Bori Mulr, 205-pound Australian cham pion, here last night with a body slam, the match ending in, the fifth round With dramatic suddenness, Mulr had Hansen half groggy with a series of punishing head locks, when lack of caution gave Hansen; the op portunity to get his favorite hold, and It was curtains for the boy frpm down under. .

He was carried, to his corner . and thence assisted to the dressing room, but it was many, minutes be fore he thoroughly recovered, and Referee Ray McCarroU awarded thi fall and the decision to Hansen. . Best of the Sens on - ' , The match, which was well attend 'fid, was one of the best ever staged iti La Grande. The two men were ex? cepUomtfly well matched. Muir, only niiu in me wresting game live years, was far quicker than Hansen, but the latter made up for this with his .nat caginess. . The first two rounds were fairlv even, with .both men alternating in 'offensive tactics. Hansen was rely ipg largely upon scissors while Muir was using l)is. headlocks and toe holds, When time cajne at the end or the Thira round Muir had a pun ishing hold on Hansen's arm. . The fourth round was crammed full of action, . Mutt's headocks had Han sen going but the Seattle grapples took the offensive when he clamped on a body scissors, but Muir broke it.. 'A moment later, the referee ,was locked half ' way ocr'oss trie firitj when he received a kick in the facq during a . momentary melee on the mat. -' . . .Hansen Clrojrgy Mulr continued his aggressive tac- tics and Hansen sought refuge out- : 'side the ropes for a few seconds, 'More headlocks Were applied and ' Vhen the fourth round, ended, most fans were of the opinion that a lit- .tie more time would have given Mulr a toll.-7. , .

This Game Of Golf By O, ft. fceeler , The announcement that the next prltlsh open championship, to bo played for the first time at the old Scottish golfing town of Carnoustie, will carry a penalty of distance only for an out-of-bounds shot, Inspires Harry Vardon, tho "Old, Master'' to rather caustlo comment. .- Yafdon's commont grew out of tho Circumstance . that the amateurs, playing the British amateur competi tion at Westward Hoi will be pena niitrtr in tfan nniin hfl tk oi. ntt with half of that cost' for h misplaced snot oft the course. Vardon admits as we .on this side1 Of the Atlantic- have realized for some years that some golf courses offer many more opportunities for going out of bdunds than other golf courses. - - , . . . . I remember that . the penalty for the "O. B." shot at the St. Louis Country club In the national amii. teur of 1021 was dlstanco only:, but therii were no fcWer tliah M nlftcBs where ono might oonvenlohtly ,hlt one out of bounds, . . This, In Vardon'e opinion, does not altogether excuse an exemption, or part of -ah exemption, .on. the course where It Is easy to get out of bounds frequohtly. - - ' . He soys: . ''.: "Whatever we m -think of the plausibility of theso rospootlvo Ideas of Justice, the fact remains that the character 6f a bod shot is riot mod ified by the existence f many op PQi'tunltlcs for making It. Rather, this latter factor ought to act as a deterrent. - lVfy - !i shut out : from their lives . ' 1 ..'

' The stroke - aiid - distance penalty always has seemed somewhat exces sive to me. for a shot struck out of bounds. At the worst, the ball was struck somewhere. The worst fault that con be committed in golf is, of course, to miss the ball completely. But there is- tio penalty other than tho stroko thus misemployed. Cer tainly It is not so bad a stroke that propels the ball, anywhere, on tho course ot off; : Robert Gardner, former (and twice) national . amateur champion, once failed of. qualification in a similar championship because from the sarno tee he pulled three consecutive drives out of bounds and thus was playing 7 ooxore no -ever got pn -tne tee. -..v- i remember, too, that Bernard bar win and Horace Hutchinson, playing ah extra hole In a match in the Brit ish amateur championship at Hoy lake, managed between them .to place seven balls out ot bounds on this single hole; but in this case IhOIr transgressions merely cancelled each other until one of them I forget which finally hit one In bounds and won the hole and the match- '" For years it has i?oen 'my fancy that a fair regulation would be uniform penalty of distance only (or one stroke) for a ball out of bounds, a lost ball, or an unplayable He.
