the probable stake to the winner,
Mickey Walker and Jack Sharkey

mote the fight, late yesterday and
signed contracts for the battle.
Another Champion?
The New York state athletic COM
mission has indicated that it would
recognize the winner as the worlds
heavyweight champion. The New

cause of his failure to defend his

Joe Jacobs and Schmeling also

Schmeling left soon afterwards to
begin his journey back to Germany
while Jacobs told reporters that al
though Schmeling has agreed to
meet Primo Camera sometime in
September. it was possible that the
Sharkey-Walker winner would be
substituted for the giant Italian.
Jacobs said he understood that
Camera may not get the bout be-
cause of his failure to fulfill the
contract he has with Madison
Square Garden.
Prices for the Sharkey- Walker
bout vii lrange from 81 to SIS. 1t
will mark Walkers first big test in
his campaign to add the heavy
weight crown to his list of titles.

Burke played more golf to win
the title than any predecessor. A
tie for the championship at the end
of the stipulated ~ holes of play is
by no means a rarity, and tie de-
veloped this year. But no one, even
for a moment, believed that the play
off over SO holes would end in d tie.
1t did. Yesterday second 36-hole
play-off left George Won Elm trail
ing by one stroke.
Made 1t Interesting.
The close competition between
Won Elm and Burke saved the
championship from being the drab
affair it had promised to become.
This was the first time since the
1920 championship, also on Inver-
ness compact and deceptive course,
that Bobby Jones had not been
competitor. But there was a great
field-SaraZen, Hagen, the Dutras
from the coast, overseas stars,
Diegel, Armour and many another.
The galleries saw some fine golf,
but the fireworks Of fairway and
Green did not go off until Won Elm
sank 10-foot putt on the final
green to tie with Burke for the
championship at 292.
at 149. After ~ holes Won Elm had
a total of $50 strikes and Burke 5S9.
Won on the Greens
Burke won the championship with
his putter. In the final eighteen
holes he had thirty puts agains:
thirty-six for Won Elm.
Several other clubs were in
Burke's bag, however, and one of
them was his No. 2 iron, which
broke the back of the play-off
Burke's deadly approaches on the
first four holes of the final afternoon
round placed him in a most advan-
tageous position.
The Big Shot.
The one best shot of the U. S.
open, 1881, was Burke's second to
the green on the fourth in the final
round.
He drove over a deep gully and
onto an elevated green to lie hole
high no more than eighteen inches
to the left of the pin. Won Elm was
quite unable to cope with shot like
that and from that point on was
never more than even with the
Greenwich pro.
This was the first time Burke had
been in important money in the ma
I1OnAI. he WON LILO SuotoHioiJ
$1,000 for first place and also won
$3.50 extra prize money for the two
day play-off.
Won Elm, as second man, got $3.50
for second place, plus $3.50 for the
extra days.
Personality Strong.
Burke Is a pleasant young chap OF
excellent appearance and manners
who quite made a hit with the tour
nament crowd. Born Burkowsk, n
he now has assured
Of a years income that Will
make him financially safe for life.
This was the first major competl-
ton for Won Elm since he became a
self-styled business mans golfer.
He wanted first place mostly for the
honor, but could have done with the
money too.
Won Elm, blonde, good looking, |
was the second favorite of the gal
lery which watched the play-offs.
For an unexplained reason the
crowd cheered for Burke.
