Dec. 20--(AP)-—Wal- ter Hagen, golfing veteran who won every major professional and open championship from i913 to 1932, believes the steady year- round tournament grind of today has "cut ‘the playing career oi. the average links star almost by half." "I d0n’t moan that the steady. pressure play of tournaments weeki after week is detrimental to the garlic." the 53-year-old "Halg" said in an interview! “Quite the contrary. l "As u matter of fact, it's my opinion llllli. today's year-round championship play is as much re- sponsible as improved equipment nnd better groomed courses have been in bringing steadily lower winning scores for all the major championships. “But the unending. day-ailer- day prcssllvo of your-round play, plus 0\‘t‘i‘-FX('l'l.li)l\ of constantly slugging the bull for dlsiuncr. provides such constant mental and that present-day stars will bc fortunate to stand yup under i-hc pace for as long lls l0 years."

John Cameron, bar- Iber. Robert Wood and Hammond Kelly mentioned as participants ill practically every winter's rac- ing. In the 1800's they raced to lisht cutter and the distance was one mile. ‘rhea it was reduced to one-half mile and finally cut down to quarter mile heats. ‘the reason that the hi1! miles were discarded was due to the fact that it coat too much to clear the ice and keep it clear, but 5°11" 8118i racing took place at that distance, in fact it was claimed that Cherry Rirpe paced a hall in one minute, and prob- ably he did. but there was a very strong wind in ills back. O O O O At first thought. it may not oc- cur to you that the wind makes lmlwh diflerence but we distinctly recall a secret trial which we made with The Yank in thrwln- tsr o4 1928. the year previous to his breaking the world's record Mount Clements. Michigan. was going great guns on the ice, so we decided to find out what chance The Yank would have a- gainst him. With a very heavy wind in his back he stepped a quarter in 3'7 3-5 seconds and turned around the opposite way a little later the quarter was ln 30 seconds. Ernie McTegue can O O O O By the way, the first knowledge we had that The Yank was so good on ice was on our return with Dan Patchen from the in- ternational ice races at Windsor_ Ont. Our principal opponent there was the undefeated Delia Unco with Vic Flemming driving. Dan won ill three straight with his best mile 2.14%. We had him shipped by express to Cisarlotte- town at a cost of something like $400. While we were away Ernie had been marking The Yank. bought ilhe previous fall from sipurgeon Gammon, New Glasgow for a long price only to have him lame when he arrived. In the hookup between Dan Pawhon and The Yank for quarter miles over the ice The Yank could move right away from hlm and step quarters in 29 seconds pretty eas- ily. so then we figured on mak- ing him a world's champion and the next January, 1921, "driven by Ernie McTague at Mount Clem- ents, Michigan, he did the trick! l- O O O The reason The Yank perfomt- ed so well on ice on a half mile track was due to his going clear. that is not touching himself any- where. and that is very import- ant as the boys will tlnd when they try out their trotters over iced ovals. The calks seemed to help him and no doubt had we used a shoe with a grab on him on clay he would have been bet- ter. but we never thought of it.
