In the last three years, University of California, coached by Walter Christie, has won the eastern meet, an accomplishment of which the Bears might well feel proud. pastern Athletes Will Be Busy Performances registered in the eastern intercollegiate held at Philadelphia were no better than those made in other parts of the country and plainly Indicate the Far East may experience some trouble in winning, its share of the contests. WThile it is true California won but one first in the Far East, Coach Christie had enough team balance to score heavily in the field events by winning second, third and fourth places. Whether his performers are strong enough to win their quota of first places in the national remains to be seen, as the Bears will receive stiff competition from athletes the western and Missouri Valley con ferences. In the' eastern meet the 100-yard dashSi was won by Lever of Pennsylvania in 8-10.

Erwin of Kansas Aggies tdok the same event in the Missouri Valley games in :09 9-10. Tyle of Purdue, Ayres and Evans of Illinois nd Spetz of Wisconsin -are expected to better this time. The furlong went to Love-joy of Cornell in the eastern set of games in :21 4-5 and Erwin ot Kansas Aggies took the race in the valley meet In :21 5-10. This time should be bettered by Evans and. Ayres of Illinois and Tyle of Purdue.

1 Syracuse Has Star. The quarter mile went to Woodring of Syracuse in tU: eastern event in 2-5 and to Bier of Washington in the Missouri Valley in :49 8-10. Wilson of Iowa and Sw-eet of Illinois have made better time on several occasions this year. Reinke of Michigan is expected to come close to the time of 1:55 8-10 made by Hellfrich of Pens State in the Eastern meet and 1:56 6-10 made by Gardener of Nebraska in the Valley meet held at Ames. Kirby of Cornell should take the mile if he attends the Chicago meet.

He won the event in the East in 4:17 4-5. which is better than any! college miler in tho Middle West can do. Booth of Johns Hopkins won the two-mile run at Philadelphia In 9:35 which should be bettered by Isbell of Michigan. There is little to choose between the high hurdles of the various sections. None have topped the 120-yard barriers in better than :15 1-5 and this event is anybody's race.

Hills of Princeton should take the shot put if he comes to Chicago. His mfirk of 47 feet, 84 inches is much better tharrany other college man in tho country has done. The same is true of Tootell of Bowdoin in the hammer who has a mark of 1S1 feet, OVi Lieb of Xotre Dame and Piatt of the University of Washington have better marks thanx thoso established in either the Eastern or Missouri Valley meets.

Both will be at the Chiaago games. Th javelin throw- should result iv cL 11 in itii caiing tuiucai irLvvirtrri of Illinois and Storrs of Yale if the latter competes. Storrs threw the spear 190 feet, 1 Inch in the Eastern meet while Angier holds the National record of over 200 feet in the event. The pole vault will result in some Interesting competition and Some vaulter should do better than 13 feet. Norris' of California and Owen of Pennsylvania tied in the Eastern meet at 12 feet.

9 Inches. Rogers of Kansas did 12 feefc, 6 inches to win the event in the valley meet. Brooker and Prosser Michigan and Collins and P.rownell Qf Illinois are capable of clearing these heights. Hubbard Choice in Broad Jump. Comins of Yale did 24 feet 4 inches In the broad jump at Philadelphia.

Hubbard of Michigan has the best chance to beat the Blue athlete If the latter competes. The running high jump will bring about some stiit competition between Brown of Part-mouth, Poor of Kansas, Muller of California. McEllven of Michigan, Smith of Illinois and Donahue and Flatten of Wisconsin. All are capable of doii'iK 6 feet, 3 inches and better. It a majority of tho winners of the various events in the sectional lnter-collegiates come to Chicago on June 15 and 16, the greatest meet in the history of collegiate track and field athletics should result.

CUP IV SENSATIONAL There were several others back of the Britons, who appeared capable of bettering or at least tying their mark. But. one by one they skidded, and eventually the field narrowed down to where Ouimet, then a lad of 19, was the solo chance to overhaul the two leaders. On this occasion Ouimet came to the fifteenth tee, needing to play the last four holes in a total of 14 strokes to tie the Britons, where par for the four totaled 15. It looked like a forlorn hope.

He almost lost a stroke at the fifteenth, but saved himself by a masterly approach, and sank his putt for a par 4. The short sixteenth netted him his three and then at the seventeenth, he made his successful bid. Home in two, he ran down a long putt that hit the hack of the cup and dropped in for a birdie 3 A par 4 on the home hole woul then turn the trick. He got it by virtu" of holinr a putt of some three or four feet, as calmly as though he were merely playing for the fun of the thing, instead of having a National title a', How he beat Varden by five strokes and Ray by six in the p'nv-off the following day is still a highlight in American golfing history. Yet the fact remains that his in the fourth round, where he met the issue, when the issue involved playing the last four holes of his round a stroke under par.

was the most glittering gem in his crown of victory. So at St. Andrews, in the late team matches, even though he failed to win his match outright, that performance of his over those last three holes of his great match with Roger Wethered. again looms as one of the masterpieces of competitive golf from an America" tandpoint. Westinghouse Clerks To Watch Pirates Saturday afternoon 2,100 member of the Fartory Clerks' Association of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company will be at Forbes Field to show their respects to the Pittsburgh baseball club and 4 their utmost In cheering tr Pill McKeehnle's Pirates on to a victory over MoOrpw's Giants.

This will consist 13 holes medal play. There will be flights for all of the players who filter. The entries will not be con-V fined alons to the Pittsburgh district. but there will be players from Toungstown, Erie. Oil City and other i points.

Mrs. J. Raymond Price, the Pennsylvania titleholder, is and she Is picked as the fa- of the totlrnament. She has been playing- fine golf this spring-, and when she Is playing- her game, she, is -ji hard player to down. The ellmioa-.

tion rounds start on Wednesday, said i the finals will be reached on Friday. Only one round will be played on each day, as 3S holes on a single day Is too strenuous for the women. Initial Tourney. This fs the first tournament that has ever been held at the "Riverside course. although the men have been holding tourneys there for years.

The course there Is one of the finest in the Western Pennsylvania district Snd serves as a 1 fine test of golf. Nine new holes have been added to the course, but these, will not be ready for play this week and will not be opened until later in; the month. A new club house Js also under the course of construction. The Allegheny juntry Club toprna-ment opens on "Wednesday with the playing of the qualifying round, which con-. sists of-36 holes medal play, 13 holes be-i trig played In the morning and the sec-.

ond, round of 13 holes in the afternoon. The Se wick ley Heights club was the pioneer golf club here to stage an invitation tournament, and the competi- tion is one of the most popular events of i the entire season. It haa grown to such proportions that It has become necessary to restrict the entrants to players to whom invitation are extended. 1 This became necessary some years ago, a it was found impossible to accommo- date all of the players who wished to play. This Is the practice which Is fol-- lowed In? thKast.

where entries have increased solapidly that the invitation system was inaugurated. Practically all of the stars from among the ranks of the local players will be on hand for the tournament. There Is something distinctive about the tournaments at the Allegheny Country Club and an enjoyable time is had by the players who enter there. When it I tones to entertaining their guests the masnbera of the Allegheny Club are with-t trt peers. There is no more picturesque 'spot In this country than this club, and the vista which is affoBtled is unrivaled anywhere.

The new holes which have been built at the club will be In use during the tournament. Changes have been made to the links since the close of last season. Elimination Bounds. The elimination, rounds start on Thursday morning, when the flMt match play round will be taken up. The second will be held in the afternoon.

On morning the semifinals will have been reached, while the finals will be I staged In the afternoon. It is expected that there will be nearly 100 players oh hand for the tournament. Keeplng in pace with the other golf clans in this district the Country Club of Pittsburgh, which has it course on Beechwood boulevard, has started extensive improvements. The entire course will be rebuilt, and work has already been commenced. The con-''.

tract for making- the change, which entails building nine new greens, In- stalling traps and bunkers, ing new fairway3. and grading away some of the hillside, has been given to. Emil T. LiOeffler, the Oakmont greenkeeper, and John McGlynn. the well-known golf course architect.

Ixieffler and McGlynn have formed a partnership and are engaged in the construction of golf courses, this he- ing the second loal contract they have received in competition with some of the leading golf construction companies in this country. The Country Club some months ago purchased additional land adjoining thje club property at a cost of $173,000 and most of this, is being used in building new holes and lengthening some of the holes. A plan was afoot to build an 18-hoIe course with the new land which was purcha'sed. but after careful consideration and after consulting with Loeffler and McGlynn it was decided to build nine good holes. It was found that It was m- practicable to build IS holes and make them good holes.

The members de-i cided that they would rather have nine good holes than an 18-hole course with some of the holes being Inferior, i When completed the new course will 7 he one of the I sportiest nine-hole courses in thij district. Brand New Home. A new clubhouse to supplant the present building will also be built, and will be rtady for use by the time the new course is completed. Some of the new greens and fairways are already built and the work on the other holes will be rushed to completion. There is more golf played at the Country Club course than on any ether links in this city.

One reason for its popularity is its accessibility, as It can be reached in a comparative short time from the downtown section, and there Is riot the time lost getting to the links and returning home after the players have finished their round, that there Is playing at the courses which are situated in the remote locations. It is nothing unusual to" have from 150 to 200 players on the course on a single day. The i average attendance this spring has been 100, which is considered remarkable in view of the adverse weather which was encountered at times this spring. This record cannot be duplicated by any other club here. Pittsburghers are Interested in the new golf course which is being built mi Bedford Springs.

players who have visited the-- place this sprint; pronounce it one of the finest link3 In America. Eleven new holes have been built, while the seven liest of the old layout will be used. The course was designed by Donald Ross, who was enthusiastic over the opportunities for building ral golf holes that the land used afforded. It will be unrivaled for scenic splendor, as it nestle among the slopes of the mountains, and mountain streams flow through it. Virgin forests had to be cleared to build some of the new holes.

One of the features of the course is the diversity of shots that will be afforded playing over. Not This Season. Some of the fairways are fringed with trees. There will be an abundance of water holes on the course. The new links will measure over 6,500 yards In length.

It is not expected that the new holes will be ready for play this season, as the course will not be opened until there has 'been a fine growth of turf developed and the grass on the greens given an opportunity to develop. It is proposed to have the course ready fcr play by the time that the new $1,000,000 clubhouse, which is in course course will be used this spring and summer. It is in better shape than ever before, especially the greens. M. C.

Sweeney, the president of the club, announced this week that the annual invitation tournament will be held in August, as In former years. This tournament has always proved popular with the local golfers and it is a fixture on the golf calendar. The friends of Gene Sarazen. the United States open professional golfers' match play champion and also the holder of the informal world's championship title, were elated over his feat in winning the northern British golf championship, adding another title to his already growing collection. He beat out most of the players who will compete in the British open championship.

This was the first big tournament that he has won since glorious victory over Walter Hagen at Oakmont on the Westchester-Biltmore course last fall for the world's championship The night of his triumph 'Sarazen was stricken with an attack of appendicitis and he had to undergo an operation. This affected his play and he did not help matters any by starting out on his exhibition tour two months after the operation. But the youngster displayed Judgment when he found himself going poorly last winter and canceled all of of construction there, is completed. This, will be next spring. In the meanwhile the old nine-hole his engagements and rested up so that he could regain his strength.

That he is his old self again was shown by his winning the north British title. Walter Hagen was leading Sarazen by two strokes at the end of the first 36 holes, but this did not perturb the young champion. He again displayed that he has the ability to come from behind, which, after all. is the real test of any champion, and when the 72 holes were over he was leading Hagen by two strokes. Coming down the stretch, Hagen faltered, while Sarazen rose to his greatest heights.

Gene Still Shines. "While there was no- big title at stake in the tournament, nevertheless it served to demonstrate that Sarazen has come back and, what is more, proved that he is not a flash. Despite his remarkable achievements last year, there have been many whd have been reluctant to give Gene the credit that is due him. There was nothing lucky about his achievements last year, and he demonstrated that he is one of the greatest golfers in the history of golf. Any player who can win four championships in one season, defeat the greatest golfers in the world both at match play and medal play is no flash.

He won the Southern open chanpon- shin, the Cnlted States ooen rhan.nlnti 46hip tne professional golfer's match play title, ami also the informal worltf's championship crown, and also beat Walter Hagen, Jock Hutchison. Jim Barnes, Emmett French, Bobby Crulkshank and others singled handed in match play competition. Where is there another golfer In the history of golf who can boast of sucli an achievement as Sarazen? Still some do not want to give him the credit that Is due him. Some say that Hagen is a greater golfer than Sarazen. The former probably has more style and finish to hia play, but Sarazen last year outdrove him In the 72 holes match they waged for the world's championship, he had a better approach shot to the green, and what is more he outgamed him.

Gene proved that he was a stout hearted golfer by his ability to come from be hind Hagen. in his match with Sarazen. faltered when he was closely pressed. and when the supreme test came little Gene proved that he was his master. "The reason that Hagen has been beating most of his opponents has been due to the fact that they were beaten before they started," Sarazen remarked to the writer while the big match with Hagen was on.

"He does not frighten me any. He never had an opponent who would stick to him when he was lead ing. I am supremely confident of my ability to beat Hagen in a long match. It Is true mat he Is enjoying an ad vantage over me now, but he has hal the breaks while they have been going against me. Tomorrow I will be due to get ti.em.

I will be getting some of the long putts that have been hanging on the lip of the cup for me." Sarazen's stitement was borne out by subsequent development. Wait until Sarazen Is as old as Hagen is and he will be the Mylist also that the British title holder is. Hagen did not have the polish and finish to hint when he broke in the game iie does now. It will be good news to the many friends of Jack Dingwall to learn that theie has been improvement in his condition C. K.

was the medalist in the qualifying round for th match play trophy, turning in a card with a net score of 66. This was two strokes better than that of Walter W. Williams who finished second with a 6S. The 16 low scores qualified for the match play and that he is waging a courageous battle with the malady that his stricken him. Dingwall sails for England on June 23 on the S.

S. Olympic and he will not return until next spring. The officials of the Stanton Heights Golf Club have extended him a leave of absence with full pay for the remainder of tTe season, as to enable him to return to his old hofiie and there recover his health amid the scenes of his boyhood days. Dingwall is one of the most popular golfers in this district. He is one of the pioneers here.

During his absence Iambert Flinn, his nssistant, will be in charge at the Stanton Heights Golf Club. He has taken over th shop and Is also giving lessons. Flinn has been with Dingwall for several seasons and is a fine club maker and a good teacher. The Stanton Heights Club is fortunate In having a young pro of the ability of Flir.n to fall back on. He is proving a capable substitute for Dingwall.

There Is much complaint being heard over the run down condition of the Schenley Park course, and something should be done to save the popular course fact th; money permitted ia rinnA It Will ISo lltlRt TAP I plav. espite the fact that it was known that the power mowers were out of repair last fall already nothing was done towards having them repaired, with the result that the opening of the season found them out of repair. The grass is growing high out on the fairways while the greens are also in horrible condition. The average fairways of some of the local golf clubs are better than some of the greens at Schenley Park. Rain Is Needed.

Bare spots are appearing all Over the course, and the grass is dying from the failure to use fertilizer on it and plant new seed. The course is not receiving the attention that it should and steps should be taken to remedy conditions. A course that is used as extensively as the public links is should rece'ive some attention from a competent green- keeper. There is not a links in this district that is subject to as much hard usage as the Schenley Park course. The free course has never been in as poor condition as it is at present, and in- stead of gettin better, things are The poor condition of the course was brought to light during the qualifying rounds to determine the team which will represent the city In the Public Dinks championship tournament at dfii nif lui 1 uic ift 1 1 pan ti tne month.

Instead of being a test of golf skill it developed in competition of luck You had to have luck to make any kind 1 of a score over the course. The players using the course should get together a committee and make a protest over the existing condition to the city authorities. G. II. Xet.

Kobin.ion tivd fru second tret nti OF WALKER HIS WORK NEW YORK, June 2. In spite of the fact that his effort netted nothing better than a drawn match. Francis Oui-met proved the most heroic figure of the American side of the international Walker cup golf matches at St. Andrews. For aside from the numerical result of the match his performance had a more far reaching effect.

He was pitted against the newly-crowned British champion, Roger Wethered, the two occupying the No. 1 position in their teams, and the moral eft'ect'of holding the British leader to a tie was, helpful to other members of the American team. But even beyond this there is a further consideration that made Ouimet's play a thing cf" inspiration. 11 was forced to cover the St. Andrew's course i in a total of 70 strokes, and his great another heroic occasion in which he thwarted a British attack in golf.

At St. Andrews he walked to the sixteenth tee two down with but three to play with his opponent traveling like a house afire. Far on the three, remaining holes was four for each, and Wethered succeeded in holing in those figures. But Ouimet sank a birdie 3 at the sixteenth after a fine. approach, and then after halving the seventeenth, ran down a putt of some 12 feet or more, in which he was partially stymied, to bag -another birdie 3 and win the home hole, while squaring the match.

It is almost years since he made a similar finish at Brookline. where British golfers were also blocking his way. On that occasion. Harry Vardon and Ted Ray, two crack British professionals, had already finished out their strings in the United States open, tying at 304 each for the 72 holes of play.
