 OPEN BOSS 10 TOT CHOICE OF BETTERS
Gene Sarazen at Tops While Sentiment Sup-
 ports Jones, Burke
BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports EditOrl

Augusta, Ga, April 4 = (UP) = Gene sarazen was a 6 to favorite and Bobby Jones a sentimental runner-up at to today as Amer ica's greatest golf stars teed off in the Augusta National Golf tourna. ment.
 Rater strictly on form in prac- tice rounds the money placed on Sarazen is legitimate investment. Tho Jones money placed on Sara zen is a legitimate investment. The Jones money is gesture of love for the finest golfer the world has ever known.
 Bobby himseSr and o. B. Keeler. his alter ego, don't give MT Jones more than the remotest, outside chance of winning. It's true that Bobby, particularly because he is playing with the defending cham pion, Horton Smith of Chicago. will carry the bulk of the large galleries, just as he Is riding with flock of betting dollars. But Jones isn't hitting the way he did in 1880, his year of golfdom's only grand slam.
 Getting Mellow
 Jones, according to those who know him best, including Bobby himself, needs something in the way of well-directed boot in the plus fours if he is to go places. Bob says he simply can't arouse him. self to the "scrappy surliness ] used to have when was a win ner." His butter, even in practice rounds and in yesterdays informal scotch foursomes, played him false.
 Sarazen, meantime, has been playing spectacularly, even after discounting the brilliance often at' tributed to practice rounds.
 Following Sarazen and Jones there are seven aces listed at 1O-l. They are Olin Dutra, Los Angeles, National Open champion; Lawson Little, San Francisco, holder of the American and British fmateur titles; Horton Smith, who won an aggregate of 2S4 last year, but who has played poorly in practice; Harry Cooper, Chicago; Henry Pi- card. Hershey, Pa; Johnny Revol. ta, Milwaukee, and Paul Runyan, White Plains, N. Y.
 Burke Listed
 ky Laffoon, Chicago, is the only 11-to- l shot, Four are held at 12-to-1. They are Jimmy Thomp- son, the long distance driver from Long Beach, Cal; Tommy Armour, Chicago, winner at least once of all major pro tournaments; Billy Burke, Cleveland, who captured the U. s. open crown at inverness in 1881, and Wiffy Cox, veteran campaigner from Brooklyn's Dyker Beach layout.
 A small fortune is riding on the on the Augusta national.
 Bookies have reported heavy flood of money, principally from northerners who have stopped here enroute home from Florida holi- days. There's also huge "Cal- cutta poop' on which some 2,00O chances at $5 each have been sold.
 The tourney itself carries $5,0OO. with $1,O00 as top prize money.

RELAY TEAM MAY AID CUNNINGHAM
 SET NEW RECORD
New Outdoor Mark For Mile Anticipated By
 Sponsors

Lawrence, Kan.-UP)-- Glenn Cunningham, who has far out distanced all competitors at the mile this winter, is going to be paced by a relay team when he runs special mile at the Kansas Relays this Spring and track fol- lowers believe a new outdoor rec- ord may result.
 Dr. F. C. Allen, director of ath. letics at the University of Kansas, has arranged the unusual race, and Cunningham and Harold Manning and Glenn Dawson, the entries, have agreed.
 The relay runner will give the milers a handicap, for under pr. Allan's plan they will run at the outside edge of the track, leaving the inside lanes for the milers. This means a difference of 125.6 yards which the four quarter milers will have to travel.
 Gene Venzke and Bill Bonthron. who furnished what competition they could for Cunningham at the Eastern indoor meets last winter. will not enter. Bonthron cannot get away, because of business, he informed D. Allen, and Venzke wants to give all of his time ot the Penn Relays.

HARRY CRIMSON

Sarasota, Fla, April 3.-Ed Bar- row, business manager of the New York Yankees, confesses that he is kicking himself in the pants.
 Very proud of his reputation as a picker of baseball talent, he makes the admission in rating William M. Werber the eighth best ball player in the American League.
 Barrow, who speaks after 45 years of experience, lists only LoI Gehrig, Jimmy Foxx, Mickey Cochrane, Charley Gehringer, Al Simmons, Joe Cronin, and Ben Chapman ahead of the third base man of the Boston Red Sox.
 When the Yankees sold Pitcher George Pipgras to the Red Sox for $50,000 in May, 1883, they tossed in Werber as extra meas ure.
 They could have tossed in any one of three other young infielders just as well, but Lyn Lary repre- sented an outlay of $85,000; Frank Crosetti $75,000; and Jack Saltzgave $55,000. Officials deemed 1t wise to give this costly talent longer trial.
 Werber cost no more than what 1t takes to finance a young man through college. The New York club saw the Berwyn, Md, lad through Duke University, where he starred in baseball under the veteran Jack Coombs, and was an An-Southern guard in basketball. Hot Corner His Forte
 Werber was miscast at short stop, and it was not until well after the start of last season that he found himself at third base. Then it quickly developed that the Yankees, in getting rid of him, were guilty of the most pro- nounced boner since Fred Merkle failed to touch second base.
 Werber was the most improved player in the American League last season. He hit 1921 and stole 40 bases to lead both major leagues by an even dozen.
 Werber Is the intellectual type, and another reason for tho Yan. kees disposing of him was the fact that he was something of q clubhouse anarchist. He is very much alive to the rights of man.
 He studies law on the side, and says he would not have played ball at all had not marriage forced him to so he could make both ends meet. He is motion picture bug, and his hero Is not bal player, but Frank Buck, of Bring Elm Back Alive" renown.
 Werber is one of the best base runners since the immortal Ty Cobb. A story of George Moriar- ty, the umpire, best illustrates the collegian's amazing ability along this line.
 Moriarty was in Boston last fall completing the American League picture, "Play Ball." when, in the presence of Werber, he related how Cobb was the only man he ever saw steal second base on a base on balls.
 No Sooner Said Than Done
 "Werber duplicated the feat for perhaps the first time that same afternoon" smiles Moriarty, "and
