" “TOO GOSH-DARNED LAZY,” - SAYS YANKEE OF YOUTHS Walter Thinks Americans Should Stay ‘at Home for a Few Years—Question of Whether Sport Should Be Amusement or Science Revived Abroad. s T By the Associated Press. L ONDON, vounger ones are News. Hagen, In an interview just before lea June 26.—British golfers need pep and fight, while the “too gosh-darned lazy,” American professional, as quoted by in the epinion ok Walter the London livening ving London for the United States, Hagen related what he thinks is the trouble with British golf, especially in view of the sweep which Americar championships. Hagen, as quoted by the newspaper, in fact th for American golfers to stay at home awhile, let Bri own championships for a few years and then go back to mxernanonnll play. The . as follows: *‘When people ask me why it is you Britishers get licked at golf I've only got one answer and that is a ques- tion—Why don't the young golfers of this country go to work at golf and why don't they treat it the same as work? They're too gosh darned lazy, it seems to me. “I'm only saying this because 1 think it is true and it will do good. A lazy man cannot win championships at anything in the world today. He's got to work at golf und then he's got to train himself to be a match player: to cut out the ne s stuff and tell himself there's a_hole ahead down which he is sure he is going in the minimum number of strokes. They want 10 get some pep and fight in them. “Sportsman Stuff” Irkes Hagen. “It aggravates me sometimes when 1 happen to beat some British golfer | gver here and then some friend of | his comes to me and says, ‘But, still, he s an awfully good sportsman.’ Sure he is a pretty good sportsman, but so are most golfers. What he should be is a darn good goifer. Never mind about the sportsman stuff. That follows if he is a_good golfer. “Now, 1 don't belleve we Americans will come over here for the champion- ships for a few years. What's the good of coming over here if all we are going to do is beat one another? That doesn't do us any good. We could do that at home. 1 think the best thing would be to let the British- ers win their own championships for few years, and then we can come and try to beat them at it. You see you have only got a few old-timers who are wonderfully good | golfers but poorish match players, who | often don't play really well in cham. | pionships. There are very few young ones coming along who even play golf at home as well as the ok timers. 1'd Hike to see some of them take off their shirts and get to work with kick and pep. The English pe ple are too inclined to let themselves be consoled by the sportsman dope. Amusement or Sclence. The American victories on the golf links have revived in lively manner the discussions which have arisen from time to time ever since American sportsmen began to come to the Old Country and carry off sporting lau- rels over the question of whether sport should be amusement or sci ence. Hagen's remarks on the meth- ods of British golfers only serve to put more pointedly what has been in the minds of most British sport lovers whenevep they sorrowfully watched the national sports trophies crossing the Atlantic. Mary K. Browne, captain of the victorious American Wightman Cup team, has said much the same thing, though not quite so robustly as Ha- gen, about British lawn tennis—that the British player thinks more of en Joying himself than winning the game. It is too early yet for comment on Hagen'’s views, but the newspapers were already airing the subject be- fore he spoke. The Evening Stand- .\rd for instance, usks whether, after he British method is not the best, s that even if Miss Browne has made the right diagnosis, *‘possi- bly it would be better to continue be- ing wrong in our own way rather than start being right in Americas wa. ening News quotes Hagen irim Efficiency” Decried. Suggesting that it is ironic to speak of such grimly efficient persons as Suzanne Lenglen and Vincent Rich- ards as “players,” the Standard say: “It & man play with his heart and soul, but not give up the whole of his life to what should be no more than part of it. England will never be done so long as we play games in the spirit which is native to us -playing them because we enjoy them."” The Star, commenting on Bobby Jones' triumph, says that Americans have shone on the putting green where the Englishman is weakest. “The difference,” it adds, “i8 per- haps one of mentality. The English- man is out in the main for sport and exercise, a desire which is more gratified by spectacular play in long \hols than in patient attention to the s strenuous business of holing the bal] The Star also makes reference to “the far greater material encourage- ment American players receive than English.” Dritish golf writers are devoting unusual attention to Bobby Jones' prowess; his methods are minutely analyzed. Thelir word is that he is “just a genius.” “Life and Death The Sunday Observer's expert, commenting on the Americans’ un- questioned superiority on the putting green, remarks: “One reason is that they cultivate a much fiercer out- ook on golf than we do here; Business.” them it Is a life and death business. Jiditorially the Observer says: “There can be no blinking of the fact that golf protessionals as a body have been outclassed, and the moral is one to be digested at leisure. As for Jones, he is beyond doubt the most proficient player vet seen in any country.” The “debated question of applying sclence and sacrifice to games also is discussed in connection with tennis. The Weekly Dispatch has collected some prominent views on this sub- ject. Mlle. Lenglen laughed at the idea that she was a “martyr” to the game. ' Suzanne declared she had Joved the game from a child ‘¥nd that she followed the ordinary normal life, with no special diet, and enjoyed the- aters, dancing and movies. - Helen Wills, likewise, said there was no reason why a tennis player should live differently than other peo- ple. She had never found severe training necessary, and the only real hardship came from excessive de- mands on one's time. Jean Borotra also complained of the great sacrifice of time, but asserted that he made no other sacrifices. Both Borotra and Henri Cochet admitted that they do not smoke, but other- wise deprived themselves of no pleas- ures in life. On the other hand, Jacques Brug- non declared he kept fit by smoking heavily . and doing everything he ought not to do. Mrs. L. A. Godfree (the former Kitty McKane), winner of many champlonships, said she followed 1o speclal diet, but, on the contrary, led the most normal life possible, 1 golfers have made in recent British sh golfers win their INTEBNATIQNAL I.EAGUE First game— AL T ermann_and Morrow: Leverenz.

It was well into the evening when she tripepd into the picture and went through the motions of a mixed doubles contest with Jean Borotra as co-partner. In the meantime numerous notabili ties and a huge holiday crowd had watched the two matches put on after Suzanne's was due to start and had grown decidedly impatient at the de- lay. The spectators, however, were kind to the French girl, and though she really only walked through the match, letting Borotra do virtually all the work, she had a cordial hand when she left the court. H. I P. Aitkin and Miss B. C. Brown were the English pair oppos: ing Mlle. Lenglen and Borotra, and they were no match for the French team, who won, 6—3, 6—0. Richards Gets Mixed. Vincent Richards, due to start with Howard Kinsey in the second round . |of the doubles, was also tardy in ap- pearing, and it seemed for a time that this crack American team might have to forfeit. The American manage- ment offered the opposing pailr, E. L. Jones and J. L. Carr, a walkover, but the Englishmen declined to acept. It was explained later that the trouble was due to a misunderstand- ing regarding the time of play on Richards’ part, and he and Kinsey finally went in and downed their op- ponents to the score of 6—1, 6—2.
