Baseball.Replacig Cricket In England LONDON-Within five years base- ball will be more popular than cricket in England and within 10 years it will be a serious challenger to the league football as the national sport of the country. This opinion belongs to a half-doz- en English sports writers who know their country and its games. Ask them why this optimism for the American game in the tight little isle and they point out the healthy groups that have enjoyed the sport here for the past two years and- what is more important-the almost unlimited capital of men who are determined to see it succeed. By CLAYTON HEPLER A fine showing in fast company. That has been Michigan's reputa- tion in sports for a long time, and in support of that record the Wol-' verines can point to golf tournaments the country and the world over and show a Michigan man among those posting low scores. Ace linksmen for all time from this school has been Johnny Fischer, the Cincinnati lad who has burned up the golf courses for the last five years. His excellent showing in the National Amateur that was held last week at the Garden City course in Long Island is still fresh in mind. An indication of the play he would show in this meet was forecast late in August when he made the lowest qualifying score, shooting a 137 to set a new record for that event. But his record over a period of time shows that he is a formidable golfer whenever a match is needed to win. For the past two years he has been chosen a member of the Walker Cup squad to play against the British amateurs. Brilliantly justify- ing the committee's judgment in se- lecting him, the former Michigan star ,von his match in each encounter to contribute his part in retaining the coveted cup for the United States. Has Good Record Back in 1932, Johnny's first year in college competition, he served early notice of his prowess by sweeping through all his matches and then topping that by seizing both the Big Ten and the National Intercollegiate crowns. He repeated his Big Tenl supremacy by repeating again in 1933 and 1935, dropping out of school dur- ing the '34 season to travel with the Walker Cup team- to the British Isles. Paying a visit to his Alma Mater early this summer, Fischer displayed the finest golf that has been seen here by cracking the University course record wide open. HO nego- tiated the 18 holes in 64 strokes, surpassing the former mark by three strokes. The former record, inciden- tally, was held jointly by the great money player, Walter Hagen, and Pischer. Another Wolverine who has been heard quite a bit in golfing circles this year is Chuck Kocsis, last sea- son's captain. One of the low qual- ifiers for the National Open this year, he showed himself the class of the amateur field by posting the lowest score of all the simon pures. His failure to qualify was one of the major surprises of the National Am- ateur tourney as he has been compet- ing in that event since his high school days at Redford in Detroit. Kocsis Plays Well Climaxing an outstanding season in which he dropped only two matches in dual competition, Kocsis took both the Big Ten and National Intercollegiate titles this summer with some of the best golf he has ever played. He tied with Woody Malloy, another top Wolverine linksman, for the lowest qualifying score in the In- tercollegiate event last year, and went on to the semi-finals before being eliminated. Woody Malloy, another graduate of last June, also has marked his place in the golfing firmament. Han- dicapped during his stay at Michigan by playing number two to Kocsis, he nevertheless has turned in good per- formances in every match he has par- ticipated in. M i c h i g a n golfers throughout the state have learned to fear his deadly iron play in the open and amateur meets. Barclay Is Back Returning to bolster Coach Ray, Courtright's squad this year is Bill Barclay, a candidate for quarter- back on the football team as well as an outstanding golfer. Bill spent a golfing summer which not only put him in good condition for the fall grid campaign, but also garneredt lon; an St] th is por to old ey cou ... Johnny Fischer, three years a star golfer for Michigan, has been a member of the United States Walker Cup team for two years and ever since rising to fame here has been rated as one of the na- tion's leading amateurs. him more links laurels. Competing in the Michigan Amateur tourna- rnent, he reached the semi-finals be- fore being eliminated. Among those who are expected to stand out in competition next spring is Jack Emery, Detroit boy who reached the second round in the Na- tional Amateur last week before be- ing eliminated. He has swung a club among the leaders for some time now, and is expected to leave his name among the rest of the Michigan greats before he concludes his college career. Allen Saunders, consistent veteran of two years, may keep Emery from the number-one position next Spring.
