There has been some discussion about what champion occupies the Ghief position in sport this year. Hagen did a fine piece of work in winning the British open, Sarazen achieved glory as a “home bred’ American golf champion when he de- feated the world's best players in our Rational open meet. Hoover won the “Diamond Sculls and came home a hero. Weissmuller has startled the ‘aquatic world by smashing records wherever he goes. Paddock has made springing records at will, lowering marks that looked permanent before he went after them. In all, we've had @ wonderful lot of athletes in various branches of sport. But to my mind the outstanding “ feature of the season was Suzanne Lengien’s defeat of Molla Mallory im the tennis championships at Wim- bledon, England. It was the most spectacular feat in years. The great French woman tennis champion broke down so completely last year when Jory’s fire and going home a nervous wreck. They say that when a champion is badly beaten that champion never can face the victor afterward without a heart flutter. Mile. Lenglen had every reason In the world to break down again, but ghe came back with fire and fury, a dauntiess, crashing, smashing aggres- siveness that swept Mrs. Mallory off her fect. She won with a rush that nothing could stay. Supposed to be a nervous wreck still, she showed no more nerves than she might have if she had never lost game of tennis in her life. Aloha ‘8 a fine performance when a fast- coming youngster breaks into the championship bunch and forces his way to the top. But it’s even finer when a defeated champion comes back the way Suzanne did. It isn't often @arazen, American open champion golfer, is the youngest professional that ever won the big title, and one of the smallest. He was born Feb. 22, 1901, and stands only 6 feet 4 1-2 inches. His normal weight is only 133 Pounds, and during the championship Bkokie he lost eight pounds, This shows what a strain it is to play up to ebampionship. RAZEN AFTER OP. eays that he ts planning fo after the British open in 1923 will go to England on a@ special in November to study the English and acquaint himself with ing conditions, He hasn't been the seas before. While he he hardly expects to win, he to make a good showing and, Mke Hagen, will continue visiting BWngland for the championships there uatil he wins. While attached to the: Highland Park Club at Pittsburgh Sarazen will spend as much tine as possible American geaside courses to study the wind conditions that are #0 bothersome to strangers on the English links, and will work out a style of play to suit. He is a farseeing youngster for twenty-one, Early in June he slipped out for practice at Skokie, but the local pro would not permit him to Play, claiming that July 5th was the earliest date contestants could use the course, Sarazen enlisted the ald of several Western golf officials and permission was finally secured. This Uttle trip cost him $160, but Sarazen Saye the money was well spent Until he won at Skokie Sarazen never had more than a few hundred dollars at n time. He invested the money in himself instead of specu lating in of! stocks and gold mines, and ho money was ever put to a better us He got a lot of experience in tourna- ment play here and there, Many othor pros kidded him about his ability “do so much sporting,” but he was Jearning all the time. As a result ur can make a fortune in the coming BRITISH a it Zz year. Tom McNamara, a first class pro and a keen judge of playing talent, Watched Sarazen perform down Soutn last winter and told friends that the boy would be a greater star than Hagen or Barnes. McNamara backed Sarazen te win the Southern cham pionship, which he did, and then backed him at Skokie. An unofficial world championship match is now being arranged for Sa: wen and Hagen, holdeis of American and British titles, for Labor Day on a New York course. McNamara says that if both are in form Sarazen should win, BANKS ON THE SECOND SHOT. Sarazen uses a forty-two inch driver and gets surprising distance for a mali man, but his theory, that too much stress is put pn t!}ptee shot. DpPovyright 1932 by Edgren.)

Brooklyn Fans Wonder How World’s Champions Did So Well in the West Giants All Right on Field and] HOME RUN LEADERS. at Bat, but Pitching Staff Looks Bad. By Joseph Gorton. F the Giants rucceed in winning the National League pennant this sea- son the biggest sufferer, with the exception of certain citizens in good standing along the banks of the Mis- sissippl, will be the long established baseball epigram which has it that Pitching ts 60 per cent. of the gamo. Not that we hate to see long-estab- shed theorles take a back seat #0 much, but that it furnishes an inter- esting topic for reflection. The thing which brought this thought up fs the fact that the Giants have just returned from a trip to the West in which they invaded the most powerful baseball strongholds in the league. They beat St. Louls with ease and also the Cubs. They out- shone the Reds and held thelr own with the Pirates. And all this in spite of thelr serious lack of pitching strength, @ lack which was so amply illustrated tn thelr opening game with the Robins at Ebbets Field. The fielding of the World's Cham- pions is every bit as brilliant as it has been throughout the season, The work of Heinie Groh, Beauty Bancroft and Frankle Frisch needs no recommenda- tion, It stands on its own merits as it always had. But how. if pitching is sixty per cent. of the game, the Giants managed to go through the West and win nine games out of eleven Was @ puzzle to us, We asked Hughie Jennings about it. Hughie was very pleasant and with- out one change of « freckle he in- formed us that the Giant pitchers were going in great style and im- proving right along “Why, look ut the wonderful games Jess Barnes and Hugh McQuillan turned in within recent weeks, And look at the games Nehf won for the Giants by his heady pitching. And don't forget the remarkable victory Virgil Barnes turned in for us a week or so ago. Oh, no, There is nothing the matter with our pitching staff, Robbie happened along just as Jen- nings made his last remark. Robbie didn't say anything, but the look he gave Hughie spoke volumes, The rather heavily built manager of the Brooklyn Robins looked at the Giants’ coach, put his chubby hands on his hips, shook his head and walked Chairman Muldoon of Boxing Board Investigating Wills-Jackson Fiasco Chairman William Muldoon of started an investigation into conditi: Jackson bout, when the the former Brooklyn, on Tuesday night in three that he was determined to prosecute a and add Commission had crime, The Commi: sponsibility for the glowing advanoe an exhaustive « atriot fi were adhered to in the pear a big opponent for Wills, if his investigation verify some of the claims ma tered the ring against Wills. the State Athi Commission hi ions surrounding the Harry Wills-Tut scored a knockout at Ebbets Field, rounds.

The draw for the matches brings the Wimbledon winner against William T, Tilden 2d, the holder of the laurels of the United States, who defaulted his honors in the British championship earlier in the season, Tho drawing for the opening matches of the nineteenth series for the blue ribbon of the courts was made by Patterson and R. Norris Williams 2d, respectively, the captains of the teams, at the West Side Tennis Club yester- day. The draw resulted in Patterson picking Tilden as his opponent for the match at 2.30 P. M. ‘This battle will be followed by James O. Anderson, re- garded as the star of the Australasian team, meeting Willlam M. Johnston in the closing singles contest of the first day of play. In the second series ofyaingles matches Monday, Patterson waa again scheduled for the early contest in which he will meet Johnston. The closing match will be between Anderson and Tilden on opposite sides of the net. There was a conference of the team captains with Jullan 8, Myrick of the Dayis Cup Committee over the naming of the doubles pairs for the competitions of next Saturday. This developed that both sides are somewhat undecided as to their selections, It was therefore agreed that Patterson for the Australa- slang and Williams for the United States will name their respective doubles pairs &t noon to-morrow, in accordance with the rules governing the {nternational challenge matchoa. On the American side there appears a disposition to put forward Tilden and Johnston as the doubles pair, Members of the Davis Cup Committee got to- gether at the Bankers’ Club yesterday and discussed this phase of the situa- tion.
