Associated Press Sports Writer EW YORK, June 8—Five great golfers came home today from the golfing wars in Burope furnishing a_guard of honor for the British open champion- ship cup, which arrived at quarantine s sixth consecutive annual visit. 'he famous 60-vear-old trophy was greeted by customs officers as an old friend and given the freedom of the port for the eighth time in the last nine years Walter Hagen, who won the British cup for the fourth time at Muirfield last month, was assisted in seeing it afely into the United States by Johnny Farrell, Horton Smith, Joe Turnesa and Ed Dudley. The other members of the Ryder Cup team preceded their fellows home. Hagen, who captained the Ryder Cup | team, was enthusiastic over the wide- | spread travels he and his mates enjoyed. | Since the team sailed April 10, membes played in Great Britain, France, Ger- many, Italy and the Irish Free State. Warmly Received Everywhere. received every “I was proud of “We were warmly where,” said Hagen the great impression our fellows made, both as golfers and sportsmen. Our trip did a great deal for golf and was good for us, too. “Of course I,am immensely pleased that I was able to win the British open for the fourth time. Perhaps my ex- perience won for me. I found out long ago that you can't do anything about the weather, so you have to adapt your game to the con- ditions. The rule governing play one day won't work the next.” “The Haig" w record-breaking 67 in the second round at Muirfield, the lowest 18-hole score recorded in the British open “That was one day I avoided doing the silly things a fellow when he is playing n important round of golf. Every- | thing I tried worked out.’ Enthusiastic Over Prince. The British champion was enthusi- astic over his round at Swindley Forest Club, nearL ondon, with the Prince of Wales. “The prince is onc of the keenest idents of golf T have ever seen,” he said.

By the Associated Press ERLIN, Germany, June 8 —Berlin soclety and the American colony turned out in force today to make Heleh Wills' first appear- ance of the tennis season here gala occasion. A capacity crowd of 000 saw the queen of American tennis win in_her customary decisive fashion, but defeat of both her teammates gave the German girls a lead of 2 to 1 in the first day’s matches of the internation cries. Miss Cross Defeated. Playing without stockings while Ger= man notables, including the former Crown Prince Frederick in an obscure bleacher seat, looked down from packed stands, Miss Wills easily disposed of the German star, Paula von Reznicek, 6—3, 6—2. Fraulein Irmgard defeated Miss Marjorie Morrill of Dedham, Mass., in the bpening match, 8—10, 7—5, 6—2, however, and Fraulein Cecilie Aussem completed the day by downing Miss Edith Cross of San Francisco, 6—1, Fraulein von Reznicek held her own for a time with Miss Wills, winning the first, third and fifth games of the first set, but tired quickly as the American star ran her from one side of the court to the other with baselne shots. All the games were marked by sustained bascline shots from the back courts. “he usual ovation greeted Miss Wills as she carefully placed the final win- ning points amid a bombardment of | clicking cameras. Her backhand shot | pariTcularly drew stcady applause throughout the match Although disclaiming any interest in | the stocking issue that has arisen over the coming play at Wimbledon, both | Miss Wills_and Miss Cross played to- day with short socks rolled at the top of their shoes. Fraulein von Reznicek met the issue by wearing both long silk stockings and short white Socks. Miss Wills said after the matches that she was perfectly willing to play either with or without stockings during the British championships according to the preference of Wimbledon officials. “I don't want to have it seem as if there was a ‘situation’ when I am sure there is none” she said: “it is 8 mat= ter of complete indifference to me whether I play in stockings or not.

The bright spot in the Joplin, Mo, youngster's trip came when he scorsd two 66s in the French profesional championship, winning first place on his birthday next day with a 72- | hole score of 273. “Yes, the ball got quite a roll at St. Cloud,” he said, in accounting for his two sensational rounds. “I managed to | keep out of trouble and the ball did the rest. No, I did not play with teel shafts. All my steel-shafted clubs were left in New York.” Young_Smith has never seen the Winged Foot course where the United | States open will be played this month.
