SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-Gene
Sarazen, American professional golf
champion, and Arthur G. Havers,
British open champion, will start
their Seventy-two-hole international
match tomorrow over the course OF
the Lake MERGED Golf and Country
Club. They will play thirty-six
holes and complete the match at the
Hillcrest Country Club, Los An
geles, Sunday.
The match is expected to draw
the largest crowd that ever followed
golfers in this State. Unofficial
or official, the golfers here are
satisfied that Sarazen and Havers
are the logical and proper repre-.
sentatives of American and British
professional golf and are entitled to
participate In an international
match.
The Lake MERGED and Hillcrest
courses provide fine test of golf.
SaraZen and Havers have both de-
clared themselves well satisfied with
these courses. Both have been
working hard and both feel conf.
dent. Havers has the longest tee
shots ever seen on the Pacific coast,
and while a few days ago Serazen
was favored at to 1 to win, the
odds have shortened to even money.

MARYLAND'S NEW TEAM
SHOWING REAL CLASS

Although Maryland University s
basketball team is the first it has
had in years and is somewhat OF a
green combination, it is nevertho-
less a team Of winning ways.
Gallaudet's players are the latest
to take a tumble before Maryland
and the score Of a. to 28 does not
show the full extent Of Maryland
superiority.
Maryland's team play was much
better than Gallaudet's and but for
a number Of misses on easy shots,
the Old Line team would have won
more decisively. Lone-Shot Boat
wright made six long baskets to
keep Gallaudet from a worse beat

Alsck the Great. The latter also
helped to steady Vic Keen and
Nick Dumovich. other newcomers
to the Bruin flinging staff.
Entering his thirty-seventh year,
the mighty Nebraskan last season
established records that are ex.
pected to stand IN the pitching
books for years. He also proved
20 the vast majority that curvinS
II not lost art.
In his thirteenth campaign In
the majors, AleCk smashed one
official mark and created another
that had never entered the minds
Of the statiSticians. The Bruin
ace covered sos complete innings
on the tuFret and during that
period issued but 26 walks to
opposing batSmen, SURPRISING the
figure established by Babe
Adams, of the Pirates, who the
previous season had awarded but
IS tickets to enemy swatters in
III rounds.
Included in this stretch is q
string of marvellous control dating
from April Is and extending into
May in which the famous right
handler failed to issue a pass.
Never before had the cash GUS
toners heard Of a pitcher bowling
through six complete games with
out handling out a base on balls.
Aleck started grinding out slab
history on April Is and he reeled
off stretch of 81 innings in which
he never granted a pass until In
May. Never before had anybody
heard of q pitcher working six
somplete games without passing
More remarkable was the fact
that a pitching arm that had
worked from 1911 to 1917 in more
than 800 innings per season
should come back and deliver
such performance.
For seven campaigns, while
flinging for the PhilHeS, Alex
ander was known as the iron
man Of the mound. He tied
Christy Mathewson's record Of
being the only pitcher to total 80
or more victories In three success
sive seasons when he won 81 In
1915, 80 i'm 1916 and 30 in 1917.
After this notable achievement he
was sold to the Cubs and en-
tered the world war IN 1918.
Grover the Great was an ordinary
slabbist in 1919, turning in 10 vic.
tories while meeting is defeats. The
following year he flashed brilliantly.
winning 81 and losing IA games
while working in 1858 innings. There
were indications, however, that his
arm was aging when he did not
take his regular turn on the peak in
1871 and 1929.
The season Of 1928 saw Aleck in
possession of marvellous control and
In 81 consecutive periods the Old

four pitchers excelled Alexander on
