Open Golf Windup
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

CLEVELAND, June 8 (N.A.N.A.).-
For more than thousand who filed
entries with the United States Golf
Association, 60-odd remained today
to battle it out for the open golf
championship over the hills and
dales of the Canterbury Golf Club
at Cleveland.
OF that remnant roughly a dozen
could have been conceded chances
to win. For the rest the last two
rounds were mostly a matter of
playing out the string and looking
ahead to another year. For the
handful who still carried a chance
to win these last two rounds were a
stirring adventure.
A glance back over championships
OF other years recalls more than a
few occasions that carried their full
share Of sporting drama, the flush Of
triumph or the dregs of defeat.

Luck Was With Monero
In 1886 Tourney

But not all of the drama of these
open championships takes the form
OF tragedy. There was the sturdy
march of squat. swarthy, smiling
Tony Manero to the heights in 1886.
Tony had squeezed into the fight by
holing chip shot on the last hole
of his qualifying round. He took
to the tee in his last round four
strokes back of Harry Cooper, the
leader, with at least six others no
less favorably placed than himself.
Cooper, an early starter, played
fine golf in protecting his lead, and
looked all over the winner when
he came in with four round total
of 284, two strokes better than the
previous record. Vic Ghezzi, Denny
Shute and Henry Picard, closest in
pursuit, each came to grief.
Paired with Gene Sarazen, an
ideal playing partner, Tony sud-
denly came onto the top of his game
at the right time. His drives split
the middle, his irons were bulls eyes
and his putting blade held pure
magic. He finished with brilliant
81 to win by two strokes.

Six Holes Near Finish
Sink British Vet

Twenty years before Vardon had
come over and won this champion
ship. He even then was in the hey
dey Of his career Now at so he was
back for the third time to make an
other challenge. His game through
the first three rounds was the same
f1aWless performance that marked
him as one of the greatest players
the game has ever produced.
Through the first IL holes on his
last round, he still was the master
artist. But as he drove from the
tee of the long twelfth into the
teeth of brisk wind, he suddenly
began to falter. The Old Boy with
the Scythe was catching up with
him at last
From the second hole in the third
round, through the eleventh hole of
the fourth, he played % consecutive
holes in 108 strokes, four better than
an average of is. With seven holes
to go, he had clear margin of
three strokes. But calamity was rid
ing that wind.
On the next six holes he required
no less than 81 strokes, and he lost
by a single stroke. 1t was his last
serious bid for an important cham
pionship either here or abroad.

Sorozon CoIIed Turn
At Skokie in 1922

There comes back the recollection
OF the brilliant finish with which
Gene Sarazen made good his own
prophecy to win as youngster
shortly past 20 at Skokie in 1922.
The night before the Champion
ship, talking with Bob Jones, Johnny
Farrell and other youngsters, Gene
said, Il have hunch 1 am going to

at the end of 36 holes. I'll probably

He called the turn to the last
detail. Starting the final round four
strokes back of the leader his closing
60 was too hot for the rest to
handle and he won by stroke.
Moving back even a couple of
years earlier, the tragedy of Harry
Vardon still stands as one of the
harshest turns of the closing stages

THE EARL OF CHICAGO"
is OFFERED AT ROYAL

Described as the most unusual
picture of the year, The Earl
of Chicago" opens today at the
Royal theatre for an engagement
of two days. Dramatic story of
Silky Kilmount, Chicago gangster
who becomes an English earl by
inheritance, the picture stars Rob-
ert Montgomery in the most chal-
longing role of his career, an ad-
venture in characterization.
That there is something new and
different in movie plots is evidenc-
ed by the twists this story takes.
Silky is the typical gangster, il
literate but calculating, shrewd,
cold and cruel, who operates a
streamlined liquor business, strict
ly 'legitimate' and government"
but using the gang craftsmanship
methods of prohibition days. Greed
for what he believes is a $40, 000,-
900 inheritance takes Silky to Eng
land.
