 Loses Course

 Post flew back and forth before finding this little spot on which to land.
 His tentative plans called for taking on light load of fuel here, fly to the hill field two miles away for a heavier load and then take off. He probably will not stop at Fairbanks and will head directly for Edmonton.
 Post said he should have landed at Nome.
 Sees Dozens of Yukons
 Asked whether he saw the Yukon River, Post replied that he saw dozen Yukon Rivers.
 At one time, Post said. he was ready to bail out when he was afraid to have to land in an iso- lated country.
 Post was unable to use his brakes on the short landing field here as it was so bumpy.
 Post is only 4,000 miles from New York and this morning was still in striking distance of 8 record. His elapsed time from New York is 136 hours and 20 minutes. He and Gatty reached Fairbanks on their world flight with elapsed time of 166 hours and 32 minutes.
 On arrival here, Post was 22 hours and g minutes from Kha- borovsk.
 Post was sighted twice over Ruby and once over Panama.
 He circled the field here several times before landing. Crosswinds upset the plane as it landed.

FORMER CHAMPS
WHO WON TITLES
AT CHICAGO BACK
Ex-Kings of Golf H 0pe
Luck Holds in u. S.
Open This Year at North
Shore
BY ART KRENZ
NEA Service Golf Writer


Three former National Open
champions are glad to return to
Chicago for the open championship
this year-Hagen, Sarazen and
Farrell-for each won his first ma
jor title in that district.
When the Open gets under way
June 8, at North Shore Country
Club, near Glenview, Ill, 1t will
| mark the fifth time since the tour
nament was organized in 1894 that
the Chicago district has played host
to the big golf classic. And it will
mean that two former winners,
Hagen and Farrell. are trying to
hit the comeback trail.
Hagen won at Midlothian in
1914. Sarazen, an unknown before
1922, was victorious at Skokie.
Farrell defeated Jones in the play
loft of 1928 at Olympia Fields.
Big Field
When 100 aspirants tee off on
June 8, they will find q course
worthy of the test. Long drives will
be at a premium for the North
Shore club has installed one of the
finest concentrating systems in
the country, at an expense of $110,-
900.
Accuracy with both woods and
irons is essential, for there are IS
yawning traps. Distance is neces-
sary, too, the course measuring
1927 yards, an average Of 3S4
yards yer hole.
Constant play on No 3 has
proved it to be one of the best
holes on the course. 1t is stiffly
trapped entirely in front and to
the right to the full depth of the
green.
The course boasts three of the
toughest finishing holes in the dis
trict. No 16, first of the three, is
only 169 yards in length, but has
an out-of-bounds on the left and
a very small green. The prevailing
wind is against the shot, which
calls for smart calculation of the
carry from the tee.
Having experienced the necessity
of length over the whole course,
players are likely to press off the
18th tee, and may find themselves
out Of bounds on the left or in
the rough to the right. Its length
Is 423 yards with green well
guarded by traps and surrounded
by trees.
The home hole of 437 yards has
very narrow fairway with bad
rough and trees on either side. I'm
less the tee shot is to the left. the
second must carry over double
trapping of the hardest kind.
Take Your Pick
Trying to pick a winner in this
tournament is about as hard as
picking q daily doubles combina-
ton at the race track. There is no
outstanding champion.
Sarazen will be seeking his third
National Open victory. Hagen, near
ing the end of his competitive
career, will try for his second tri-
umph, but he Is always a menace,
as the British golfers will tell you.
AS the day of the tournament
nears, however. think Olin Dutra
is the man I would name as most
likely to win on the strength of
his present form. Watching him at
Fresh Meadows last year was a
pleasure.
