Success of Alex. Smith.
The work of Alex Smith open metropoi-
tan champion and professional of the Mas
sau Golf Club, ended late yesterday after
noon when he finished first in the field OF
golfers. His victory, which was not unex-
pected by many who knew his ability as
player, carried with it the first prize of
$50. He won by a margin of two strikes
better than the score of Isaac Mackie pro-
fessional of the Fox Hill Golf Club. whose
performances in the first round yesterday
morning caused attention to be directed
toward him Immediately. He took the sec
ond prize yesterday afternoon, which
amounted to $100 When the steadiness of
the match between the two leaders is noted
1t must be said that Smith played the stea-
der OF the two and his greater accuracy
won the contest. His driving was especial
ly strong and clear-cut, particularly the
drive from the first tee to the first green,
which went true to its mark, in the second
round. Near the eighth, ninth and tenth
holes his work was especially remarka BILE
HIS distances were judged to a nicely and
his approaches were done with remarkable
accuracy. While the greens We're not SO
keen as they might have been, still Smiths
work was well done In some places in the
final round the ball failed to respond to his
puts as 1t would have done had the greens
been keener. Smith made a short drive
from the thirteenth tee which was his only
piece OF faulty work in the afternoon If
this had not happened his score would have
been "a and within one stroke of par After
driving into the ditch with his mashie he
used niblick twice to get out and before
ne got down to the green he had used I'D
two more good strokes He should have
made this hole in three instead of five.
Other Good Scores.
Mackie's score in the morning round of
seventy-six started the wise ones to think
ing. and many picked him for first place
as on the morning showing he was four
strokes better than his nearest approach
In the field. In the afternoon, in going over
the second round he played the first six
