SARAZEN THE OUTSTANDING PLAYER OF PAST DECADE LINCOLNSHIRE

His Brilliant Career Began in 1922

S. V. Gittins Wins Country Club Captain's Cup

(By "Birdie")

REVIEWING THE PAST DECADE of golf, an American sports authority has given to Gene Sarazen the position of honour for the 'Thirties as Bobby Jones had for the 'Twontics-the out- standing golfer of the decade, though accurately speaking the latter player's finest offort, that of winning the British and American Open and Amateur Championships, was in 1930.

Sarazen can claim no record as brilliant as that, but his successes over the years since he first began storming championship heights is one that allows every justifica- tion for the (unofficial) honour that has been bestowed upon him. His best years, perhaps, were 1931-32-33. He established a record in the British Open in 1932 with a winning, score of 283, though this figure has twice been equalled since; in 1934 by Henry Cotton, and in 1935 by Percy Alliss, both of whom were winners.

Sarazen, his first name is 208), third in 1933 (one stroke be- Eugene, was born at Harrison, the winner), and fourth in

New York in 1902, and began his golf career as a caddie at the age of eight. His first pro- fessional appointment was in 1921, and his first essay at the American Open was in 1920,
