NEW YORK, June 11.-They do
not call them the heavenly twins,
for Cincinnati, since the discovery
Of padlocks for breweries, is in an
other neighborhood, but Horace
Ford and Hughie Critz, the key
stone kids from Redland, are play
ing celestial baseball, and are the
answer to Jack Hendricks prayer.
The Cincinnati Reds, despite grip,
grapes and grouches-the three bug
bears of major league managers this
season-are out in front in the Ma
tional League race because of the
splendid defensive work of Horace
and Hughi9. They are the Katzen-

Tor no 9th r
purpose than to give the ancient
pewter mug a free ride to Ellis
Island in the company Of one of our
sleek haired young men.
Seven of the last eight British
opens have been won by American
invaders. This proves then that it
is no trick to win the British open.
Provided you we're born in America
But Hagen has way of winning
these tournaments that sets him
apart. He has an air about him,
or as the British would say, a
presence" A home run in base
ball these days means nothing un-
less Babe Ruth smacks it. Hagen
and golf triUmphs are much the
same.
MO GOLFER ever took a more
y hun1iliating defeat than Hagen
did a week before play started in
the recent British open when Archie
Ccmpston beat him in an exhibition
match, Is and IT, That's a grand
slam in golf. You can't beat any
body any worse, without using a
bowie knife, a mallet and an auto
matte.
Of course Hagen came back and
won the championship He always
does. This is the quality that makes
him stand out as the most colorful
figure in the history of golf, In the
ornate lexicon of the Rochester
Dutchman there is no such phrase
as nine, ten, and out!"
You read much Of the fighting
Hagen spirit. Those who never have
seen him play must picture him as
man with eternally clinched teeth,
blazing eyes and bullying shoulders,
a staggering st. George of the
links, before whom all the dragons
in gaudy plus tours roll over, play
dead and murmur Uncle.
He's no more like that than Cal
Coolidge is like Eddie Cantor,
with or without makeup. His rep
utation as an implacable fighter
is based on his rather level headed
PSYCHOLOGY that it is just as easy
to play good shot when you are
behind as in front.
ID ECAUSE he has come from be-
Id hind so often to win in the
major tournaments there is a
tendency to credit his victories to
the clenched jaw rather than to the
well played golf shot. The truth is
Hagen has just about as much golf
ability, taking his game as whole,
as any professional this country
ever developed
1t takes something more than the
old up-and-at- EN- spirit to win and
keep on winning. The era of the
boys that could only take it passed
out with the Bat Nelson's.
Gene Tunney showed that he
could take it in the seventh round
at Chicago, also that he could give
it. The first punch that was landed
in the round after the knockdown
was a stiff left-hander that re-
! sounded sickly against MI. Demp-
Sey's potato crunchers.
/ imagine by now Hagen must
be pretty well fed up on toast
masters, chair1nen of welcoming
committees, Princes of Wales and
Journalistic commentators who
gush gushingly on his qualities as
a fighting man. The man appears
also to be golfer. 1 don't think
it would do any harm if someone
accused him of it publicly one of
these days.
