23 Sarazen's Play in L. I. Open Illustrates Insecurity of Big Early Lead THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1929. Quintet of Golfing Brothers in L. I.

Open BELL FACES REAL Grevel Acker Scores Upset in Yonkers Gene's 67 Put Him Far In Front, but Mac Smith Quickly Overhauled Him By RALPH TROST. There's no safe lead in golf. That was clearly demonstrated at the Salisbury links yesterday when Gene Sarazen, former open and P. G. A.

champion, gained a four-stroke advantage on the field at the end of the first round in the Long Island open only to slide back into a position six strokes behind the leader after 36 holes of play. You would probably have bet your last nickel that no one in the field, not excluding Macdonald Smith, could gain ten shots on the little Fresh Meadow pro in a single round. But that's exactly what hap-0 ed out. Only 60-odd will play to Tennis Title Play (Special to The Eagle.) Yonkers, N. Aug.

7 Although only six matches were played yes terday in the Yonkers City cham pionship tennis tournament, this number was sufficient to account for the most eventful day thus far on the courts of the South Yonkers Tennis Club. Two seeded players were eliminated, while one reached the semi-final round. The mast im portant development was the bursting into prominence of a former national boys' indoor champion. Grevel Acker of Forest Hills, the 1921 winner of the boys' indoor crown, sprung the day's biggest upset when he defeated Dick Winfleld, a seeded player, 7 5, 4 6, 63, Winfleld, a Brooklynlte, and for sev eral years singles champion of the Flatbusn Tennis League, was never quite able to pierce Acker's deceptive attacK, ana altnougn winiieia evened the score by winning tne second set. Acker maintained a safe lead throughout the final set.

Eddie Jenkins, seeded No. 3, gained the semi-final round by best ing Arthur S. Fowler in a neatea three-set encounter, 97, 26, 3. Jenkins will rest until Saturday be fore getting into nction again. Richard Lowell was the other seeded man to be eliminated.

Paul Martin defeated Lowell, 64, 36, 6 2. Martin will play aeain todny in a quarter-final round match, meeting Eugene McCaulifT, seeded No. 2. McCaulifT reached the quarter-final round by downing the veteran Stephen Briibans, 63, 6 3. Summaries: Second round Stephen BrubRns defeated C.

M. Mlllen, 60. 80. Third round Jerome Minster defeated Earle Bnc'ke. 6 1, 4 6, 6 Orevel Acker deleated Dick Winfleld, 75.

Burrows, won the Otifo Club's sevcntli annual doubles lawn tennis championship tournament played on the Prospect Park grass courts, defeating Anthony J. Wildmann and Edward J. Ryan, club champion combination of 1926, in the final round match at 75, 75, 64. This is the fourth time that McCauley has been a winner of this event, having won in 1927 with "Lefty" Wildmann and in 1923 and 1924 with Daniel J. Bradley.

It is the first time since 1925 that "Lefty" Wildmann has not been victorious in Otlfo's doubles, having won last year with Frank Hasbrouck and in 1925 with his brother, William L. Wildmann. in addition to his wins in 1926 with Ryan and in 1927 with McCauley, BAY RIDGE REGATTA. The Bay Ridge Yacht Club will hold its 15th annual regatta in Oravescnd Bay Sunday afternoon. Fifty speed boats and cruisers are scheduled to compete.

In the Long Island open golf championship which is being concluded today at the Salisbury Country Club, Salisbury Plains, five brothers are among the competitors. Those who are eager to dub everything unusual as a record will probably seize upon this as a world's record for brothers' participation In 1 the same tournament. They are the Siymanskl boys) sons of the caddie-master at the Oakland Golf Club, Bayside. Their mother and their sister also are devotees of the game. As pictured above the brothers from left to right are Lewis, 25 years old; Ted, 23; Bill, 22; Watson, 18, and Charlie, 16.

Bassford Defeats Hebard in Quaker Ridge Net Tourney (Special to The Eagle.) New Rochelle, N. Aug. 7 A young lad from Hartsdale by the name of Henry Bassford was the sensation of yesterday's play in the Quaker Ridge Junior champlonsMp tournament at the New Rochelle tennis courts. The Westchester TEST IN HARRISON Holder of Meadow Club Title Must Eliminate Northwestern Champ. (Special to The Eagle.) Meadow Club, Southampton, L.

Aug. 7 Berkeley Bell, the dynamic Austin, Texas, holder of the Meadow Club invitation title, will meet his first serious threat of dethronement today in Bradshaw Harrison, the diminutive Tacoma, Tacifie Northwest champion, who won the Atlantic Coast title Monday at Ocean City. N. J. This is Harrison's first invasion of tho East, and he has already proved himself a dangerous man.

In addition to his Pacific Northwest singles and doubles rating, he is also No. 3 in the California rank ing. Since his arrival in these parts he has beaten some good men and has been beaten by better ones who at least knew they had been in a fight after the smoke cleared away. In disposing of R. R.

T. Young oi the Oxford-Cambridge team in straight sets. 6 4, 61, he created a highly favorable impression. Whether Boll or Harrison wins o- dav, the winner will face a stiff engagement in the following match where the probable opponent win be the No. 1 man of the Oxford- Cambridge team, N.

Q. Farquhar son, who is really an Australian, and played on their Davis Cup team, provided he can dispose of Tamlo Abe, the Japanese Davis Cup player. Bell is exceedingly anxious to retain this title, but of tho nine Eng lishmen entered there arc still three left in the running, and at least three of these look dangerous. They are H. W.

"Bimny" Austin, England's ace and the man who put out Frank Hunter at Wimbledon to reach the quarter finals; N. O. Farnuhnrson and J. S. OllifT, Eng land's indoor singles titleholder.

This tournament has reached the stage when those who like to base their predictions on the early rounds are busy on the porch nf the clubhouse after the day's play. John Docg is Tills morning the favorite, with Fritz Mercur second choice, and the present titleholder, Bell, third choice with few supporters. Play today in the many important matches is likely to radically change the betting odds, particularly if tho Englishmen show greater strength as they becomp better accustomed to the playing surface and conditions. SOCCER TONIGHT. The final pre-season exhibition soccer game will be played at the Polo Oroiiids tonight at 8 o'clock, when the New York Nationals meet the combined Hakoah-Wandeer eleven.

PROGRESS 0 1 AT SOUTHAMPTON Missed Putt Kept Dad's Purse Shut Pocono Mountains, Aug. 7 Miss Adrienne Bancher of Brooklyn, who last year set a new woman's record of 86 for the 18 holes of the Pocono Manor golf course here, broke this record with a score of 80 in the annual Fredcick L. Holden tournament for women. This one contest, however, she admits was the most expensive she ever played. Just before the opening of the match her father, E.

H. Bancher, enthusiastic over his daughter's golf, announced he would present her with a decidedly generous purse if she succeeded in "breaking" 80. Until the seventh green was reached her playing was almost perfect and it seemed the money was hers. Here, however, she was confronted with an unusually long putt. She played and missed.

The remaining holes were made in par but although she had established a new record and continues club champion, her father's checkbook remained in his pocket. Pair Play 75 Games In Edison Net Tourney In the longest match yet witnessed in the Brooklyn Edison Club tennis tourney, B. E. Carter last night gained the semi-final round at the Montgomery Royal Courts, defeating James Comly after five sets and 75 games. The score was 10 8, 7 9, 108, 79, 61.

Neither player seemed to possess enough power to sew up tho tussle until the last set, when Comly showed signs of exhaustion. Carter then walked through his opponent, winning easily by 6 to 1. AIJTO RACES AT SPEEDWAY. The Metropolitan Auto Race Drivers Association will conduct a series of auto races at Deer Park Speedway, Sunday afternoon.

JIIIj! Grip Employed Playing From Rough F0 'CHICK ROUGH GRIP MA6H1K- 'W0 AM H0M9 1E.ACH HANO- W'4 LOOSE. tl By SOL METZGER. Fred Brand, pro at Allegheny C. where Miss Virginia Wilson of Chicago recently shot a record- oreaKing round of 71 against a womejsrs par of 79, knows how to teach recovery shots from heavy rough. Allegheny's a 1 a are unea wltn a growth that it would take a giant to dig through in a normal way with an iron.

The trick is the grip. On nor mal shots it is firm, with the heels of the hands pressed against the leather. Also a left-arm swing. Fred's stunt for getting out of this lour-wheel break rough is to srio a lofted iron, say a No. 3, with the nrst two nngers and thumbs of your two hands, talre the club back with the right and hit down and through with all you have.

me right-hand backswinir lifts the club up more direct and thus makes you miss cutting a great many blades of grass and weeds on the downswing. And the forefingers grip gives you exaggerated wrist action at contact. Tomorrow-Stance for long iron. Great golfers are great drivers.

THE SEMI-ANNUAL REDUCTION OF WHITEHOUSE HARDY SHOES pened. Gene-ot going like a house afire on the first nine in Jhe morning, registering a 31 for the outward nine of the No. 3 course. That gave him a swell start which ho backed up with a good, if not as spectacular, 36, even par, coming In, making a total of 67. Mac Smith, playing the tightly bunkered, stiffer No.

4 course, was out in 34 but consumed 37 strokes coming In for a 71. No. 3 Wide Open As the Prairies. No. 3 course is undoubtedly easier than No.

4. No. 3 is as wide open as the prairies, and, for the most part, leaves little to De overcome but distance, and that's something hitters like Sarazen just love. There are some bunkers, of course, but not many. Compared with the No.

4 course, where each green is set in a cluster of whiskered sand traps, No. 3 is little more than a breeze. But for all this width, latitude and what have you, it takes good golf to score on the layout if only for the reason that it is so open that it's seldom you get anything to serve as a marker. However, there's no doubt that No. 4 is the stiffer layout.

And when the wind blows as it did yesterday, it's a great deal more difficult. In the afternoon, the boys switched courses. Sarazen played No. 4, while Mac Smith stayed this side of Motor parkway and played No. 3.

After the first nine holes were played, Smith, who had been four strokes behind Gene at the start of the nine, was five shots ahead. He picked up just one more during the afternoon, that on the inwara nine. Gene Always Off To the Right. What happened to Gene? It seemed to this writer that the little brown-clad chap from Fresh Meaaow was not allowing sufficiently for the wind in the afternoon. Maybe it was that his successes in the morning made him cocky.

Pos sibly it was that he didn't believe the wind to be as strong as it actually was. However, it remains a fact that he was bunkered with his second shot on the second hole, which trap was to the right of the green. That expedition cost him on an easy par 4 hole. On the third, played with the wind. Gene was again trapped nd again to the rignt.

He lost notn ing here but was nevertheless off line with his second shot. He was bunkered on the fifth to the right, played his third shot from the sand on the 7th from the bunker behind the right side of the green. Gene played his second shot from the rough grass just beyond- the minicer to the leit of the ninth fair way, that being the side to which the wind might "have blown it. Gene Never Played Faster. There is the way Sarazen dropped his shots.

He played well from the sand, and swiftly. George Duncan with his "miss-'em-quick" tactics could have learned few thing3 from watching Sarazen. Gene got in and out of the bunkers so fast that one hardly was aware he had been down in them. Yes, he cer tainly played well from the sand. But he couldn't hole his putts for pars.

Meanwhile, Mac Smith was over on No. 3 course giving his fairly large gallery quite a thrill. Mac started by hitting a 300-yard drive wun tne wind down the first lair way which gave him an easy spade second to the green, 150 yards away. He laid that shot ud within 10 feet of the hole. He dropped the putt for what the score-card insists is an eagle 3.

From that point on to tne turn Mac man nave a nut of more than 10 feet on any hole, That's golf. Even you or I might ring up a 31 if we could ret tha close in two on every hole of par3 or par a.

And, as Usual in these Long Island opens, there are two men battling for the lead with a few more just behind struggling lor second place. Last year was an exception to this rule.

This year isn't. starts out six snots in front. Gene is next in line. Ernest Ca-tropa, former caddy, is in a tie for third position at 147, with Ned Frey, Jimmy Conologue, Bill Klein, Rudy Kotash and Peter Ladislaw are tied at 149. Whiffie Cox and George Voigt are tied at 150.

If Sarazen uncorks another ragged round on No. 4 course today, he'll find it hard keeping in front of Cox and Klein. They're good finishers! In the last Long Island championship that Gene won, Cox was 10 shots behind him at the end of the first round, but even though still 10 strokes in fie rear when the last putt was holed out, he finished in second place. Maybe thats ominous or something. Cox was exactly ten strokes behind Sarazen at the end of the first round this morning.

Cox's Trip to Cabbage Patch Costly. Cox's first-round 77 hurt. He'll have to play the same sort of golf that he displayed at Lido if he expects to get anywhere. That 77 might have been a lot better, particularly had there been a different ruling on a wildly hooked shot on the 7th hole which brought up in a cabbage patch. There being no markers to indi cate an out-of-bounds at this point, whiffy played his second from the furrows and got off a nice shot.

Fortunately, he played another ball from the tee. He scored a o. rne officials decided that Cox should have confined his golf to the golf course, and therefore passed out a two-stroke penalty, loss of stroke and distance. On the No. 4 course in the after noon Whiffy got going, scored a 73 and had tne satisfaction of having gained six strokes on Gene.

This was the second best total turned in for that course. Willie Klein, always looked upon as one who would accomplish much in these Long Island championships, didn't fare so badly. But, neither did he score well. Willie dropped a lot of shots around the greens. Klein, it seems, Just cannot putt on these greens.

A little better putting would have helped him a great deal in the last Long Island open. Certainly, it would have helped yesterday. Cox, certainly no Bobby Jones as a putter, was Willie's master on tle greens. Notes. Young Ernest Catropa, who for merly worked as an assistant for Lou Costello when the latter was pro at Millburn, did well for himself, scoring a 72 on No.

3 and a 75 on No. 4. Catropa has hopes of becoming a real player. He's got rough edges in his game that must be filed off, however. Jimmy Conologue of Brookville, another young pro, did his good work in -the morning, turning in a 71 for No.

3. This was good golf, but dwarfed by Sarazen 67. One bad shot cost George Volgt a lot of strokes. After having been out in 35 and one under par going through the 13th, he couldn't better a 74. It all happened on the 439 yard 17th.

George's drive landed in one of the course infrequent bunkers. He Just about got out in two, whereupon he played into another bunker and lost another shot in the sand. It was the weak drive that started things. After getting out in 5, Voigt took two putts for a 7. A par 4 on that hole would have looked good and would have given him a 71.

instead or a 74. All the play will be on No. 4 course today, which will make it hard for some of the boys. PLAYERS RELEASED. Reb Russell veteran outfielder who was formerly a pitcher, Joined the Quincy Reds last week, after being released by Indianapolis, as am RaiDh Miner another former in.

He does not have to wait until it is caught by the fielder This ruling was made several years ago on account of the practice of some outfielders of Juggling a fly ball on purpose and then claiming that the runner had left his base too soon. It is now a rule that he has a right to leave the bag as soon as the outfielder touches the ball, whether he holds it securely or not.

Sec. 2 of Rule 56 on the putting out of a base-runner says that he is out if the ball be only "momentarily held' by a fielder. The ball does not have to go to sleep in the glove. SCOUTS WATCH BALL. Al Bool, big atcher with Balti more, Is claiming the attention of major scouts.

Before eliminating the Friends Academy player, Bassford got him self into good form by downing H. W. Fletcher, 61. 62. At the conclusion of this match Bassford had reached his best game, and he immediately tackled the Brooklyn star, Bassford was playing with remarkable ease and stroking with deadly accuracy.

Hebard tried his nest, but could not equal Bassford sterling game, and was forced to yield in straight sets. Bassford next opponent will be Harry Moore of White Plains, who reached the semi-final round by defeating Sheldon Morgansterri, 6 1, 64. The City College player was a trifle off his game, and made a poor showing against Moore's su perior tactics.
