MEDFOED MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 1932. PXGE FOUR Gene Sarazen Captures U. S. Open Golf Crown In Surprise Finish CARDS 66 IN LAST ROUNDTO SNATCH COVETED LAURELS Amazing Climax Leaves Gallery Gasping Perkins and Cruickshank Tied for Second Place With 289 By Alan Could (Associated Press Sports Editor) ' FRESH MEADOW COUNTRY CLUB, Flushing, N. Y.. Juns 28. AP) Gene Sarazen, the king himself, set tled his right of succession to the world championship throne of golf today with the greatest finish in all the history of the game. With a spurt that left the galler ies roaring and riotous, the experts and players gasping, galloping Oene i -1 SEKJG sabazew came down the stretch like a Man o' war to shoot a record-smashing ea, four under par, on his final round and captured the United States open championship with three full strokes to spare. Amazing Climax Barely two weeks after his triumph In the British open with a reoord core of 383, Saraaen struck his stride on the final day, and furnished an 1 amazing climax to one of the most thrilling free-fcr-alla the American tournament haa known In years. Oene finished the 73 holes with rounds of 74-76-70-66 for a total of 986 that equalled the record set by Charles (Chick) Evans of Chicago, at Minneapolis in 1916. His final, dazzling round, made under the sort of pressure that has stamped him How They Stand National Chicago ........... Pittsburgh Boston Philadelphia , Brooklyn At. Louis New York .

Just ten years ago Sarazen .won his last and only other American open championship with a last round 68 for a total of 388. Sinks Final 6-Footer He didn't make a mistake on that last round or If he did manifest any signs of being human he quick ly offset them by superlative recov eries. He was out In 83, three un der par, and had caught and passed every rival. Ho was back In 34, one under par, and had the champion ship so thoroughly clinched that he could have taken three putts on the last green and won. Instead of doing just what he did tap In a six footer. Thorns Phillip Perkins, former British amateur champion, lately turned professional and Bobby Cruickshank, the transplanted little Scotch veteran, finished exactly three strokes behind Sarazen,' with 389 each. Sarazen so completely spread eagled a field that was tightly bunoh ed after three rounds, with at least eight left In the running, that ho finished from three to twelve strokes ahead of all rivals. Dlegel Fourth Leo Dlegel, wound up In fourth place with 73-74-73-74304. A stroke behind him. In fifth position was Wlffy Cox, 60-73-70-73396. Jurado finished sixth with 74-71-70-76 306. The defending champion, Bill Burke, lost sight of In the last wild scramble, finished eleven strokes back of the new tltleholder, tied with Harry Cooper and Olln Dutra for seventh place with 307 each. Burke's lost round of 71 was his best but It was too late. Dutra, a one day wonder when he set the first round pace with a 80 ruined his Qhanoes on two holes an eight on the 16th In the morning and a seven cn the fifth in the afternoon, each due to a drive out of bounds. Walter Hagen "blew" on the last day, much to his own and every body else's surprise, and was tenth with a final score of 388, Toledo.

BOYS TOO EAGER; PROMOTER FEARS EARLY KNOCKOUTS Mack Ltllard, Medford's new fight Impresario, Is worried over his Wed nesday night card. Where promoters usually worry as to whether the gladiators will show aufflclent activ ity, Llllard Is on the anxious seat for fear his galaxy of punch ped dlers will open up with so much steam that knockouts will cut tti evening's Armory entertainment short. Every bout on the forthcoming card will pit boys that like to slug and who believe more In scoring knockouts than In earning a decision by fancy boxing. In the main event Jimmy Byrne, Marshfleld sensation, will meet Jack McCarthy, San Fran cisco In a scheduled 10-round affair which Is complicated by a mutual grudge and the fact that the winner will probably be given a shot at Leo Lomskl here in the near future. If the match goes the 10 rounds Lll lard and the fans who know the principals, will be much surprised. ' The supporting bouts hold dy namic possibilities, with Terry Klleen of Salem and Medford meeting Ray Lltman of Grants Pass In six rounds and Circus Red Howe, Marshfleld, swapping socks with Jack Hayes of Portland In a like number of rounds. Herb White of Butte Falls and Art Matthewa of Medford, a pair of willing mixers, who have been train ing hard on Llllard's nightly work out program at the city playgrounda. will appear In a four-round curtain raiser. A reduction In prices has been announced for the Wednesday show.

The throngs went home, the big fleet of pleasure craft weighed anchor in the harbor, leaving to the impassive Thames, alone, a Harvard crew that preened In new-found glory, and eight bitterly disappointed Yale oars men. For them the ancient rivalry of 80 years' standing, usually ending each season with the four mile bat tle .from Bartlett's Cove to the rail road bridge, had only just begun. Ahead ox both lay the Olympic row ing try outs at Worcester, for Yale the chance to avenge Harvard's crushing three length victory yester day; for bhe crimson the chance to' rise to further helshts as one of the greatest crews In Cambridge his tory. Harvard went out to smash Yale at Its own sprinting game In the first half mile. Without lifting It 'a deadly, space-devouring stroke above 1 33 to the minute, while the Eli's were racing close to 40, Harvard overcame Yale's quarter length lead and went away, never again to be threatened through the long four miles. And as a result today that power ful Crimson boat load is heading for Vie tryouts July 7, 8 and 9 at Wor chester with the sudden realization that it can go the 3000 metres Olym pic sprint distance as fast as any crew.

'L F (Continued from Page One.) effect, but it was generally accepted by growing numbers of delegates that Tammany would Jump at the chance to put a winner across the line. ' Encouraged by the pronouncements of Newton D. Baker, John W. Davis and James M. Cox, all opposing any tampering now with the two-thirds nominating rule, the enemies and rivals of Roosevelt prepared for a non-quarter reslatence. The Roosevelt men, after another close count of noses, reasserted they had the votes to set aside the two thirds requirement, and nominate their man by a simple majority. James A. Farley, the Roosevelt man ager, declared the New York gover nor was In full sympathy with what his followers were doing. Both the Baker and Cox statements against altering the much-urged rule were made In Ohio. Davis gave the same view on arriving here. He said Its abandonment at this time would "be a great mistake both on behalf of the party and on behalf of the candidate who benefited by It." Hectic Scene In "Chi" More than ever, candidates row m the Congress hotel presented a color splashed, hectic and stuffy scene as delegates and visitors, newsmen and messengers, candidates, and their relatives Jostled to and fro through the day and evening. Committees met here and there, governors and senators exchanged hurried whispers while edging down the four or five main massed corri dors, press conferences attended by scores of reporters went on one after another. Farley radiated his usual confi dence In his parry of question and answer with newspapermen this time setting 650 votes as the figure by which his crew would win botti the two thirds rule dispute and that over the permanent chairmanship. See Easy Victory With 578 a majority, if" the Farley expectations are borne out, the Rooeeveltlaris will go straight thru, doing as they wish from the time of the opening gavel Monday and prob ably adjourning by Saturday. But Alfred E. Smith and the other "antis" on the scene continue to challenge Farley's optimism; claim ing the two-thirds requirement will be kept and what's more once that Is done Roosevelt will not be able to get the 770 that then will be needed to nominate. night at the Armory and every world war veteran Is urged to attend. Plans for the national convention in Port land will be discussed and other matters of importance Including the court house dedication will be pre sented during the business session. A special musical program will be put on by Legionnaire Reg Flfer, following the business meeting. A cordial invitation is extended all visiting Legionnaires by Post Com mander Wilson Wait. .
