The track was muddy that day. Everybody knows that Roamer doesn’t like such going, #0 excuses for his showing were readily accepted, ‘The Excelsior Handicap at Jamaica, st, this time with 121 pounds to shoulder, After running third und restraint he quit badl; good horse once,” was the thought in the minds of those who saw him run, In the Long Beach Handicap at Jamaica on June 21, it became evi- dent that weight adjuster Vosburgh had about concluded that Roamer wasn't Roamer any more, Anyhow, he dropped him into the stake with 116 pounds, as against Naturalist’s 128, Lanius's 116 and Star Master's 122, The poor old “has been” pulled up last in a field of seven, Even Bally, Straight Forward and Natural Bridge beat him Poor old Roamer, Hadn't his stable consections any sentiment?

He trailed off the pace of L'Errent and Sun Briar to the stretch and after the former was “run into sub- mission,” he came on and hooked up with Sun Briar, For an eighth of a mile it was a pretty struggle between them.

To win he had run the dis- tance in 1.12 over @ track that could not be considered fast after Thurs- day's rain. Of course, there was rejoicing and plaudits for the old hero, There al- ways is, when an odds un choice is beaten, but It usually comes from who either can’t afford to, or rathe’ won't take the price against the favorite, and luckily land on the winner, But there was no joy in Roamer’s victory for those who pinned their financial faita to Sun Briar, They naturally felt, aad ‘bey were in fact deluded into the belief, in view of past performances, that Koam- er was just about three jumps ahead of the horse boneyard, Beaten and all pet of Jack Goldsborough, Sun Briar showed a sparkling performance, one off which he is bound to tmprove, but he must not be expected to beat any Roamers like he met yesterday at iho same weight arrangement. it will be interesting to note Roamer’s impost next time out.

ITH the national and metropol- itan titles in his vest pocket Walter Hagen of Detroit bas well earned the distinction of being the best professional golfer in ‘he United States. He is the class in bis set and no amateur in this coun‘ry could consistently win from the @ouble champion who plays best when the pressure is hardest. \ At the North Shore Club yesterday Hagen pulled his pet stunt of coming from the rear to win. He did this last month for tho national title and he repeated in the finals of the Met- ropolitan championship, To settle all doubt about his superiority Hagen set a new record of 71 for the North Shore course in his final round. Hagen’s total was 2 for the 72 holes. Emmet French was sucond with 297 and Charlie Hoffner gained third place with 29, The other prize winners went over the 300 mark. Hagen started to overtake Hoftfner and Freaoh in the last two rounds like @ #orateh runner will overhaul the field in a running race. Charlie Hoffaer, who had @ six-stroke lead on the champion, practically cooked hig goose when he needed 79 for the third round. French was better, his score being 76, But Hagen got on the job quickly and recovered ground |e. | when he shot around in 72. “Hagen "t stand that clip,” said some of ie ones in the gallery. Starting 18 holes Hagen had only French to tend to, Playing magnificently, his iron shots always igh, Hagen was out in 34 strokes, two under par, Little Louls Tellier, Hagen’s partner, caught | Shack: the spirit and was only one stroke z| above the new champion. Without a break Hagen peeled off par figures all the way to the long sixteenth, Then happened what is notable in golf—a sudden reversal of form. The sixteenth is an elbow hole, 601 yards. Hagen ¥ neatly hooked his tee shot to the edge of the woods, where a short play-out cost a stroke. A brassie went short and landed in a trap, but this proved to ve a horseshoe play, for the ball would have gone into almost unplayable grass if it hadn't landed in the sand trap. A short re- covery to the edge of the green and ;|two putts accbunted for six strokes, Hagen gets back on his game as Promptly a» he slumps off, and the very next hole he sank a twenty-footer for a very useful three, The home hole at North Shore has been a hoodoo for Hagen, With a course record, the championship and everything else within reach, Hagen had to play that hole like a duffer, A drive pulled behind a con bunker, @ mashie badly sliced, the ball dropping near # tree close to the green, & recovery that flopped in a sand trap, a niblick that went to within fifteen feet of the hole and then topping this novice-like golf with a fine putt for a 5 for a 71 score and & new competitive record for the course, The finish was typical of Hagen— «| his ability to do the unexpected.
