n n IANI, Fla, March 16.-Seldom

wv classics In Florida have the
4 i wise men OF the East, West.
North and South arrived at
such unanimity Of opinion on the IA
vorite as in the case OF the $4,000 La
gorce tournament. which gets under
way at Miami Beach next Sunday.
With enough gold-hunting Scotchmen
on the scene to make the treasure
chase thoroughly representative of a
who's Who" in golfdom, these wise
men Of the links are making Gene
Sarazcn a long-odds favorite on the
books OF the Winter colOnists.
Believe In winning Streak"
"And why?" some doubling friend or
admirer OF Sir Thomas Armour or Wee
Bobby Cruickshank might inquire. The
answer Is that your golf fan believes
only in immediate past performances
and "the winning streak" SaraZen Is
amply endowed with both these pre-
requisites
BY staying at home and. tending
strictly to business, Sarazen has won
four major tournaments this Winter
and enough special matches to pay off
the mortgage on the old homestead, II
he had one. Coming back to repeat his
performance of last year, he won the
Miami open and the Miami Beach open
and then sailed away across the gulf
stream and rum row to lead a smart
field home in the $4,000 Nassau P. G. A.
tournament.
Sarazen's latest triumph was in the
international four-ball where he paired
with Johnny Farrell, his runner up at
Nassau, against Armour. the national
champion. and Cruickshank.
Ranking we'll up in the list of favor

is very much back on the game that
made him one of the most consistent
performers half n decade back. If he
keeps I'D his present gait he will move
along with the topnotchers who have
taken the place he vacated two or three
years ago. when he appeared to have
lost his interest in tournament play, at
about the same time his brilliant son
Roland began making a national golf
niche for himself.
And to make matters more intricate
the Middle Atlantic championship final
of 1923, when Albert won the title on
the nineteenth hole from Roland. was
renewed in friendly fashion few days
ago at Columbia. with the same Vcr-
dict--in favor OF the daddy OF the
young Walker Cup star, but by far
more decisive margin.
Roland has been in washington for
a few days. home from his studies at
Brown University. and has been tuning
up his game for the big events to come.
He found his dad in fine fettle and
primed for him. All Daddy Mackenzie
did against the son who reached the
semi-final in the national last year was
TO shoot IL over Columbia's stih
test, leaving Roland faltering far IN
the rear under an avalanche Of pars
and brides.
That's the sort Of pace Albert Mac
Kenzie is setting And II he tan play
such golf over the slow courses Of early
Spring, what can be expected OF him
when the courses dry out? For the
elder Mackenzie has never been known
as long hitter. while Roland is one
of the sluggers OF golf. Albert depends
upon accuracy and consistency and not
upon distance. And his putting is
something pretty to watch. with its
fine rhythm and touch. In the Older
days of tournaments around Washing
ton Albert MacKenzie's putting was a
by-word. and so it seems in fair way
to be this year.
