Hagen Sets New
Course Marks
in Scotland

INVERNESS, Scotland, Aug. S.
Walter Hagen is Scotland's idol
today.
In the past four days the
veteran Detriot professional has
set three new course records in
this northernmost part of the
country.
Yesterday the Haig set a new
mark for the historic Inverness
course with an amazing round
of 32-32-64. Denny Shute,
Philadelphia, British Open cham
pion, who is on a transforming
tour with Hagen, scored 35-35-
10. Today they played at North
Berwick.
Hagen scored a IS at Pitpochry
on Thursday and a 64 at Kin.

Those Depression Cigars

It was worth smoking one Of
Griff's depression cigars to find
1t out, because sport writer
can't have too many answers for
the myriad telephone calls for
this information and that. Now
I dare someone to call in and
ask the policy of admission for
children at the park!
But perhaps you never heard
of Griff's depression cigars. He
says he smokes 'em because they
are mild. They are almost flat
about the thickness of a kip
pered herring-but nothing even
approaching the taste of one, of
course, and Griff says they don't
cost much.
However, I have my own sus-
picions about why he smokes
flat cigars.

OPEN SERIES
WITH YANKS
ON MONDAY
By GARRETT WATERS

Dy OtANNG L " "A CN0
Another one of those hectic
weeks faces the Griffmen after
today's final contest of the cur
rent series with the Boston Red
Sox.
To start the ball rolling, Man
ager Cronin and his gang enter
tain the new inspired Philadel
phia AS tomorrow in a single
game at Griffith Stadium.
Then Monday the heat of the
present pennant race reache~
another of it's torrid boiling points.
For Monday, the Griffs open AL
important four-game series witt
the New York Yankees at Nev"
York, which will begin with {.
double-header that very day.
To conclude the week Cronin''
team will visit Boston for threa
days where single games will b
played next Thursday, Friday AMI
Saturday.
Pitching Will Decide
The familiar old war Whoor,
pitching, will decide the fate OF
the Griffs in these battles. If j.
is gotten first place easily will b.
held by the time the team re.
turns home for a one-day stan:s
against the New York Yankee
a week from tomorrow, or AU-
gus 13 to be exact.
Looking over the situation.
there shouldn't be a whole lot of
worry about the pitching as thi
Griff moundsmen with one or tw2'
exceptions, have been turning IL
excellent efforts of late, particr-
larly General Alvin CroWder, Left
Walter Stewart and Earl White
hill.
You couldn't have asked for 2.
better game than that Whic.,
Crowder hurled against the Boz
ton Red Sox Wednesday, Whilo
the efforts of Stewart and White:
hill recently have been satisfac-
tory even though neither hurleH
has been able to finish his las
two games.
This pair of lefthanders hav"
been quite a help to the Grifi
men this year, incidentally, eve,n
though many may not realize it
They've won 81 games between
them, which is almost twice
as many games as that which the
Messrs. Lloyd Brown and Frel
Marberry were able to compile
between them at this time last
year when they were then mem
bers of the Griff guard.
Won 13, Lost 6
Whitehill's complete record To-
the present campaign reads 13 vic
tories as against six loses Will.
Stewards includes eight games
won as against five lost. Two OF
the latter's most important tri
umphS have been against the New
York Yankees while most note
worthy in Whitehills record are
those two Shutout victories he reg
istered over the Chicago White
Sox and Cleveland Indians respec.-
lively when the Griffs we're win
ming out in the sector of the coun
try during June.
Getting to the present, all eyes
will be on the rookie Ed Chapman
today as the Griffs face the Bos-
ton Red Sox in the final game Of
the current series.
The new hurler, if he wins or
even shows that he can pitch in
big league company as we'll as in
minor league surroundings, will
offer the Griffs a certain hope
that he'll be plenty Of help to
them during the remaining months
of the campaign when the going
promises to become even more
heated than at the present mo-
ment.

False Impression
Many football followers, I be-
lieve, have the idea that if a
squad is particularly heavy it will
naturally follow that such a
squad should enjoy a most sue
cessful season. I am inclined to
believe more and more that this
is a false impression. The very
fact that this acknowledged
great football machine, the -Four
Horsemen," averaging only ITO
pounds in weight, went through
a hard schedule without losing
game proves to many of us very
conclusively that poundage is not
all that really counts in the
makeup of football player or a
team.
1 think great football teams are
composed of men with plenty of
natural football poise and this
comes only as a result of age and
experience. A matured group OF
boys in my opinion has more to
do with making a successful foot
ball squad than any other single
factor. and I am comparing foot
ball squads Of today and not

it is also the smallest varsity
squad representing any institution

However, the apparent lack Of
numbers will not hurt G.. WIS

their hearts and souls into their
work. All Of the Colonials have
native football ability and there
isn't a single man who, if he tries

The present group includes better
