril’ knew the way the game was going and guided by Diegel's short iron shot, which found the water hazard at'the sixteenth, stuck one up eight feet from the pin'and ran down the putt for a birdie 3. From then on everything was rosy for the coming champion. He could not lose and he knew.it. He laid a high iron shot up alongside the hole at the seventeenth and nearly holed a 2. At the eighteenth he had strok to spare, and when he hooked his tee shot to the rough it didn’t make any difference. When he holed his short putt for a 5 and a 267 total what a vell went up. It sounded like a col- iege foot ball game with the cheer leaders working hard Walker worked hard to win this championship and his victory <was well earned. He will be a fine cham- pion. CHAREST AND KUNKEL IN FINAL AT TENNIS Clarence Charest and Paul Kunkel, who survived the semi-finals in the |Wardman Park tennis tournament yesterday, were to face today at 1:30 clock in the final. Play in the semi-finals of the doubles also will start today at 3:30 |o'clock. ~Mangan and Kunkel were to face Robertson and Purinton, while Johnson and Charest tackle Gore and Van Vliet. Mangan was eliminated in the singles, 6—3, 4—6, 6—1, by Charest, whose fine playing was one of the high lights of _the tournament. Kunkel won the right to appear in the singles final by administering a 10—8, 6—4 beating to John Temple Graves, Ir. RUTH IS CLIMBING. By the Associated Press.

Miss Wills not only defeated a fin- ished male player in S. H. Jarvis of the Harpenden Club, but carried D. M. Grelg to 7—9 in & set in which she was at one time two points from vic- tory. Greig ranks among the first twelve on the British courts. The California girl was content to play entirely from the base line|r against Jarvis and pulled through without a great deal of trouble to win at 8—6. Despite this victory, the spectators were not prepared for the showing she made against Greig: in fact, many thought she would be unable’ to take a single game from such a strong player. After Greig had won the first game on his service at lowe Miss Wills dropped the lackadaisical style of her play against Jarvis and went to the net, where by well placed volleys she won the second game, 5—3. The games then went alternately with service and against it they reached deuce and then 6-all. The thirteenth game was hotly contested, the girl finally taking it on Greig" service after deuce had been called four times. In the next game, with Miss Wills two points from victory. Greig pulled himself together and turned the tide with several fast drives which barely skimmed the net. He then took the fifteenth and six- teenth in succession to win the set, Miss Wills, however, fighting gamely to the end and forcing the last game to deuce several times 300 IN OLYMPIC TESTS.

BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, June 7.—Above the .500 mark at this stage of the cam ‘ paign for the first time in several seasons as a reult of a 2-to-0) victory scored yesterday in the final game of the Tyger serie-, the Nationals were more than eager today to get at the Indians, who so far have done little other than help fatten the winning percentages of opponents. And the Tribe probably will suffer more if the outfit piloted by Bucky Harris plays here the same brand of base ball that tamed the Tygc'rs ir}1| three of four slcrass in Jungletown. n the series that closed yesterday the Nationals played just about the best base ball they have revealed thus far this y:a‘:. )Bre;ks in de- fense were rare, attack generally was powerful and timely, and pitching of unusually high order. Notable were the slabbing efforts of Tom Zach- ary in the first encounter with the Tygers and of Walter Johnson in recording the 104th shutout of his big league career in the fourth struggle.

Pratt Gets Lucky Bingle. Pratt, lead-off batter in the sev- enth, tried to dodge an inside pitch and accidentally pushed the ball into an unguarded portion of left field Cobb rushed Larry Woodall to bat in place of Topper Rigney and the pinch batter made Walter pitch the route before rolling into a double play.

Fred Haney then slammed | to center fleld. but was retired by | Wid Matthews' marvelous catch. Then | Walter passed Ty Cobb and both base | runners advanc. a notch as Wingo rolled out. Bob Fothergill, who won for the Tygers with a hit in the tenth Wednesday, then came up. He met the bal]l and cleanly sent it on a| line toward right, but Judge made a startling grab and the Tygers' scor- ing chances for the day were gone The Nationals too, faced good pitch- ing, served by Earl Whitehill, south- paw, who has performed so sensa- tionally for the Tygers this vear. Whitehill was none too free with his hits, allowing but five, all singles. He struck out three batters and gave bases on balls to as many. Ope Tally Was a Gwt. Erratic Tyger fielding gave the Nationals one of their tallies off Whitehill, but the other was earned cleanly. ‘A sixth safety was gleaned oft Bill Ludolph, right-hand recruit from the Mint League, who hurled in_the ninth. National singles were wasted in the second and third frames. but one was helpful in the fifth.

Wid Matthews and Joe Judge did some stellar fielding in the eighth yesterday, when the Tygers threat- ened to upset Walter Johnson. Mat- | thews made a particularly brilliant catch of Fred Haney's low-curving liner, while Judge speared Bob Foth ergill's wicked drive that would have meant two runs had it continued tu | right for a hit. Harry Hellmann, American League batting king, failed to get a hit in fourteen times up in the series with the Nation: He fanned six times. Heilman also was in a fielding slump. failing to get to a number of lofts in his_direction, dropping one he got under and letting a grounder through him. Doe Prothro got half of the six hit: credited to the Harrismen. He sig- #lod in the third, sixth and ninth in- nings for an afternoon batting ratc lo 2750, After sending Woodall to the plate for Rigney in the seventh Manager Cobb changed his team. When the Nationals came to bat in the eighth Haney had been shifted to short, while Kerr was at third base and Fothergill had replaced Heilmann in | right field. By fanning seven Tygers, Walter Johnson raised his big league strike- out total to 3,135. Heilmann and Rigney were fanned twice each by Walter.
