Contender for British
Title Compares With
Detroiter i'm Every Way
BY Ray Nice earthly

P1NEHURST. N. c., April 3.-The
game of golf has a Ty Cobb, and his
name is Walter Hagen. incidentally,
Hagen also represents Detroit. Walter
is to the Scottish pastime what the
Georgia Peach" is to the national
sport. In short, Hagen is there in
every way when it comes to golf SIS
Cobb me It's every requirement Of a
truly great in baseball.
Americans and American golfers can
be proud of the fact and that they
have such q capable representative as
Hagen to send to the British cham
pionship this June. If there is any
one who will bring the bacon" to this
side it is the Detroit star, for without
doubt he is at present the monarch of
all golfers in this country.
1t ls the consensus of opinion of
some twenty-five or more professionals
who played here this week that Hagen
is the best man America could pos
sibly find to represent it in the Eng
agreed that the natty looking golfer
from the automobile metropolis has an
excellent chance of returning to the
States with the prize.
Undoubtedly the folk across the
water are awaiting the coming of
Americas champion with interest and
curiosity, They will not be disap-
pointed. In fact, we venture the pre-
diction Hagen will be a sensation
abroad.
Personality Is Pleasing
Hagen. like Cobb, is a big fellow,
possessing a magnetic personality.
Wherever he is. on or off the links, he
attracts the crowd. On the course ne
is the most inspiring figure we know
of. and he always carries the smile
that wins.
Like Cobb, Hagen can do everything
just a little better than any other
player. That is why he is the cham
pion. Clarence Hackney NAV outdrive
the Detroit star, Jim Barnes may be
s%teadier, Mike Brady may be a better
putter, Francis Ouimet may be a more
graceful player and Paddy Doyle may
pull more sensational shots-but no
one OF these can do all Of the things
quite as we'll as Hagen.
Cobb succeeds, it is said, because
he is the essence Of confidence. This
quality is in every fibre of his body.
No more so than it Is in Hagen's.
Hagen's confidence is termed by some
to be conceit and cock-suredness, and
many are claiming that this overcon-
fidence cost him the championship
here this week. Perhaps so. but it is
certain that without that supreme con
fidence Hagen would never succeed as
he does.
Cobb attracts the crowd, for one
reason because of his daring. 1t is
the same with Hagen. He takes chances
that are seemingly impossible. and yet
how natural, just right. Hagen doesn't
take any unnecessary chances, but he
will take what he considers a long
chance every time. Consequently his

rocks on account of a high wind, which
later died down. Their real difficulty
was in the background. The meadow

Chip Shots at Pinehurst

Francis Ouimet's little wife, whose
personality is as engaging as that of
her noted husband, is one Of the most
ardent rooters the Bostonian has. She
follows him on all his trips and doesn't
hesitate to tell him when he hasn't
played the right shot.
If a vote were to be taken on the
various golfers here this week it prob
ably would result somewhat in this
manner:
Best dressed man-Walter Hagen.
Most Walter Hagen.
Most popular-Francis Ouimet.
Most serious-Jim Barnes.
Most philosophical-Tom Boyd.
Wittiest-Paddy Doyle.
Most energetic-Louis Teller.
Best looking-E. Augustus.

Hagen, Open Champion,
Hailed as 1y Cobb of Golf
Doyle Has Good Card
Despite Injured Hand

DINEHURST, n. c., April 3.-One
of the features of the recent
open golf tournament here, which
doesn't show in the records. was the
performance of Paddy Doyle, the
Deal On. J.) club professional. Last
Sunday. while wrestling with Leo
Deigel, the Lake Shore pro. Paddy
received a kick on his right thumb
which resulted in a bad sprain.
Despite the fact the thumb was
swollen to twice its normal size.
and that it panied him to swing q
club, Paddy went the full four
rounds, getting into all kinds of
trouble and out by remarkable re.
~coveries and finishing with the fine
score of 306.

f~1nehurSt Is the winter camp of Cen
eral Allbi. Everybody here should turf.
IN a card of not more than 10 or so.
except that there are too many holes,
pebbles, specks and molecules on the
green.
The sand greens are not very popu-
lar with the star golfers. Many blame
these for the defeat of Hagen. 'Tis
said that one has TO grow onto the
right way to play the course here, and
that a good game won't necessarily
bring home the spoils. All three
courses are not exceptionally long, but
they certainly are cramping.
Another alibi for Hagen's defeat is
that the champion was unable to use
his best shot-a mashie pitch-because
the local courses are so fast. There is
much truth in this. Hagen couldn't or
didn't use this shot more than two or
three times during the four rounds.
Where the greens are green he gener-
ally plays a pitch shot for his ap-
proach, to strike on the edge and roll
dead to the cup-at least, that is the
idea.
Gil Nichols, former pro and now with
q clothing concern, started out with the
crowd last Monday; but Gil's game was
away off. and finally, when he was
starting on the home journey and had
fubbed several shots, he heavcd the
club away and shouted, Pick up the
ball, caddie; I'm through with this
blame game" But the next day Gil
was seer shooting a few-just for ex-
%ercise, he said.
Douglas Edgar, pro at the Atlanta,
Ga, club, who competed in the open
tournament, is remaining here for the
amateur to act as general adviser,
trainer and guardian of Perry Adair.
Edgar carries Perry's bag around and
watches over the youth very carefully.
The Atlantic pro favors j.. II. Taylor
to win the British open tourney in
