HAGEN CAPTURED WESTERN
 GOLF CHAMPToNsH

Cleveland, Aug. 25-Walter Hagen of New York, twice former national open champ, today captured the western open golf championship for the third time at Jock Hutchinson of Chicago, British open champ and present title holder of this event was second with 292 and En- melt French, of Youngstown, third with 294.
 Only three other players finished under 300 in the event which is open to the world and was contested by the nation al open crown bearer James Barnes of New York; the British open champion Hutchinson the Canadian pen champ, W. H. Trovinger of Detroit; the metropoli- tan open champion Bob Mcdonald of New York; and the Australian open title holder Joe Kirkw6od.
 The play was spectacular for low | scores on the first day but after good par golf on the second round, the scores in most cases amounted several strikes l today because of a gale that swept the course.
 1 Hagen, however, kept the even tenor of his way along the path of almost per feet golf without mounting to spectacu- lar heights or dropping to mediocrity. l His rounds of 71-7273-71-2S7 amount | ed to just three strokes over par for the tA uOtSS. lie QlQ not nave a SIX or a seven on the entire card and only 16 holes in five. He did not have any freak scores to make. up for poor holes, SCOT 1 ing only one 3.
 Hutchinson satisfied the loss of his title wholly on last round, taking .76 to Hagen's Il and this slump from pre- vivous scores of 72-71-73 was due to his proclivity for water. He found the creek on the second hole twice today 1 for two sixes and washed away his re- maining chances for victory in the brook on the tenth hole of the final round, talk | ing another six
 Hagen an Hutchinson played together in today's two rounds and drew an i'm mense gallery but another large crowd followed the pennant of Bobby Jones who tied Kirkwood for fourth place, four strokes better than Bob Mcdonald who was next in line with 299.
 The winning score today was four above the record for the event set at 289 by Jim Barnes at Westmoreland in 1917 and repeated two yesterday at the Mayheld Club and enc stroke higher than the record for the national open fevent made by Chick Evans at Minikahda in 1917.
 Mike Brady's poor scores today were due to the fact that he had no sleep last night, his wife having to be taken to a hospital after a nights suffering with appendicitis

CAN'T LEVY SEWER TAX
 ON OLD FORT GRIsWoLD

Property belonging to the United States is not subject to state or local taxes Attorney General Frank E. Healy has informed the Fort Griswold Tract commission of Groton, in an opinion submitted to Treasurer Henry L. Bailey of GrotoTi, relative to the legality of an assessment agaiast the commission by the town of Grcton in connection with the construction of a sewer. The bor- ough of GrEton, the attorney general finds. has no special legislative author ity to make this assessment.
 In the opinion sent to Treasurer Bal ley, Attorney Healy says:
 "The records show that when the United States deeded the Fort Griswold tract to the state of Connecticut the deed contained reservation that the fee of the property should remain in the federal government. and that Con necticut was deeded only the right to occupy, improve and control the prop erty for the purpose of a public park. The deed also contained a further res ervation that the United States can re- sume possession and occupy said prop erty at any time that the president I deems it necessary.
 Since the tir1e that this property was deeded to the state of Conn necticut 1 the state has received by gift, through the public spirit of a citizen of Gro ton, two additions of property adjoin. i ing the Fort Griswold tract.
 From my examination of the charter Of the borough of Groton, and of spe cia1 laws authorizing said borough te construct sewers. I am unable from thu language used in said laws. to find any intent on the part of the legislature tt give said borough any greater powers than are generally granted to all othel municipalities in this state
 "The property of the United State. and of the state of Connecticut has al ways been exempt by statute from al kinds of taxation, and the present ex emption is contained in chapter 109 0 the public acts of 1921.
 "Even without the aid of the statute property belonging to the United State is not subject to state or local taxes because the unrestricted ownership O property is one of the inherent preroga tives of government. The state, for tn same reason, stands in exactly the sam relation to the municipalities that 1 creates by action of its general assem bly,"
