ter. much better. than I did last year."
 If he does much better than he d1d In 1927, the man who wins will have to beat him, for the was third in the open last year.
 4 glance at Sarazen's compact form showed no evidence of the overweight" of which he spoke with some apprehension so le was asked to make that statement more definite.
 'Oh yes. I'm overweight now" he insisted. T weigh l5l. My best weight is l47."
 Genes big golf year was 1922, when, as q .o-year-old pro, lately graduated from the caddy ranks, he won the open championship of the United States with score of .SS and followed with a victory in the professional golfers association championship.
 Two other points the good natur- cd pro would like to clear up while he has the floor.
 Not that it make much differ ence," he said, but l am usually credited or charged with year more in age than I am entitled to. 1 am only e6. l was born at Har- rison, N. Y., February e7, 1909.
 "The other point is where I work. There is little confusion about that. l have been the pro for about four years at the Fresh Meadow Country Club at Flushing. l like the job and if it's all right ! would like to have that emphasized"
 Gene walked several holes with the Prince of Wales at Sandwich but the Prince did not know that the golf pro WAS rider on the side, so they did not discuss horses. T didn't bring up the subject" said Gene, "and he did not say anything about it either"
 We talked some golf but only generally. l did not ask him about his game and he didn't ask me any thing about how to cure a slice. I don't know how good a golfer he is, but he is great sportsman. From what l saw of him I would stamp him regular quite regular"
 AS for Gene-he expects to play great golf this year and for several years to come-if the horses hold out.

SARAzEN GIVES TRAINING IDEAS r., s0AAO
Aolstback Riding Brought Him
 Back to Winning Form

New York. May 2s R@Gene Sar- asen has never offered his golf king dom for horse because 1t has not been necessary. He has the.horse, unidentified by name, but resident of little town in Florida.
 "To what single factor, if any. do you attribute your return to winning form in your play this winter and spring." Gene was asked.
 "A horse down in Newport Rich ey. Fla.." was the reply.
 The former open and P. G. A. champion explained:
 T feel right this year for the first time since l have been playing seri- ous competitive golf. There are several reasons. but I place the horse first.
 "All winter I rode horseback all the time l wasn't playing golf. eat. ing or sleeping. I have never been really we'll. My health has been bad, on and on. mostly off. for long time. and l knew that if I did not get myself in shape. I wouldn't win any pk
 Right behind the horse I place my old friend Artie MeGovern, who did a lot for Babe Ruths baseball and Johnny Farrells golf. Artie f1Xed me up with a diet list and a prescription for drinking a lot of hot water and l worked in his gym until went south for the winter.
 In Fine shape.
 Then the horse took up where Artie left off and between them they did the work. I am in fine shape now and I am sure all I have to do is to watch my diet and keep up my exercises. Of course, I can't take the horse out on the golf course with me, and. as that is where am spending all my time now, I will forego my riding exercises until next winter. But that old horse will be waiting for me.
 '1 look like I'm in the pink of condition all the time, but l am not as good aA look in health. l have had a lot of operations and doctor- ing and l never felt fully recovered from them until this spring and winter. l played wonderful golf all winter and in the British open I never felt better. I tell you never missed shot in the tourna- ment. l made mistakes, of course, or would have won. but the boots were in taking the wrong clubs for some of the shots. I hit the ball all right. but l guessed wrong on what l needed to get there with.
 II had and three 6s. But that was not where I lost the title, or at least a tie with Hagen for it. l putted myself into second place on one green. I drove the green, as pretty tee shot as you ever saw. And then what do you think I did? Yep. took three butts. Three butts on one green. If l had got down in one putt, l would have been tied with the Hais. and then We would have had some fun.
 "At that l feel fine over the re- suit Of the British tournament. I. was second. just two strokes behind Hagen. and that's q good deal better than a lot Of my friends thought l would do.
 Expects Big Year.
 Y think this is my year and l expect to be right up among the leaders at Olympia Fields in the open. I am just a bit heavy but | that will come off and I will be down to weight. I ought to do bet

HAGEN WITHDRAWS
 FROM GOLF EVENT
American Being Severely Crid.
 CiZed for Sudden Action

Newcastle. Northern Ireland, May .9.-Pt-Walter Hagen, who was criticized by the British press two years ago for what was regarded as unsportsmanlike conduct, is the center of similar storm in Ireland.
 Hagen suddenly withdrew from the Irish open golf championship, starting today. He explained that he was too tired because of his con. tinental tour to compete. Some golf CTS, seeing an outstanding contender eliminated. rejoiced, but the golfing union of Ireland fumed.
 Alan Kidd. secretary of the union, charged that Hagen had broken faith and violated an agreement to play In tho Irish open provided an exhibition match was arranged for him in Dublin last Saturday. The ex- hibttion match was arranged and Hagen playing with l. Quinn, Dublin professional, lost to two Irish profss- sionals. w. Nolan and W. Holley.
 Hagen, in telegraphing his with drawal. proposed to contribute his share of the proceeds Of the match to any Irish charity the committee might name. The committee how. ever, decided not to accept the money because it considered his &C., ton unsportsmanlike.
 Hagen not only has injured his name as . sportsman here. but in- directly hax hurt the good name of all Americans" Kidd said. Hagen seems to forget that hs not only represents himself but his country as well when he comes abroad. When he makes an arrangement to appear in the Irish open championship and all details are made, including the draw with | partner for him, and then cancels his entry, we resent it."

Speaking of Sports

There isn't any doubt but that Louis (Kid) Kaplan'x manager is arranging busy schedule in his at- tempt to climb back among the con. tenders for the lightweight title. An nluncement is made today that he ? IS signed to meet Phil McGraw, De- troit battler. at White City in Savin Rock on June II. He fights this week in New Haven.
 Frankie O'Brien. Hartford south. paw. meets Al Mello in the East Hartford Velodrome Monday night. This will be the opening battle of the outdoor season in the Capital City and it should be battle by all accounts.
 O"Brien has been working out steadily at Kaplan's training quar- ters in Meriden and he is fast ap- preaching his best fighting condition. Mello will be one Of the toughest opponents he has met in recent fights and will prove q real test for the Capital City mittster.
 New Britain Is evidently & very peaceful community because there is 8 dearth of boxers here. Amateurs are hard in training for m expected outdoor season but until 1t pieases their highnesses at the head Of the Natlonal A. A. L. to pay 8 little at- tention to this sovereign common wealth of Connecticut, there won't be much doing.
 More strongly than ever come the reports and rumors that Connecti- cut amateur fight promoters are planning to conduct tournaments in- dependently of the National A. A, T.. 1T this takes place. there will be no one to blame but the high and mighty officials who have paid scant attention to this state except to oust It from all good standing in anna teur circles.
 We have said before and we re- peat that there isn't a state any where where the same conditions exist as were discovered in Connec. tlcut. All that is needed, is an in- Nesfigation such as was propelled in th.s state. New York, home of Murray Hnrlburt, leading figure in the national body, couldn't, we don't believe, stand the daylight Of | searching investigation any more than Connecticut.
 As ono fan explained to us par- tlcularly the other day "All this amateur stuff in sports ix the old bologna" and we doubt if there is any one who doesn't agree with him.
 We arc in favor Of the amateur promoters signing up their fighters as professionals under the don1ina. ton of ftate Athletic Commissioner Thomas Donohue. There would be no camcnllage then and no need for any The same popular priced shows could be conducted as former ly with little more cost to the pro. motors and under the state regula- lions, it is highly probable that there would be no dofficulty for either the 1 1 or the promoters in getting fights.
 In that way fighters could be de- | Neloped who some day might be counted among the best.

Their work will De done in a land that is still in the grip of sn ice age of comparatively recent origin, a land that died ages age.
 Once Populated
 There is plenty Of evidence, how ever, that Antarotica was once a living continent. Important fos- sil flora indicate the presence of vegetable life, at least, before the coming of the ice; and some scientists have suggested that numerous plants and animals ba gan their northward migration from West Antarctica, the section yield iag these remains, in the forgot- ten time that was the heyday of south polar prosperity.
 For purposes of convenience, seographeTs sometimes divide the continent in two parts-East Ant arctica. which is apparently pla- tean Of he Indo-African type. and West Antarctica, which is folded In fidges The structure of the latter section suggests that the mountains found there may be continuation of tEe Andes. for the peninsula of West Antarctica ex. tends to within 800 miles of the tip of South America, and the rccN formation of that continent may extend beneath the sea to emerge gain in the ranges of Antarctica
 The southern continent is an ire- ridGen plateau whose average elc- yation has been esJl.'.ated at about 1000 feet. It is highest near the South Pole, where the moultains tower to a reported height of 15,000 feet The pole itself is about 10000 feet above sea level.
 "LandsH Parccicd
 Maps of Antarctiea parcel the vast continent into lands" but the nomenclature is rather indef.- nite, since few of these strips of
