Gene Sarazen, the king himself, set

world championship throne of golf
today with the greatest finish in all
the history of the game.
With a spurt that left the galler

came down the stretch like a Man

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

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.

The defending champion, Bill

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

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,

TO EASY VICTORY
NEW LONDON, Conn., June 26.
AP) The old whaling town took
In Its flags today, the annual regatta
day gone for another year. 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.

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

to get the 770 that then will be
needed to nominate.
