Golfers throughout the country are undecided as to which professional, Jim Barnes or Walter Hagen, shoulda be rated as the leading one as‘a result of last season's play. Before the golf clubs were laid away tm the lockers there was a deal of talk as to a prob- able contest between this pair, but the thought came too ate in the year, and so the meeting was postponed un- til next season, when conditions should be more favorable. Now comes word that Hagen has agreed to meet Barnes early in the spring, and whether his severing con- nections with the Oakland Hills Club and entering Business life will affect the national champion’s game, remains to be seen. A prominent professional is of the belief that in a series of three matches Hagen would win two from Barnes. When the year started, Barnes probably had a bigger following than Hagen, thanks to his winning the Western opea and the Southern title. Hagen, however, scored decisively in the national, Barnes finishing in a tie for eleventh place, The tall Briton also captured the North and South last March and the Professional Golfers’ Association title event at the |Engineers’ Country Club. In the big tournaments, Hagen and Barnes have met five times during 1919, and both have won two events, In the fifth gathering, Barnes was |third and Hagen fourth, so that it is difficult to say which had the better season from a competitive point of view. But Hagen is the open cham- pion—that counts a lot, Max Marston, the well-known Bal- tusrol amateur who now fesides in Philadelphia, writes that he expect keep in condition this winter by p ing hockey.
