GENE SARAzEN WINS
 FROM E. FRENCH
Youthful Golfer AnneXeS ProieS'
 Sional Golfers Assn. Title V

Oakmont Country Club, Pittsburgh
 Aug. 19.-Another chapter in the romance of Gene Sarazen was written
 yesterday when the former Apawamis caddie added the Professional Golf er's Association title to his 1922 col
 lection by defeating Emmet French in
 the final round of the tournament, 4
 up and to play Sarazen Is the first golfer to win both the American open and P. G. A. championships in the same year.
 Sarazen Is probably getting more fun out of his championships than any golfer who has won the big titles. The twenty champion Is still caddie when it comes to ex- pressing his appreciation of the honors he has won in the great king dom of sport. When he won the Southern winter open championship at New Orleans last winter Sarazen grinned as he was presented with the championship cup. At Skokie he grin ned again when he was lifted to the shoulders of the shouting mob in front of the club house and yesterday, after fighting bitter battle to win his third championship within a year, he could only grin some more when a gallery of 2,o0o strong cheered his victory in front of the Oakmont Club House.
 When the crowd yelled for speech, Gene ran for the club house. News paper men, who found him in the locker room and asked for a state ment, were rewarded only with an- other grin, the grin of a twenty one year-old boy who six years ago was a poor caddie and who today is q champion who will earn several thou sand dollars before 1922 passes into history. Sarazen's grin is probably the most boyishly happy grin to be ob- served on American golf links to- day
 Both Players Show Strain

Their match play was so close however that they finished all even at the end of the morning round.

On the 37o yard seventh hole both were on in 2, but French again won when he sank 3o-footer for another birdie" and squared the match His third sue cessive winning putt was an 8 footer /, on the 233 yard eighth hole that gave him a against Sarazens 5 and the lead for the first time. Hard luck and i Sarazen's good play cost French the i ninth hole when his second shot hit the pin and bounced into trap. Sar- azen was on here in 2 and won with a birdie" that squared the match IS the men made the turn.
