piled to half his irons.
His putter is a disreputable looking
affair, which he has loaded in several

sand iron is one of the most widely
used f1anged niblics while he has a
pitching wedge that is built much ike
the trap iron except that it has a
different lie.
Other professionals may scof
at Sarazens ideas about the

ahead of all of them and that's
the best answer.

Public Links Stars Among 40

dallying and wasted time in
i the forthcoming Uptown"
championship to start next
Monday over the Rock Creek Park
course, third of a series of big
tournaments held this year over
the rolling layout in the hills near
Sixteenth street.
Harry Graham, manager at Rock
Greek, announcks that although there
will be flights enough to take care OF
all entrants, the first 16 will be played
off in regular tournament style, with
out the lengthy wait between rounds
that marked the recent municipal title
chase.
In other words, the first flight
matches must be played off in success
sive days and will not be postponed.
The same system will apply for the
matches in the other flights in so far
as possible.
TOHN CONNELLY winner of the in
initial big tourney staged at Rock

trant So is Harlan WILL the tall. slim
youngster who won the municipal title
in a heated final round with Claude
Rippy recently. Rippy has not yet en-
iturn North Carolinian will be in there
when the firing starts on Monday.
Entries are to close Saturday with
Harry Graham, and already the entry
list totals more than 40 names.
In addition to those mentioned, the
list includes Paul HeSton, we'll known
tennis professional, who is becoming
quite a golfer; John M. Baer, medalist
in the Rock Creek Park division of the
municipal championship; Andrew Oil
veri, who beat Connolly in the public
links championship; Harry F. Saunders,
famed both as a golfer and master
at the art of horseshoe pitching; Rob-

Is to be charged.
Those "oily boids" at Rock
Greek are nearing the final round
in their August joust. Bonney
already has reached the final in
the upper bracket and will meet
the winner of the Meaney-
Weaver match.
ONLY two women from the entire
Middle Atlantic section are en-
tered in the national champion
ship, scheduled to start at EXmoor next
Monday. They are Mrs. J. Marvin
Haynes of Columbia, Middle Atlantic
and District champion, and Mrs. Jerome
Sloman, star golfer of the Baltimore
Suburban Club. Mrs. Haynes is paired
to play at 910 with Mrs. w. B. Cam
eron of Ann Arbor, Mich, while Mrs.
Sloman will play with Elizabeth Duns-
comb of Memphis, Tenn, at 1:25.
The usually accurate Herb Crafts,
who is handling the publicity for the
tourney, pulls bloomer in his latest
effusion on the coming tourney. Detail
ing the extra-hole matches that have
enlivened championships in recent
years, Herb says the longest match in
the mems amateur was that in which
George Won Elm beat Roland Mac
Kenzie at Merton in 1924 on the
thirty-seventh hole Gin a first-round
match that was scheduled for 16 holes"
Herb isn't far wrong, for the match was
slated for 36 holes and Roland, after
being 8 down with II to go, squared
with Won Elm and lost on the thirty
seventh only because he made too bold
q bid for birdie.

Saws What He Thinks.

CARAZEN is free with his criti-
- cisms of some of the big wigs
and idols of golf and with
some of it's traditions. He may
not be in the best of taste but
when he believes in a thing. he
says so, which is a bit refreshing
at any time.
Galleries often are hostile to Sarazen,
believing him grouchy and snooty be-
cause he seldom smiles or jokes with
the spectators during a championship.

 In Paris they think of him as a home town boy. In Berlin, they do likewise, for he's been a star in Europe for nine years. But the joke of 1t is that Albert is an American. However, his triumphs abroad have kept him out of his native land so long that he has be- come almost an integral part of the Continental amusement scene.
 But now Albert, Powell is back as star of The Greatest Show on Earth, one of the eight hundred Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey performing rnotables, and he is already the sensation in America that he has been on the other side. Watch him high over the seven rings and stages. He'll freeze, the marrow in your bones. He'll give you the thrill of a lifetime. and you'll like 1t.
