 AS GOLF CHAMP

 Sport Resume.

West ... Newton, Mass, June 13.--- Walter sC. Hagen of Oakland Hills. Detroit, has reasserted himself as premier golfer of the United States. HTe did so by defeating Michael J. Brady of the Oakley Club in the play off of yesterdays tie, winning, 77 to 5s.
 Hagen won by the narrowest mar gin possible. The bare figures hardly begin to tell the tale of just how ter rifle the struggle was. There was excitement a. plenty for the 5000 or SO golf enthusiasts who journeyed out to watch the contest
 Contrary to yesterdays story 1t was Brady who came scurryinE up from behind in. a game uphill fiSht to get to The fore. And if he failed, as indeed he did 1t, was only after an effort that threw his supporters into a frenzy of excitement and the Hagenites almost Into a panic.
 It had been freely predicted through out the tournament that Brady would blow when some contender began to put the pressure on him. Believers of such had their inning yesterday when he took an 80 for his last round of the 72 holes of play.
 Yesterday when Brady began to skid about on the first nine holes this same crowd began to repeat the pre- diction of a Brady debacle. But they were wrong as shall be shown.
 The Oakley golfer got away to a lead on .the first, kicked it off and even fell behind on the second and then drew even on the fourth. But at the turn he was three strokes behind the sturdy Detroiter and promptly nggraxated% his case by losing another nt the tenth.
 Its all over but the shouting" [" 'Just, a question of how much Hagen will beat him now" These and sim liar remarks heard on all sides proved the sentiments of the gallery But digging in gamely Brady began to rhange the tone of things radically from there out.
