About Horton Smith THE crowd was there to see the champion perfom. A tall, gangling youth of 11 years carried the cham- pion's golf bag. He was lost in the crowd except when he stepped for- ward to let the champion select his club. Finally the exhibition ended. “What's your fee. son? the champion asked the youth. “Please Mr. Hagen, I only want a andful of those wooden tees you use,' an- swered the caddy—Horton Smith. #fc:h and Hagen will compete :;st one another In the U.

S. Open golf champion is Bobby Jones. Or, it may be either one of a couple of other fellows—Walter Hagen or Gene Sarazen. It may sound like heresy, but you know Mr. Jones has been beaten before, and here are a couple of putter-pushers wht are just cocky enough ;o think that such miracle might be worked again. Am* Sir Walter has been holding sec- ret practice in Australia with Joe Kirkwood. His putter started play- ing queer pranks on those old eyes during the winter in the west, re- sulting in his decision to forego the British 0{ .n which he won last year. Friends who have seen Walter since his return to America say he has x. ored to is brazen putter much of its ancient charm. Which means that he isn't gcmg to Min- neapolis just to waicxi Boooy Jones play. in naming the Haig as a contend- er, however, I a.u banking ». Leo Dxegei or some otner friend being there ta pull him out of bed m time to get started w’ith Jimmy Thompson, the Colorado pro, at 1:50 p. m. Thursday, July 10. Fori there is always a chance that Hagen may be poured out of a taxicab,' wearing a full-dress ui. from the night before, Just an hour and a half late ox the ceremony of tee- ing off. Hagen is unattached to any golf club. The years are beg. ning to sit upon his shoulders, not heavily as yet for .-gen still refuses to be bothered, but the years are oerched there, just the same. This .r he nas no championship title of any kind, and he needs one in his busi- ness. He may be figuring it's time to get into a little golf. Watch the scores. • • • The other fellow, Gene Sarazen, curiously enough is one of the not- so-many golfers who love to do battle with Hagen. You have to be a coimetitor to ’ :e to play against Hagen, the kidder and goat-getter, but that's th" kind of golfer Sar- azen is. When he's hot he is irre- sistibly cocky. And he we' vc warm in the spring d 'wn south. He took down the $10,000 prise In the Agua Ca- liente Open without even getting serious.

MACKS SECOND IN CLOUTING Pennant Headed Saints Are Fourth in Batting And 2nd in Snaring 'Em With the crucial games of July Fourth and Sunday now tucked back into the Valley league’s rec- ords as past history, Harlingen is leading the circuit both in batting and fielding. Manager Joe Bob Lawrence's aggregation is whang- ing away with the willow at the clip of .341 and is fielding to the neat little tune of .961. The San Benito Saints, who are at the head of the won and lost column, are fourth in hitting with a mark of .297 and are second in team fielding with an average of .921. The McAllen Macks, tied with Harlingen for second place in the standings, slumped both in hitting and fielding over the crucial three- game series. The Macks are sec- ond in hitting and third in fielding. These averages are .336 and .919 respectively. The Macks, who were leading the league in hitting up until the series, slumped 28 percent- age points over the week-end. Their fielding fell off seven points also. Traits Hit Eddie Marburger’s Mission Grape- fruiters gained seven points in batting to boost their average to .309 for third honors—12 points above the league leading Saints. The Grapefruiters hit the dol- drums so far as fielding was con- cerned, however, falling back into eighth place with a mark of .884. Over the week-end. San Benito slumped eleven points in batting, but gained five points In fielding. The rip-snorting La Feria crew was able to show a gain in both departments, increasing their hit- ting average to .286 and their field- ing mark to .914. They roared out like a lion to defeat McAllen and Donna only to fall before Rio Hon- do Sunday. The company of Kachtik Kach- tik & Kachtik—sometimes known as Rio Hondo—pulled up, and Is now sixth in batting and fourth In fielding. These marks are .214 and .917 respectively.

' It seems no time at all since the Waco Cubs were doing their best to dispose of Harold “Lefty” Stein. The southpaw had lost nine straight starts and had come to be consid- ered as just so much excess bag- gage on the Cubs pitching staff. But that was before the Pratt- men discovered that they could hang electric lights around Katy park and p|v before 4.000 custom- ers. Instead of the usual 400. The flicker game has been no greater boon to the Waco treasury than it has to “Lefty” Stein. Where the batters gave him a capital fit bv day, they have found him a total mystery by night. Last night it was the San Anton- io Indians who came under the southpaw’s nocturnal spell. Pitch- ing his club’s farewell appearance for eleven days at home. Stein lim- ited the tribesmen to four hits and defeated them. 15 to 3. It was his [ fourth straight victory under the arc lights. Where the Indians could do no- thing with Ralph, the Cubs pounded three visiting slabsters merrily. In- Champ Wins SAN FRANCISCO.

Harlingen Leading in Hitting and Fielding Watch Hagen and Sarazen Is
Tip Offered by Golf Experts
BY WILLIAM BRAUCHF.ft S’EA Service Sports Editor
When the returns are added up next Saturday night at Interlachen, it may be discovered that the 1930 U. S. Open golf champion is Bobby Jones. Or, it may be either one of a couple of other fellows—Walter Hagen or Gene Sarazen.
It may sound like heresy, but you know Mr. Jones has been beaten
before, and here are a couple of putter-pushers wht are just cocky enough ;o think that such miracle might be worked again.
Am*
Sir Walter has been holding sec- ret practice in Australia with Joe Kirkwood. His putter started play- ing queer pranks on those old eyes during the winter in the west, re- sulting in his decision to forego the British 0{ .n which he won last year. Friends who have seen Walter since his return to America say he has x. ored to is brazen putter much of its ancient charm. Which means that he isn't gcmg to Min-
neapolis just to waicxi Boooy Jones play.
in naming the Haig as a contend- er, however, I a.u banking ». Leo Dxegei or some otner friend being there ta pull him out of bed m time to get started w’ith Jimmy Thompson, the Colorado pro, at 1:50 p. m. Thursday, July 10. Fori there is always a chance that Hagen may be poured out of a taxicab,' wearing a full-dress ui. from the night before, Just an hour and a half late ox the ceremony of tee- ing off.
Hagen is unattached to any golf club. The years are beg. ning to sit upon his shoulders, not heavily as yet for .-gen still refuses to be bothered, but the years are oerched there, just the same. This .r he nas no championship title of any kind, and he needs one in his busi- ness. He may be figuring it's time to get into a little golf. Watch the scores.
• • •
The other fellow, Gene Sarazen, curiously enough is one of the not- so-many golfers who love to do battle with Hagen. You have to be a coimetitor to ’ :e to play against Hagen, the kidder and goat-getter, but that's th" kind of golfer Sar- azen is. When he's hot he is irre- sistibly cocky.
And he we' vc warm in the spring d 'wn south. He took down the $10,000 prise In the Agua Ca- liente Open without even getting serious. Tn th leri round he came from behind and beat Horton Smith
Did You Know That« Down at Unii tt, New York,

Golfs spotlight f.rst turnec on Sarazen in 1923 er he wo' the Nation. Open at Skokie. Hagen, Jones, Mehlhom and George Black all wc~t into the final round year with a str ahead of Sar- acen. He burned up that last ~ 'nd with a 68.
He sat on a rail fence near the 18th green, waiting for the others to come in. He had a 288, but in view of what the others were do- ing. it appeared the score might be beaten. An unofficial c- rirr came to tell him that Haren and Black were cominr along great guns, shooting b./dies and eagles all over the pre. .ses.
Sarazen, then a 21-year-old kid. Just grinned.
“Yes?” he commented. "Well. I've got mine. They’ve still got t' get theirs.”
As it f’*~“d out, none of the four—Jones. Hagen, Mehlhor.i and Black—could bi‘“»r that scon. They didn't get theirs. And this rr.a’- be just anoth.r like that.
