 BATTLE FARRELL
Defending Champion Eliminates
 Hagen in Semi-Final

Los Angeles, Dec tP'-The great conjurcr of tho links. Leo Diegcl, whose swinging clubs, Gs magic Wands, carried him through to triumph over Walter Hagen ycstcr- day, will pitt his skill against the threat of smiling Johnny Farrell to- day in the final match of his pro. fcssional Golfers association tour namcnt.
 Farrell will be seeking his first r. G. A. crown on the trying Hill crest course which saw the cham pionship hopes of both the great Haig and his fellow townsman from Detroit, Al Watrous, lost in the yawning traps and on the treacher- ous greens.
 While the ftful putting of the great Haig had much to do with yesterdays defeat on the 34th green 2 and ,. the fact that rate dealt kindly with Diegel contributed largely to Sir Walters downfall, his second in four r. G. A. meetings with "Larruping Leo" That Diegel was ready to make the best of the breaks, however, cannot be Cenied.
 Hagen watched the inimitable Diegel hole long puts when his own attempts failed by inches.
 This told the story. Hagen's drives were more consistent while the pair tocll turns placing their ap- proach shots close to the pin.
 A lead of one up as they went 10 the eighth tee was smothered by 9. bad six for Hagen when the champions approach, headed for d sandtrap. was de1ected by the heel of one of the 5000 members of the gallery. sending it back into the iairway. Diegcl won the hole with a par four.
 From that moment on to the fin ish, Hagen traiied, although his late rallies on the 22d and 23d and agaln in the closing moments or the match threatened to unnerve his opponent
 Cool and calculating, Hagen step- ped to the 34th tee, two down and three to play after winning the 33d with q birdie three. But a recep- tive sand trap took his iron shot on the short hole and Diegel, sensing victory, laid his ball within five feet Of the pin.
 In winning. Diegcl continued the sub-par game which has marked his entire play of the tourney. Starting off with a 40 to take second honol in the qualifying round, Diegel set a new competitive course record for a 64 medal, five under par the fol- lowing day against Hart. In down. ing Sarazen he medaled Il anf again yesterday made a GS.

Left Guard
 Two teams, one of them with the exact lineup of last season, that battled last year for the 192S-29 professional basketball champion ship of Connecticut, will battle again tonight at the Stanley Arena on Church street. They are the New Britain and Bristol New De parturo quintets.
 Although this is the second meet ing between ,hc two clubs this sea- son, 1t is really the first clash be- tween the two teams that will meet tonight because of the fact that Brstol's roster has been changed.
 Jimmy Collins, forward, and Sam Ttichman, center, both of whom were missing from the Bristol line Up on Thanksgiving night, will be in the game this evening. This will make q whale of q difference in the play of the Bell Towners and will give the New Britain aggregation plenty to think about.
 The team of Picllcn, Collins, Richman, Richtmyer and Water man with the utility men, Malcolm and Carney. is the quintet that placed the Bristol colors at the top of the mast in state circles last year. Whether the quintet can repeat again this season or not, will be bet ter settled after tonights game at the Stanley Arena.
 New Britain will furnish q vastly different five from the one that was seen in action last year but the line up will be ldentically the same, at thc start of the game as it was in the first game this year. Sloman and Zakzewskl will be at the for. wards with Conroy at center and Leary and Foley at guards.
 However, New Britain will have double it's strength through the ad- Gition to tho squad of "Eo" Adams, Fordham flash, who will be held in reserve. Adams has been for ward on the Fordham team for two years and he will be used in that position if he enters the game to- night with one of the starting for wards being shifted to guard. Res tclli will also be ready for service in any position on the team. The game tonight will be preccd- cd by a preliminary between tho 1 Burritts and the Spccdboys of Hart ford. This game will start at s o'clock with the main contest get ing under way about g o'clock. Dancing will follow.

Rubc Goldberg or some other golf humorist said that the easiest shot in golf for him was tho conceded putt. The rules committee does not encourage the practice of making concessions on the green but most golfers of all classes consider it is on the off side of sportsmanship not to give opponents the wee puts.

The gallery in the recent Amateur championship showed its disapprov- al of Dr. Willing when he failed 10 follow this custom in his match with Harrison Johnston. But the Canny dentist knew that the unmissa blc puts can be missed and he was not giving away any of his chances to win the classic amateur event. If play had been stroke instead of match competition. the runncr-up would not have been thus subject to criticism.

HIGH SALARIED
 STARS RELEASED
Celtic Basketball Team Broken Up by Manager Jim Furey

Interest in the announcement that tho high-&alaried stars who graccd thc ro"tcr of the Celtic Professional basketball team of New York, had been released and their places taken by q quintet of youngsters, has caused a stir of interest in this city. Complete information on the matter is contained in the following clipping from the Brooklyn Eagle Standard:
 "Thc greatest wholesale cleanup in the history of an American Bas- ketball League team took place yes terday when Manager Jim Furey of the Celtics sold or released almost every member of his team and re- placed them with another combina- ton of young players.
 Realizing that he would never be able 10 organize a combination that would cquGl the Original Celtics. Furcy decided that he would rebuild entirely.
 The failure of the team was not so much mechanical as it was fi- nancial. Attempts to play at the Gar den were complete Hops and the salary list was, too much even 10 promote successfully at the Jamaica Arena. s-''
 HOlm:n Sold
 Nat Holman. considered the great est player of all time, and Stretch Meehan, Celtic pivot. were sold to Syracuse. Dave Banks was sold to the Fort Wayne Hoosiers with the proviso that Benny Bergman, Fort Wayne star, would De released to Paterson. Johnny Beckman had pre- viously been sold to Cleveland where he had reported Monday.
 Of the remaining players there will be an attempt to retain Bill McElwain and Jack Crimmins, pro- vided they will take salary cuts. It is doubtful therefore. if McElwain will agree, preferring rather to play independent ball in the ncighbor- hood of New Haven where he now conditional releace.
 The team that Furey will send against Paterson in a league contest at the Jamaica Arena Sunday night has yet to be completed, but it is probable that it will contain many members of q team now performing Independently at Union City.
 Most of these players arc well known locally. Those who will prob ably be in the Celtic lineup are Fred knudscn, Bill Bergen, Tony Calland and Harold Johnson. Manager Furcy will probably also use Willie Nc Donald and Jack Crimmns.
 Suffered Loss There were rumorS of trouble in the Celtic camp several weeks ago when the first games were played at the Garden. It is estimated that close to S20,00O was dropped during the first two weeks of the league campaign and the drain became so great upon the promoters that they were unable to meet their payroll last week.
 The sale of these hiGh-priccd stars not only enabled the promoters to get off the nut but will leave a sur plus with which to try to put the | game on a paying basis in Jamaica hereafter. If the CelticG find this | impossible. the team will play as an l independent team for the balance Of | the ceaSon.

Playing ahead of Bobby, Al Espn- osa had negotiated the outgoing nine in even fours-or par golf. He missed par by a stroke on the 10th hole but had a chance for a birdie on the 11th. The ball just overran Hhe cup. It was then "tap-in" hut E,spinosa eXcrted far more than his usual caution and missed it and took a five. That 14-inch putt cost him the championship and the loss was attributed to too much care.

Jones' famous 12 foot putt. late one Saturday afternoon last June, made it possible for him to tic with Espinosa when it looked as if he would lose his chance for another Open title. He was no more than or dinarily careful with that putt.
New Britain herald., 1929-12-07

reversed his usual procedure in put ting at a critical point and, instead of taking deliberate care, undertook to tap the ball into the cup. A four was a foot away but, impossible as it may seem, Hagen did not hit the ball on his first, one handed tap. Nor did the ball sink on his second or third hurried attempt. Nine out of ten times this method of holeing out would prove to be successful but this time it cost the English title holder a seven.
 Probably Dr. Willing was in the gallery and he doubtless felt like pointing out to the golfing world this example of wasted strokes on the green. as justification for any match player to refuse to conccde butts. Stroked most carefully. in the usual way or with abandon. there is many miss on the lip of the cup in store for the hcadlners as well as the duffers, A putt is never sure shot
