bat in the brace of battles in which the
Nationals hope to clinch the annual
series with the AS, the only club that
still has chance to get as good as an
even break with the league leaders.
Cronin also will send to the
pitching peak in the two games
pair of recruit pitchers, the right
handed Ed Chapman and the
left handed Ray Prim.
While Monte Weaver was to start the
game this afternoon, the professor was
to go only five innings. Merely work.

remainder of the fray was to be en-
trusted to Chapman, late of the RocheS-

league debut. He Will start with the
idea Of carrying through.

is not among the world series eligibles.
There was nothing for the Nationals
to do yesterday. but they will not idle
next week while awaiting the three

Wednesday the entire squad will report
at the ball yard for forenoon practice.

 That was discouraging enough, but No. IA was what ruined me.

Naturally the first thing we wanted to be filled in on" when Gene Sarazen got back from the British golfing wars was just how the worlds champion golfer of 1892 happened to take three shots in a bunker for six on one par three hole at St. Andrews and then an eight on par-five hole, losing the British Open title evan so by only one thin shot.
 Gene was not only still willing to talk-and smile-over one of the toughest pair of breaks in his career, but he got out paper and pencil to chart the narrowing de- tails for me.
 T was out in s. got another birdie on the tenth and felt like a million when I hit No. II at St. Andrews on my second round, said Sarazen. My tee shot was pulled a little, just enough to catch the side of a deep, narrow walled sand bunker at the left ap- proach of the green-and then the fun began. The ball was buried in the light, powdery sand. I couldn't use my sand wedge.
 My niblic got the ball out of the sand all right, but it caught the grass at the top and trickled down in again. I made a gesture with my club-mentally trying to help that ball stay up-and that's the thing that started people say ing I had taken another shot four shots, they thought instead of three, which I actually took. Twice the ball rolled back into the same spot before I finally hoisted it onto the green. It was away off to one side and I putted eight feet short, getting that one down for a six!

 But I still had a chance to reach the green, for the lie was not bad. I was sure it would do me no good to play safe. I went for it, the ball failed to clear the top of the bunker, became imbedded and was forced to play back ward to get out.
 T accomplished this all right, but my fifth was barely on and then I took three puts for an eight. Par on the last four holes didn't do me any good then.
 But that's golf. Denny Shute deserved to win, the way he play ed. and I'll be back next year to win both the American and British Open Championships again. Maybe I'll challenge the winner of the world championship match be- tween Johnny Goodman at the Miami Biltmore this winter"
