BURTON SMITH
TELLS GOOD 'UN

United States Deputy Marshal Bur-
ton Smith Of Portland tells this one,
partially as . joke on himself and
partially to show the efficiency Of the
United States Secret Service. At the
time when President Taft was
"stumping" the State. the deputy
marshal. who hac business down
East" thought he would drop over to
Bangor to see an old friend Of his
who. as a secret service man, usually
accompanied the President on his
trips. Marshal Smith arrived at Ban
gor ahead Of the Presidential party
and went to the station to await the
coming of the train. There was an
immense gathering to greet Taft and
the police were lined up to prevent
anyone passing into the lower train
shed. Deputy Smith knew all the Off
GERS. however. and was quickly ad-
mitted to the restricted zone.
When Taft's train pulled in,
punch of secret service men got off.
but the marshal failed to see his
friend in the group. The government
detectives gave the marshal a casual
glance. but to his surprise apparently
PAID no further attention to him, al
though they closely scrutinized every
other person who came anywhere
near
Marshal Smith trailed along with
the Presidential rarty, going directly
up to the Bangor House with them.
Others were brusquely pushed aside
by the Presidents body guard. but
ne, although perfect stranger, was
not molested and no questions were
asked. The deputy was much puzzled.
and began to think that the secret
service men weren't onto their Jobs.
Arrived at the Bangor House, Taft
went directly inside. but at the door
the Following crowd was barred. all
save Marshal Smith. who himself
hesitated on the threshold. supposins
that he too would be stopped from,
following the chief executive any fur
Their.
Much to his surprise. one Of the
secret service men stepped up to him
and said pleasantly. Won't you come
along with us?"
Deputy Smith accepted the invita-
tlon and then as soon as they we're
inside and opportunity offered, he in
quired for his friend. "Oh. he isn't
with us on this trip" replied one OF
the secret service men. This led to
further explanations. and when Dep
uty Smith expressed a desire to know
why he had been given so much free
dom, when he tiGp't know any Of the
party. one of the secret service men
remarked, why we knew you two
minutes after we got off the train.
We were glad to have you with us.
too because We realized that YOU
knew all the locGl characters"
This explanation gave the deputy
marshal a new insight into the eff
cheney OF Uncle Sans Secret Serv-
ice.

He not only breaks slowly but takes
some time to find his true foot.
Fifty yards on the journey Roamer
sash and black cap of Andrew Miller.
A mighty cheer went up for the old
campaigner. Trompe La Mort, Old
Koenig, Walnut Hall and Hank O'Day
were almost on even terms with the
pacemaker. Priscilla Mullens and
Omar Khayyam were teamed length
behind, with Hendrie bringing up the
rear.
They raced thus to the first quarter
pole. Roamer seemed we'll in hand,
though in that first quarter he had
shaken off the speedy Trompe La Mort
by a length and half. Old Koenig
was second. Matching strides with him
and scant neck behind came Trompe
La Mort. They maintained these re-
tive positions almost to the half. Then
-Trompe La Mort was given his head
momentarily by McAtee and drew a
half length away from Koenig. He
was but half scant length behind the
pacemaker now, we'll within striking
distance for the home run.
Old Koenig Challenges
Bvrne came on again with Old
Koenig, and at the three-quarters pole
was fighting it out neck and neck with
Roamer. The weight was beginning to
tell on the aged Miller .geldlng. he
was tiring with every. jump. 1T was
then that McAtee decided to make his
winning effort The boy gave g Irompe .s
La Mort his head and the gallant son
of Verwood closed with Old Koenig
with every leap.
Byrne gave McAtee an argument
for fifty yards or so, but when Trompe
La Mort got up where he could look
Old Koenig right in the eye his most
hopeful supporter gave up. Roamer,
not the Roaner of old, was fading fast.
He was dropping back into the ruck
with the disappointing Omar Khay-
yam.
Lyke came along fast with Priscilla
Mullens to cinch the third money
field, passed Roamer in the last furlong
Another Metropolitan Handicap had
gone down into turf history.
The racing public got its first
glimpse of the timber toppers in the
New York Steeplechase, at about two
miles, the second event of the pro.
gramme. This was won easily by
Brentwood, the favorite. and desuite a
very inferior ride on the part of r
Williams. The jockey let his mount
stray all over the course and was LUCKY
to be up where he could win. There
might have been different story but
Tor, the fact that Captain Parr was
slightly injured in topping one OF
the barriers. Parr pulled up verv
lame.
Lyke kept Penrose, the favorite
straight and true in the four-and-a

A delegation representing various
golf clubs and associations waited on
Park Commissioner Joseph P. Hen
Messy of The Bronx, yesterday to urge
added improvements to the golf
courses in Van Cortlandt, Mosholu and
Pelham Bay Parks.
The golfers demands are based on
the fact that the golf courses in The
Bronx, comprising $50 acres, are now
self-supporting since Commissioner
Hennessy raised the season golf per-
mits from 81 to SIS.
The revenue for this season thus
far is $15,910 as against s5,146 for
the year 1917. Commissioner Hen
messy pointed out to the golfers that
he was compelled to increase the rates
for golf permits because the golf
courses in The Bronx, he said, showed
deficit last year of $4,000, duo to
maintenance. labor and materials in
the upkeep of the grounds.
The Commissioner told his audience

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Johnny
Dundee, the New York lightweight,
gave Eddie Morgan, of England. box
ing lesson tonight in the star bout at
the Olympic A. A. clubhouse, having a
substantial lead on points in every
one of the six rounds.
The boys met at catchweights, with
Dundee having slightly the better of
the weights. Morgan was the first to
lead, but Dundee soon got working at
full speed and batfled the little Eng
lishman with his speed of foot and
fast hitting. Times without number
the Scotch-Wop jabbed his left hand
to the face and crossed snappy rights
to the jaw, while Morgan found it hard
to connect solidly on the dancing,
bounding Dundee. In the last round
Morgan made game rally and the two
traded blows in the centre of the ring,
but it was Dundee's fight by big mar
gin. at the end.
