Open Title CALIFORNIAN ILL OVERCOMES LEAD IN FINAL ROUNDS Triple Tie For Third Place- Goodman, New British Titlist Fails To Show . Many Stars Fade. By Alan Gould (Associated Press Sports Editor) MERION CRICKET CLUB. PHILA DELPHIA, June 9. (JF) Swarthy Olln Dutra, S3-year-old Caltfornlan of Portuguese extraction, who has been so 1U during the past few weeks that he doubted his ability to withstand the tournament strain, shot from the rear today to overhaul a pack of fat terlng pace-setters and win the 1934 open golf championship of the United States. The last man to finish In the en tire field and his deciding shot tho last to be played In the 38th national tournament, Dutra came from behind to whip Gene Sarazen, stock former ohamplon, by a single stroke, 394 to 893 for the regulation 72 holes. For a men who carried his medicine around with him for emergencies and confessed to hating lost twenty pounds from a serious siege of smoe ble dysentery this spring, Dutra play ed like a sharpshooter In the best of health as well as with the stoutest of skill and oourage In a nerve-ting- ling finish. Eight strokes behind the front-running Bobby Crulckshank, at the end of 80 holes, and five shots back of Sarazen at the same time, llutra un furled two sensational rounds today to overhaul them both, with only four holes to go, and then outplayed them decisively down the stretch, Dutra posted successive rounds of 7o-74-71-72 for his victorious total as he carried off the open crown lor tho first time. Sarazen, making a strong bid for his third title, saw It fly from his grasp when he took a weird seven on the 11th hole of the final round, and finished with scores Of 73-73-73-7 for hie 394. In a triple tie for third place with Crulckshank, the Richmond, Ca., pro fessional, who tossed away a gorgeous ehanoe for.trlumDhs todav with 71- 71-77-7 3BS; Whiffy Oox, the Brook lyn veterans, also the victim of some bad luck, and Dghthoreo Harry Coop er of Chicago, who oame out of the pack with one of the day's best 11.1- lihes to wind up with 78-74-71309. Burled almost put of sight In the rush was the departing ichamplon, youthful Johnny Goodman, Omaha amateur, who had flnaA rounds of 83 and 7ff, a grand total of 811 for 73 holes, 18 shots baek(of the winner and In a tie for 43rd place. : Goodman did not even have the satisfaction of being the low ama teur, an honor that finally went to William Laweon Little, Jr., the Stan ford star and new British amateur ohamplon. Little, despite a first round of 83, oame back today with 73 and 78, playing In the Inspiring company of Dutra, and posted a total of 806, one stroke better than Rodney Bliss, Jr., Omaha's other amateur favorite and the former Corbell University fold ohamplon. While the leaders were fighting It out In a desperate, heart-breaking battle, long Tom Greavy of Albany, N. Y., -exposed a spootacular 88 on his final round, four ahote under par, as he alone achloved the distinction of breaking Merlon's '"perfect 78" for the first and only time In the tour. 1 This dazzllmr performance cllnntitl a stroke from the old course record, 87 made by Clark Oorkran, an ama teur, In the qualifying round of the 1934 national amateur championship. and equalled the open ohamplonshlp low scoring mark, set by Sarazen In 1933 and equalled last year by Gild man and Walter Hagen. Outside of Cooper, whose earlier 398 loomed steadily bigger as the af ternoon wore on, no one else mode any serious threat for the title. Al though two campalgnere, BUI Burke of Cleveland and MacDonald Smith of Nashville, staged brisk finishes to tie for sixth place at 398. Smith oame through with one of the few par equalled scores, a 70. After Burke shot a 73 for his final round. The carnage among the "big games" of golfdom was terrific While Le.'j Dlrgel and Horton Smith "blew up" Just when they hod ohances to chal lenge the leaders, such other favorites as Paul Runysn and George von Elm barely gained the qualifying circle for next year's open championship with 807 each. This was the qualify ing limit, for the first 30 and tlss, beyond which were Goodman and Denny Shute, the British open cham pion, with 811; Tommy Armour of Chicago, with 814! Walter Hagen and Johnny Farrell, 818 each.

Phone 390 BAER PRONOUNCED FIT FOR GO WIT PRIMO BY MEDICS NEW YORK, June 9. (AP) Prlmo Csrners's heavyweight championship defense attacks Max Beer was back on ths tracks today after a one-day derailment: the fighters returned to work; Jimmy Johnston and his Msdlson Square Garden conferees were smiling again, and onlv Bill Brown looked askance at the whole business. Examined by three physicians res. terday after his apparent condition had been the subject of widespread adverse criticism, Baer waa pro nounced fit to challenge big Prlmo for the title In the Garden Long Island bowl next Thursday night. Thus the bout will go on as sched uled but those most closely connected will be more careful with their ef forts to build up nubllo Interest in It. Jack Dempsey'a declaration on Wednesday thst Baer had failed to round Into satisfactory condition and his Intimation that a week'e post ponement would be sought started out to be a simple ballyhoo stunt. But It developed into something far more serious when Brown, member of the New York state athletic com mission, decided he'd look over the challenger and see for himself. Now that the excitement Is over. the promoters may find It all was for the best. An axiom of the box ing bualness says that It doean't mat ter what you may aay about a fight bo long as you make sure It's talked about. Johnston told newsnaner men that the developments of the past three days had cost the Garden about $50, 000, but added that the advance sale had touched $190,000. That would indicate a "gate" somewhere around $450,000 when the fighters enter the ring. Hal Height takes his Medford Rogues to Grants Psss today to tangle with Ken Williams' Oront Pas Mer chants and valley baseball fans wit ness, not only a game which has for it stake the Southern Oregon League leadership, but a game between the bitterest baseball rivals to take the field against each other In southern Oregon in msny years. Just when the Intense rivalry be gan, no one knowa for sure but It probably datea back to the time when Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls were hooked up In a league that had an Oregon talklrg; when Curt Davis woe flsahlng his curve past everyone and when, with but two league gamea remaining to Be played, every team was tied In the percentages. That was In 1938 to be exact and since then and until this year, Med ford has been unable to defeat their most hated rivals, Grants Pass. This year though, Medford has had sweet revenge. In a pre -season game the Rogues downed Grants Psss 4-0 behind MoLean's brilliant pitching and also won a league game by an overwhelming score. Grants Pass evened the league count by taking a 3-1 decision at Grants Pass In the opener. To say that both teams ore the class of the Southern Oregon league Is sn established fsct. They hsve been run ning neck end neck since opening day and until their meeting todav, nave not played each other for five weeks.

Soon after trading started, July de liveries reached a high of $1.04 '4, almost 4 cents up, and then before the short session ended sank to 9&VAt closing at 98-, less than a cent above Friday's finish. December got up to $1.05, but finished 3 cents lower, about a cent above the pre vious close. The government's crop outlook as of June 1, having been announced after trading Friday, was the moving factor in the early buying rush. It forecast a prospect of the smallest total United States wheat crop In 41 years, estimated at 125.000,000 bushels less than needs for domestlo consumption. Whereas the total crop last year waa 527,000,000 bushels, which was below normal, this year's production was estimated at 500,000,000. Some traders asserted that the American carryover, estimated at 250,000,000 bushels, would be reduced because of the 1934 shortage.
