Johnny, contentedly, viewing MS

Hagen drove over the edge of the
trees to the acenter of the fairway,

10 those Golfing fans who have
thought Farrell too little the battler.
the story OF his struggle with Walter
hagen In the Central of Florida Open
at Sanford will he Illuminating. p
Johnny not only matched his cour-
age against Hagen's successfully. but
used his head as well. and at one
point his tactics were Of vital impor
lance to the result.
Farrell Ties Diegel.
Al the end Of the first day Of play
Hagen led the field with score Of
142. Farrell was in second place. tied
with Leo DieSel at l44.
.Iohnny's position was most desir
able one. hut when the second days
play began q condition had been inn
posed upon him which might have
been disa strous had not he been i'm
bued with new spirit.
TO be brief. the committee in
charge paired" Hagen. Farrell and
Jim Barnes for the final Sc holes Of
play. thus putting johnny in direct
competition with Walter.
Now, to the average young player
direct competition with Hagen means
defeat. Walters unparalleled record
and his resulting supreme confidence
are sufficient TO turn the psychology
Of the less experienced player in
side out. The tendency of the young
fellow is to watch the great veterans
every move and TO model his own
ga me accordingly.
II had done that very thing
against Walter at French Lick in
1924" says Johnny, and it had
beaten me.
This time I decided 10 ignore
Walter completely. Advised by jim
Barnes. who always has been my

Policy. Is Wise.
The wisdom Of this policy was ar-
parent by the time the third round
was done. Farrell had shot a II to
Bagen's "a and was leading fhe field
by Il single stroke.
Naturally the rest of the course
was deserted while q huge gallery fol
lowed Hagen and Farrell through the
final IS holes of the afternoon.

Every time this sort or tnlng nap
pens the Yankees. if they are doinS
We'll in any way. are that much better
off by the fall of a neighbor. This
nice little battle among the Yanks
close rivals. who are so well matched
that they constitute a division all
their own. has been one of the reasons
why the Yanks have been able 10
drift along in a high percentage
stratum.
1t is a great feat for a ball team
To have gone into the latter part OF
June with q percentage above 100.
The thing began back in May. On
MAY - the YankS stood q 1863.
Washinston's little fun in knocking
Tho Yanks below the 200 mark was
accomplished in the first game Of a
double header. and even though New
York won the second game the per
centage damage could not he repaired.
YankS Facing a Fight.
There comes time In base ball
when, if team plays double. header
and only breaks even. 1t really loses
in the pennant fight which is waged
IN the percentage basis. In the case
of the Yanks. where there seems to be
little to worry about with nine game
lead. there is more prospect II fisht

The problem now rs whether the
Yankees, when they get back to their
own diamond. can draw away from
the remainder of the league as they
did when they fought in Yankee
stadium before. If they can repeat
then the problem Of winning pen
nant is much easier for Miller
Huggins.
AS the yanks will finish on their
own field this year. il is evident that
when the third opportunity arises to
accumulate victories at home the
team may be able to ga Their SO much
honey that nothing in the league can
take a look-in after the middle OF

on the other hand. II the YanKs
have reached their peak and are
now in a condition where they Will

as likely as not q. slump may set
In and the first thing the fans viii
know. one of these Western clubs
will be giving the Yanks a battle
that will take all the force they
possess TO head off,
l. Is pretty obvious. after their
trip TO the West and after analyzing
the teams work since May q. that
the Yankees are finding the soing
harder than they did. They have
not been able to put away so many
1ames in succession.
No matter by how much they lead
right now the Yanks since the lat
tor part of May have lost about 40
r~rcontage points. Their lead has
hecn combed down from .769-and
maybe The same sort OF thing Will
