“cocky” or strutting, although his manner is receiving. Hagen is in no way conceited. He can take the breaks better than any other golfer. He never complains, and his motto is “play the ball where it lies.” Hagen has won many tournaments where it looked as if he were out of the running because he had the patience to wait for the breaks. He never tries to force things. When it comes to a pinch “Hagen” is at his best. You can never tell what he will do. The new champion always uses a steel putter. He strokes the ball
champion always uses a steel putter. He strokes the ball very evenly and very deliberately, taking the club head back on a straight line. In addressing the ball he uses a fairly open stance, with the weight of the body on the left foot. He never hurries his putt or fidgets about. Everything with Hagen is even, deliberate and methodical. As a shot-maker Hagen is probably not Duncan’s equal. In wooden play he is surpassed by Sarazen. But in the matter of putting, in all-around ability and in temperament as well as in past performances he is in a class
well as in past performances he is in a class by himself. He is as good in match play as he is in medal play. “Genial” Gene is the only man who ever outfought Hagen. He did that a year ago in the final round of the American Professional Golfers' Championship when he defeated Walter in 38 holes of the most exciting golf ever witnessed in the Metropolitan section. Hagen was born in Rochester, N.Y., thirty-two years ago. BOTTOMLEY IS HURT AS ST. LOUIS WINS STANDING OF THE CLUBS. National League. w, L. Pc. w. L. Pc. New York 48

the St. Louis team, which is tagging along at the bottom of the list, gave the haughty Chicago outfit a woeful beating, 15 to 3. Stuart, who toed the pill for the Cardinals, held the men from the stockyards down pretty evenly, but his teammates smashed out 20 safe hits from the Chicago pitcher until the hitting sounded something like machine-gun fire. Jim Bottomley, first baseman on the St. Louis team, collided with the grandstand when running after a foul and smashed a couple of teeth. SPÔRTORIALS The Passing of Johnny Dundee It looks as if it were about time
Johnny Dundee It looks as if it were about time to ring down the curtain on the pugilistic career of Johnny Dundee; it seems to be near the inevitable eclipse. The remarkable little Italian, who fought nearly a decade before entering the championship class, at a time when most boxers are thinking about retirement, found himself in the possession of two ring titles. Now he is confronted with the most unpleasant knowledge that he will soon be minus both. Already he has dropped one, and any ordinary student of the industry that produces tin ears and broken noses, realizes that
industry that produces tin ears and broken noses, realizes that he will be forced to relinquish the other—the featherweight title—just as soon as he steps into the ring to defend it. The Scotch Wop’s downfall does not come unexpectedly. On the contrary, it has been anticipated for years. The remarkable thing is the fact that he has held on so long. Years ago the wizened ones said that Johnny was through—finished for all time. It was said at least five years ago that Dundee, or Joseph Corra as he was first called by his parents before he became an adept
first called by his parents before he became an adept with his mitts, had fought so many times that he was slightly off balance mentally. But the little phenomenon continued, and strange to relate, he seemed to improve in the last few years. As far back as 1914 he was fighting such top-notchers as Willie Ritchie—then lightweight champion—and Johnny Kilbane—who then held the feather title—and drew with both of them. He also beat any number of good lightweights such as Joe Azevedo, Joe Rivers, and others. And at that time Dundee made the then featherweight limit of 122 lb., without
Dundee made the then featherweight limit of 122 lb., without any great difficulty. Johnny started boxing in 1910, and until last year he was recognized as capable of holding his own with the best of them. His wonderful performances brought him prominence as a marvel. He has had one of the most remarkable careers of any fighter. But now he is said to be sadly on the down grade; ready to be thrown on the heap, and unless all indications fail this wonderful little Italian’s name will soon be associated with ring memories. In his last bout against Kid Sullivan,
with ring memories. In his last bout against Kid Sullivan, Dundee gave unmistakable evidence, according to the reports, that he is no longer the Dundee of old. The old spark was not there. He lacked his fighting fury, his fiery attack and his baffling defensive work, which advanced him into the championship class. They say he was like an old man as compared with the Dundee of a few years ago. While the decision giving Sullivan the junior lightweight title (130 lb. was disputed by some of the critics, the fact that Dundee is no longer the Dundee of old
fact that Dundee is no longer the Dundee of old stood out in bold relief. Johnny now holds the world’s featherweight championship. Through the dictates of that most august body the New York State Boxing Commission, he must defend it at an early date. He has several formidable rivals for the title, and undoubtedly, he will drop his last championship—the one he took from Eugène Criqui in that memorable fight in the Polo Grounds in New York last year. But Dundee has earned a tidy sum in the ring, and can retire for a few years, at least without apprehension
can retire for a few years, at least without apprehension as to the future, and give some of the rising generation of pugilistic aspirants a chance to collect some big jack, so that they in turn can put on the retirement act in years to come. Athletic Superstitions. Little superstitions, of which actors, boxers, baseball players, and many classes of people are victims, have a hold even on a number of the athletes now doing their stuff out at Colombes in the Olympics. Almost everyone is familiar with the fact that theatrical people entertain numerous superstitions, the most accepted of
that theatrical people entertain numerous superstitions, the most accepted of which is whistling in a dressing room. When this occurs, there is but one thing to do or the show will close, and that is—throw an old shoe at the offender. In baseball more than half of the players have little superstitions, which they display before commencing a game. Hughie Jennings, former manager of the Detroit Tigers and now first lieutenant to John McGraw, the guiding star of the New York Giants, always picked up four-leafed clovers while in the coaching line. He also carried a handful of sand in
coaching line. He also carried a handful of sand in the hip pocket of his uniform. Jack Dempsey always communicates with his mother before a fight—by telephone, if possible—otherwise he sends her a wire. This must be a pretty good superstition judging by the world champion’s success in the ring. While on the subject, though, the line must have been busy or Mother Dempsey couldn’t have had a very good connection on the day he fought Firpo. Reverting to the participants in the Olympics, many of them have been noticed to perform little stunts. That of Paddock is probably the
to perform little stunts. That of Paddock is probably the most remarkable. Before starting the final in the 100-meter dash, he sped up to about the 50-meter mark, and knocked his knuckles on the concrete curbing that encircles the inside of the track. Hubbard, the wonderful negro jumper, was seen to pick up a handful of grass before jumping, and while the breeze carried them, endeavored to count the blades. G-alen Bogue.

Quartets of American Athletes Successful in Olympic Games Fours in Dashes and Shot-Puts Materially Boosts Up Points Of Stars and Stripes. America has entered four men in nearly every event on the programme of the Olympic Games. The Americans seem to do things in fours, for in addition to having four men in the finals of the 100-metre dash, all of whom made points for
of the 100-metre dash, all of whom made points for the Stars and Stripes, they now have four men who have qualified in the 200-metre dash, all of whom are sure to bring in points, there being only six entries. The biggest thing, though, yesterday was the way in which the quartet of American shot-putters took the measure of their Finnish competitors. Clarence Houser, formerly of the University of Southern California; Glenn Hartranft, of Stanford; Ralph Hills, of Princeton, and Norman Anderson, of the University of California, were the four whose twenty-one points in this event, helped to bring up
whose twenty-one points in this event, helped to bring up the total of the United States. Houser won the event, putting the big pill out 14.995 metres. Hartranft and Hills were second and third, while Anderson came in fifth. The success of the three Californians is a great recommendation for the climate in the Golden State that produces such shot-putters, and for the coaching of Walter Christie, who has charge of them. The other American quartet to distinguish itself yesterday, was composed of Paddock, Scholtz, Norton and Hill, who will try their luck today against the great English sprinter Abrahams
try their luck today against the great English sprinter Abrahams in the 200-metre dash final. Porritt, Carr, Kingsman and Liddell will also be factors to be considered in this race. In the final trial yesterday Abrahams beat Paddock by inches only. In the elimination, Paddock’s opponents were not so formidable, and yet he did the distance in the fastest time made during the day — 21 4/5 sec. Abrahams’ best time was 22 sec. flat. De Hart Hubbard won the broad jump without any great difficulty. VACATION TOURS. GAUPIRIG TOUR FOR BOYS (of 16 to 20 years) leaving Paris July
