"Funny thing, says Skipper Eddie Leishman of taev Spokane

the Western International this year. . . "But for his size," says Bucko,
"that Cadinha gets 'fern up there awfully quick."

Hullabaloo in
Open Tourney
Sarazen, Little Tie for
Playoff; Disqualify 6
i
to Cause Blow-up
By GAYLE TALBOT
CANTERBURY GOLF COURSE,
Cleveland, June 8-(P)-Gene Sara
zen, the dark, fast-striding little
golf veteran from Cincinnati, came
out of nowhere late today through
the rain and mud to tie Lawson
Little for the National Open cham
pionship at 287 strokes and carry
the former amateur king into a
playoff for the title tomorrow.
Winner of his first open cham
pionship in 1922 and a repeater in
1932, Sarazen struck for his third
title so unexpectedly that; It wasn't
until the last three holes that the
huge gallery swarmed around him.
Sensational Finish
His finish was nearly as sen
sational as that of '32 when he
scored a final record breaking
round of 66 at Fresh Meadow to
snatch the title from ; Bobby
Cruickshank and Phil Perkins.
Little, winner of the British and
Amateur titles in 1934 and 1935,
was in with what looked like the
payoff score. Sarazen had "blown"
on the out nine, going two over
par, and he needed an impossible
34 coming back to tie. The course
was muqay ana Heavy rrom a
soaking rain.
W rule Little sat In tne press
tent and watched the scoreboard
with anguished eyes, Sarazen did
it. The little gay not only picked I
up the two brrdies he needed, but
on the final hole, he nearly curled
in a 45-foot putt that would have I
won him the title. !
Six Disqualified
There was a terrific hullabaloo j
because Ed Oliver, ofi Hornell,
NY, had been disqualified along
with five other players for having
made an unorthodox start on his
closing round.
Oliver had a total of 287, too,
but It never 'was posted. His 71
