Golf Match Play Toughest Hagen Walter Hagen, who was one of the greatest medal players In all golf history and won seven National and British Open titles, savs the real test is in match play. In medal play you may go out in the morning when the weather is good and some other fellow may play through a storm In the afternoon, or you may play before a crowded gallery and the other fellow may not be bothered. But in match play you're all even, and then the better man wins, he Says.

With all seven of the, teams in one division this John Harris year and with St.

Louis a new member, the Hornets certainly have looked like the class of the league and at least thus far have given promise that Owner Johnny Harris vow to follow his tailend team of last year with a winner will be realized. Harris has purchased a flock of players from the Buffalo club, last year's champions, and has a staff of no less than six scouts under Manager Johnny Mitchell on the prowl for additional talent in Canada. Team Win Few Games on Road However, the season Is still young and theres a long haul ahead, particularly in the next three weeks, when nine games In succession will be played on I the road, almost one-third of the entire road schedule of 30 I games. Next week the Hornets play at Indianapolis on Sunday, St, Louis on Tuesday and at Her-, shey on Saturday. The following night they will appear in Providence.

From there they go back to Hershey, then to Cleveland, to Buffalo for two games, and then to Cleveland Now, it a peculiarity of hockey that the teams seldom win on the road, for a variety of reasons. Last year's Hornets, for instance, didnt win a single game away from home, and the same thing has happened to Other teams in other seasons. Among the reasons for this gtrange phenomenon are the varying types of ice encountered, the different constructions of the arenas, with the home teams familiar with the banking boards, the traveling, which in these days calls for considerable day coach riding, and eating in restaurants, along with a minimum oppor-I tunity to practice. 1 Theres still another factor. That is that it is customary for the home team to force the going and set the pace in the games.

To Play 10 Games In Next Three Weeks Ahead of the Hornets, Including tonight game, are four games in the next eight days, three in the next seven and three more in the following seven. The history of the league is thci if a teajn can win most of Its home games and 15 per cent those on the road lt wms the championship Last year. Hershey won 30 games, tied 8 and lost 18 while Cleveland won 33. tied 7 and lost 16 Buffalo won the playoffs In the last seven years, no team has won more than 66 per cent of Its games and generally 55 per cent hak been sufficient to carry off top honors. Sixty-five per cent is sure of winning the championship and 55 per cent assures a place in the playoffs.
