 All this, of course, depends on Gainer coming through his White City bout with Bob Olin tonight On past performances Olin has all the requirements necessary to send Gainer hurtling down the pugilistic trail, but whether he will do SO or not will not be known until tonight In any event, whether Gainer wins or los- es tonight. the consensus Is that he is in for a very storm session.

PAR PARALYZED
 BY BURKE IN IS
 HOLE EXHIBITION
Naugatuck Boy, U. s.
 Open Golf Champ Plays
 Six Under Perfect Fig ures in Match With Golden, Stein, Williams
By TT. N. GREEN

Naugatuck Country Club, July 23-Throughout heat hat must have rivaled the temperature of Toledo, the day he became U. $. open golf champion. Billy Burke, the Frank Merriwell of this little town of rubber and dignified se- lectmen showed the folks from the old hometown just why he Is the nations outstanding linksman this season. In an exhibition best ball foursome, Burke shot sub-par golf, and, teamed with Joe Stein. a Naugatuck boy and present club professional at Lake Placid, N. Y., defeated the team of Johnny Golden of Wee Burn and Jack Wil- Hams of New Haven Country club, up and l to play.
 How He Did It
 An eagle three on the second hole at the start of the match, six birdies and ten pars was in- cluded in the masterly prcsenta- ton of modern golf, by young man who has become it's master in the comparatively short space of eight years. For the par 3S course of nine holes, he shot two 35's, which means he clipped six strokes off old Man Par's Whis- kers in the eighteen holes of play. Burkes driving was the thriller for the majority of the 1000 or more welcomers. though his ap- preaching and putting was some thing to be marveled at. TO gain six birdies, and eagle and a nook of .pars in an IS hole matcn, one must be just about perfect on ap- breaches and single puts. And that's just what Burkey was yes- terday. Stein shot an S2, Golden an 80 and Williams 79. The latter replaced Jimmy Andrews of the Waterbury Country club, who developed pleurisy which prevent ed him from playing. though he was an interested spectator. The Big Kick
 The match was less than fifteen minutes old when Burke thrilled his admirers with a winging eagle on the par second nole' Tie was off the tee with a long. low drive that carried about 225 yards. His second was dozen feet short of the green, after which he mashed a perfect approach lnto ! the cup IOT d Os Whoe ~ ps"J Golden started off by belting the aforementioned MT Par dizzy with birdies on the first two holes. Ar ter that he held his own though the Noroton veteran weakened bit on the second nine, but finished 1 with an 80, four over perfect golf figures for the pretty Naugatuck l course. Both Stein and Williams played consistently, the former counting 40 and AZ while Will Hams finished second heat for the day with a 39.40-7s. three over par.
 Mother, Wife on Hand l Burke was presented with a sil- yer placque by the Naugatuck Golf club and his wife, who followed her champion around the course
 was given a handsome bouquet. Billy's mother saw her son play for the first time and was genu- finely amazed by the ovation given him.
 Upon his arrival at the course.
 Burke was greeted and hand shaken on all sides by men and
 women whom he has known since boyhood. the official greeting be- ing extended by Warden Frank T.
 Green. The U. s. open trophy
 which passed from the possession
 of Bobby Jones to Billy Burke was on exhibition at the club
 house.
