By PAUL NICHOLSON,

~ HWAUKEE, Wis, August 8.
M -Olin Dutra, the strap
lVl ping Caballero from Cali
fornia, was the defending
champ and the marked man, but
Gene Sarazen was the hero of the
hour as 100 marksmen of the fair
ways opened a weeks battle for
the national professional golf
championship at Blue Mound
today.
Gene, making a late but dramatic
entry, had saved the day for the field
just when Milwaukee Tournament
sponsors, angered at the loss of sew
eyal Ryder Cup stars, threatened to
withdraw the guarantee fund of $4,000
and force the players to play for the
gate only.
As player after player finished his
final practice round over the champion
ship layout yesterday and Sarazen failed
to show up. local tournament boosters
grew apprehensive lest the former
American and British Open champion
would walk out on the tournament.
Just as the fears and threats of with
drawing the money guarantee were at
their highest a cheer went up. Into the
club house strobe Sarazen, not only
ready for action. but confident of beat
ing Dutra and the rest of the profess
Slonal contenders for the crown.
"A THOUGH three members of the
~ Ryder Cup team-Walter Hagen,
Danny Shute and Craig Wood
were absent, a sizzling battle was in
prospect tOday as the field opened an
assault for the 81 positions in the match
play bracket.
Sarazen, who demonstrated in the
British Open that he was near the
peak of his famed game. stood out as
one man to beat. but there were at
least a score of serious contenderS. in
cluding Dutra and five other Ryder Cup
playerS-Billie Burke. Paul Runyan,
