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.

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.

CHICAGO, HI., June 9. (AP) The
wheat market somersaulted today,
sweeping upward with the govern
ment's bullish June crop report more
than 4 cents and then flipping back
down on profit taking and news of
rain forecasts for drought areas.
These fluctuations were negotiated
around the dollar a- bushel level.
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. Private experts
recently have said the government's
estimate of the carryover was too
high. ..'.
