Amazing Patty Plays
Dorothy Kirby for
Western Crown
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 2.-Five years ago
Patty Berg, as the teen-age wonder,
added an amazing crescendo to her
golfing record with the manipulated
trick Of winning the National ANA
teur, the Western Open and the
Western Amateur-an on Chicago
courses.
Today the sturdy Minneapolis
campaigner-her flaming red hair
and freckles as pronounced as ever
attempts to climax one OF sport s
most sensational comebacks by
again taking the Western Open.
She meets an old rival, Dorothy
Kirby, the 23-year-old sportswriter
from Atlanta, Ga. whose name
jumped to the front in 1889 when
she was runnerup in the National,
winner of the women's Western
medal derby" and a champion OF
the winter tournament through
Florida.
Clashed Last in 1889.
The last time the two met was In
1889 on the Florida winter swing
They were matched in two tourna-
ments, Patty winning the first, Miss
Kirby the second.
Their match today comes at an
opportune moment, for each prob
ably is playing her best golf in some
time-Patty's bid being little more
sensational in viewsof her return tc
competition after an 18-month en-
forced layof1 from golf because OF
injuries suffered in an automobile
accident.
In eliminating some of the coun-
try's outstanding stars this week
both sharpshooters have steered
close to par.
Miss Kirby Has Best Round.
Miss Kirby. however. moves into
today's scheduled 36-hole title match
with the record of shooting the
lowest round of the meet.
Yesterday she had 2 under par

quired to 60 before beating Dorothy

NEW YORK, July 2.-It has been
q long time since COLTS You're
a bum" version of Cobb and Ruth
had an explosion, so Sir Walter
Hagen lit the fuse today with a
challenge to Gene Sarazen to tangle
with him in the wartime variety
of the Ryder Cup matches next
month
These are the War Relief matches
which took the place OF the lnter-
national shot making four years ago
and Sir Walter, after three years as
a non-playlng captain, again mas
been bitten by the bug and wants
some action So he proposes that as
head man of the Hagen Au-Stars,' -
he and Sarazen of the "Cuppers"
should be paired off in the matches.
Now, if Gene gives the green light to
this idea, it would provide the De-
troit doings August 7-8 with hot
foot routine guaranteed for a laugh
a minute 1t always is.
In the 20 years these two have
been around, they've positively
laid 'em in the aisles It's been II
years since Sir Walter and the
Squire Of Connecticut fired shots at
each other-but since then they've
been firing Just about everything
else Now, don't get the wrong idea
Off the links. they're as palsy -Walsy
as ham and eggs. But in any golf
fuss It's strictly every man tor
himself"
Feuding Pals Since 1922.
They've been working out on each
other ever since Sarazen came along
as cockv kid of 20 to take the 1922
open crown from the High and
Mighty Haig. And around the 10Th
hole at clubs all over the country,
when the ice is in the glass, the boys
still sit and tell the stories.
There was the 1888 open, for in

thought Hagen would do.
"Hagen?" Gene asked. why,
they don't have rocking chairs IN
golf any more How can Hagen VIM"
Gene had one of his worst tourna-
ments, while The Haig, firing last
round g. challenged for the top.
And as Sarazen, stumbling along as
best he could. reached the ninth
green OF his final round. little
caddle, carrying small rocking
chair, same up to him.
Mr.. Sarazen." he announced,
calmly, setting 1.-The chair on the
grass, "Mr. Hagen sent this out. He
thought you might need 1t,
The first time they met up in
competition was in the final of the
PGA championship back in %
where Gene finished in front on the
38th green.
Hagen Has Waited for Chance.
When he hit his tee shot on the
second hole it sliced far off to the
side. Even Sarazen thought it was
out OF bounds. so he played another
ball. However, as they walked down
the fairway. Gene came upon his
first ball. He, himself. was aston
ished. So you can imagine how The
Haig felt
Say asked Walter, have you
got some one out there throwing
those things back in for you?'
Twice after that-in 1925 and %
they met in challenge matches,
playing for purses and they split
these two. They almost got together
again in the Ryder matches two
years ago, when Sarazen challenged
Sir Walter, then turned thumbs
down on the idea with the crack
that Walter is only a nonplaying
captain; I don't want to take ad-
vantage of him."
That did it. Hagen has been look
ing for the spot ever since and now
he thinks he has it. No matter what
Happens, it's going to be fun.

Condini Merely Unbeuten

won seven consecutive games, hasn't
suffered defeat and was stripped
of an eighth successive triumph
through the medium of~sour relief
pitching He's the leagues leading
pitcher, but he won't be performing

American League managers could
have placed the names of the
leagues pitchers in hat, reached
in and come up with better choice
than Leonard. Among the names
they might have grabbed could have
been Candini, Jess Flores of the
Athletics, Early Wynn of the Mats
or Orval Grove of the White Sox.
Outfielder Oris Hockett of the In
dians has cause for complaint. He
is batting 1886. second best in the
league. He also has accumulated
more hits than anybody in the
league with the exception of Dick
Wakefield of the Tigers, who wasn't
chosen either.
Johnny Lindell of the Yankees
and Wakefield are supposed to have
tied for the sixth outfeld BERTH
which gave Mccarthy the privilege
OF taking his choice between them.
He selected Lindell and the correct

vote for the players they want to
see in action.
That was the way it originated in

command and decided they'd run it

If they choose to remain hard
