FIVE UNDER PAR
AT AGUA CALIENTE
Leo Diegel Posts Course
Kecord For YE Holes
. With a 138 Score.
By Paul Zimmerman
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
AGUA CALIENTE, Mex., Jan. 15 W)
Leo Dlcgct served notice today that
he contemplated saving tJic Agua
Callento . $15,000 open.4 championship
.lor Baja, Cal., as It passed the half
' way mark. T . . u
Ho of the queer putting stance, ad
mittedly playing the best game of a
title-bedecked career, yesterday post
, ed a. course record Tor the 72-par
distance at 68 to amass the short
total of 133 after 36 holes, six strokes
advantago over par.
Dapper Charles (Beau) Ouest of
Deal, N. J., ouq who has been un
used to keeping pace In such expert
company, was right on the trail of
the fast traveling toreador of this
Mexican course, cracking out a de
termined 60 yesterday to better his
sub-par 71 of tho first round for a
140, two strokes behind, ,,
Three Others Under Par
But it was still -very much of
contest, as one of the most serious
contenders, Gene Sarozen, a great
money player In any country, paced
par, step for step yesterday, shooting
t 72 which with his 70 on Wednes
day gave him third at 142-.
But this was not all. Harry Cooper,
the confident former Texan, now of
Chicago, and Fred Morrison. Culver
City, Cal., mudder, who held the
upper hand, after the first eighteen
holes, were close to the top with
143's. Light Horse Harry had a 71
. on the second round and par 72 on
the start.
Morrison couldn't locate the greens
with his Irons yesterday. And after
ho did find them his putts wouldn't
go down. As a result he ended up
with a 74. two over perfect and five
strokes removed from, his first round
score. ,
Kumon Cards G8 .
Diesel's was not the only 68 yes
terday. . Paul Runyon of White
Plains, N. V., one of the rising gen
eration, surprised everyone, includ-,
lug himself, with two nine hole
cards of 34, each two strokes to the
good over par.
Tho threats did not end with the
143s. , Tied with Runyon at 144 was
Walter Hogen, who appears to be
in the best fonn of any of his annual
western invasions. Tho Halg missed
a long putt by Inches for .a 60 yes
terday, to score 74-70 for tho 36 holes.
Ho Is playing his approaches well
and his putting is the best he has
yet displayed In these parts.

Christmas Golf Dazzling
Billy plays golf whonover ho gets
tho chance. During the Christmas
holiday season, his fattier says, he
shot "great golf," He was eight un
j tier, par for four rounds, ,
Ho likes swimming and dancing.
1 Ho stands well up In his class as a
student. After leaving Washington
and Leo 'ho expects to enter business
with his father, a hardwares mcrch-
ant.
Hilly survived his "big year"- and
all tho tumult of heme town en
thusiasm for .his exploits without
having .his head turned. He was
just as much surprised when he got
homo to get n tremendous welcome
and tho gift of a new car, as he was
to step bashfully into tho press tent
at Beverly lost September and find
tho experts writing thousands of
words about him. His friendly "Bos
well." Paul Ferris, helped him over
tho hurdles of publicity.
Howell Confident
Confidence on any golf course, plus
ability to concentrate, is typical of
this youthful star. Going to tho
34th and next to last hole of his
match with Ouimet, Howell remarked
to a friend an U. S. G. A. official:
"J.'m not licked yet." Ho was ono
down. A screaming Iron split the
pin and the hole was halved.
Billy is out for more trophies this
reason. Graduation will prevent a
defense of his middle Atlantic title,
but ho will defend his old dominion
and Virginia amateur crowns. Ho
also expects to enter the Southern
couferenco tournament, the inter
collc(;lates, tho Southern amateur
and National amntcur.

Sprays, salves and Inhalers may

NOT WORRIED
NEW YORK, Jan. 15 (A1) A mere
$10,000 stands between Babe Ruth and
liio signature to a New York Yankees'
contract for 1932.
Tho first move in the annual duel
between Ruth and his employers
was tho tender yesterday of a con
tract calling for $70,000 In 1932. a
12 y2 per cent reduction from tho
$80,000 tho big outfielder received I
in 1930 and 1031.
'I won't sign that thing," said
Ruth. "I think I'm worth the other !
$10,000 after the season I had. I '
haven't heard of them reducing the ,
admission prices." j
The homo run star indicated he'd ;
sign a contract for $80,000 for , ono j
year or a two-year contract at $70,-1
000. .
Col. Jacob Ruppert, at least at (
present, is unperturbed by 'Ruth's
refusal to accept the Yankees first
offer.
