He said he thought he'd 20 all right.
Hutchison was asked for the "inside. ="
"Sure Gene will play in Scotland, t"

HAGEN OUTSTANDING
4. GOLFER OF COUNTRY
RIGHT AT THIS TIME
Makes Records Whe.eper
He Goes and Piles Up
Big Bank Account.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

Copyright, by The San AHtenfo Light
New York, April 2.-Whatever the
future events of the golf season may
show, there is no doubt that the out
standing golfer in this country, if not
in the world. at the present moment
is Walter Hagen. Not only was his
victory in the famous North and
South open tournament at Pine
hurst marked by a record-breaking
low aggregate for the ~ holes (299I
but his extraordinary achievements at
Belleaire Heights, Fla, at Asheville
and at San Antonio in preceding tour
neys, were all of iconoclastic merit so
far as records go.
Unquestionably. the British open
champion is on his mettle and the
most interesting question now is
whether or not his flight will be fur
Their sustained in the months 10 come.
If so. we shall be called upon to con-
template golfer who stands out in
his profession as Ruth and Dempsey
and Tilden and Lenglen stand out in
theirs.
1t is interesting to note that Joe
Kirkwood, the Australian, finished in
the money at Pinehurst, landing a
301 for seventh place. 1t is not TO be
doubted that Hagen and Kirkwood
have accumulated satisfactory bank
balances since they have been in the
money and high at that, in some one
hundred-odd matches and tourna-
ments.
Gene Sarazen and jock Hutchison.
who were traSeling as a pair, albeit
not over. territory so great and occu-
pying much less time, met the Hagen
Kirkwood combination six times and
were successful upon two occasions at
eighteen holes. but only by very small
margins. They were beaten three
times by Kirkwood and Hagen and
one match was halyed So to date the
honors are with the international pair.
We shall see what the future will
bring.

With the assistance of two New

the San Antonio Bears drubbed the

weather prevailed, as on Saturday,

to connect safely off Ryan's delivery.
He sent a fast single to right in the
