 Today, Worcester will again be the scene of a game with the Bridgeport contingent and if Manager Grimes plans do not miscarry his team will come through again victoriously, all though one must bear in mind the fact that the Boosters are not to be underestimated by any team on the O'Neil circuit. The Boosters con stitute a hard-hitting aggregation.
 Yesterdays game stood out because of the presence in it of "Shanty' House "Shanty'' had been expected to twirl for the Bridgeporters earlier in the season, but it was not until yesterday that his presence here was divulged by the local club. The Boosters got only six hits off this pitcher, four of them being punched in the sixth inning when the Wor cesters scored their only two runs of the game.

HAGEN TIES BRADY FOR
 GOLF TITLE
Each Turns Tn Score of 3O1 at National Open Tourney.
 Play Decides Today.

Newton, Mass, June 12.---ln one or the most spectacular finishes ever seen in an open championship, Walter Hagen, the Detroit professional, crept up from behind in the last round and
 tied with Mike Brady with a total of 301 for the 72-hole play yesterday. Hagen was five strokes away when
 the players started out in the after
 noon. Brady with early start had almost finished when Hagen reached the first screen. The latter had the advantage of knowing Just what was
 left for him to do on each hole. Brady
 had been kind enough to make 1t easy
 for his rival by taking 80 for his
 last round, which was a. wide opening for the little bunch of pros following a half dozen strokes behind.
 Hagen alone was able to take ad vantage of it although he faltered once or twice on the outward. journey. Standing al the tenth tea Hagen real ized that he had to go home in 37 for
 a tie. One mistake only was permis- sible and he made this at the twelfth hole where he drove out of bounds. l To tie now he had to make it in one
 under an average of fours. which he accomplished without giving his many
 admirers even a chance for a thrill
 unless it was on the last hole where

 the hole and then trimmed the cup
 with his eight-foot putt.
 1 Brady and Hagen outdistarced the field. Of eight or ten trailing, Jack Hutchison of Glenview, and George
 McClean of Great Neck, were the only ones who ibettered their positions in | the last round Hutchison managed
 to tie with MctNanara for third place,
 while McClean tied with Til1ier for ! fifth place.
 John Cowan of Stockbridge had an equal chance with Hagen to catch
 Brady yesterday afternoon in the last nine holes but was not able to stand 1 the strain. He was the dark horse of the tournament and had played all but the last few holes of golf here without attracting any attention what ever from the gallery. Cowan made | his frs mistake at the fifteenth when he got into trap and took a six, ruin ing his chances for a good round. He fell back to seventh place with a score of 309.
 Fred Mcleod of Columbia, who has been a most consistent money player in open championships of the past ten years, came along with 312 and took
 eighth place. Only one amateur was able to land a position among the winners. This was Chick Evans, the former holder of the title He had two bad rounds yesterday and just
 managed to squeeze in with George r. Bowden. another homebred, for
 tenth place yesterday morning. but
 messed up things after luncheon and
