There are many effective golfers who

But tbs value of form and style

There are many fine golfers who
couldn't break 80 If they took
three week layofT. They have to keep
playing to handle a swing, which per-
haps isn't quite orthodox. I'll take
my hat of to this type, because low
scoring with them means hard work
and terrific concentration. They have
certain kinks to watch and they can't
afford to do any loafing at all
Form and style count especially

golfer with a slice of some sort This
may not get him into much trouble
in an easy match. But under pres

worse as tension develops. Faults
soon begin to grow when the pressure
is on-and this has nothing to do
with nerves and courage.

The Tribute TO Hagen.

ID ONnEc Eft, the OiQ nome CITY,
N is throwing party for the
Haig this week that should be
one Of the high spots Of the sporting
year.
Just 81 years ago, Walter Hagen,
an unknown kid, invaded Brookline
for his first shot at championship
golf, and. with only holes left,
had his chance to catch Ouimet, Var
don and Ray, when the rain stopped
his charge r 49,
A year later, 20 years ago this
Summer, the same Hagen became
open golf champion of the United
States at Midlothian, Chicago.
For more than 20 years, Walter
Hagen has been something more than
a great golfer and one Of the greatest
competitors Of all time. His vivid
personality, with his dash, color and
showmanship have made him one of
the headline entries of two decades.
Hagen was a champion long be-
fore Jack Dempsey. Bill Tilden and
Bobby Jones came to the first outer
fringes of fame. He still is capable
of brilliant golf in any championship.
Hagen's ability to concentrate un-
der pressure, to keep the old banner
flying under heavy fire, has held the
respect and the admiration of every
rival he has ever known.
Rochester's tournament tribute this
week. with its parade of champions,
is Just as much a tribute to Hagen
the man as it is to Hagen the win
ner Of IL national crowns. The old
master has written more than his
share of the thrilling history that
belongs to sport.

a of destiny. otherwise the
New York Giants, but neither
has any rival arisen to chal-
lenge their bid for a berth in
the world series again.
Holding q three-game lead over the
Chicago Cubs today, the Giants have
only so more games to play, 26 st
home and "a on the road. A set of Is
battles in the West represents the
only really grueling part OF the clubs
remaining program.
An even break in their last so con-
tests would give the Terrymen 81 VIC
tories. the same total with which they
won the flag last season.
with Carl Hubbell back in shape
and Mel OFT, Terry himself and the
whole team hitting well, the Giants
are reasonably justified In their belief
that they will do much better than
that.
The club owes it's present exalted po-
sition in the standings to a steady,
consistent brand Of ball that neither
the Cubs nor the st. Louis Cardinals
have been able TO match. The Giants
best winning streak OF the year has
been no more than Ave victories in
succession, but they have hit no ex-
tended slumps either.
Tigers Are Favored.

Tigers and the New York Yankees,

Cochrane has been getting great
pitching and terrific hitting right
along. and the clubs fighting spirit
has been one Of the major surprises
OF the campaign. The Tigers lead
the Yankees by one game.
II the Yankees. rated the best club
in the league on paper. fail to win the
flag as predicted in the Spring fore
casts, they can lay the blame squarely
upon their own inability to win in the
West. No Yankee team in recent
years has looked quite so helpless be-
yond the Alleghenies as has the 1894

After yesterdays open date, both
leagues were to resume play today.

physiological observations on the
swoon, fall and syncope in British
pugilism. with special reference to the
action of knee, spine and forehead in
individual cases"
Take the case of Joe Beckett. The
Southampton gypsy was one OF the
most restless fallers of them all. He
employed a jack-knife with half
twist, which broke the shock OF his
descent and brought him down ON his
shoulders. Against Georges Carpenter,
he remained in one place on the floor
and kicked out his legs spasmodically
like gated marlin. Against Frank
Moran, he rolled over and over until

DoMBARDIER WELLS was more

The Bombardier would fall
slowly and majestically, like a giant
redwood, and lie still. The line of his
body on the canvas was as straight
and pure as a doric column. II was
the boast Of his friends that you never
could see daylight between the Bonn
bardier's torso and the floor, no mat
ter how closely you looked.
In contrast to his predecessors, Phil
Scott was fiorid and unorthodox.
Often his collapse did not take the
form of dive at all He would reel
into corner and point finger at his
opponent, or else he would stoop and
clutch his shin, like a Greek warrior
adjusting a loose greaye.
Philip never gave the impression OF
mental suspension, or complete un-
consciousness. In his fight with Jack
Sharkey, branded by British boxing
writers as "a blot on American his

counting and checking carefully on his
fingers each blow struck by his rival
