oakmcnt Country club, Plttsburg. August 1S.-Four years ago a IT, ycar-old caddie named Eugene Sara zen sat under a tree on a golf course at Rye, N. Y. and told himself in a day dream that he was going to be- come king of all American profess sionals. That dream came true to- Gay on the hill-capped and trench scared course at Oakmont. The same Gene, already open champion of the United States. captured the final round of the national profes- sional tournament from Emme5t French of Youngstown. O., f up and 3 to play, in a desperate 36-hole stru% gle. Both players showed the effects of nervous tension throughout the match. Neither took spectacular chances.
 When Gene halved the thirty-third hole in four, record breaking gal lery swept on the green and the youngster quickly was hoisted to tho shoulders of friends. French was not forgotten. He, too, was carried to the eighteenth hole, where victor and runner-up received fruits of triumph. To Gene went the big silver cup, Highland Country club of PittsburE, where Sarazen is the professional. A diamond studded medal and a check for $500 also were presented to the champion by W. O. Fownes, Jr., of Pittsburg. on behalf of the tournament committee. A gold medal and s250 were given to French. Tho big. good-natured star from Youns5- town pocketed his prizes, gave Gene a rousing slap on the back and trudged to the club house. The crowd

Illustrations Within c Match of Win in
 Cup Finals

Philadelphia, August 1s.-Austra- Has Davis cup tennis team tonight stands within one match of the ehal- lenge round and the right to play the United States trophy defenders. On the courts of the Germantown cricket club this afternoon, Gerald L. Pat terson and Patrick O'Hara Wood de- feated Manueal Alonzo and Count Manuel DeGomar. the Spanish repre- sentatives, in the doubles match in straight sets by scores of 6-3. 6-3. 6-4.
 The Australians always dominated tho contest and seldom failed to come through with the winning stroke when a point was actually necessary. Patterson and O'Hara Wood teamed better than their Spanish opponents and there was at times finality to their strokes, particularly those made close to the net, that was completely absent in the racquet work of the Spaniards.
 Both A1onzo and DeGomar were fast a-foot and with racquet, but when close to the corded barrier they hit overhead shots that were re- peatedly hurled back by one or the other of the Australians.
 There was little team work in the play of Alonzo and DeGomar, but as individual players they were still stars and their sprinting, surprising returns of apparently sure point shots and puzzling service carried the play to deuce in many games where the Australians were leading by several points.
 Tomorrow Patterson will play Alonzo and O'Hara Wood will meet Count DeGomar In singles, and in or der to reach tho challenge round the | l-l matches, feat considered improb- 1 able by tennis experts here.

Doctored Balls Causes Texas Leaguers to
 Reuerse Verdict

Houston, August 18.-Texas league club owners, in executive session hero today, awarded to the Dallas club the game played at Wichita Falls August 12, which Wichita Falls won. to 8. The vote was unanimous after affidavits had been presented.
 The adoption of the following reso- lution was what brought about the unusual judgment of completely switching the result of the August 12 game.
 "The Texas league declares the game of Saturday, August 12. for feited to Dallas on evidence satis- factorily abducted and proved by chemical analysis that the balls on which the protest is based have ab- sorbed creosote. The league believes that the occurrence Is one calling for the severest penalty in the event the culprit can be apprehended and calls on the Wichita Falls club to fix the guilt"
 The league authorized the state ment that it does not regard as re- sponsible the owners or managers of the Wichita Falls club.

BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD, SATURDAY AUGUST 1s 1922
Here's the Letter Douglas Is Said
 To Haue Written

Chicago, August 1S.--PhiI Doug lns, stnr pitcher for the New York Giants, believed that if he stayed on the team and pitched. the Giants would win the 1922 pennant, and that if he left the tenn New York could not win the flag, according to letter he wrote to an unnamed player of the National league, and which was made public by K. M. Lam dis, commissioner of baseball, to- day.
 Douglas, who was placed on the permanent ineligible list by the Giants hitter the player to whom he wrote and asked flor induce mentsv to leave, turned the Iet- ter over to his manager, which revealed thnt he had no liking for Manager John McGraw of the Giants, and believed that Me- Gravy could not win without him.
 Commissioners Lnndis, who made the letter public while watching the Cubs and Giants play here today, offered no comment, and refused to divulge the name of the player to whom Douglas wrote. The letter. which was made public by Commissioner Landis, follows,
 ''From New York, N. Y., Am gust IS.
 s"TO Dear
 q want to leave here, but I want some inducement. don't vvnnt this guy to win the pen- nant, and I feel if stay here I will win it for him. You know I can pitch and win. So you see the fellows, and if you want to, send a man over here with the goods and I will leave for home on next train. Send him to my house so nobody will know and send him mt night. I am living at 145 Wndsworth avenue, apart ment 1-R. Nobody will ever know. I will go down to fishing camp and stay there. I am ask- ing you this way so there can't be any trouble to anyone. Call me up if you are sending n man, Wadsworth 3210, and if nm not there, just tell Mrs. Douglas. Do this right away. Let mo know, Regards to nll. Phil Douglas.o
 Judge Landis said he believed Mrs. Douglas was not involved in Douglas plan, although she is mentioned in the letter.

GENE. .SARAZEN WINS
 PRO GOLF TOURNEY

mighty battle, but Gene refused to crack under the strain. Intends to Cross Pond Among the battery of questions hurled at the victor was this one: Will you cross the pond in the spring and try to win the British open?"
 T hope so.' replied sarazen quietly.
 The black-haired boy-hardly known to the golf world until thts summer. will have an opportunity to perform a feat never accomplished in the history of the sport. He will go to England holding two American titles and hopeful of capturing q third crown.
 Poor Medal Cards
 The medal cards were the poorest that either player turned in during the tournament. In previous matches each beat par-37 out and 37 in-on verdi occasions. and each shot the course on one occasion in 69. In the forenoon Gene went out in 3s and French took 39. They came back in 36 and 37 respectively. Trap trouble ruined their afternoon cards. Sarazen's first nine totalled fl. wh'le French had 40. Sarazen won chiefly because he had something in reserve. They played much the same sort Of game until the break came. At times Sarazen's approach shots were pit more certain. possibly because of his thorough knowledge of the course. Sarazen's next big match probably will be with Walter Hagen of De- troit, the British open champion. Gene does not expect to compete in the western open championship at Detroit.
