'GOLFING FANS
MEET SARAZEN
ON PARK LINKS
Gene Arrives Early Today,
Meets President and Then
Shows Bugs How It's Done.
By BRYAN MORSE.

" are going to greet Cham
W pion Gene Sarazen in num-
bers today. All about town
Sarazen has been the by-word
among those who play golf and
especially the public park player
of East Potomac Park. Sarazen,
worlds champion golfer, arrives
in town this morning to give The
Sporting Herald golf fans a free
lesson on the East Potomac Park
golf course. Changes in the plans
of the national open champion late
yesterday afternoon held him in
New York. Sarazen, with his
manager, Ray Mccarthy, arrive
at z o'clock this morning and go
right over to the Shoreham for
breakfast. After he gets settled
down it is likely that he will ride
around a bit. At 1890 O'Clock
Sarazen will go to the White
House where he will meet Presi-
dent Harding.
1t is probable that Sarazen and
the President will chat a little
about golf. President Harding is an
ardent golf fan and player He pre-.
sented the national open champion.
ship cup and medal to Jim Barnes
a year ago. last summer at Colum-
bia. Sarazen now has this cup in
his possession. 1t rested on the
big table on the front porch at Co.
lufnbia along with Jock Hutchinson s
British open trophy and was guard
ed by two husky marines.
Young SaraZen has played on al.
most as many golf courses in his
brief career as, president Harding
has been made a member of since
he took up the job here in Wash
ington
WILL MEET PRESIDENT.
At any rate. Sarazen is keen on
meeting the President and would
like to play golf with the Chief
Executive if it were possible. The
champion will then go to lunch and
will speed on down to East Po-
tomac Park, where Col. c. o. Sher-
rill. aide to the President, will be
the chief dignitary in a flag-raising.
Sarazen will probably be on hand
for the stunt, as will several others
OF the local professionals.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Sarazen will
give the golfing fans a lesson in
golf. The champion will demon
strate all the strokes of the game
how they are played correctly and
how they are played incorrectly.
The champions play and instruc-
tions will be announced by mega
phone. so that everyone will be able
to hear. The exhibition will last
about an hour. There are no trick
stunts performed by Sarazen, but the
real instruction that is given by the
best instructors in the world.
GETS SARAZEN FIRST.
Washington is particularly for.
tunate in getting Sarazen's golf
lesson first. The champion comes
here and then goes to New York
direct. leaving here so that he can
give the Van Cortlandt Park public
park players another lesson.
The idea of golf instruction as
mass teaching originated with Sara
zen and is a distinct feature of the
game. which is being taken UP by
thousands all over the country.
Motion pictures will be taken of
SaraZen's lesson this afternoon,
rushed to the developer, cut, sub.
titles put in and will be shown at
the motion picture houses tonight.

TT has been said by some
the hand is the thing that
makes man superior to ami
mails. This is not true. 1t is
the MIND.
The human mind directs the
hand. In some men there is a
perfect partnership between the
mind and the hand. They work
simultaneously. This is called
coordination.
In other men there is a dis
tinct lapse of time between the
signal from the mind and the
action of the hand. Sometimes
the mind works too fast for the
hand. Again the hand moves
ahead of mind. There is a lack
of coordination.

a Center church yesterday after
noon. The bishop arrived at The
church 20 minutes late because the
gasoline supply had been stolen from
the automobile in which he started
for the church from the home of
Dean Charles r. Brown of the Yale
Divinity school.
In his speech Bishop Hughes de-
clared he didn't think the automobile
was a source of evil. He declared

but time has changed that view.
After the service a local clergy

it was found that seven gallons of
gasoline had been taken from the
