Eastern Kentucky championship BRILLIANT MANNER AT PITTSBURGH —_—— wvasmont Country Club, Pittsburg, Aug. 16—(By the A. P.)—Eugene Sar- azen, former caddy but now Pitts- burgh’s_first golf citizen, removed a tremendous obstacle from his path to the national professional champion- ship when he came up from béhind this afternoon and won his 36 hole match with Jock Hutchison, Chicago's only survivor, three and one. Sarazen who won the national open title a month ago trailed the mighty Scot most of the day, but finally caught him on the home stretch of the afternoon round and then play- ed Jock to a standstill. Tomorrow Gene must defeat Bob Cruikshank, of Westfield, N. J., to compete in the final round on Friday. Brilliant as Sarazen was today, hi medal card was eclipsed by the play of Emmet French, the Youngstown Ohio, veteran, who will be in the lower bracket of the semi-final with John Golden, of Tuxedo, N. Y. Golden is regarded as a formidable adversary and golf experts forecast a historic semi-final. Two Pittsburgh contenders were el- iminated, Charlie Rowe fell before Cruikshank who won 3 and 2, and French—who shot a 69 in the forenoon round—disposed of Emil Loeffler, 4 and 2. Tom Kerrigan, of Siwanoy, N. Y., was trounced 5 and 3 by Golden. The thirteenth hole and the dread- ‘ed . seventeenth, Nroved Hutchison's undoing. Jock has had trouble on the 17th hole in every round since the tournament began. The match was even when they shot for the thirteenth and both balls whizzed into the traps. tournament opens at Pikeville, Ky. GOLF National professional champion- ship tournament at Pittsburgh.
