SARAzEN VICTOR
IN BRITISH OPEN
Breaks Record With 283. Two
Under Jones' 1927 Total.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SANDWICH, England. June 10
Gene Sarazen. long-hitting American
golf star, today won the British Open
golf championship with a record score
of 283 to carry on an American golfng
sweep, in the event unbroken since
1923.
The 1922 American Open champion
scored his 233, two strokes under Bobby
Jones winning total of 1927. early in
the afternoon and then watched those
who had a chance to catch him, fade
away under the pressure of having to
shoot sub-par golf.
Sarazen has been we'll up in the
British Open field for several years,
finishing second to Walter Hagen in
1923 at the neighboring Royal St.
Georges course for his best effort up to
today.
Eleventh American Victory.
1t was the eleventh American victory
in II successive years of the blue rib
bon event of golf, the only break being
Arthur Havers' victory in 1928. when
Hagen finished second
1t was Havers who was the threat to
Sarazen as he shot 68 on his third
round to pull up within four strokes Of
the flying American. The British pro
faltered on his final nine. however,
made the turn in 81 to lose two more
strokes to Gene and when he started
home 4-4-4E5 his last chance was
gone 1t appeared the best he could
possibly do was 70. which would leave
him three strokes behind.
Tommy Armour. the defending cham
pion from Detroit, faded badly on the
final round with his hopes Of victory
gone, and finished with an SO for a
72-hole total of 302.
Beats U. S. Opens Best.
Sarazen's score bettered not only the
British record, but was three strokes
better than the best winning total in
the American open, Charles tChick)
Evans 286 at Minneapolis in 1916.
Macdonald Smith, other member OF
the American big three" had the
heartbreaking experience of scoring a
288 for a total good enough to have
won all but the current British cham
pionship and the 1927 event. Smith,
native Of Carnoustie. Scotland, has
been striving for years to win the
British title and although always up in
the running has always been just a
little of.

SPEEDING
J0BLESS AID BILL
Controversial Relief Propos-
ais Laid Aside and Early
Passage Is Seen.
BY the Associated Press.


For the second time this session. the
Senate today tackled the problem Of
Federal relief for the unemployed, as
the Democratic OoOoo,OOO jobless aid
bill was taken up for debate.
Early approval Of the measure was
forecast by Senate leaders as the pro-
gram has been approved in principle
by President Hoover
Controversial relief proposals were
showed to the background in order that
the emergency relief measure might be
speedily considered and passed.
Unanimous Consent.
The relief bill came up for debate
under unanimous consent on the re-
guest of Senator Wagner Of New York,
chief sponsor.
Senators Watson Of Indiana and
Borah of Idaho, leaders Of the two Re-
publican factions, agreed to its con-
sideration.
Wagner, opening debate on the meas
ure before crowded Senate. said he
expected there would be little discus
now that Federal aid Is necessary.
Since the Costigan-La Toilette bill
was considered" Wagner said, ''condi-
tionS have become more tragic and
more serious and those who opposed
Federal relief then are now convinced
the Government should assume its re-
sponsibility in helping the poor and
needy"
P-oviSions of BilI
The Democratic bill would authorize
the Reconstruction Corporation to ad-
vance $500, ,000. 900 to the States on GER
tification of the Governors that the
money is necessary.
Unless the States arrange for re-
payment of the money 1t would be de-
Quoted from future Federal aid high
way appropriations beginning in 1885
Administration of the funds would be
left entirely to the State Governors.
Distribution Discussed.
When Senator Dill, Democrat, o.
Washington, inquired how cities in neee
of help would receive the relief funds
Wagner replied that would be done
through the State administrations.
Dill said he foresaw difficulties ir
some cases, remarking that Governor
might be unwilling to obligate the Stat'
for the sake of one town"
Wagner said he could not imagine
situation arising where a Governor
would refuse to borrow if real neee
existed anywhere in his State.
Distribution on application Of the
Governors, he said. was the simples
method and preferable to undertaking
direct loans to thousands of cities.
Senator Borah expressed the view
that the funds should be proportionec
on the basis of need rather thar
! population.
Wagner, in reply, pointed to wide
spread suffering and unemployment

the Prince Georges County Commits
sioners yesterday refused to grant per-
mits for the District of Columbia A. A.
U. boxing championships originally
carded for tomorrow and Saturday
nights at the University of Maryland.
The commissioners voting to refuse the
permits declared they considered it a
dangerous precedent to sanction the
bouts, for If this we're done, they could
not consistently bar other boxing
shows
Last week the Maryland attorney
generals Office informed H. c. Byrd,
assistant to the president of the uni
versity, that under the law, permits
would have to be obtained from the
Prince Georges Commissioners and the
State Athletic Commission to hold
either amateur or professional bouts.
This opinion confirmed the advice
given the county commissioners by

| interpreted the law in the same way.
In a letter explaining the univers-

| of Ritchie Stadium for the bouts. Mr.
Byrd yesterday told the commissioners
| high State officials assured him there
was no intention to prevent amateur
bouts when the law was passed.
