YOUNG GENE SARAZEN
GUARDS HIS LAURELS
Expected to Reign Supreme for
Indefinite Period.
Champion Golfer Takes Best Care Of
Himself and His Great Success
Has Not as Yet Affected
Size of His Hat.

Young Gene Sarazen, who won most
of the 1922 honors in golf, seems des-
tined TO reign supreme for a long time.
Sarazen is young, takes the very
best Of care Of himself, and has not
permitted his great success to change
the size Of his hat
There is no nineteenth hole for Sar-
azen. When the game is over it is
the showers, then the big feed for
him. None Of the championship affairs
resolve themselves into booze parties
for Sarazen.
Gene fakes the game seriously. He
has already made a lot of money out
of it, and intends to make great
deal more. It is his livelihood and
he means to nurse it.
The very fact that Sarazen, eight
days after his recent operation for ap-
pendicitis, was strolling around a golf
course is proof Of the excellent health
that he enjoys.
