Gene Sarazen took the last open
golf championship seriously enough
to 60 in for a rigid curse Of train
ing and dieting for it. He finished
two strokes away. He blames his
golf, not the diet.
Bobby Jones used to be the big
runner-up in these events but since
he has taken to winning them. ]
seem to be always one or two
strokes short" remarked Sarazen.
Bronzed, genial, Sarazen looks
more like a young. successful bust
ness man than a golf professional.
AS a matter Of fact, he is. No other
pro" has kept so conspicuously in
the competitive limelight, gathering
position and substance, without the
lustre Of championship honors.
Sarazen. a caddy 10 years ago, is
now n Of the highest paid pro-
fessionals in the game. He won the
open championship seven years ago
at Chicago, the p. @. "A. title the
same year. The reaction to this
double Gee upset his youthful
balance and his game, for a time,
but there is no more even-tempered
competitor and none more popular
nov than Genial Gene Of Fresh
Meadow.
The secret Of championship play
Is taking 1t easy and playing It
safe" remarked Gene. as we sat In
the grill room. Yet most of US
refuse to do that. I did it for
two rounds at Winged Foot this year
and vas tied for the lead. I started
taking chances then and lost.
But anyone who beats Bobby
Jones is just lucky.
Our open championship now is
the n big event. There's no get
ting away from that. In fact some
body was kidding Hagen up in Mon
treal by ranking the Canadian open
ahead Of the British open.
Why has Hagen been so success
full abroad? TT tell you one big
reason: the gallery: When Hagen
starts out owe there in England or
Scotland, all the gallery that hasn't
gone after Duncan and Mitchell fol-
lows Hagen. This show of interest
would be gratifying to most any
player and 1t acts like a tonic TO
The Haig. He thrives on 1t and
plays his best golf.
Il think Jones benefits from more
than he may be handicapped by his
big galleries in open. For an
experienced competitor. 1t Is natural
to respond to the gallery"
This reaction TO the enthusiasm
of the mob effects most of the big
stars in any line c. sport. No one
loves his crowds more than the
great Babe Ruth. The Bambino
has picked worlds series audiences
for most of his most spectacular
stunts at bat. Tennis galleries have
inspired. although also annoyed Bic
Bill Tilden. The bigger the crowd
the bigger the thrills furnished By
Jack Dempsey.
With all those fans pulling for

 Hand clasking hand they crept from the room and so to the front fof the tavern whence they might peep down at the road.
 A horse cropped the grass before the inn, while immediately below the lattice, wherefrom they peeped, stood the tall, unlovely figure of Jonas Skag.
 Sir Richard peered down, meas ured the distance with his eye and, squeezing through the easement, had vanished before Helen might stay him. She heard hoarse cry, and, looking down, beheld two forms that writhed and twisted. Shrinking from the lattice she cov- cred her face, and in that same mo- ment heard a cheery voice calling her name; so she fled from the room and down the stair out into the soft twilight.

 For now, as they watched this rapidly approaching horseman, he swerved from the road and, with out checking his wild career, came galloping straight at them.

 Then his rider was out of the saddle and next moment the little dingy taproom rang with the sounds of furious combat, a wild uproar that, suddenly subsiding, gave place to silence broken only by a voice that groaned and a voice that gasped.
 If only them white-livered dogs 'adn't run and left mel" walled the grooming voice.

 Well, mate, you've the luck on 't-but if only them lily-souled, lousy"
 But Sir Richard was off and away, riding at furious pace and with sombre eyes watching the gathering dusk, and yet supremely conscious of the lovely face so very near his own, of the silky tresses that tickled his neck, his ear, his cheek with such determin- ed persistence, and of all the warm, soft, yielding, extremely feminine tenderness of her.

 Helen smiled slyly and spoke: "Then-why not do it, Richard and be done?"

PROTEST

Aroused over conditions which
theyr ascribe to the delay of the
Washington Suburban S i ny
Commission in completing the lay
ing of sewer and water mains.
citizens of Berwyn and Branch
vile, Md, are planning a protest
to Maryland State and county au-
thorities over the traffic impasse
which has resulted.
Steam shovels and ditch-diggers
have been left at random along the
highway. which is used by hun
dreds of motorists whose work
brings them to Washington daily.
The loose, soft dirt fill has made
the road almost impossible for
miles at a stretch, detours across
private land have been forced, and,
as the winter progresses. conditions
are coming to the point where all
traffic is threatened with a serious
tie-up, residents say.
None of the townships where con-
ditions are worst has funds with
which to make even temporary re-
pairs to the roads. The Suburban
Sanitary Commission has not been
excavating for more than a month,
but intends to resume work in the
spring. it is understood.

'PAC|F|STS v A R
ON CRUISER
BILL

Capitol Hill was placed under stern
siege today by the mobiEzed forces
of pacifism, internationalism and
anti-Navy groups which are fighting
the cruiser bill.
The invasion was climaxed by one
of the most picturesque bits of lob
bying that has been seen here in
years-Senators and representatives
were button holed, sought in their
sanctums, given individual 'inspira-
ton talks" in the virtue of peace
and the folly of the cruiser measure.
Men and women alike took part in
,,the visit, which was under the SUI
pervision of the Washington Council
on International Relations, and rep
resented many church, internation-
aHst and peace organizations.
Later they will return to their
headquarters in the Hotel Wash
ington to make a report on the re-
suit of their trip. They have pow
erful friends" in both the House and
the Senate, and they hope to be in a
position to say whether they have
won their fight to block the passage
of the cruiser measure.
Senators Brookhart of Iowa and
Nye of North Carolina were among
the speakers at the morning meet
ing, the former presiding. Frederic
A. Delano, of this city; Mrs. Laura
Puffer Morgan, Representative Hull
Hof Illinois. and others also spoke.
The cruiser bill was dissected in
detail, and delegates were given spe-
cific instructions as to it's weak
points, so that they could transmit
the information to the Senators to
whom they were assigned.
