HAGEN OUTSTANDING

New Metropolitan Open Cham-

in the Sport.

Like Vardon, Taylor

MAY RIVAL BRITISH TRIO
By INNS BROWN.

When tho time arrives to pick out the
outstanding figures in sports Of all kinds
for the current year, the name of Walter
C. Hagen, Oakland Hills golf profess
sional, will take a place quito close 10
the top.
Hagen is surely the reigning monarch
OF the links by a number OF city blocks.
Just now he stands out head and Shout
ders above the field. His great finish
from an ordinary start in the National
open championship at Brae Burn has,
now been further emphasized by the
brilliant manner in which he raced
away from the field in the last two
rounds Of the Metropolitan open cham
pionship at North Shore.
In the Brae Burn affair he faced
practically every other golf star In the
country. At North Shore two promi-
nent figures, Jim Barnes and Jock
Hutchinson. were missing. But neither
of these could push him at Brae Burn.
and the manner In which he disposed

ment. 1t looks very much as though
Hagen will be the first to create a niche
In the American golfing hall OF fame
similar to, that occupied by the famous
British triumvirate, Harry Vardon, ].
II. Taylor and James Braid. Vardon
has accounted for six British open
championships. while the other two have
won five each.
No American golfer has ever equalled
these records. And only two home bred
players, j. J. McDermott and Hagen,
have ever captured the open champion
ship as many as two times. There is
but slight hope that McDermott will
ever be able to go any further toward
the British mark. But Hagen has an
excellent chance to do so. Sill young,
robust and fond of the game, he Is fur
Their endowed with a fine golfing tenn
permanent and plenty competitive spirit.
He Is the American golfer pre-eminent
right now. and bids fair to remain such
