‘6. Willie Maeb‘ariane, both golf-
,rs from New York's metropolitan
district. a formidable lead for the
open championship yesterday. They
led the field of almost a hundred as-
”tents for America‘s most cher-

d and most valuable golf crown

«on

lilacFarlano set the new record.

gthrough the full heat Of the

afternoon. when it was consid-

" ably over the par on the thermo-

meter. to score a 67, when perfect

golf would have been satisfied with a

1'1.
There was something proper about

June 4.-—- Jongs was far off his game in his

morning round. coming in with a 7'.
He was as good as gone, as far as
any championship was concerned,
but he went around in the afternoon
in 70, under par. Bobby may not win
this championship. but he's learned
to fight like a true champion. His
score totaled 147.
* Hagen played some wretched golf,
his card showing a 'l and two (is—-
something quite exceptional with
him. But he's not out of it. When
folks began counting him out toward
the end of his aftelnoon round he
played the next- to- last hole for an
eagle after he had driven into the
rough. and the last for a birdie when
he had to sink a seven-footer. Hagen
is seven strokes behind Diesel but
he' s not licked.

MacDonald Smith found being the
favorite too much for him and didn' t

. for MaeF‘arlane has set many at succeed in making the same kind of

res record.‘ He is a golfers golf-
or. a precise shot maker. a stylist,
careful, clever. who looks more like
rofessor of English at some Mid-
estern college than an athlete from
New York.

There's something human about

in}. too, for he smiled broadly
.17th he missed a comparatively
short putt on the home green that
deprived him of a 66 and a clear

ad for the championship.

Diego! Example of I’brfeclion
, Diegel' I record- tying round was an
example of perfection in 8011. He
was not in a single trap during his
afternoon round when he at his
88. He did not have to go a ter any
exceptionally long putts. Perfect golf
is fascinating and exciting to watch,
but. somewhat like life, isn’t par-
tlcularly interesting to tell about un-
less it is spiced with a, foible here
and there. Diegel's golf _was per-
foot. ‘

In second place. in a triple tie,
were Francis Oulmet. New England's
favorite amateur. who, when still a
youth. startled the golf world in

8118 by winning the open champ-

nship from the great Harry Var-
don and Edward .Ray of Britain.
Francis Gallett. a sound golfdr from
the Middle West. and Al Espinosa,
member of a famous golfing family

he now makes his home in Chi-
cago. More three each ha a 148.
“ .Gens Sarazen. making remark-
able comeback. ended the first half
of play for the championship in
third place. with 144. Johnny Far-
rell, who played for a. time like a
winner. but let up a. bit in the hot
afternoon (and it was hot. the
thermometer registering 94 in the
shade of the club veranda.) was
fourth with 145. Laurie Ayton, a
popular Scotchrnan from the Chi-
'cago district. _was tied with Mike
‘Bridy from New .York in fifth place
with 141.

Only such golf as champions can

favorites—Walter Regen, Bobby
...; es and MacDonald Smith—to

y anywhere near the leaders.

 

a recovery as Hagen and Jones did.
Hagen fights himself into his game.
Jones works at it. Smith counsels
patience to himself and today he
was patient too long. for his true
game wouldn’ t come to him and he
wouldn't go out and fetch it by the
ears. with the result that he ended
up with 152. eleven strokes behind
Diesel.
Leo chgel Is Out to \\ in

Any number of strokes is too many
to be behind Diegel. for this young
man felt the‘championship crown
already pressing on his brow in
1920, when it slipped off and passed
by a stroke to Edward Ray, that
same Ray who had succumbed to
Ou‘imot and who wasn't to be taken
by surprise again.

Diegel is out to win and rather ex-
pects to. for Mach‘ariane has the
reputation of being a one-day golf-
er, fine for thirty-six holes but phy-
sically unable to stand a longer
test.

Cyril Walker. the defending cham-'

plea. was far out of it. well down the
list .with a score of 2154.. Poor walk-
erl The champion. and he walked
around the course alone. to ‘three-
putt himself out of. his beloved title
until he was utterly desolate. .

Jones and Hagen had a great gall
lery. Smith and Farrell always had
hundreds with them. , Saracen and
Quintet—broadly grinning Gone with
the cocky walk and Francis. one of
those curious favorites who's never
been given a nickname—had a how-
ling mob of enthusiasts who cheered
and applauded every shot, no mat,-
ter where it went. Walker was alone.
and I could see it hurt.

It was a bad day for favorites.
Jock Hutchlson, who Was to make
his comeback here. also was far
down. with 156. Bill Mehlh‘orn, who
ranked close behind the Smith- Jon-
esoHagen triumvlrate as a favorite.
found himself. with 150. Tommy Ar-
mour. one of those whispered fav-
orites. had 160, a stroke more titan
little Angel de la Torre. the Span-
iard _who plays with. light. short
clubs.

The bout is a charity affair.

Jack has been salted to be real

Phil may be one of those earnest
lads, but his ploturoIglves little in-

Scott is one of the latest crop of
“hopes" being dug up daily around
the .British Isles in the forlorn of-
tort to produce a heavyweight light—

, or of merit.

The ones dug up to date fall short
either because of what they possess

Real
Season

By JOHN B. FOSTER.
(Copyright. 1925.)
NEW YORK. June 4.-—Pltcher
Knight of the Philadelphia, Nation-
als. has been rudely pushed from his
porch as a big league pitcher who
has not lost a game this season.

The Giants get the credit for it.
but Knight's , team-mate. Chick
Hawks, was primarily responsible.
Hawks juggled a throw just long
enough to put the Giants under way.
and before they were through they
had a winning lead that removed
Knight from the hall of fame.

It seemed rather tough that
Knight should get a setback in part
because of the misplay of an in-
fielder. but that only emphasizes the
fact that the present method of com~
putlng the victories and defeats
charged to a pitcher lsn’ t worth floor
room in an ash can. -

Still. Knight did not seem to have
much with him on the afternoon in
which New York bumped him and.
perhaps.‘ had the game send along.
he would hays lost it on his own so-
eount. I

Judging by the probable skill of
the pitchers. who remain in the Na-
tional League without a' defeat
charged against them. one is per-
fectly safe lnsaying that no one in
the National League has much
chance to repeat the long winning
run of Yde in 1924, when he went
far into the dying days of the season
before they took a game away from
him.‘ 0

Yds has gone from one extreme to
the other. This year he cannot win.

 

, That brings 'to mind the observa-

tion of-the National {league mans-

so: who opined during the winter
that Yde Would come in for an awful
bumping in 1925. He generalized.
when asked to state why he thought
the Danish prince would get well
trounced. by remarking that "Yde
was toodsrned luckyin 1924." Yet
he seems to have hit‘ the keynote.
because Yde hasn't been able to» win.
either in practice 'or in. _the‘exten-
sion of the schedule of the big show.

The bestIyoungster in pitchers in
the National Magus for the moment
seems to be Ehrhsrdt of Brooklyn.
There isn‘t another kid in the cir-
cuit who seems more at ease. al-
though Rhem of St. Louis. has more
stuff and. in time. may develop into
a sensation.

The finest undefeated run in the
big leagues at present is that of
Gray of the Athletics, who carried
his victories up to eight with a show
of pitching that has not been sur-

e‘passed by any grlghthandor in five

yearsu-I—that is, a righthandor lust
fitting into his surroundings. Gray
was in the American League last
year, but this season he had begun
to show" something so much better
than the ordinary that even the non-
experts recognized thr’t't he is to be
reckoned with. ‘

The most conspicuous fact in the
records of the American League
pitchers to date is that all of the
very good ones. except that of Gray.
have been made by the old timers-
which shows that the American
League is an old timers' league so
far as pitching is concerned. and
that after the Fourth of July the
pitching may be as airtight in that
circuit as any major league pitching
since the war.

sational Fielding

‘ The Norwalk High nine returned
to its winning form yesterday at
Seaside Park. Bridgeport. and de-
feated the Bridgeport Trade School
by the score of 4 to 0. v'l‘he locals
gathered fourteen hits of! Dunn. ap-
prentice pitcher. but were only able
to dent the rubber onIfour occasions.
due to their poor running onr‘tho

paths. , 1 , . .
Holmes. on the mound for the-
Green and White. had an easy time
with the Bridgeporters. allowing but
two hits and not one Trade School
opponent could as'much as ”reach
third.
The Norwalk nine displayed its
best ball on the field this year. ap-
parently having overcome their bad
habit of the Stamford game "of Jug-
gling the ball. The lone error check-
ed against the Norwalkers‘yv was an
excusable throw by McMahon. Who.
in a desperate effort to stop a. hit off
of the bat of Locke, tossed poorly
to Gormiey at first. Saliick. at the
midway sack for the locals. featured
with sensational stops.
While Holmes was holding‘ the
Traders in complete submission. the
locals would have a runner on the
paths each inning, but by some fool.
ish burst of speed. would perish
before arriving at the home station.
In the first half of the eighth in-
ning the Norwaikers thought that it
was about time that they scored.
Gormley started this good work with
a smashing‘single over short and
reached second on a momentary
fumble by O'Connor in lefty Scodeld
hit to Federiei, whose perfect toss
got away from Timoncy. and Germ-
ley endeavored to score on the min-
play, but was out at the plate, Sco-
field going to seednd; O'Brien sine

going to second. He advanced to
