Stroke Behind, and Hutchison Is Third.

SANDWICH. England, June 23. —Walter Hagen, American homebred profes
sional. became the first golfer born in th e United States to ever win the British
open golf championship today when he led the field of 224 players with a total
score of 300 for the four rounds of pla y. Hagen won by putting on a wonder
ful "fighting” finish of the sort which has earned him his American reputation
of being one of the gamest men in golf.
Stung by a terrible third round, when
he took 43 for the final nine for a total
of 79 and dropped from the lead, Hagen
came back with a 72 on his final go and
thus gained the title. His score for the
four rounds: 76-73-79-72—300.

Hagen played masterful golf, his
birdie four at the 505-yard fourteenth
being the gem of his round. He smashed
a brassie second to within four yards
of the sin.
James Barnes, the American open
champion, made a fine effort to catch
Hagen, but failed by a shot. He played
the final round in 73 for a total of 301.
thus nosing out Hutchison for second
place by a shot.
Hutchison's total for the 72 holes was
302. At the fourth hole Hutchison put
his second shot out of bounds when he
overplayed the green. The penalty of

Against Mor rich Is
Big Turf Question
LATONIA, Ky., June 23.—The out
standing question on the tongues of race'
fans here today, with the $50,000 Latonia
Special twenty-four hours away. is
whether Whiskaway, Harry Payne Whit
ney's fleet 3-year-old, can repeat the
victory he scored over Morvlch in the
Caneton Stakes last Saturday. Other
phases of the race fade into Insignificance
beside this.
Whiskaway is not lacking in support
|gr who declare he can "take” Ben
■jock's star any time he starts against
Morvich'g admirers contend that
tblKfpisode of the i'arleton Stakes was ;
an incident that will not be repeated. !
WhilskWhiskaway and Morvich bask
in the uWlight, however, there are not 1
a few who>4ook upon Pillory. R. T. Wll- I
son's colt whp won the Preakness and
Belmont Stakes, as the most likely ]
winner.
Olympus. John Finn. Deadlock, liroom
sterr Tnibndaux and By Gosu are |
probaolo starters. Their chances, how- |
ever, are rather pale as compared with
the effulgent outlook for Morvich, Pil- j
lory and Whiskaway.
New York Fans Regret
Passing of George Burns,
Popular Giant Fielder
New York wants a winner. The
baseball fans of New York are about
as hard-boiled as any in the country.
They will applaud a safe cracker If
he can hit a baseball, and they seem
to care little about what a man is If
he plays good ball. But deep down in
their hearts the fans are sound. The
passing to the Cincy Reds of George
Burns perhaps raised more real senti
mental protest than anything that ever
happened in New York, not exceeding the
p“* of Larry Doyle, writes Hugh
Fullerton.
The New York fans are paying a just
tribute to one of the finest characters the
sport has produced. The fact is that
perhaps his legs are not as good as they
were—possibly his eyes are not as quick,
due to the fact that he has played in
the ruinous sun field so many years. But
the fans of New York, victory lovers as
they are. would root harder for Bums
In left field than they will for many a
year for any hero who comes along.
There is no sentiment in business or
in baseball, of course, but in spite of
that claim of owners and managers the
fact is that if all sentiment goes out
of the game the game itself loses stand
ing.
Cj'ilet, gentlemanly, always hustling, al
ways giving the best that was in him
to his team, with a name that never has
bean mentioned in any scandal, any row
dyism. Burns honored the game he played
and gave to it more than he took
out. He won respect, which is finer
than applause, and he never alibied. A
clean, decent man, on and off the field,
a great ball player and a great man—
he was as near the type of finest sports
man as baseball produces.

Much Discussed Infield
Fly Rule Is Explained
When an umpire rules a fly ball an
infield fly, it merely resolves itself Into
a question of Judgment. An infleld fly
is any fly ball other than a line drive
which in the opinion of the umpire can
be handled by an inflelder.
The infleld fly rule applies with first
and second or first, second and thlrn
base occupied and less than two out.
This rule was made to protect the base
runner from being doubled up by hav
ing a fielder purposely drop or trap such
a fly ball.
The umpire, with such conditions ex
isting, Immediately calls infleld fly. ii
>n his Judgment the ball can be handled
by an inflelder. That is a warning to
the base runners that the batsman is
automatical • retired.
If. after the umpire rules a certain hit
an infleld fly, and some outfielder makes
the play on the ball and drops it. that
act does in no way change the original
ruling of the umpire It Is still an in
field fly that retires the batsman.
Base runners can advance on an in
field fly the same as on any other fly
ball that is caught or dropped.
CHILDREN HURT AFTER RACE.

OBTAINED TO FILL INDIANS’
UTILITY JOB AND PINCH HIT
The Indians today added to their rost< -r
a player who is expected to remedy
weakness that frequently has handicappt
the team The new player Is Tom Wht
lan, late of the Columbus Senators an
formerly of the St. Paul Saints. He is
utility man and right-handed pinch hitte
and can fill In at second, first and th
outfield. Against left-handed pitching, t
left-handed batter usually is weak, ant
due to the fact that the Indians' lone
pinch hitter. Harry Purcell, bats from tht
left side of the plate. Manager Hendricks
frequently has had to let a pitcher hit
in a pinch because of the lack of an ex
tra right-handed slugger on the bench.
Whelan is said to possess the proper
qualifications for the role here. He is
powerfully built, aggressive and of the
‘‘peppery" type, good at "pepping" the
game up when in the line-up and also
when on the coaching lines.
Last season, —hen a member of the
Saints, Whelan hit for an average of .310.
He was used at both first base and sec
ond base and in JOT games he hit fnf pn
average of .310. Os hls 104 hits he nit for
144 total bases and drove in forty-four
runs. He got twelve doubles, eight
triples and four home runs. He ployed
thirty-eight games at first base and six
ty-four at second.
Whelan, a former Georgetown Unlver
sity (Washington. P. C.). athletic star in
baseball and football. Asa grid per
former he played end and was ranked
among the best college wingmen in the
country. He still plays football as a
professional after the close of the base
ball season. The Indians obtained Whe
lan by paying the Senators the waiver
price of $2,000.

SECOND CLASH
WITH LEADERS
Indians Try Hard to Get Out

to Saints.
Downed by the leading Millers in tha
first game of the ‘ big” series yesterday,
6 to 4, the Indians hoped to produce a
stronger kick today and take Pongo
Joe s maulers Into camp. It was a glve
and-take affair In the opener, but bases
on bails ruined the Tribe chances, throe
passes developing into Miller markers.
Harry Weaver was slated to do the

defeat yesterday mad- four beatings in
a row for the Indians, and they were
at that stage today where they felt like
they had to do something The Millers
gained a full game over the Indians
and Saints yesterday, for the Saints
were unable to -heck the Colonels at
Louisville. •
The Indians got eight hits to the Mil
lers ten, but the Cautillonites were there
wiih the timely hits behind bases on
balls and the ultimate result found the
friendly enemy with two more markers.
Tribe errors also figured in the Miller
scoring while the one mispiny made by
the visitors failed to help the Indians.
Fact of the mutter all the fortune of the
day's pastimiug favored the athletes
irom tlie Flour Citj. Neither team win
able to kick up a big rally, all runs scor
ing by "ones.” The Indians scored lu
tlie first, second, seventh and ninth and
ihe Millers in the first, fourth, fifth,
sixth, eighth and ninth.
It was Lefty Morrison's last dny with
the Indiana. The fleet center fielder was
claimed by the Saiuts when the Tribe
officials asked waivers on him and he
left today to Join the Kelleyilc* at
Louisville. Lcftey was obtained from
the Western t'anadian League and he
lias played with the Hendrlcksmen since
the spring of 1921. He has been a won

Morrison has been a popular member of
the team. He lias worked hard, followed
instructions and tried bis best.
Vernon Spencer is coming back to All
Morrison's shoes The former N. Y.
Giant outfielder wired the club yesterday
that his injured leg is strong again.
Spencer is all-around good when he is
right and his presence surely will boost
*’ '-tianees if he is able to play
up to form.
Sin-a ad Seib hurled the contest yes
terday, the former pitching seven innings
and the latter two. Pat was wild and
his lack of control proved costly. Rube
Sehauer went the full route on the
mound for the Millers, and though he
didn't appear to have a whole lot, he
was favored by breaks and good fielding
and batting support on the part of his
mates.
Doug Baird made himself prominent

PROBABLY NEXT YEAR
NEW YORK, June 23.—Tex Rickard
will promote a bout between Jack
Dempsey and Harry Wilis for the
wor.u s heavyweight championship. Such
was the outcome of a Square Garden
conference afternoon between Jack
Kear.., manager of the champion; Dan
Mi Ketrick, Kearns Eastern representa
tive; Rickard, aud Frank Flouruoy,
ui-icuumsig ot the garden.
It is the first time that Rickard has
looked favorably upon tlie venture. When
j Ltie match was first discussed sume
; mouths ago, Rickard was inclined to
I frown upon it. bluet: then he appec a to
j have been convinced there ia a public
I Ucmu.iU lor such a bout.
It was to get Kearns’ views on the
j mutter that Rickard invited him to con
! ler Thursday. The champion s manager
told Rickard that if the Utter was wili
|mg u promote the bout he could go
• ahead and make the necessary arrunge
\ incuts. The time and pluce are still to
Ibe decided upon. The oi uy stipulation
that Kearns rnude was that Rickard must
1 secure .ne assurance I'rtm the authorities
! wherever lie proposed staging the bout,
■ tnat there would be no interference.
JACK READY,
K EARNS SAYS.
I According 10 the promoter nnd the
| manager, terms were not discussed.
Kearns said Dempsey would bo ready
ti fight at any time und at any place.
' it is now up to Rickard,” Kearns said
after the conference. "Dempsey always
haj been ready to fight Wills or any one
i use. Dempsey s profession is ooxlng,
' and he is unx.ous to work at it, hut it
is ao easy matter to find opponents for
him.
"1 am gunning around now trying to
! arrange a oout or two for Dempsey to
put him in shape Then Wilis can nave
a crack at the title. However, I want
i Rickard to promote th# Dempsey-Wilis
I match.”
! Aft, r the conference with Kearns, Rick
ard said:
j ”1 have no site In mind right now for
| the Dompsey-Wills bout, and, naturally.
’ ! have no idea when it will he held. I
am going to work on the affair imiuv-.
dlately and will seek a site wnere I can
be assured there will be no interference,
by the authorities."
BOUT NOT LIKELY
1 FOR THIS YEAR.
indications at this time are that the
; bout may not be held until next year.
Kearns’ statement that he wants Demp
sey to engage In one or two bouts
against opponents other than YViils. and
t - fact that Rickard has no definite site
for the match, furnish the foundation for
the bell* f that it will be impossible to
pu ton the tout before next year.
It is understood Rickard is considering
trying to stage the match in Jersey City.
1 if’ the New Jersey boxing commission
| looks with favor upon the match and
* Governor EJwardg assures Rickard there
| will be no interference, that will be the
I site.
It is also unlerstood Rickard will as
; certain the attitude of the New York
btixing commission. If the local au
thorities arc agreeable it is possible Rick
ard will decide to stage the event in the
< 1 - ~* Two Hundred and Twenty-
Fifth 6treet.
Only Four Major League
Managers in Active Play
Is the playing manager slowly becom
ing extinct in the major leagues?
Os the sixteen big leagus leaders, only
four are now rated in the pitying class.
The American Lengue boasts throe in
Speaker. Cobb nnd Milan, while the Na
tional has one In Bill Klilefer.
Ii is a rather Interesting fact that the
three American League playing managers
aro outfielders Bill Klilefer is a catch
er nnd a mighty good one. ne stated
recently that he would not do a great
deal of catching this season.
It would seem that catchers develop
Into managers more readily than players
at other positions. Ten of the manager
in tlie majors today gained famed back
of the bat.
In 'he National League, Pat Moran. Bill
KHVfrr. Branch Rickey. George Gibson,
Fred Mitchell and Wilbur Robinson
s'arred in the majors back of the bit.
In the American League, Connie Mack
and Lee Fohl learned the game as
catchers.

Mixed Doubles on
Card in City Meet;
N Favorites Go Good
Semi-Final Play Tomorrow —
Bastian, Burdick, Daugherty
and McKay ia Singles.
Mixed doubles made up most of today's
program at the Hawthorn courts in the
city tennis tournament with one doubles
match in the semi-final round comjjleting
the card. The meet is rapidly drawing
to a close with semi-final play scheduled
for tomorrow and the final competition
for the city championships on Sunday.
Interest centers in the men’s singles
in which four of the city's best survive.
| Fritz Bastian, John Daugherty, Ralph
I Burdick and Jack McKay by winning
; their matches Thursday went to the semi
final round. Bastian will meet Daugherty
and McKay will meet Burdick tomorrow.
Daugherty and Bastian are both college
players, Fritz at one time being Western
Conference champ, and Daugherty, the
I’urdue captain, this season.
In Thursday’s contests Daugherty
! sprang a surprise by defeating the
j veteran Appel. 7-5, 3-6. 6-3. It looked
for a while as though Appel would win
after his opponent had taken the first
set as Fred won the second set rather
easily and had two games on the third
before Daugherty got started. But
youth was to be served and the Boiler
maker leader, playing a steady game,
won his way to the seml-flnals.
George Starbuek made Bastian hustle,
but Fritz's superior endurance told in the
long run and he won a three-set match
1 after dropping the first set, 8-2. The
score of the match was 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Burdict defeated Kipp 6-3, 6-1 and Mc-
Kay won from Ehlers, 6-4. 6-fc
The semi-final round in the doubles
was reached with F. Bastian and Bur
dick, Starbuek and Ehiers, B. Bastian
and Kohn and McKay and Kohn still in
the competition for the city title. One
of tliess teams was to be eliminated this
afternoon when Bastian and Burdick
w<-re to meet Starbuek and Ehlers. The
first named team was a heavy favorite.
Anna Haworth will meet E. Bohnen
kamp, and C. Dobson will meet Irma
1 Adams in the semi-finals of the women’s
tourney tomorrow as a result of Thurs
day's play.
E. the hardest battle
in the womens’ singles, defeating M.
Wolfred after three sets. 0-3, 2-6, 6-3.
Irma Adams, State singles champion,
had little trouble in going to the semi
finals. She is the big favorite to cop the
women’s singles c'ty crown.
