Gene Sarazen Is Only Foreign
Born Golf Player Surviving in
oakmont Tourney Classic.

OAKMoNT, Pa. Aug. 17.-There
could scarcely have developed a more
promising alignment than that Of
fered golfers today for the semi.
finals of the Professional Golfers
Association championship at the
Oakmont Country Club. Only one
OF the four survivors is OF foreign
birth. The meeting of Emmett
French, Of Youngstown, with John
Golden, Of Tuxedo, gave superlative
satisfaction since there are no home
breds In this country who for the
last three years have put up a more
consistent tournament campaign, de-
void of clap trap and the blare of
brass bands.
French. former Philadelphia dis
trict open titleholder who captained
the American team abroad. was
somewhat off his game last season,
owing to physical ills. but is finally
himself again. Golden started as a
caddie in the Ramapo Hills, but with
in three years had been made pro-
fessional Of the Tuxedo Park Club.
His progress in competitions has
been remarkably steady, with scarce
ly setback of note. He led the re.
cnt field at Shawnee until the fourth
round and made an excellent show
ing in the late National open cham
pionship. French was for many
years with the York tPa) Club be-
fore going to Ohio three seasons ago.
The other bracketing brought
Gene Sarazen. Highland Club OF
Pittsburgh and national open cham
pionship against Robert Cruickshank,
of Shackamaxon Club, Westfield,
N. J. Cruickshank was a Scotch
amateur until after the war and al
most from the first round he played
in this country has been looked upon
as a dangerous proposition. He fail
ed to win the New Jersey open cham
pionship over his home course last
May, but has already flashed two
or three times this season.
Naturally Sarazen's victory over
Jock Hutchison yesterday by a 3
and / was the big event. Gene was
plainly nervous at first. but speedily
recovered himself, and on the last
eight holes had Jock on the defen-
sive continuously. Hutch was con-
fident until near the finish, and a
better test Of their abilities may
never be afforded.

Joe Judge, by all odds the best

Tommy Connolly Is still a stickler

up yesterdays second game until

out of left field. Tommy Is the old

close to the best, too.
Bucky Harris gave an exhibition
OF some wonderful fielding in thnt

sides. He would ramble to left or

There comes time in every mans

hunch and becomes a conviction;
whereat he plays the thing across the
board and lets it go at that.
This writer has nursed the sug-
gestion of a hunch all through the

ships, now in progress, that a little
child shall lead them, or words to
that effect, and that Miss Helen
Wills. sixteen-year-old Californian, is
destined to become the sensation Of
the tournament.
After seeing little Helen come from
behind and storm her way to a
smashing victory over Mrs. Marion
Zinderstein Jessup in the fourth
round yesterday, the hunch Is so
close to a conviction that IL the cham
pionship itself goes west to Frisco,
this writer will scarce be able to lift

win be no effort at all for him to
assure himself that he knew II was
coming from the very first.
Helen Wills has played by long
odds the bEst tennis of any entry In
the championship tournament. and
were the latter to end at this nome Mt
this child would have to be acclaimed
the best of the lot.
Whether she can go through to the
title or not is quite another matter.
All she has TO do is to beat May Sut.

first and only American woman to
win at Wimbledon; Mrs. Mallory has
been national champion more times
than there are fingers on your left

home and friends. Yet we do not
hesitate to say that we think well
of her chances.
Candidly we will be vastly disap-
pointed II she does not defeat Mrs.
Bundy in the semi-finals tomorrow.
The latter is hardly the May Sutton
Of 1904, and she will need to be to
dispose of Miss Wills, who has speed,
the strokes, and even court strategy
in her favor.
Mrs. Mallory faces Miss Leslie Ban

wiry, in the other sim-final. The
champion should win, as she has
won all her matches this week
ra'her easily.
Then she will meet either Miss
! Wills or Mrs. Bundy In the finals.

National League Head Says
Judge Lands Appointment
Settlers All Player Issues.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-President
John A, Heydler. of the National
League. said today he could see no
necessity for a baseball players
union as outlined by Ray Cannon, q
former player and now an attorney
In Milwaukee.
with Judge lands at the head
OF organized baseball. every player
knows he can always get a square
DEAL" said Mr.. Heydler.
"As far as the major leagues are
concerned, and am only speaking
for them, there has never been a
time in all baseball history when
salaries were higher or players were
treated better. know of no Just
grievances which, when brought to
the attention Of the proper baseball
authorities, have not received
prompt attention. And l want to
say that disposition of these griev.
ances Is based wholly on justice
and right. In matters of this kind
there is no quibbling over techni-
calities.
Some years ago the players
formed a fraternity for the purpose
of bringing to the attention Of club
owners certain grievances. 1t is a
matter of history that all these
grievances were adjusted and Ger.
tain rules enacted which covered
them. The organization went out
Of existence. but those matters were
settled for ali time and the rules
enacted then are stHl in force.
There is no longer any occasion
for a man in the big leagues to
have grievances because they ali
can be disposed Of quickly.
"One Of the long-standing bones
Of contention was the ten-day clause
in contracts. We had to 20 into
court and defend that clause, and
we did II successfully, the Supreme
Court Of the United States deciding
such a regulation was necessary for
the proper conduct of the sport.
1t was predicted when we won this
decision that we would take wide
advantage of 1t. but we did not, and
baseball today Is conducted with
proper regard for the rights of the
players, the owners and the public.
II think we have been extra.
ordinarily fair. II any player has
a grievance he knows right where
to take IL and knows that Il will
be disposed Of in justice to him and
the club. / really can see no reason
why there should be a baseball
players union"
