Against par or against c living, talking, walking, breathing rival he seems to have all the answers In the British open ct Carnoustie, with the clements doing their worst, he fired final round of n. Against Shute, doing his best, he played 67 holes in 257 strokes. Par for that number of holes at Walton Heath, the scene of battle, is 269.
 No one has eben able to figure out if Cotton is an unintentional or intentional snob. Is he swaggering and aloof because to swagger and to be aloof is part of his natural being and his heritage2 He comes of @ fine English family, was edu- cated at fine public school, and until the depression neceSsitated his seeking 0 trade-was what the Eng fish term e gentleman"
 My guess is that Cotton's High Hat department is part of Q shrewdly conceived publicity scheme. His refusal to speak or min gle with his fellow pros, his icy si- lence while playing, his spectacular arrivals and departures, his tactless remarks concerning the prowess of his rivals, all smack of Q scheme for newspaper prominence. Certian- ly these actions are not natural for Q man of Cotton's background and breeding. A sensitive, finely bred gentleman would not be rude, even to men he considered to be notches below him in social standing.
 He openly admitted when he turned professional that he was go- ing into golf to master it and make money out of 1t. Wisely he under stood that ability, and ability alone, would earn him championships but not money. Not being blessed with e magnetic personality, he apparent. ly decided that he would employ snobbishness to call attention to himself.
 If such was his plan-and feel sure 1t was--it has worked well. Not since Bib Jones and Walter Hagen has a golfer been given such Q tre. mendous play, created SO many dis. cussions. Among golfers and golf followers there are two schools of thought. One school is of the opin- ion that, personally, he Is unbear- able. The other argues that he Is ono of the finest gentlemen ever to grace the game by his presence.
 There is one item. however, on which all hands agree. And that is that Cotton, shot for shot, from tee

 United Press Stan Correspondent,

New oYrk, July IA. (UP)-Pickin' cotton-to pieces.
 Right now that's the favorite 18th hole sport of most of the top-rank- ing golf professionals.
 Because Cotton-Henry Cotton Is riding high, and his fellow pros don't like the way that he looks down from the crest of the wave, Doffs his topper, adjusts the knot of his old school tie and, in the clipped voice of Mayfair, says-ex- actly nothing.
 He has cut them dead, and they resent 1t. They resent his arrival at tournaments in 6 Rolls Royce driven by Q liveried chauffeur. They re- sent his refusal to say more than @ curt "how do you do." They re- sent his intimacy with the lords and ladies of the realm, and the dashing figure he cuts in recog- nized English society
 They resent these things, I am afraid, because Henry Cotton right now is about the best golfer in the world. He recently whipped most of the worthwhile pros in the game in the British open championship, and yesterday he crushed one Of the worlds finest match players Denny Shute of Boston-6 and 5 in Q 72-hole man-to-man battle.

HAWAIIAN STARS .VS THOMAS CLUB
 ARE FEATURED
Buck Lai, Ex-Eastern Leaguer Leads Visitors;
 Girl Pitcher to Play

The first and only night baseball game that will be played in Water bury this year promises to the fans many thrills, and is scheduled for Hamilton Park, Thursday evening, July 22, at 9 p. m. The teams that will compete are the Buck Lai Hawaiian All Stars, who are now on rans-continental tour, to be op- posed by the leading North End Thomas Club of the City Amateur League. This game will be under lights, and as an assurance that the best of lights would be furnished, the same ones that the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Bees per- formed under have been secured. The field will be so brilliantly light- ed by this portable system that 1t Is guaranteed Q newspaper may be read in any section of the park.
 Ex-Eastern Leaguer
 Buck Lai, the coach and manager of the Hawaiians, is well known to Waterburians, through his work with the Bridgeport Bears of the Eastern league, where he toiled as the third baseman for this outfit and proved to be one of the flashiest players ever seen hereabouts. The team that will appear at Hamilton Park, under his guidance is spon- sored by the government of the Hawaiian Islands, and the greatest of stars have been gathered.
 In addition to the great baseball exhibition that this team will pre- sent they will also take part of their workout in "grass-skirts' and here Is an opportunity for the feminine fans to see the latest in this sort of drape, also for added entertain ment there will be real Hula danc- ing, to the accompaniment of gui- tars.
 Last but not least in the matter of added attractions, there will be Miss Jackie Mitchell, the worlds best female pitcher, and the only woman twirler who has ever struck Babe Ruth out. One of the few real baseball players of her sex, she Is under contract to the Washing OOA ftihVkACuh ACuBuV tChHlD " WAS present time.
 Tommles To "Load'
 Bleachers will be re-arranged for this important contest, and manager Harry Melvin of the Tommies will present the strongest team that has ever appeared on 6 diamond bear ing the colors of the Tommies. Mel win Is out to keep his string of vic- tories intact, and towards that end, with no chance of protest being filed, the Tommies may use any player that they desire to win the game, and that Is just what Melvin intends to do.
 On account of the large guar antee given the visiting team and other incidental expenses that will be incurred, there will be on admis- sion price of 26 cents charged for this contest, with only the main gate open, near the dancing pa- vilion. Remember the date and the time and be on hand early as provisions have been made to seat 6 very large crowd, but those who come early will be amused before the start of the game by added at- fractions.

(This Is the longest game played

 Fielder Jones Browns and Bill Carrigan's Red Sox travelled l7 inn- ings without getting & run, the game being called on account Of darkness.
 Ernie Koob pitched sensationally throughout the entire game, Carl Mays keeping pace with him until forced to retire, through injury, in the fiftheenth. Dutch" Leonard pitched the last tko innings.
 The game was largely one of de- fense, being replete with beautiful plays. Repeatedly were the runners of both teams in scoring position, but either the pitchers then tight ened up, or brilliant fielding kept away potential runs.
 st. Louis would have won, had Koob touched third base in the 18th. He came home from second MillerS hit to left, but was tagged out when 1t was detected that he had failed to touch third. It was on this play on Koob at the plate that Mays was injured, whereupon Leonard took up his duties for the remaining two frames.
 NOTE: Only one longer scoreless game has been played in the major leagues. Just 30 longer games have been played in the majors.
