Gene Sarazen Fails to Qualify in British Open Golf Tourney __ .■» __ Walter Hagen Qualifies by Single Stroke Five Americans Among Those Who Play Today for British Championship. By Universal Service. TROON, Scotland, June 12,—Sur prises on every hand marked the closing of the qualifying refunds for the British open golf champion ship today, Walter Hagent of New York, present holder of the title, squeezing in by the narrow margin of one stroke after an early 'poor show ing, and- Gene Sarazen, looked upon ps a sure contender being eliminated by one stroke. The Americans who will go into the tournament are Hagen. Johnny Farrell of Quaker Ridge, N. Y.; Leo Piegel of Washington, MacDonald Smith of California and George Aul bach of Boston. ” Sarazen turned in a card of S5 to i»y, a total of 160 for the two days, •lames Barnes of Pelham Manor, N. 1'.. also was eliminated with a score of 160. < Joe Kirkwood, Australian cham pion, now living in the United States, qualified with 152. Vardon and Wethered Out. Among the fallen stars whose poor ■scores kept them out of the meet ■were Harry Vardon, Roger Wethered, •the British amateur champion, and Ajudrey Boomer, the French open '.champion. C. Wingate, C. A. Whitcombe and A. Tingey, all of England, were tied Jfor the lead, turning in 146. ' James Braid, the British veteran, imade the grade easily with 14!). Only 80 persons were to have been .entered in the tournament, but the number of ties at 159 brought the .‘total to 88. I .Hagen got under the wire by turn ■ing in a 77 today and his total was • lea,'so that his entry came by one {sfcgrke. A large gallery followed him today, although his poor showing of ■ S2 yesterday served to dishearten somewhat the most enthusiastic fol lowers of the champion. Yankees Eliminated.

Playing in the rain the American champion topped his drive and went into a bunker, requiring two strokes to get back to the green, and registered an eight for the hole. Steady play after that until the 12th hole Indicated he might still qualify, but at this hole after a drive straight into the face of the hunker, and with plenty of room to play, he tried to carry his shot, and came out 'With a six. Wonderful play toward the end could not overcome the heavy handica p. The steady rain helped t$ keep down the gallery and also affected play, but the survival of the five .Americans promises to bring out a good gathering when the champion ship matches start. Others who qualified included "Sandy" Herd, oldest of the entrants, with 156; Jean Gassiat of France, with 153; Del.aTorre of Spain, with 154, and Ockpnden, 155.

Age heat Kilbane. He failed to train * properly. He held his man too cheaply. He should have got up. He should never have been down He lost track of the referee's count. At the risk of laying ourself open to charges of being a materialist. w» should like to add that the winner of the fight was Eugene 'Criqul—not age. condition, training, tactics, lower mathematics or the right of freeborn Americans to spill cigar ashes on the parlor floor. He won the fight by a clean, one punch knockout; hut that fact doesn't seem to have any particu lar bearing on the situation. Trained Improperly. Instead, it appears to have been a far more Important matter that Kil bane failed to hear the count. We see no reason to temporize with this theory. The fact of a man losing touch with mundane affairs when dipped on the jaw is hardly a nov elty. Equally interesting* is the conten tion that Kilbane trained improperly. We have his personal assurance that he trained for Crlqul along the lines he had always followed in preparing for bouts with other opponents. Both arguments smack strongly of a partiality that declines to give due credit to a clean-cut winner. So does the assertion that age was the abid ing factor. It Is to laugh with the aid of the figurative sleeve. In actual years Kilbane Is M, Crlqul edging 30. In reality the comparison of ages Is like nn oblong viewpoint—all one sided. Criqui took from five to 10 years from his natural life in his de fense of Verdun, as any war veteran wilt affirm. The war aged every man who *aw service overseas, from the canteen worker to the trench dweller of • few months. What of the men who lay for days in fetid, exposed shell holes in front of Verdun, fair game for the sun, the rain, the rats and the shellfire of a concentrated at-, tack? They were the men. half-starved and half clothed, who saved Ver.lun at the point of the bayonet. They were the men who lived by the phrase-' "L'n passe pari” (They shall r.ot pass!) Criqui was one of them until a vagrant bullet burrowed through his face and passed on via the back of his neck, leaving one side of his jaw on the battlefield. But today they tall him young and declare that youth triumphed over age. It is to laugh. With the KNIGHTS — of the GLOVES (■reiit Kalin. Mont..

ROUT New York, June 12.—Jimmy Wilde, world's flyweight champion, and l’ancho Villa, Filipino challenger, are putting the finishing touches to their training this week for the title bout at the Polo grounds next Monday night. Wilde, visited in his Jersey City home today by an International News Service reporter, said he had not given up active training as re ported along Broadway. "That 8 silly,” said Wilde. "The only thing I have given up, is box ing and that is just following a cus tom which I established many year* ago. Why should a man give up a system, for Tom, Dick or Harry when it has worked well in the past?” Villa is training hard at Pompton Lakes.

Fort Crook Noncom Veteran to Retire After a quarter century of military service, First Sergeant Jesse Culley, dean of noncommissioned officers at Fort Crook, has applied for retire ment. Culley has risen from private to top sergeant with an excellent career throughout, as shown in the formal annuals. "The army offers a grand career,'’ said the sergeant yesterday. "I joined In July, 1898, during the Spanish American war. “Old! I don't feel old. I feel about 25, though the calendar tells me I am 58. Hut I think 25 years in the! army is enough.” Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Love’’ Why .Madge Was Able to Distract India's Thoughts From Her Own Problem. I had spent a tense quarter of an hour in the effort to convince Leila Durkee that her husband did not care for Hess Dean, except as he would admire any pretty and witty girl. Hut at her direct appeal to mtc to convince her of Alfred's truth, I flinched for a conscience-stricken sec ond, although I war able to keep Leila in ignorance of my reeling. For I was far from sure just how strong was Alfred’s admiration of Hess Dean's undeniably good looks, keen mentality and fascinating little ways. While I had been annoyed at Dicky's attentions to the girl in hectic days which I remembered only too clearly, yet I had known my Peter Pan far too well to be jealous of him where Bess Dean was concerned. But while I was reasonably sure that I^eila had as little to fear as I, yet I could not rid myself of a hlingering little doubt concerning Olfred's real feelings.

But I schooled my face and voicei so that no hint of my doubt should escape me. and answered Leila with a convincing air of sincerity. Madge Salves Her Conscience. "If all you need to make you the happiest woman alive is my assurance that you have no real cause to hate Bess Dean, you'd better get out your banners to celebrate,” I said. "Now let me bathe your face and put on your shoes. You don't want to let Alfred know that you"have been cry ing." I purposely made my voice brusque to conceal my own emotion at the sight of the Joyous relief which had flooded her face at my assurance. She was so eminently child like in her unquestioning belief of all I had told her, that I chilled with the fear of having lulled her Into a false security. But I salved my conscience with the reflection that almost any deceit was justifiable in her condition of mind and body, and steeled my will to the resolve that I would make my as surances of Alfred's essential fidelity come true if I had to half hill him In the process. She smiled up at me Joyously, and made a pathetic attempt to arrange her hair. “No, indeed, he mustn't see I have been crying." she assented. "I—I suppose I ought to tell him—" “Poor, Poor Mother!* "Don’t tell him anything just now.” T advised, lacing her shoes— "I'll tell Thu why when I've played lady's maid for a few minutes.” That her curiosity would be aroused by my words. I knew, for I had ut tered them with that purpose, and I noted with satisfaction that while I bathed her face and rearranged her hair, she appeared to be debating something with herself. At least I had succeeded in diverting her atten tion, I said to myself with a humor ous remembrance of hearing the ex pression used by a psychologist lectur ing on children's management. And when she was restored to her usual dainty appearance, she finished my analogy by saying natively: "Now, will you -tell me why?" "Because Alfred will be so sorrow ful tonight that he won't be able to KRUG PARK Greatest Outdoor Free Attraction in the World, t Dr. Carver’s Trained Diving Horses And the Hair-Raising.

In the tewest words I could muster, l told her of her mother-in-law's mysterious itilmenW which she had kept from the knowledge of her son and daughter-in-law for fear of wor rying them, of her vis,t with me to Dr. Foxham, of his verdict that an operation would probably be neces sary. and of the fact that Alfred was even now closeted with his mother, after I had told him at her request of her plight. "Oh, poor, poor mother!" Delia wailed when I had finished. “And we never dreamed—the brave, un selfish darling! And poor Alfred! What a selfish girl I've been—think ing only of my own troubles! Don't you think I might go down to them now, so they will know how much I want to help them?" (Copyright. 1123.)
