AMERICAN GOLF LINIXS 4 Sarazen, Sweetser and Collett Are All Young | Open, Amateur and Woman Champions Are All Youngsters When It Comes to Years; Glenna Col- lett Is Youngest, Being Only 19 Years of Age BY BILLY EVANS OUTH reigns supreme in golf. When Glenna Collett won the recent women’s national championship over the White Sulphur Springs course her victory rounded out the triumvirate of youthful national golf champions, Gene Sarazen, Jesse Sweetser and Glenna Collett. Gene Sarazen, who has just turned 21, was the first to break into the spotlight of golfdom. Sarazen, by his re- markable victory at Chicago over one of the greatest fields ever gathered together in a nationai tourney, produced the | greatest golfing upset of the season. Sarazen’s victory was first regarded in the nature of a \fluke. He had a good day and more than his share of golf- ing luck, said the experts. However, it didn’t take Sarazen long to prove that he was more than a mere flash. SARAZEN NO MERE FLASH When he won the honors in the professtonal golfers tourney, and later followed it up by decisively defeating Walter Hagen in a special match, Sarazen proved that he was justly entitled to be ranked the greatest golfer of the year. Sarazen’s victory over Hagen really established him more | firmly in golfing circles than his two other great wins. He |met Hagen in the world series of golf and after trailing him for 86 holes he came from behind to win. Jesse Sweetser, who won the national amateur honors by defeating the great “Chick” Evans in the finals, scored a victory that was almost as sensational as that of Sarazen when he beat the country’s best. Sweetser was born April 18, 1902, which means that he has yet to cast his first vote. Sweetser is a student at Yale. In 1902 he won the intercollegiate golfing honors, SCORED A GREAT TRIUMPH In many ways even more remarkable than the triumphs of Sarazen and Sweetser was that of Glenna Collett, in winning the national women’s championship. Only a 19-year-old girl, pitted against the game’s greatest players, she upset the dope of the critics by playing consistent golf that couldn’t be denied. The final match certainly had an international flavor, Miss Collett being paired with Mrs. W. A.-Gavin, one of Great Britain's leading players, who has enjoyed a much wider ex- perience as a golfer. When asked for her golfing formula so that all women golf- ers might be enlightened thereby, Miss Collett simply said: “T don’t know how to account for my success other than that I love the game. Some folks take bol rs like a duck to water; they seem to have a natural aptitude for it. Perhaps it is so in my case, That explains part of my success, the major portion of it is due to the efforts of my instructor, Mr. Alex Smith Baker and Frazee Hurt Game Pair Sell Willie Hoppe Stars to (Regains His Get Coin Philly and Boston Owners Are Detriment to Big League Baseball BY LEO H.
