players.
According to the L'Auto. Mr.. Pyle
took the opportunity to announce that
before a month has elapsed a plan
would be worked out for a profession
al tennis association and that before
year elapsed he hoped to overcome
the prejudices of lawn tennis associa-
tions and be able to hold open meets
as in golf. with both anna tours and
professionals playing.
Mr.. Pyle added that tennis had not

other tennis accessories, thereby be-

all of whom are amateurs.

Hagen was reminded that many
critics have declared him a better
match than medal player
That's one thing I'd like to set
golfers right on" he declared. THE
idea that there is any difference be-
tween match and medal play always
has amused me. There's only one
kind of golf and that is hitting the
ball from tee to green and boiling out
in the cup. I play medal play al
ways, that is in the sense of always
going out after pars instead OF Try

play when one should take notice of
his opponent and that is on the green
where 1t is necessary to know
whether one should so for the cup
or play safe"
A study of Hagen's record sup
ports the view that his main trl-
upphs have been in stroke competi-
ton, although 1t also is true that
some of his most brilliant victories
have been at match play. Earlier
this year, for instance he trounced
the recent golf king, Bobby ones, by
a margin of IL up and IL to go. in a
70 hole match in Florida. In England
Hagen triumphed over mis- foremost
British professional rival, Abe
Mitchell, in another 72-hole battle.
but his latest victory, in the eastern
open championship, was at stroke
competition and included a record
breaking card Of 1872 for the first So
holes of the test.
Altogether, since winning his first
American open crown~in 1914, Hagen
has played in Ga open tournaments OF
major importance here and abroad,
winning "a of them. Thus he has
emerged triumphant on an average
of better than once in every three
tournament efforts. He mas taken a
golf title from every country except
Canada. He has won the champion

two years-a match play ae;air-and
