AGAIN IN CANADA
Annexes Golf Title for Fourth
Time With Record 274;
Sc on Last Round.
BY BRIAN BELL.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


~ ANAWAKI, Quebec. July 81
" Leo Diegel, who does nothing
~ by halves In golf, won his
i - fourth Canadian open cham
pionship today with as Sensa-
topped or by record equaling SO In
Leo ever employed to win q title.
An amazing 72-hole score Of 274,
topped of by record equalling 66 In
the final round, gave Leo the crown
Armour taking the runner-up place
A hectic struggle marked the final
day in which SO holes closed the COM
petition. Leo led Armour by a stroke
at the start Of the third round, but
when Diegel took II in the third round
and Tommy was around in par 10,
they went to lunch all even.
Even On Nine Holes.
In the afternoon there was nothing
to choose between them for nine
holes, each going out in "a strokes. one
under par. Leo picked up stroke on
the first three starting home. He
bagged two brides while Tommy's best
was one. The champion then began
to draw away and a birdie two at the
short seventeenth left him with chance
to cut four strokes from par by scor-
ing a par four at the home hole. With
machine like precision he reeled of the
four and called 1t days work we'll
done.
No one but Diegel had ever won the
Canadian title three times. He was
home in front in 1924. 1925 and 1928
and made 1t four today. He has never.
however, captured the championship
with such a score as that compiled to-
day. Nor has any one else. Although
the Kanawaki course Is not very long,
1t Is tricky and very tough in spots.
Many Of the best players In the United
States and Canada had their troubles
over it in the last three days.
Practiced in COS.
Dieeel claimed the course for his own
as he saw 1t early in the week. He
played practice rounds In the SOS and
first round par 10, jumping to 81 on
the second attempt. He was only over
par this morning by accident. taking
at the eighteenth when little more
thought would have given him par 4
and par for the round.
Armour. too. took a at the eight
zenith on his final round and 1t seemed
for q moment or two that 1t might be
fatal, but, as 1t turned out. he would
have been no Detter on nau ne saved
the stroke. Macdonald Smith played
two great rounds of golf today to slip
into a tie for third place with Joe
Kirkwood, who was also playing well,
although not so well as the Scot from
Great Neck. Smith breeZed around in
the morning in 81 and had 10 in
the afternoon. Kirkwood scored So and
70. Their total was 284.
1t was a great day for the Smiths.
Horton. after q bad morning round,
scored 81 in the afternoon and got in
the money. a tie for seventh. Gene
Sarazen was another late conner. start
ing the day far back, $50 for SO holes.
The stocky little Long Islander played
a 70 in the morning and SO in the
afternoon to tie for tenth.
Tommy Armour. the runner up, was
never over par. He had three rounds
Of SO and one of 70.

Chick" Evans plays a mighty
sound iron game, especially in pitch
ing. His skill in this respect has
won him many titles. Chick, by the
way, Is the only American to win
both the open and amateur in the
same year. That was in 1916.
His idea on an iron shot is to con-
slider the clubhead ball on the end
Of q piece of string held in his
hands. Chick throws his clubhead
through the ball. OF course he has
a firm grip. as Chicks irons remove
a divot as they 60 through. But the
sense behind his iron shot is the
throw through.
Chick differs from many others in
that he plays his irons from square
stance, rather than an open one.
But good results are obtained in
many ways. Tommy Armour, one Of
the soundest in iron play, used
slightly closed stance.

The only exceptions in which arbitra-
ton would not be allowed are questions
of domestic nature. those involving
a third party, those which might inter-
fere with the traditional attitude of the
United States under the Monroe Doc
trine and obligations of the British En-
pire under the covenant of the League
of Nations
All of the British dominions are
understood to have made their position
known to the foreign office and discus
sions are now taking place to meet their
views and decide upon middle course
which will meet with the dominions' de-
sires and at the same time not destroy
the effectiveness of such a treaty.
Dcminions May Want Direct Pact.
1t is believed possible in some circles
here that both Canada and the Irish
Free State might prefer clause in the
treaty permitting them to negotiate
directly with the United States ques-
tions which only concern them and do
not involve other sections of the British
Empire. 1t is not believed likely, how
ever, that either of these dominions
would refuse to approve the treaty in
the event that such clause was not
inserted
1t has also been suggested that Can
ada and the Free State might negotiate
a separate arbitration treaty with the
United States, leaving the treaty with
Great Britain to cover the Dominions
of Australia. South Africa and New
Zealand. Although diplomatic circles
believe that such separate treaties would
be acceptable to the United States, the
plan has not received much attention.

their discussion with the foreign Office

Definite action by the British gov

The new treaty would replace the

Drafts of treaty similar to that
which the United States had signed
