HAGEN LEAVES
FOR GOLF MEET
AMERICAN OPEN TITLE-HOLDER
WILL MEET BEST ENGLISH AND
SCOTCH PROFESSIONALS.

New York, May Cavalier C. Hagen,
of Rochester, N. Y, the national open
title-holder, has gone to England to
take part in the British open cham
pionship competition which will begin
lat Deal. England, on June %. The
Kentish course is laid out over the
sand dunes bordering the North Sea
and the pick Of the best British pro-
Ifessional talent and half a score of
first-class amateurs will make up the
field of contestants against whom the
small team of American professionals
headed by Hagen. will have to COM
Ipete.
In Hagen the United States has
real home-bred professional golfer,
who has learned everything he knows
about the game on this side of the
Atlantic ocean. Born at Rochester,
N. Y, % years ago, Hagen was first
attracted to the ancient game when as
a schoolboy he spent his evenings on
the local clubs course working as
caddie. Although from his earliest eff
forts to master the intricacies of the
links game Hagen gave promise of
unusual proficiency it was not until
the fall Of 1913 that he jumped into
public notice. That was the year in
which Francis Ouimet tied with and
subsequently defeated the British ex-
perts, Vardon and Ray, in the national
open championship tournament at the
Club, Brookline, Mass. This famous
trio had scores of 304 each while there
was a quadruple tie for fourth place
between Hagen, Jim Barnes, Macdonald
Smith and Louis Taller, the French
professional, with scores Of 3o7 each.
/ t., ,ox 80 ~ f1111
Hagen won the open title from a great
field Of players at the Midlothian
Country Club, Blue Island, ILL.,, with a
score of 290, just one stroke under the
famous amateur Charles ("Chick')
Evans, Of Chicago. who took second
honors. while Ouimet finished in a
triple tie with the professionals, NJ. j.
Brady and James A. Donaldson, for
fifth place with scores Of 298 each.
After finishing in seventeenth and
seventh. places for the open champion
ship in 1915 and 1916, Hagen won the
title again last year after a tie with
M. ]. Brady at Boston. Each had a
Iscore of 301 and in the 18-hole play
off Hagen won with II to Brady's Is.
| A short time ago at New Orleans
Hagen gave a very fine exhibition of
his prowess, when he defeated Jim
Barnes in a sensational match over
/ the Country Clubs links there. He is
possessed of wonderful nerve and
gameness and when in a close race he
can be depended upon to do the right
thing at the right time, always having
enough in reserve for a supreme eff
fort.
| After bis arrival in England, Hagen
will have about three weeks in which
