Walto and Gene

While Gene Sarazen has been devoting profitable days to posing in the glare of the cinema calcium, Walter Hagen has won three southern tournaments in two short weeks. In each of the three he has established local records. The first was Belleair; the second, Asheville; the third, the North and South championship at Pinehurst. To defeat a field which included Cyril Walker, Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchison (who finished in the order named) Hagen was forced to a record-breaking 289 for 72 holes.

Sarazen meanwhile has finished his labor in the land of celluloid and returned to open the spring season at the Briar cliff Lodge Club (Briarcliff Manor, N. Y.), where he is employed as professional at a salary reputed to be larger than that of most of the members.

Said Sarazen: " I haven't had much time to devote to golf. . . ."

Hagen: " I am playing the best game of my career. . . ."
