Among all the sparkling pyrotechnics
that sent the annual championship tour
nament OF the Professional Golfers AS
ISOLATION along to the third round yes
terday on the Inwood links at Far Rock
away there was nothing to outshine the
halo which little Gene Sarazen Of Titus
Vile. and formerly an Apawamis caddie
boy plucked from the lap OF destiny
when he overthrow the title holder and
British championship winner, Jock
Hutchinson Of Glen View, Chicago, by the
one sided score Of up and to play.
Out at Toledo In last years champion
ship professionals were passing along
the tip: Watch that little chap from
Fort Wayne. Gene Sarazen!"
Gene moved with the openin8 OF the
1921 season from Fort Wayne to Titus
vile. but without In any way injurinr
his game And. In any event. no star in
the armament can forever remain hid
den by a cloud.
Many may recall Sarazen as the lad
who stepped It with Bobby Jones In the
open championship at Washington.
Others remember him as playing lusty
golf In the metropolitan open at
Sfwanoy. But up Westminster way
there Is no need to ask WHO Is
Sarazen?" He is one of that rapidly
multiplying army of potential cham
pions and his star is In the heavens.
Watch him.
Yesterday stocky little Gene did what
was regarded as next to impossible by
leading Jock Of the flaxen locks over the
ounkers by such a one sided margin.
and 1t does not dctract one iota from
the performance to say that Hutchison's
game was but broken down shadow
OF that which carried him through az
st. Andrews
The champion in the morning round
REQUIRED no less than 81 strokes to go
around the eighteen holes. but he would
nave required his best and perhaps
something more to escape defeat at the
hands Of sarazen. who made the round
IN SO. With this the TitusviIle pro-
was no less than eight holes to the good,
and no rally In the afternoon could hope
to cope with such a disadvantage.
Hutchinson. II seems, has not been
playing well for a month, and to-day he
is we'll on his way to Chicago to rest up.
AS for Sarzen having done for Harry
Hampton of Detroit in the frst rouno
and Hutchinson In the second, he is now
headed for match with Cyril Walker
of Englewood. the player who almost
won the metropolitan open championship,
and, being deprived of that honor. made
good in the Pennsylvania State tourney.
Eight Players Survive.
Those surviving for the third round
are Freddy Mcleod Of Columbia, Ma
uonal Champion Jim Barnes of Pelham,
George Mclean Of Grassy Sprain, EN-
met French OF Youngstown captain Of
the American professional team which
this year invaded Britain Cyril Walker.
Sarazen, Walter Hagen and John Golden

remembering that Hutchinson might be
anxious for company. obligingly released
Laurie Ayton OF Evanston from further
engagements and cut him free 20 occupy
the upper In q golfers section on the
midnight f1ier bound west. Ayton was
l up on the thirty-fourth green, but he
lost the last two, to give Golden the
victory by l up.
To-day in the third round 1t is Nc
Leod against Barnes, the 1919 final all
over again. Mclean against French,
Walker against Sarazen, and fzagen
against Golden.
Those who fell by the wayside in the
second round OF thirty-six holes were
Jack Gordon OF Buffalo, beaten by Nc
Leod, and 2; Robert Cruickshank Of
Essex county, who went down before
Barnes. 8 and 4; Jimmy West Of Rock

as already stated. was Sarazen's victim
Tom Boyd OF Fox Hills who went out
at the prompting OF Walter Hagen by
and 8, and Ayton, whose fate. like
that OF Hutchison, has been recounted.
From the above II will be seen that
the second round was the antithesis Of
the first. On Tuesday most OF the
matches were close. Yesterday the ma
jorfty were extremely onesided. and only
the one In which Golden and Ayton were
engaged came to the home green. Golden
was UP as result OF the morning
play. but Ayton cut this down and
made q grand fight Of II in tho after
noon. A drive sliced to the rough and
a second into the water hazard at the
home hole beat Ayton. Golden was on
and had an easy 4.
McLeod's win of and over Cor
Mothersele, the open champion OF Maine,
were next in point of longevity. Walker
had Mothersele 2 down in the morning
and later on brought him to dormic 8.
Charlie then staged q rally that Melted
him three holes In a row and Walker
had to take the thirty-fourth to finish IL.
All Square on First Round.
Mcleod and Gordon were all
square on the first round. In the after
noon, however, the Columbia midget be-
came Q up at the seventh and . UP at
the eighth. Freddy lost the twelfth.
but made a birdie Q on the AIS yard
sixteenth that caused tho Buffnlo man
to telephone for his reservation on
Hutchison's golfers special.
For the 1fty-four holes played up to
noon Sarazen had best ball OF 55.
Gene had scored a birdie, or better. on
every hole but the NTH. II was on the
Homecoming stretch OF his morning
round with Hutchison that he did his
best work. for he came home In 32 after
going out In 81. Hutchinson was Al out
and 40 back. Jock was 4 down NJ the
turn and he dropped four more coming
home. Sarasen finished with 8, 9, 4.
against the par OF 4, 4. and Hutchi-
sons 5, s, 8.
In that early round Hutchison was
Wild On the other hand Sarazen kept
the BAN right down the middle OF the
coarse ana hit tremendous ball from
the tee. He was outdriving the cham
pIon even when the latter was hitting
his best.
