Carl Smith yesterday afternoon estab-
lished new record in competition
and won the title IN the Country clun
| golf championship After the fifth
hole the result was never In doubt
until the victory was cinched at the
fonrteenth hole, the score being 5 up
and to play. For the first nine holes
Smith was evidently holding back on
hfs wood shots and made no attempts

acy, and his self restraint came rath-
er as surprise TO many OF the spec
tators. His display OF golf has never
been excelled .hereabouts unless by
Walter Fovargue last winter.
The sports and pastimes committee
had the arrangement almost perfect

A grand approach and an eight foot
