HAGEN AND COMPST0N
ARE TO CLASH AGAIN


NEW YORK, July 14.-Walter Ha-
gen. British open golf champion, will
play return 72-hole match July "A
and Is with Archie Compston, the giant
British professional champion. who gave
Ths Haig the worst drubbing ne ever
has experienced In q match in Eng
land last Spring.
The first Sc holes will be played at
the Sandy Burr Country Club at WAY
land. Mass while the second half will
be staged the next day on the West
chester Biltmore links at Rye, N. Y.
Although the financial arrangements
were not made known today. the pro-
fessional stars probably will play for
purse exceeding $4,000.
Badly in need of practice and way
off form. Hagen took an 1s-and-l7-
play whipping from the blonde English
man at Moor Park Just prior to the
British open title play, but came back
to win the open tournament with
score of 292 strokes for the ~ holes.
Hagen finished in a tie for fourth place
in the American open a few weeks
later at Chicago.
Compston was the first golfer in re-
cent years to whip Hagen, considered
the king of match players, in a IL
hole test In Florida two years ago,
the Haig trimmed Bobby Jones, IL and
II. Gene Sarazen, alone of all the
professionals, has beaten him twice
over the long route In the past I'VE
years.

The exhibition match was only part
of the field day of the club, even though
It was the high spot Of the day and
was followed by several score members
and guests. In addition. an all-day ID
hole handicap tourney was played and
was won by Maurice Eiseman with a
score OF a3--2T-66. l. r. Behrend was
second with 89-~22--67, while four 9TH
ers tied for third as follows: s, M.

Watered by the copious rains of
l. the past three days. faced two
sons of Britain today as they
prepared to meet two home club pro-
fessionals at the Indian Spring Golf
Club In the banner exhibition match
Of the year to date about the Capital.
Flushed with success in matches against
local combinations. j. Monro Hunter,
long-hitting Indian Spring giant. and
George Diffenbaugh, the pint-size assist
ant to Hunter, will try conclusions at 2
o'clock this afternoon with Archie
Compston and Aubrey Boomer who
learned the game on the windswept
courses OF England. A gate fee Of 81
is to be charged to witness the match.
Compston comes to Washington fresh
from his first big tournament victory in
this country, with the prestige OF an
overwhelming victory over Walter Hagen
still uppermost in the minds of those
who followed that match last April.
Compston won the Eastern open at
Wolf Hollow, near the Delaware Water
Gap, last Friday, with score of 287-
one under even fours--for the 72-hole
test. His partner, Boomer. lis equally
well known in Britain, although Comp
ston has been the featured British
player this year.
For the first time in his matches
around Washington Hunter will be up
against a pair OF men nearly his equal
In stature and certainly his equal in
the mere matter of clouting golf ball
from the tee. Both Compston and
Boomer are notable iiitters and not
the least interesting part of the match
today will be the clouting contest be-
tween Hunter. Compston and Boomer.
Nor will little George Diffenbaugh be
far behind, for he has captured the
art of the pivot to such an extent that,
even though he weighs little more than
the next minute, he can hold his own
with the longest of the giant hitters
Indian Spring lends itself well to
this contest of mighty driving, for the
fairways are amply wide and not too
copiously trapped to make any of the
quartet forget distance in favor OF ac-
curacy The tee shots, however. will
probably be all carry. for there will be
little roll on the slow course. To say
that Indian Spring is enthusiastic about
the match Is putting the case mildly. for
the victories of Hunter and Diffenbaugh
against local professional combinations
have boosted their stock to the point
where their admirers in the Indian
Spring Club will be satisfied with moth
ing less than triumph over the British
pair
Personally. we hope all four cd the
quartet will hole their puts to see what
they can do from the back tea over
this difficult course. The ofiicial course
