SMITH FIRST WINNER
 IN THE B0GEY HANDICAP
Result of Play on Sunday on
 Douglas Links.

DOUGLAS, May 19.-(Special) )- Carl Smith for the second time demonstrated his excellence as a golf player on the links of the Country club by being the first to win the French bogey handicap cup twice in succession and thus is the first player to have his name engraved upon the trophy. The conditions in the gift of the cup were that any player winning the cup for two months consecutive, ly should have his name engraved up- on it and when a player shall win the cup three times in succession it shall be his personal property. Smith won the cup in April and repeated the per formance yesterday, although his handicap had been reduced, but in order to win its possession next month he will certainly have to play great golf for his handicap will be re- duced from six and it will be neces- sary from him to play from scratch and to make the score in bogey or better, an S2 or less for the eighteen holes.
 He started poorly yesterday and re- quired a 50 for his first round and was four down on the colonel com ing in. Right here he braced and showed benefits he has derived from the careful and almost daily practice he has been indulging in, for he flu ished his second round one up on bo- gey with a 45 and had the best rec ord of the day, being three down for the days play.
 Scores a Trlfie of.
 The high wind for the past week had a bad effect on nearly all of the l players and the medal scores were not quite so good as last month. And there were not so many players in competition, since the visit of the eX- cursionists from Tucson drew many membtIG away to meet them, anC othe-, ..5tTactions kept the numbe. down. In all about twenty cards were | turned in. a
 Holden had 94, as had Cuthbert, and Carl Smith had 95. These were l the only ones under a hundred, most of the others being from 1O1 to 104, the former scores being made by Ro, 1 madka and Wash Smith and the lat 1 ter by J. B. Speed. The poorest card l for the day was 131 and there were ! bout ten players ranging from 104 1 to that figure.
 As the match with Bisbee is not l scheduled till the last Sunday of the month and there are five Sundays in this month it is probable that the greens committee will not select the 1 team on the basis of yesterday s scores but will have a medal round play for that purpose next Sunday.
 Ticket Nominated.
 The nominating committee named by the board of directors at their re cent meeting to select a ticket to be voted for at the coming election post ed fourteen names on the club bulle tin board yesterday. This committed met at the Gadsden Saturday night and while only instructed to nomi nate nine candidates for the new di rectorate the committee felt that the selection of so small a number al nine suitable candidates from a mem bership which contains so many wht would be eminently satisfactory di rectors was beyond them. By pro cess of elimination they did manage to get the number down to fourteen from whom the members may selec a regular ticket. This does not pre-
 clude the nomination of any othe
 member of the club for director pro
 vided his name shall be posted on tn,
 club bulletin board for at least
 week before election. The nomina tions as made by the committee wert , as follows:
 H. T Cuthbert, G. w. Cass, Georg Dave, s. w. French, J. A Holden, 1
 C. Hanks, Robert Rae, H. N. Reno, E c. Robinson, J. P. Sexton, J. B. Speed R. L. Scott, c. O. Thomas and Dr. F T. Wright
