What Is Greatest Sports Record?
(By Geoffrey Simpson)
London, Oct. 29.
Probably some time next spring, perhaps in some smoky small- town hall, perhaps in London under camera flash-lights with a fashionable throng watching, will be performed one of the out- standing feats of skill in sport of all time.

He has been champion golfer of the United States, Canada, Betain. and France, and also the champion dresser of galf. He makes bis exit, but he leaves his mark.
BIGGER GAME
I am not really surprised that Hagan is retiring, as for the past year he has not been aiming at the ittle white ball, but at buffalo and elephants and tigers.
He has a passion for bin-game hooling, but you cannot hunt big Burne without money--and Hugen has been at it for a year. He has also been doing a fair amount of ching, which is another pursuit re- quiring time.
Sarazen may follow him in re- tirement, but whereas Soruzen will devote himself to productive farm- ing. Hagen is likely to continue on pleasure bent. He has the money to do it.
In many ways Hagen is a remark- able fellow, He started in Detroit as a boy caddie. When he was 21 he was gold champion of the United Slates
Between then and 1924 he won the British Open four times; in fact, he started 12-years period in which our championship was dominated by Americans,
