~ HICAGO, July 9.-Walter Hagen
will be a strong contender in
Y the further open golf cham
pionships of the season. The
Haig found his putting touch reliable
in the climactic moments of the final
round Of the Western open and that
was all he needed Sir Walter has
been getting the ball to the green even
better during the past two seasons than
in the heyday Of his championship
career. But his once deadly putting
touch that had swept the green's of
both North America and Europe failed
him too often.
AS Hagen swept to his fifth Western
open championship at Cleveland last
week it was his putting blade that won
him victory. On the fifteenth green
he rolled one across the slope a good
20 feet for birdie and on the seven
teenth he hooked an 8-footer that had
TO run over ridge for deuce. Those
magnificent puts defeated the brilliant
Olin Dutra. WHO had the misfortune to
be paired with Walter when the old
duke put on one of his famous garrison
finishes.
THE gallery regarded Hagen as only
l. a casual contender for the West
ern. when he started the final
round. When he turned in 35, he still
was behind Dutra and Ed Dudley and
Harry Cooper still were in the running.
AS the play swung into the second nine,
Hagen quickly appreciated that Dutra
was the man he had to beat. That put
him in a position for a hand-to-hand
battle and in a personal duel Haig still
is one of the games most savage op-
ponents.
When Hagen rolled in his long putt
on the fifteenth for 3 and Dutra
missed a 2-footer for his T. grim
smile played on the bronzed face OF
the old warrior He then was only
one stroke behind, with three holes to
60. AS Hagen crossed the road to the
long 6OO-yard sixteenth there was
something of the old-time swagger to
his walk-the same walk the galleries
saw at Hoylake, at Sandwich. at Brae
Burn and a dozen other courses where
he won championships.
The effect was immediate on Dutra,
who, although a veteran professional,
has had little experience in the big
championships of the East. Dutra took
6 on the sixteenth to Hagen's S
and Sir Walter was even with his
rival On the short seventeenth, Hagen
gambled like a champion. Taking a
No. l iron he whacked a low shot to
run with the wind Too strong, 1t
would have raced up the back slope OF
the green; off line it would have landed
in heavy grass But the ball was per-
fectly hit and stopped feet from
the pin. The old Hagen-the cham
pion Hagen-was back. and he knocked
the ball into the cup. Both players
had Is on the home green. but the
championship was finished on the sew
enteenth.
HAGEN has still the Canadian, the
i / Metropolitan and the P. G. A.
championships ON his schedule. As
he played at Cleveland, he might win
all three. His score Of 287 In the winds
at Canterbury was q brilliant perform
ance, but might have been better had
not so many Of his puts drifted away
from the cups. His puts on the If

harbor are steamers whose cargoes
come from Brazil, Chile, the States,
from the countries along the high seas
and the Mediterranean, and so forth.
The town lives its modern life, it is
true, but there is always the stamp Of
its old history all over.
My Early Childhood.
In this little town I was born and
grew up. My father was a carpenter,
prominent in his trade, spiritually and
intellectually full-weight man, but
not very strong from bodily point of
view. So he died fairly young, SO years
old. He was a true believer, and took
me with him when I was a little boy
every Sunday to church.
Every one who remembers his child
hood, knows how frightfully tedious it
was to sit for two hours in church on
a lovely Sunday morning, and to know
that all the other boys were out play
ing. He was in other respects as well
a severe man. The slightest fault
would procure you good thrashing
l am of the opinion that was brought
up in far too hard school.
My mother was, when young, ex-
tremely feet of foot, and even now that
she is so years old, she is very quick
at her work. We have always found
some diff1culty in understanding one
another. For instance, in those days
when had the fad to eat only vege-
tables, there were often words between
US. Nor could she in those days man
age to swallow that I went to take
swim with boy of my own age early
in the Spring among the melting ice.
1 could not stand and only look on,
when others dived under the ice foes.
But otherwise we agreed, and we still
agree very well. Mother has grown
used to see her boy do athletics "like
mad" and she takes his wet clothes
and hangs them up in her kitchen to
dry.
Present Home Life.
1t Is about 80 years since my late
father bought a fiat in a wooden house
at Jarrumiekenkatu (Brakesman street, f,
and we still own the house. To begin
with, we had only one room. kitchen,
bedroom and sitting room all in one.

N TEW YORK, July 9.-Jimmy
M McLarnin, Vancouver well
4 Y terweight, who all through
his career has been re-
garded by many as better man
than the various rulers Of this
division, has delivered a threat to
retire as sort of an ultimatum to
the promoters, who consider his
terms a bit too high.
The Irish welter would be on train
right now speeding West If he didn't
want to see the bout between Kid Choc-
olate and Jackie Berg next Monday
night as well as watch Billy Petrolle
make his assault on Tony Cazoneri's
lightweight title. But after August 8,
when the lightweight crown comes up
for argument. McLarnin, unless his de-
mands are met. intends to go home,
through with the ring forever.
THERE has been talk along these
l. lines before. This time, though,
Jimmy means it, according to Pop
Foster. his manager. Despite the re
ports that he lost quite bit of money
in q real estate development, his bank
roll Is quite sufficient to satisfy his
needs for the rest of his days.
Only one thing prevents his decision
to retire from becoming effective i'm
mediately. And that. strange as it
may seem. is the desire to win the
147-pound championship. McLarnin
never cared much about title, always
said he could make more money when
not weighed down with the caution
that goes with every crown, but now
with the end of his road approaching,
the thoughts of being proclaimed the
retired weIterweight champion become
more attractive every day.
So McLarnin is cunning for match
with Jackie Fields and the only thing
holding up the match is the fact that
Jimmy has no intention of letting the
champion walk off with practically the
entire purse.
According to McLarnin, he is the at
traction in this match, he will put most
of the money into the box Office and
so is deserving of a little better than
the usual shake on terms He's asking
20 per cent, and If he can't get 1t, then
he's all for settling down in the salU-
brious climate of Western Canada and
devoting his time to anything but the
fight game

WOULD OPEN WAY
TO MANY SQUAWKS
Brundage Points TO Failure of
Hahn After Test Was
Waived in 1928.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

OHICAGO, July 9.-Regard-
less of the reasons ad-
vanced for making con-
cessions to some of Amer
ica's super-athletes, such as big
Ben Eastman, the prospects point
to considerable verbal warfare be-
fore the Stanford runner or any
other Olympic aces are granted
exemption from the final track
and field tryOuts, booked for PaIo
Alto July 1916.
In an interview today with the AS
sociated Press, Avery Brundage, presl-
dent of the American Olympic Com
rnittee. indicated he expected strong
opposition to the suggestion that East
man be exempted from qualifying for
the 80O-meter run and required TO
try out only for the 400 meters.
II have no doubt there are good
reasons for exempting Eastman, as /
understand lawson Robertson has
recommended" Brandage said. The
records conclusively show the stan
ford star is in a class by mmselI
at the half-mile distance, or Its equiv
alent. but the American Olympic Com
n1ittee has adopted the tryout system
as a definite policy. foresee all Klnos
of dispute and difficulty II we MAKE
exceptions"
nREsIDENT BRUNDAGE, disclosed
that. in addition to Eastman, Y
has been urged Frank Wykotr,
Southern California sprinter. be ex-
empted from the tryouts and that JIM

ineluded in the decathlon squad Pc
cause of his inability to compete IN The
anal tryouts in Chicago. Stewart was
a Y,lace-winner in the 1928 decatnlon
at Amsterdam. Wykoff, intercollegiate
champion. also is veteran Oh the last
American Olympic team.
"If we started to make exceptions
where would we stop, without CONSIDER
ing ali justifiable claims? asKeo
Brundage. "In every section OF tne
country there are outstanding stars,
How can we say we Will exempt SoAi4e
and not others?"
Precedent for exempting Eastman
was established four years ago py the
action of the American Committee IN
naming LLOYD Hahn of Nebraska Tor
both the 300 and 500 meter runs, al
though not requiring him to quanny
for the longer race.
ssDUT what happened?" Brundage
ID asked. Hahn failed to place in
the ! 500 at all and 1t was a
long time before we heard the last OF
that from friends of Oryal Martin OF

If il doesn't favor certain stars and

Brundage regards the talk OF over
working some of the outstanding Amerl-
can OLYMPIC candidates as so much
s'uoppycock." Most Of them, he as
serted. need all the work they can get

Only eight years ago we added one other
room. We have all modern comforts
SUFFICIENT for us, but We do without the
telephone. But we have something for
which the dwellers in the large cities
long in vain; our windows to the south
open on an open space with trees and
birds singing.
We often have athletes and others
calling at our home, when they are on
their way through the town. They have
probably been disappointed. The street
is very quiet. There are no people NOV
ing about, a solitary cat may stray along
with careful steps. The yards all around
are very tidy, and the whole surround
ing simply shines of cleanliness, the like
of which one would search for in vain
in American towns. Entering by the
gate, you come to an open place some
150x200 yards, surrounded by gardens.
If stranger should happen to come
there is the Summer he would be sur
prised. The place Is so peaceful and
lovely.
What Stranger Sees.
On the last door of the long building

opened to strangers The visitor will
get a cup of coffee, and he will be able
to talk with us. But he will not get
any photograph; that is also my moth
er's opinion.
In the last years have tried to induce
mother and my sisters to move into
more comfortable quarters. But they
have not been willing so we will remain
in the old hcrlc. The house is very
quiet now that my brother no longer
boxes. At one time he was so keen on
his athletic form that he filed up our
little room completely. l had hoped he
would have had an exceptionally fine
career, but he did not succeed. He Is
first class both physically and mentally,
but he lacks the necessary interest and
fancy. And therefore he remains un-
known.
