HAGEN AND KIRKWOOD GIVE EXHIBITION

IN SHANGHAI

Brilliant Golf Played By Professionals

Shanghai, Apr. 14.

Golf enthusiasts were treated to a remarkable exhibition of the game at Hangjao yesterday afternoon when the world famous golfers-Hagen and Kirkwood-were teamed against "Tony" Ricketts and Graeme Nicholl in an exhibition four-ball match; after a great fight, the Shanghai representatives were beaten 4-2.

"Tony" Ricketts, undaunted by the opposition, played fearlessly, and held his own easily through the green. His long gume was particu- larly powerful and accurate,

and when he put his side one up at the long 500-yard fourth, which he won with a birdle four, following two perfect woods,

Shanghal's hopes rose. His short putts, however, just failed, and but for this weakness in his game he would have indeed turned in a remarkable score, and pressed his redoubtable opponents closer. As it was, he turned in a

fee, as he did in an interview six- teen years ago; they admire him for smashing the British caste system, which graded the golf pro socially with tradesman, and compelled him to enter the club house by the back door.

Only a few years ago he stole the show in the American Open, when in driving wind and ruin he just failed in i grand bid for the cham- pionship. As a showman he rarely tails his public,

Favoured by far better conditions than on the last occason of his visit here in May 1030, he was able to give of his test. The more serious side of his exhibition was particular- ly interesting and instructive to keen followers of the game. Kirkwood's charming personality certainly gives i a grent flip to the game.
