A—16 SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 1935. SPORT Sarazen, Wood Play Off Augusta Tie : Wolfram, Doherty Promise Tight Bout BENE'S BIG DEUCE HIS MASTERPIECE Declares Spoon Shot for| Eagle Greatest Hit of His Career. BY KENNETH GREGORY, Associated Press Sports Writer. UGUSTA, Ga., April 8—Two A 33-year-old veterans of the golfing wars—blond Craig Wood of Deal, N. J, and xtocky Gene Sarazen of Brookfield Center, Conn., squared off today in a 36-hole match for first place money in the $5,000 Augusta National Invi- tation tournament. As a climax to 72 holes of spectacu- lar shot-making that gave par a ter- rific jolting yvesterday, Wood and Sarazen put on a sterling exhibition for 5,000 spectators to reach the finish line deadlocked with totals of 282, six strokes under perfect figures. | With $1,500 awaiting the winner and $800 for the loser, the lanky | “blond belter” and little Gene, bronzed from tropical campaigns, were expected to put on a real show as a wind-up to a great week end of sub par blasting. In cold blealr weather and over & soggy course, Sarazen reached the 15th tee yesterday afternoon ap- parently out of the picture with below | par golf needed to overtake Wood, who had finished ahead of him with a two-stroke advantage. Sarazen's Greatest Shot. ENE lashed out a beautiful drive, the ball stopping on the edge of a divot. He reached for his | favorite club, a No. 4 wood. There was a sharp crack and the ball| landed just short of the green, bound- | »d twice and as though the cup were a magnet, trickled in for a “double eagle.” Little Gene said: “That was the greatest shot I ever have made. Sure, I was surprised to | see it roll so straight to the cup.” The amazing two on the par 5| hole was the most spectacular shot of the tournament. It put the diminutive Italian sharp- shooter on even terms with Wood and | gave him a chance to win if he could get a birdie on one of the three re- maining holes, but he had to be con tent with par and came in even with the Deal demon, Sarazen took off on his final round three strokes behind Wood, who had smiled broadly and | - Coach Is Carded EARL H.

HONTREAL AR HOGKEY THUNPH Game Tomorrow May De- cide World Title—Two Down, Toronto Hopeful. By the Associated Press. . ONTREAL, April 8. —The Montreal Maroons were back home today, just one game away from the 1935 world’s hockey championship. The husky red shirts, who won the Stanley Cup the last time two Cana- dian teams met in the finals nine years ago, held the decisions in the first two games played at Toronto. They meet the Maple Leafs again here tomorrow and by winning that game can take the trophy. If they fail then, a fourth encounter will be played here Thursday and the fifth, if necessary, at Toronto Saturday. Apparently gaining in power as well as in confidence as they went along, | the Maroons took the first clash 3-2 led at the three-quarter stage, but picked up all of them by firing a 70, 1wo under par, while Craig wound u| with a 73. Meanwhile the scoreboard fold a story of faltering favorites and near- iavorites. Far down the list was Rob- ert Tyre Jomes, jr. the renowned champion of the world who retired in 1930. in overtime Thursday, then blazed | through to a 3-to-1 triumph Saturday fter Alex Cornell, veteran goalie, had | given a remarkable exhibition of puck stopping to ward off the Leafs’ early attacks. Trottier's Injury is Slight. HE Maroons weren't especially Bobby Ties for Twenty-fifth. | ONES showed no signs of his old- | team and there was little if any doubt | time skill. He was extremely erratic in putting and lacked con- | fidence, finishing the final round with | a poor 78, leaving him in a triple tie | for twenty-fifth place at 287, compared | fered a skate cut in his thigh late in | to his finish in thirteenth position | Saturday’s game, but is expected to | last year at 294 { Wood was runner up last Spring | with 285, trailing the winner, Horton | Smith of Oak Park, Ill, by a stroke. | Smith finished far back with a 296 | yesterday. | After a disappointing nine-hole | score of 42, six over par, Olin Dutra | of Los Angeles, national open cham- pion, who was only a stroke behind Wood at the start of the last round, | recovered his form on the incoming nine to card a 32, to complete his play with a total of 284 and third place money. Cracking under the strain after set- | ting a dizzy pace for two rounds, | Henry Picard, of Hershey, Pa., fal- | tered with a 75 for a 286 and fourth money, coming in just in front of | Denny Shute of Philadelphia, who wound up with 287. | W. Lawson Little, jr., of San Fran- | cisco, American and British amateur | champion, collected six birdies, for | a par 72, giving him a 72-hole total of 288 and honors among the simon- pure contestants, as well as sixth place among the all-stars. LOOKING FAR AHEAD. American zone tryouts for the in- ternational table tennis championships to be held next February in Yugo- slavia will be held in this city in De- cember, the dates to be made known later, it has been announced. They felt they had the better about their winning the series. The best news for them was that dave Trottier wasn't injured as seri- ously as they had believed. He suf- play tomorrow. Neither were the Maple Leafs, Na- tional Hockey League champions, un- duly discouraged over their prospects. The players felt the “breaks” had been against them in the second game and they still had as much chance of winning three straight from Montreal as the Maroons had of capturing their third successive decision. The Maroons, however, made good use of the “breaks” Saturday. After standing off the furious early bom- bardment, they took the lead while Toronto was short handed late in the first period. After Harvey Jackson evened the count in the second, Russ Blinco shot Montreal into a 2-1 lead and early in the third frame Baldy Northcott produced the third goal. WIN POLO TOURNAMENT. AIKEN, 8. C., April 8 (#).—The Red polo team, led by Seymour Knox of Buffalo, N. Y., won the Lockett Cup | polo tournament by defeating the Blue team of William (Billy) Post. 9 to 7. The match was part of the Aiken centennial celebration program. fk e g Bt 2 GETS ELKS TOURNAMENT. CHICAGO April 8 (#).—Cincinnati has been awarded the 1936 Elks na- tional bowling tournament, dates for which will be set later. ACH Spring when the white perch reach the swift waters of the Potomac around Chain | Bridge, the river suffers from | muditis. Despite the condition of the water, Joe Fletcher and his son, Julius, have been catching plenty of perch, Joe says the current is too swift at present to permit a boat going out in it with eafety, but that the perch, plenty of them, are being taken in three feet of water close to shore. He also says the perch are now running larger, many of them weighing half a pound, He also caught a pan size rock fish, the first of the season. i FEW herring are being taken by means of dip nets around Chain Bridge. Although it is against the law to use a dip net in District waters to take eny specie of fish. Those who persist in this method are courting trouble. This column is doing all in its power to break up this pernicious practice. We have asked the harbor police, park police and the Virginia authorities to help stop it. Not only herring but a number of large and small mouth bass are being netted and some bass bootlegged in the District. Lieut. W. H. Carlin of the harbor precinct and Game Warden Harry Johnson of Virginia are co-operating in an effort to break up this practice. The harbor precinct was instructed by Assistant Corporation Counsel George D. Neilson to enforce the law. Those fishing from the Virginia side also are subject to arrest, since the Potomac is District property to the high-water mark. The minimum fine is $10 and the maximum, $100, . with an alternate of not more than six months in jail. Trout anglers visiting Fishing end Hunting Creeks in Frederick County on the opening day of the season were rewarded with good catches. Over 1,000 anglers whipped the wat- ers of these streams the first day, half of this number being local ang- lers, and many a bag limit was caught, namely, 10 brook or rainbow trout. With the exception of the white perch there is no fishing in any near- by water. Large numbers of hard- head or croakers are reported in the lower part of the Bay, but if any are in the upper part of Chesapeake Bay, Patuxent or Potomac Rivers, the temperature of the water still is too cold for them to seek food or any- thing dangling at the end of a line, We have received, however, many good reports concerning the channel bass being caught by the anglers at Oregon Inlet, N. C. These fish made their appearance much earlier this season, according to Capt. L. L. Midgett of Wanchese, N. C. “yF CITIES continue dumping of trade wastes in our streams, it will not only affect the fish life but will eventually destroy the streams for every purpose, except as a sewer,” Glen C. Leach, chief of the division of fislt culture of the Bureau of Fisheries told his listeners in his radio talk for Rod and Stream. “As I have pointed out to Wash- ington anglers from time to time, most of our river fishes have been forced farther and farther down stream. At one time shad were found as far up the Potomac as Chain Bridge. At present they seldom are caught much above Mount Vernon. There has been a considerable falling off in the run of rockfish and herring in the Potomac to swift waters, and undoubtedly the cause of this is the pollution of the river.” 4 jubilant as they came home. | < AMERICA LOOMS STRONG IN TANK Feats in A.

In excess of $3.700 cash, a dozen trophies and some handsome sweep- stakes to enrich the till are proffered by the association this season in 55 classes. As usual, the stress lies on hunter contests, which rate about $2,000 of the prize money and half of the trophies. The dozen children's classes offer $210 in cash and four trophies; $365 has been allotted to half a dozen saddle horse divisions, and the open jumpers and handy hunters get more than $1,100. A few specifl prizes for military mounts, stable appointments and managers bring the guaranteed total past 4he $3,700 mark. Altogether there are 23 hunter eveats, five of them dedicated espec- jally to those useful animals, the working hunters.

Kimes of the Wirehaven Ken- nels has just returned from a trip to Richmond, where he was called by Ralph J. Levy, president of the Vir- ginia Kennel Club, to give a two-day demonstration of the art of prepar- ing dogs for the dog show. The Vir- ginia Kennel Club’s second annual dog show takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, April 23 and 24, at the Mosque, Laurel and Main streets, Richmond, Va. The effect of dog shows on the dog population of a community is illus- trated graphically in Richmond ac- cording to Kimes. Although this is only the second annual show to be given in Richmond, the quality of dogs which passed in review before him, unofficially, is much superior to those shown last year. The number of local entries, as well as the qual- ity, already is greater than last year's, although entries do not close for sev- eral days yet. A four or five point show is promised in several breeds. Kimes is taking a string of about 10 cocker spaniels on the Southern cir- cuit, beginning with Charlotte, N. C., and ending at the Washington show, April 26 and 27. 'LORRAINE 1§ SHORN OF BOWLING CROWN Naomi Zimmerman Wins National | Sweepstakes by 12 Sticks With Score of 1,062.

BY BOBBY JONES, Only man_who ever held American ama- teur and open titles and British amateur and open championships at same time. UGUSTA, Ga., April 8—When Gene Sarazen stepped onto the fifteenth tee at the Augusta mational yesterday he needed to finish three under par in four holes to tie. He said to Walter Hagen, his play- ing partner, “I feel as though any- thing might happen.” Three minutes later something did happen, and Gene, from the hillside 220 yards away, watched his second shot on this par 5 hole scamper into the cup_ Every one immediately went crazy, as they had every reason to do. Here was a man fighting hard through the closing holes, obviously doing his best to hold onto second place. Only a splendid finish would Jones Thrills With Gallery As Gene Scores Great Eagle do this for him. Then, in one stroke and in less than 10 seconds, he found himself with three feasible, even likely pars to tie. I never have seen anything like it before. I don’t blame the big crowd for becoming a bit pop-eyed, and I could not help feeling sorry for Craig Wood who had gal- lantly but reasonably played the last nine in 34 and had finished with a birdie three on the seventy-second hole. There was a lot of golf played in this last round and a lot of dis- appointments more like an open championship. But after that spoon shot, that knocked the tournameat into a cocked hat and a tie, there was little chance of about anything else. It ought to be a great play-off. Sarazen now has been touched by the magic wand, and ‘Wood has been hauled down from the heights, but they both have played some real golf and can shoot some more. ;| the Diamond Briefs ! /NOMPETITION in the 12-team Northern Virginia Base Ball League opens April 28.
