BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. IGHT now it can be said, without fear of much argu- ment, that Gene Sarazen will make a grand bid to retain the British and United States open golf championships, which we won last Summer. Sarazen is the second man in history to have won both of the world’s major | open championships in one season and no one ever has turned the trick twice in succession. Chances are that no, player ever will turn that trick, but Sarazen is as good & bet for the under- | taking as any golfer you can think of now in the future. | Sarazen put his game into high speed | et Miami last weck when he defeated Olin Dutra of California, 11 and 10, in & scheduled 72-hole match. Now any golfer who can beat Dutra by that margin is shooting &t a clip that can- not be excelled. Dutra seldom was far away from par in his performances, but with | Sarazen pacing around the Florida | course with sub-70 scores, Dutra never | had a chance. And Dutra, mind you, 1s one of the best shotmakers and put- | ters in the game. Against any other | player he would have been an even bet | or better to win the match. ‘ cannot be said that Dutra was off his game. When a fellow is shoot- | ing close to par in that sort of a' match he's good. But when a player turns in the scores made by Sarazen he is a superlative performer. That's what Sarazen was in this match and that's what he was last Summer. It was too bad Sarazen did not qualify for the 1932 P. G. A. champion- | ship for he probably could have made it a grand slam for the season. But | that's water over the wheel and his | victory over Dutra sets him up as world champion just as effectively as though he had won the P. G. A. title at St. Paul. Rating Sarazen and Dutra as the leading professional golfers of the world, and knowing both very well, I believe Gene's superiority over the Cali- fornian may be found in his mental attitude toward the game. Dutra can match Sarazen with any club in shot- making. but he has not vet developed the confident and aggressive attitude Sarazen displays when he goes into a | big competition. Dutra's confidence improved tremen- dously during the past yvear and will | increase still further. Perhaps another meeting of the two stars may find the decision reversed. Y giving a valuable trophy, Henry L. Doherty has placed the world | championship match between the winner of the United States and British open champlonships on a secure and degitimate basis. Heretofore the meet- ings between the United States and British champions, whenever staged, were ™ore or less on a wild-cat basis and ‘hout any particular dignity. ire matches for the world cham- ntp will be played at Miami and a period of years the event may | oome to be one of the big attractions of the Winter season. ‘The Professional Golfers’ Association made an admirable provision in its| selection of the United States Rvder ! Cup team when it left an opening on the squad for the winner of the 1933 United States open champlonship, pro- vided he already was not nominated | and was an eligible homebred | The late dates of the Ryder Cup. matches made it imperative for the| P. G.

Tex. March 6.— It it's true that athletes “just nat- | urally grow” in certain communi- ties. Fort Worth's “north side” would like to advance its claims as one of those spots. Within the past decade or two it has given to the American sporting scene the following. among others: Madison Bell, former coach of the Haskell Indians, now coach at Texas A. & M. College. Pete Donohue, major league pitcher. A. N. (Bo) McMillin, all-America ' quarterback at Centre College and now coach at Kansas State College.

Princeton, defending champion, kept in the running with a 39-35 conquest of Dartmouth, but the Tigers still must defeat Pennsylvania at Philadelphia next Saturday to tie Yale and force a play-off. The only other game re- maining on the schedule pits Dart- mouth against Columbia here tonight. tall Tigers, most powerful offen- sive team in _the circuit, have re-| covered nicely from early-season defeats by Penn and Yale, to chalk up | five successive league victories. They will be favored over Penn, although the third-place Quakers won a 28-21 decl- sion at Princeton early in the campaign. Not only will the game decide whether the Tigers will force a play-off, it also will provide a duel between Princeton’s two flashy forwards, Fairman and Sei- bert. for the league’s individual scoring championship. With only the Penn/ game ahead, Fairman led the fleld with | 92 ints, one more than Seibert and | Earl Nikkel of Yale.

ENE SARAZEN recently said that when a player finds him- self shooting off the line the first thing he should do is to look into his grip. \ In his own study of this vital factor of the golfing swing, Gene reached the sensible conclusion that the foundation of a good grip was to fix the hands on the shaft in such a way that they would not fight each other. The first step in achieving this was to hold the shaft in the fingers and not the palms. A finger grip is used by prac- tically all fine golfers, although there are, of course, those who achieve a very good game without it. It is not only a factor in keep- ing the hands from fighting each other, but it assists the highly es- sential wrist cock and also pro- motes the sense of touch, which is needed not only in all short shots, but, in lesser degree, in the long ones, particularly the long irons. ‘This is a point stressed by Tommy Armour, whose grip sketched above. The pivot is the least understood ml in golf instruction. Joe Glass prepared a leaflet on The Pivot which he will gladly send to any reader requesting it. Inclose & ' Dennings. 5 Myers the better because he has been in contact with it. “Miss Wethered,” says Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, “is the most perfect golfer I ever have seen. As a stylist she is as fine as Bobby Jones. She has the unruffied calm of Walter Hagen, the confidence of Gene Sara- zen and the fighting spirit of Jeas Sweetser. “She is affable, pleasant, cour- teous, reserved, gentle-mannered. And at golf, as I have said, she is as near perfection as I ever dreamed of being. Her drives travel straight down the fairway, her irons run safely to the green, her little chips drop dead to the pin.” Coming from the source it does, that is real praise. Mrs. Vare and Miss Wethered have had more than one hard battle on the links and only one cr two of those slips which no rival of the English girl can make and survive kept the accomplished (;llenm from win a = ship. qunlmed observers who have fol- lowed Miss Wethered's nr?ny that stamped, pe. sddressed envelo] (Copyright. 1933.) never in any shot have they caught signs of strain or effort. Every shot is as natural as the movement of & hand; every swing a dream of tim- ing and power graduated to the re- quirement of the shot. No sign of nerves. And yet—here is where her art comes in—after a champion- ship has been played, this supposedly phlegmatic competitor is forced to rest from golf for a fortnight or more. Which shows that every- thing she has done in a champion- | ship test, all her extraordinary feats, have been the result of de- sign, thought and study. Hope that some day Miss Wethered would come to this coyntry to play must now be abandoned and that of itself is a sort of calamity. But she will remain always in the mem- ory of those who saw her play and history will place her in the cate- gory of the few women who have stood out signally in the sports which belong to their sex ag well as to men—Mrs. Helen Wills Moody in tennis; Mile.

HE prospect CORBETT KICKLESS WITH AN WEAPON McLarnin’s Manager De- mands Same Coin as Left- Harded Title Hoider. I waited exactly two years for a crack at the welter- weight title and when the oppor- tunity came he made the best of it by winning from Jackie Fields. With the title now safely tucked away, the Fresno Italian will have to exert the patience of Job if he dggs not wish to jeopardize his claim to being a fighting champion. Rival promoters in San Francisco and Los Angeles are plying him with offers to fight Jimmy McLarnin. They want the fight to take place the Fourth of July. Larry White, spokesmsn for the champion, points out that Corbett Wwas compelled to guarantee Fields $35,000 and asserts that any one de- siring a crack at Corbett's crown should do likewise. White is & keen business man. He has had deslings with Jack Kearns in the last few vyears and has picked up & few pointers on high fihance. In dealing with Pop Foster, who is the {front and center man for Jimmy Mc- Larnin, he will find a harder man to do business with than Kearns. WHITE 4 not sticking to the guer- antee. He is willing to let his fighter work on a percentage basis. All a promoter has to do is write a fi::mné:; clgalnz for the champion to aw down r cent of the gate and the match is o]:le = mulxmfiw Foster ).Ergnhh he let guffaw. e wants for McLarnin is & sum to what the champion is getting. Now, where does the promoter come in? Is he supposed to promote the contest just for fun? Foster points out that McLarnin has drawn larger gates than any recent champion of the welterweight class, | this in non-titular matches. Pop fig- ures he has less worry on his mind without a champion, and if his fighter |is an attraction he is entitled to an | €qual division of the receipts. He has worked on this supposition for years and has more money in the bank than the last three welier champions put together. ORBETT will refuse any such Proposition, but that works in with Foster'’s plans. For the last three years he has capitalized on the fact that Fields, Freeman and Young Jack | Thompson refused to fight McLarnin | In this manner Jimmy has been labeied the “uncrowned welterweight cham- pion” and profited handsomely. Corbett’s troubles are not confined to McLarnin. Jack Kearns flaunts a clause in his contract calling for a return bout between Corbett and Fields within six months. Kearns overlooks the fact that a promoter must be pro- duced who is wiling to put up the money for the clash. Jack drove a hard bargein with Corbett, and the lat- ter would be justified in demanding the same monetary conditions in a return match. The argument would stifie the loquacious Kearns, for the time being at least. It appears that Fields is defi- nitely out of tire running. HERE is little call for Corbett's services cutside of the Pacific slope. There is no opponent for him in the East capable of drawing a sizable crowd. The Fresno battler showed his wares on two occasions against Sammy Baker and left the fans cold. Both fights against Baker were close. Cor- bett lost one and got a draw in the other. In neither fight was either man in danger of a knockout. and despite Corbett's aggressive tactics he failed to show a wallop. l Southpaws, as a general rule, are | disliked by the fans unless they have a knockout punch packed away in the left mitt.

T already is apparent, in the first week of the Giants' sojourn in Los Angeles, that the competi- tion for the second base assign- ment between the veteran Hughie Critz and young Robert Byrne James is going to be one of the lively phases of the New York team's stay in California.

But it will be a fight, for James is nearly eight years the junior of Critz, and he is Critg's superior on the paths. TIGER NINE ADDS T0 LIST. PRINCETON, N.
