HAGEN WOULD PLAY.
DUNCAN FOR A FEE

Walter Hagen is not a betting
man when it comes to golf, ne
said in taking cognizance of as
sertio in the British press that ne
was afraid of George Duncan. VINO
has challenged Hagen to contest on
the links for a. wager Of $4,000.
The former British champion. who
recently defeated Abe Mitchell in q
match on which $5.000 was bet. said
that he was willing to meet Duncan
under any reasonable conditions, but
that he would not bet on his golf as
his business was to play the game for
suitable fees. 80,
Hagen's proposal is that he will
NAV Duncan or any other golfer IN a
72.hole match. provided some one else
promotes the match and pays him
suitable retainer.
