Billy Smith Makes Debut on Links

As o. Golfer He's o. Great Cusser'

That Didn't Count, Cracker
Manager Makes II.
By W. S. Farnsworth.

kcV TOU hit a golf ball as hard as
Y you can and IL you find it
the same day, you win"
That's the explanation that Dan
Daley, famous comedian, used to pull
for a big laugh.
And that is Just what Billy Smith,
Cracker manager, thought Of golf be-
fore he made his debut at the Capt.
tai City Clubs country home in
Brookhaven last week.
Yours truly invited William to go
out and chase the elusive pellet for a
couple of rounds over the sporty nine
hole course.

ed Bill
But when Charley Nunnally, Beau
Brummel director OF the Atlanta
Baseball Association, suggested that
he would take us out in his seven
passenger car Billy said he would
take a chance.
! am cure If 1t had not been for the
opportunity to "mooch" a ride, Billy
would never have consented.
Auto Ride Makes Him Golfer.
And II was because he wanted an
auto ride that to-day Billy Smith Is
the biggest NUT on golf in Atlanta.
He took to the game like Bowery
panhandler does TO a photographed
souse with a bank roll.
Sarcastically he walked on tee
with one Of Scotty McKenzie's dread
ed dreadnoughts, glanced at the. lit
tie white ball, gave II a snickering
laugh, muttered to himself that he
was going to drive the blamed thing a
mile, and then--broke the driver.
AS a golfer Billy Smith proved an
excellent cusser
His debut had been a tremendous
success.
In breaking the above mentioned
dreaded dreadnought created by Nc
Kenzie, let me mention here that the
head didn't fly from the shaft be-
cause of the power when club min
gled with ball-for the club never hit
the ball: instead It jammed its way
into solid earth about yard back OF
said ball and cracked and splintered
and smashed into 'steen separatefan
distinct pieces.
1t was then that Billy Smith dis
covered golf was not game for spav-
ined individuals.

Tomas Urbina is one of the celebrated

clutches of Diazs law, was convicted of
murder and was under sentence; but
when the revolutionary movement against
Diaz was making Roadway, through some
influence, he was released.
Though unable to read or write he had
considerable military talent, and soon

And SO the comment of the foreigners
ran.
Such is the army of the brothers Ar
rieta. Not all of it is ignorance Some of
the younger officers, galloping around on
splendid horses, have education. They are
the most sinister element.
The problem of the army of the Ar
rietas is a. perplexing one for the con-
sttutionalist government. Gen. Carranza
and his cabinet came to Durango TO per
suade the brothers to incorporate their
troops in the other forces Persuasion
previously has been attempted.
The answer of the brothers has been
conclusive They took Durango as part
of the constitutionalist forces. Gen. Car
rama, when he entered the state with his
troops, was not able to hold it. VIVA
never was able to take it. They have
held it and administered it for the con-
stitutionalst cause, and if it had not
been for them, Durango would still be
stronghold of The federals.
Yet the brothers are not without the
spirit of compromise. At the time write
Domigo has agreed to yield his posi-
ton as IN litary commandant and take
some of his troops into the field. to a rich
district which has not yet been invaded
by the conititutionalists. But in yielding
command he yields TO Brother Marlanos
who succeeds him as jefe de armas.
Possibly by the time this article u
printed Calranza will have succeeded IN
dislodging the Arrietas by persuasive
means or Villa will have court-martialed
them. Possibly not, for the fear OF the
scandal which the disclosure to the out
side world Of conditions in Durango Woulo
cause is great.
Most likely another chapter,in the ex-
traordnary history which began with the
sacking Of Durango. transferred con-
denned murderer from his cell to the SUI
preme command of the lives and prop
erty of the city and ushered in the year
of anarchy under the bandit troops of the
brothers Arrieta will have to be written,
and with some points of resemblance to
the French revolution before the consti-
tutioualist government vindicates its right
to be called civilized government.
Durango's fame is still unique.

and from one of them he took Se0o $50 in
notes.
The browning act of Urbina which
showed that the consttutionalist cause
had triumphed over the church, was to
put the aged Archbishop of Durango,
Francisco Martinez. In the cell which he
himself had occupied as felon.
Spo!ation of the church's goods, more
than hatred Of the church itself, seems to
have been the animating motive of the
bandit forces, although there was I'M
doubted hatred Of religion, as represented
by the priests. The cathedral and other
ediAccs were desecrated in the search Tor

cess. chiefly less. The tiara. with its
priceless jewels. was not found.
Archbishop Martinez WAS ransomed,
and after time the British consul was
allowed to take him in an automobile to
Lacatecas.
Gen. Urbina ruled and spoliated in the
name of the state-that is, of the consti-
nationalist revolution. although it Is not
known that he rendered any accounting.
One day he voluntarily abdicated his
power and rode away with his mattresses
and his booty to the confscated hacienda
which he had picked out for himself. a
foreign consul told me he counted four
teen loads of stuff which went with the
general.
After that not much was heard of Gen.
Urbina. but there were whispers that he
was disaffected toward the constitutional
list cause. This was disproved recently
when he appeared in command of his
troops as loyal lieutenant of Villa in
the Saltillo campaign. He took part in
the attack on the retreatng federais at
Paredon. He is now ready to march Cd
Mexico.
