SARAZEN WINS POINT IN RYDER PLAY
Four-BaI Replaces Scotch Foursomes
By NJ. r. DRUKENBROD

AS a concession to the specta-
tors-and Gene SaraZen. in case
YOU haven't forgotten the contro-
versy he caused a year ago-four-
ball matches will replace the So
called Scotch or two-ball four
somes as part OF the Ryder Cup
match here. July 1873.
This decision was announced
by Freddy Corcoran,
PEA tournament manager, follow
ing conference with Walter
Hagen. who will captain the Chal-
lengers. and j. Russell Gnau.
Sarazen made the same proposal
before last summers match at
Detroit Golf Club. pointing out
that alternate stroke play by part
ners wouldn't be as popular with
spectators as the four-ball style.
His suggestion was ruled out on
the grounds that rules for the
Ryder Cup required Scotch four
Somes.
Sarazen. who by the way has
been elevated 10 the CupperS after
playing with the Challengers in
the TWO previous matches. natur-
ally will be delighted 10 know that
his plan finally has been adopted
