PITTSBURGH, Aug. 19.-Gene Sar-

golf genius, projected suddenly to the
highest pinnacle of the games fame,
today was swamped with messages
congratulating him on annexing the
national professional championship at
the treacherous Oakmont links here
yesterday. His future course was un-
decided He had before him today a
dozen invitations for lucrative engage
ments.
The dizzy speed maintained by the
youthful Sarazen who a few months
ago, was scarcely known in golfing
circles, was predicted by experts to be
capable of carrying him VIGOROUSLY
through the professional golfers assoc
iation events which now face him. w.
c. Fownes, Jr, internationally known
golfer, said today that Gene would de-
velop into the greatest golfer the world
has ever known when slight weak
nesses in putting were overcome. The
golf monarch's friends say he devotes
hours of practice daily to perfection of
his game. Genes caddy in the tourna-
ment just closed, Harry Mellon, today
had a new hundred dollar bill. 1t was
present from the champion for the
caddy's part in his victory.

poor health from the gassing he re-

there caused McGraw to buy him. The
next spring McGraw, after deciding he
was a conner, farmed him to Rochester
where he could watch the boy. He re
called Virgil the next fall only to send
him to Milwaukee in the spring OF

OWNERS COULD STOP
SALE OF REMNANTS

Baseball is rather generally aroused
over the strange hold that money is
getting on the major league sport
Pennant buying ought to be stopped.
AS long as there are piles of coin in
the New York offices and as long as
there are club owners of the Frazee
type, the only way to stop it IS
through legal channels.
If legislation against mid-season
selling isn't enacted this winter. the
poorer club owners will have no COM
plant coming next year as they should
have thirteen out Of sixteen votes to
put through what they might decide 20
be the proper remedy.
Considering the fact that money
is not new born menace of baseball
and that it should have been pjpped
in its infancy, the doubt arises that
the club owners are sincere in their
loud voiced protests. One can't help
but get the idea that they don't want
to lose the chance to make big sales.
Those of the club owners who have
nothing to market this season can't
be sure that they will not base a
player to bring down big coin on the
block next year.
Most of the big league managers
favor an amendment to the present
rule moving the time limit for sales
back from July 81 to June 80 or earlier.
Branch Hickey and Charles Fbbetts
says they would support a rule pro
hibiting all sales after the start of the
pennant race. Bill McKecnme, new
pilot of the Pirates, thinks that new
names should be added to the club
rosters only by way of the minors.
The opinion, expressed for public
consumption, among the other owners
and managers outside of New York
and Boston, is that the rule ought to
be changed.
The real reason for the reckless
expenditure of cash by the New York
clubs is not apparent on the surface
1t is the result of rivalry between the
Giants and the Yanks in which both
clubs are trying to get the best draw
ing card. The Yanks are spending the
most money and they are getting the
big patronage.
