Playoff Through Deadly Putting By GEORGE TREVOR. FOUR kings are no good In poker when your rival holds four aces. A 70 Is no earthly use In golf when your opponent shoots a 66. Gene Sarazen had a 70 yesterday morning at Salisbury In the third 18-hole playoff for the elusive Metropolitan Open crown, but swarthy Oene went home to Fresh Meadow empty handed slnce ruddy-faced Macdonald Smith, striking a remorseless vein, went forth and himself a 66. There Is no bucking a 66.

They pay 54:,: FORMES FIELD, I'lttsburg. July 24 A stirring race to the home plate between the flying feet of Paul Waner, an enterprUIng young athlete from the Pacific Coast, and a ball propelled by the none too powerful but highly accurate arm of Buck Wheat, pulled I'lttsburg into first place In the National League pennant race today. Waner beat the ball In the last half of the ninth Inning, and scored the run which gave the Tlrates their second victory of the dny over the Brooklyn Robins.

BOUGHT Bl ROBINS Richards Defeats Tawara After Keen Struggle in Metropolitan Turf Play By GEORGE NORBE. VINCENT RICHARDS, carrying a round dozen excess pounds of avoirdupois, encountered some severe opposition from ths racquet of Tsumlo Tawara yesterday in the first round of the Metropolitan grass court championships on the Tourt. of the Crescent Athletic Club In Bay Ridge. It Is true that Vlnhle won In straight 6 3, 7 6, but the wily Japanese fought stubbornly for every point. In the ninth game of the second set he wa.

within one point of winning the set three times, but Richard, managed to pull the game out after It had gone to deuce four Of course, the young man Just landed from the Homeric on Thursday, and may not have his land legs back yet. Brian I. C. Norton of South Africa and Texas won the other feature match of the day', play from young Eugene McCaullff, captain-elect of the Fordham University tennis team, after a stiff struggle. The scores were also 6 3, 7 6.

Only six 4) off on a pair of sixes every time. We saw Sarazen, sans his one remaining title, as he sipped fa cooling drink in the locker room. "'Well, that's that," said Gene tersely; "I'm glad It's over. I can't reproach myself for losing. When you shoot a 70 you ought to be satisfied.

If a 70 Isn't good enough, then it just Isn't In the cards for you to win. Mac Smith played like a madman out there this morning. I guess he went crazy with the heat. I was 8 under par, but Mac had 7 birdies." Thus endeth the 126-hole duel, which went 7 rounds to a finish. The swinger beat the hitter; the Scotchman from Carnoustie beat the Italian-American from Mount Vernon, N.

the sweeping St. Andrews swing beat the crlBp, staccato punch; the golfer of the old school beat a typical representative of the new order: the fundamentalist beat the modernist. Smith Has Skill to Win Open Titles. The better man won. Smith, the paradox of the links, is the greatest golfer who has never won a national title.

Here is a wizard with the mashie niblick, an artist with the iron, a' master with the wood, an Inspired genius who filches strokes from par as easily as a gunman holds up a Broadway jeweiry m.uru win an ODen championship! Here Is a soiling virtuoso with a sense of rhythm like Paul White-man's, a touch as gentle as a trained nurBO's, an appreciation of timing which would earn him a Job as trap drummer in any orchestra and yet he can win an Open title! One must delve Into the realm of psychology for the answer. Mac's mechanical equipment is beyond cavil. Mentally he cannot relax under the nerve pressure of a National Open. Relaxation is the keynote of Mao Smith's game. His slow, unhurried back swing epitomizes "action in repose." He strokes the ball with a delightful ease, which belies tne concentration Involved.

He seems to sweep it oft the turf as a housemaid sweeps a carpet. You don't get the feeling of a sharp, punchy hit as you do when Sarazen meets the sphere. Mac Smith Is not a divot taker. He whisks the ball cleanly off the clover tops even on short approaches, yet he gets an amazing stop-spin on his P'flmUh employs the "hesitation technique" in putting. He "tops his club blade for an appreciable period at the zenith of the back "ln then comes forward and hits on through the ball.

Mac', putting stroke is a two-piece affair. He Is the only "pro" who comes to a full on on his putting back swing. Mao his blade high off the ground Instead of paralleling the turf on Ms swing back. Bobby Cruickshank of a putting, but the pause Is not as pronounced as is the with Smith. Off the tee, Smith is a 'ellnger.

Sarazen Did Not Falter IlenpHo Terrlflo Pressure. It would be grossly unfair to Bar-arm td Imply that he cracked under he strain. Gene, who relishes a mn-to-msn fight, with no quarter asked or given, never faltered. He home in SI and yet lost two strokes! Out In 5 against Oenr's oar 17, Rmltn tainy on the final nine.

Bob McGraw was victimized in the nishl cap after Buzz McWeeny had been forced to quit tho ball game after a line drive off the bat of Hay Kremer had nicked him In the foot. The score was 3 to 2.

The Robins wound up their three weeks trip away from home with a double defeat, but it must be said that they Improved as they went ulung this afternoon. There never was a bit of doubt about the opening game. Brooklyn successfully kicked it away early. But In the other, some 25.000 Pirate fans were kept In a high stute of Buspenae, un til the final split-second of play. Hits in Etcess Go to Waste.

The Pirates obviously handed out some Instructions on the subject of making hits count. Both drove out 15 socks of various dimensions In the first game and I'lttsburg won by a four-run margin. Brooklyn outhit tho world's champions, ten to clcht, In the wlndup and lost by a single run. Burleigh Grimes, truculent splt-Bn II warrior, failed to hold up for five Innings In the face of a heavy I'lttsburg bombardment, one run In each of the first four Innings of the first game and a messy Plrnto rally In the fifth, which eventually netted half a dozen, ran Burleigh out of there. In lour official Innings Grimes permitted nine hits, four bane on balls and eight runs.

Twice he forced a Pirate in by walking a hitter with the bases densely populated. Khrhardt swelled tho I'lttsburg total In the fifth with a brace of runs, then held Pittsburg score-leNs until the eighth. In that Inning Buck Wheat lost George Grantham's long -fly In the sun. The Plrste first baseman received an unearned triple und Pittsburg scored two runs. How the Robins Missed Opportunity.

Tho Brooklyn requiem Is a tale of glittering opportunity gloriously gummed up. Lee Meadows, Bill Me-Kechnle's veteran four-eyed flinger, was hit In every one of the eight innings he pitched. In the first four innings Meadows gave two bases on balls und seven hits. And the Robins did not score a run. A pass to Wheat In the fifth.

Babe Herman's long triple to right and Bill single to center gave Brooklyn two. They went to the Other extreme In the sixth and scored four runs with two hits. Two bases on balls and a wild throw sandwiched In between Ehrhardt's double snd Marriott's single explain It. Wheat's single. Marriott's triple and an Infield out in the elifhth added the last pair.

Bon Songer. a precocious left hander. was wild In the ninth inning, hit Chick Fewster and walked Jacob-son and Fournler to fill the bags Ith none out. But Wheat inglorl-ously popped up and out to Traynor, while Grantham smothered Herman's hard hit grounder. That ended a dizzy ball game.

Stolen Rail Give Home Run to Wheat. Treason In the lower tier of the light field grandstand gave Brooklyn the Jump in the second game. Buck Wheat led off In the first half of the second Inning with a line drive that would have hit a foot or two below the rail. A Pittsburg hug came to Brooklyn's rescue by reaching down and gently snatching the line drive. He crammed the ball Into hla pocket and the drive become Wheat's second home run of the year.

If the Insidious Ingrate has been discovered, doubtless the firing squad will have completed Its work by this time. Johnny Butler singled In the fifth snd Karl Smith, the hnrdest boiled buccaneer, promoted the plot by fumbling Mli kev NclH bunt. Me. Weeny forced Butler at third, but double to left drove O'Neill across. McWeeny cruised over some threatening breakers In the fourth and fifth, both times the pirates filled the hngs and both times they fulled to score.

But in the sixth. Pittsburg shagged two runs and McWeeny was carried out. Herman Grab One Out of (he Cloud. Glenn Wright galloped around to second when Butler, whose previous fielding had been a thing of bruuty. threw wild past Fournler.

Pie Tniynor'e single to right scored Wright, which Is no pun. Grnntham drlblili-d a single through McWe. nv snd Fewster. Traynor reaching third. Bnwllngs popped out, but Trsvnor scored the tvlng run after Smith's long to Herman.

Babe gave the boys heart failure on this one. He turned around a couple of times and finally pulled the drive down stsndlng on his toes and leaning bnrkwnrd. McWeeny then stuck hla alyenhle left font In the pith of Kremer'a acorchlng sock throuvh the box houg threw out the Plrnto pitcher.

and Smith walked In Off Tec at First. Off three of the first four tees Mac Smith shoved his drives to the rough. but the grass at Salisbury isn't long enough to penalize a shot off the line. At Scioto, with Its luxurious alfalfa, it would have been a dlf ferent story. Smith had to fight for his scores on the outward Journey.

His shot at the 0th again left him deep In the gorse, from whence his re. covery fell short of tho green. Bar azen got home with an iron, hole high 20 feet from the pin, yet it was Mac, not Gene, who got his par 4 A masterly low pitch and run of the St. Andrews type left Smith five feet from the. flag.

Disconcerted by this comback Sarazen played a weak approach putt. At that he might have holed his six-footer had not a COl) of mud turned the ball aside. That was "the break." Smith had the lead, never to rellnnubsh It. A finely controlled low pitch from Just off tne 7th green gave Mao a birdie 4 on the 610-yard layout, putting him 2 strokes ahead. Mac made It three at the 206-yard 10th.

where he played a Jigger to within 16 feet of tne pin. Sarazen courageously ran a long approach putt to within inches of the cup. Tho clapping had hardly ceased when Mae sank his 16-footer for the first of his de clsive deuces. Sarazen fought like a cornered bobcat at the 430-vard 11th hole. His drive was pulled to the side of a mound.

Gritting his white teeth Oene laid his club blade baok at an acute angle and chooDed vlciouslv. The ball flew off at a tangent, landing beneath a peach tree some 90 yards irom tne green, rom tnis awkward position he played a brave pitch 12 feet from the pin, but failed to drop the putt for a half In 4. Smith was now 4 strokes ahead. A 20-foot putt on the 12th green put Mac five shots to the good. Nothing but a Cali fornia earthquake could have stopped him now.

Gene got one back at the 825-yard 14th. His terrific drive rolled within 40 yards of the green, whence he Played a neat run-up shot dead to the pin for a bird 8. Smith replied by splitting the flag at the 122-yard 16th with a gem of a pitch. Vicious backapin held the ball 4 feet from the cup. This was his second deuce.

Smith Slams Door In Sarazen'. Face at 16th. The 16th hole 1. 484 yards ldng. For the first time during the round Mao Smith had the longer drive.

From a rang, of 229 yard. Gene went for ths tightly trapped green with a brassle. but just failed to make It. Smith from a brassle to an iron, evidently figuring that It was his cue to play safo. He too was short.

Oene laid his chin stony, while Mao left himself a 20 footer. It made no difference. I'p came Smith', enchanted putter. The blade hesitated tantallzlngly In midair. Down went the 20 footer for a half In birdie Smith came to the 600-ynrd par 6 home hole securely entrenched behind a five-stroke lead.

A 7 would have given him the title. He got his par i. Gene had the satisfaction of laying a perfect chip 4 feet frorw cup for a birdie 4. It was a vain though fighting finish. Gene', four king, had met their master in Mac's four aces.

Thus Macdonald Smith became Metropolitan Open champion for the second time. It wa. back at Scars-dale In 1DJ4 that Mac, with aa incredible 278 for 72 holes, first gained Metropolitan laurels. Harry Vardon predicted at that time that Smith was destined to become the champion of champions. Shortly afterward Battling Barleycorn knocked Mao down for a count of Smith gamely regained hi.

By THOMAS HOLMES (Staff Cormpondrnt of The Eaplr.) I'lttsburg, July 24 Wllbert Robinson, who seems to have been conducting a quiet and extensive hunt for athletes who can hit that ball and catch those files, today announced the purchase of Outfielder Harvey Hendrlrk from the New Orleans I'ellcans of the Southern Association. Hendrlck Is the third outfielder purchased by Brooklyn from the 7 Southern Association within the past week. The others are K. J. Rlehl of Atlanta and Ernest Nletzke of Birmingham.

Tawara Shows American Influence.

Tawara Is short, like all of the Japanese tennis players that have been seen in this country. He has an unusually powerful pair of shoulders and a keen pair of eyes set In a dark bronze face. On the court he Is jovial and good natured, reacting with equal good sportsmanship to good and bad fortune.

This was especlullv true of backhand shots, for while Tawara la no weakling on ball- hit to his left, his backhand returns did not display the forcing aggressiveness of Richards' own backhanders.
