"WO OF the great olSaSree-erS OF
golf today are in complete
agreement on at least one
phase of the ancient Scottish
game.
Gene Sarazen, tubby little gentle
man farmer from Connecticut, and
Tommy Armour lean-faced Scot from
Edinburgh, have spilled thousands of
words of snarls and Kisses at each
other over the years, but now.
Hit the ball with your hands" said
Tommy many years ago. He always
has stuck to his theory that as the
hands go, so does the clubhead and
consequently the ball.
And now Gene, who always has
been tacit believer in the same thing
(but hasn't publicly expomded it,
says the same thing.
"Ninety-five per cent Of the hitting
Of the golf ball Is done with the
hands" Gene said between vicious
whacks at ball at local depart
ment store show, which drew hun
dreds to see the little Italian-Ameri-
can demonstrate the shots and grips
which have made him famous over
the world.
IF you don't grip the club correctly
you cannot expect to hit 1t right. or
to get it into hitting position. That
is what I mean by hitting with the
hands. And then after you learn to
hit the ball with your hands and you
have attained some degree of mastery
find that the putter is the most i'm
portant club In your bag"
Gene admitted that II he hadn't
taken over the interlocking grip as
caddie around New York 18 years ago
he now would be user of the over
lap, as originated by Harry Vardon.
IT didn't start right" he said, but
I have managed to get along with it
and I can't change now" He said
there have been three great golfers Of
three eras.
"Vardon dominated his era, Hagen
was the master of his time, and then
along came that fellow from Atlanta
Bobby Jones-to dominate the game
for 10 years"
He showed the major differences
between the putting strokes Of Jones
and Hagen and disclosed that he
personally liked the Hagen method of
I,r; =, pi,r the c1,,h-hood hocL o1opu tho
ground.
And then Gene stepped into an
artificial trap and showed how he
makes the bunker shots that have
brought him fame.
I'VE don't fear the bmkers any
more" he said. "No more do we
figure on three strokes to get down
from a trap alongside the green. We
figure on getting it out and holing
the putt"
"How about Oakmont?" we asked
Gene. well, the game has improved
about q shot q round since the last
tournament there in 1927. If the
course was the same, I should say the
boys might get as low as 295. But I
dent think they will. They have
made a terror out of that golf course.
You ought to see the fourth hole.
(And Gene shook his head and
shuddered) Boy, oh, boy. what a
golf course"
TAR be 1t from us to attempt to
prognosticate what may happen
in golf-the most uncertain
sport Of them all-but If the hopes

Omaha After Record.

A1ELLIE FLAG, with her youthful
owner, Warren Wright, holding
to the belief that she would have
proved a stronger contender at the
Downs but for early interference, heads
the beaten Derby delegation. And the
robust daughter of Nellie Morse prob
ably will not lack backing either, for
over this same oval her mother won
the 1924 running of the Preakness.
A victory for Omaha also would
write new page in the annals Of the
famous race, for no sire and son ever
won both the Preakness and the Derby.
For that matter only three horses ever
took both events. Sir Barton completed
the double in 1919 Gallant Fox turned
the trick in 1880 and two years later
Burgo King won both races.
The four other horses which will get
another chance at Omaha are Mrs.
Dodge Sloane's Psychic Bid, Mrs. w. s.
Kilmer's Sun Fairplay, E. r. Bradley's
BoXthorn and Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords'
Commonwealth. The entry of Psychic
Bid came somewhat as a surprise as
