Golfdom' S Greatest
Will Honor Hagen
In Tournament
s., 400 Meet Is Slated
On 18th Anniversary
Of First Title Win
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. "A $5,40O
stream-lined exception to the rule
that there isn't much sentiment in
this era of high-pressure sports
competition will give Chicago the
best golf tournament in its history
within the next three weeks.
On August "a, at the Midlothian
Country Club course, 16 of the top
professionals in the sport will open
four-day best-ball championship.
The field will be the most compact
and smartest ever to play in this
district and should produce spectac-
ular, easily-watched golf.
All of which is the result of a
sentimental gesture toward perhaps
the most colorful, legendary figure
golf ever has known-Walter Hagen.
s5,400 in Prizes Up.
Just Is years ago "the Haig" won
his first National Open champion
ship at Midlothian. Recently friends
OF Hagen and Midlothian Club mem
bers decided 1t would be fitting to
mark the anniversary with a tourna-
ment In his honor-and to show
they weren't just talking they sub
scribed IS, 400 as prize money.
The club also decided to produce
a tournament in which spectators
could see golf at its finest from
start to finsh-without having to
scramble through a huge field con-
sisting of about 80 stars and some
$50 other "also swingers."
Eight two-men teams viii play a
round-robin schedule of 126 holes,
with each team playing every other.
The best ball will be played on each
hole, with the team winning the
most holes in four days play TAX
ing down the sl,l50 first prize.
Hagen, Sarazen to Team.
Hagen will team with the veteran
Gene Sarazen to form the most
colorful entry The gallery no doubt
would like to see the Hagen-Sarazen
team win the event. but this isn't
likely, in view of such combinations
as Ralph Guldahl-Sam Snead, By
ron Nelson-Dick Metz, Henry Picard
Johnny Revolta. DENNY Shute- Ernie
Harrison, Paul Runyan Horton
Smith, Jimmy Thomson Tommy Ar
mour and Ed Dudley-Bill Burke.
Special prizes are up for the team
making the lowest 18-hole score and
the most brides, with eagles to count
as two brides. Professionals gen.
orally like this kind of und-robin
invitational tournament, a type be-
coming more and more popular with
fans, because it gives slow-starting
teams chances to slip into the money
with fast finishes

Mann 10 Wear Same
Old Purple Tights
In Fight Here

When Nathan Mann, interna-

New Haven, enters the ring next
Monday night to trade blows with
Steve Dudas, the Tiger" from Jer-
sey City, at Griffith Stadium, Wash
ington and nearby boxing fans will
see Mann with the same purple
trunks he has worn during the last
five years. They are considerably
battered and worn out, but to
Nathan they mean a lot, for he is
quite superstitious. While his ham
oilers have pleaded with him time
and again to discard these trunks
In favor of new ones, Mann always
has turned deaf ears to their ap-
peals. He believes that he cannot
put up his best fight unless he
wears them.
Mann wore these t1unks that
night in February, 1898, when he
was stopped by Joe Louis, the title
holder, in world championship
match. And he wore them the night
he licked Bob Pastor, who meets
Louis next month in a title bout
and the night he scored his first

Redskins May Boast
Passing Wizard in
Lynn Warren
Unherolded Stetson Ace
Completed 68 Per Cent
Of losses in '38
BY BILL DISMER, Jr,
Star Staf Correspondent.

EN- ROUTE TO SPOKANE, Aug.
4.-Whether they have an unpub-
licized Davey O'Brien in their midst
in the person of Lynn Warren was
the chief topic of discussion among
old and new Redskins as they sped
eastward toward their new train
ing camp today.
Comparable to Slingshot Davey in
both size and record, the guy who
was recommended to the Redskins
as better than Sammy Baugh or
Benny Friedman looks too small for
even Washington high school
eleven. Although about 10 pounds
heavier than T. c. us all-America,
Lynn's slightly greater height makes
him appear far less rugged. After
all, 165 pounds on a 5-foot 10 frame
isn't standard grid size-especially
in the pro league.
Averages 68 Per Cent.
But Warren says he never was
damaged in a college game and
Southern schools grow 'em just as
big as any. Confident without a
trace of cockiness, Warren appears
undaunted over the prospects of
facing such opponents as will be
sent against him by the Giants,
Dodgers, Lions and the rest.
And the newcomer has a ready
answer for those who ask why the
country never heard of his last
years 68 per cent passing efficiency
(15 per cent better than Baugh or
O'Brien ever achieveO. 1t was sim
ply that his alma mater, John B.
Stetson, didn't have a press agent.
In fact, it was not until a friend
handed him a detailed account of
his passes at the end of the year
that he knew what he had averaged.
Thinks He's Heavy Enough.
He claims that most of his passes
are the short, over-the line pitches.
In one game last year he completed
9 out of 10, his best record, while
his aerials set up every Stetson score
in the game in which his team nosed
out Florida, 1914.
Il don't think I'm too light for
the pros" he was saying today. Be
sides, I've gained since last year.
I now weigh l68."

It's Neutrality In '39; It Was
 League In '19
BY BRUCE CATION The Democrat Washington
 COrreSnOndent

Washington, July 28.-They have lived through 20 busy, eventful years since they led the senate's battalion of death" in its fight on Woodrow Wilson's league of nations, and the years have left their mark on both of them. But William E. Borah and Hiram Johnson stand today exactly where they stood two decades ago, making the same kind of fight and, from all present indications, winning the same kind of victory
 Borah was a black-maned, lion- voiced stalwart in 1919, when Woodrow Wilson came back from Paris and offered his country a policy of international co-opera- ton, and Johnson was like him (except for the black mane). They were in their early fifties then, a year apart In age, and at the very height of their powers.
 Today everything is different except for whatever 1t is inside of the heads and hearts of two stout fighters which makes them set up ideals and stick to them.
 TACTICS DIFFER
 TODAY
 The president they fought in 1919 has been in his grave on Mt. St. Albans for IS years and more. The league of nations they fought is moribund. The senators who joined forces with them are gone-waspiSh Jim Reed of Missouri, vindictive Henry Sabot Lodge of Massachu- sets, stout Bob LaFollette of Wis consin. In their places are men who were not in the senate then at all, men whom the public had not heard of-Bennett Clark of Missouri, Gerald Nye of North Da- kota, Arthur Vandenberg of Michi- gan, and another Bob LaFollette.
 The fight itself is different, in way
 In 1919 and 1920 the league and the Versailles treaty were at- tackled from the senate floor, day in and day out, in resounding oratory. This year the attack on the presi- dents foreign policy is less spec tacular. It has produced some ora tory, but 1t has ben more matter of quiet strategy, of off-the-floor organization, of effective work in conference and committee.
 There is less bitterness to it, too. Both Lodge and Reed hated Wood- row Wilson with passionate, flaming hatred. That may not
