SMITH NO.
LONGER NEAR
CHAMP ION
Carnoustie Star Comes Into
His Own at Last at
Pinehurst

That grand golfer Macdonald
Smith, is at last coming into his
own. His victory in the North and
South open championship at Pine
hurst where he spreadeagled the
field. was one of the most popular
on record, as the Carnoustie man
has knocked ~at the door on several
occasions-1ad gained the title Of
''near champion" because Of finish
ing in second place in number
of important events.
AS a matter of fact, Smith and
Tommy Armour are the only for
eign.born professionals who have
"come through" in championships
this winter. Smith also captured
the California State title for the
second consecutive year and fin
ished second at Hot Springs and in
San Antonio.
Mac, who Is a brother of Alex
Smith, will be located at the Lake
Vile Golf and Country Club, at
Great Neck this summer. Now
that the link" has been lifted, it
may be that Mac will do things
worth while hereabouts. He GER
tainly has all the shots in his bag.
and MS style IS Jnlng OF beauty
a joy forever
His victory at Pinehurst is par
ticularly remarkable inasmuch as
he told George Nichols, president at
Lakeville, that he did not want to
play in the North and South be-
cause of the sand green's, to which
he was not partial It is true that
on sand if you are putting we'll all
is wonderful, but If you do not get
the touch" you might as well pick
up your bali.
Evidently Smith got the. touch, "
considering that he finished the
four rounds in 281, an average of
a little more than 20. That was
eight strokes better than Walter
Hagen, the British open champion,
who won at Pinehurst a year ago.
Hagen staged a great finish. with
rounds of IS and 20. Jock Hutchi-
sons brilliant IS in the morning
brought him up from the depths, I"
but his total of 299 left him far
down the list.
Smith is expected home" at
Lakeville today, when the club will
do him honor. AS far back as 1914
he won the metropolitan open cham
pionship at Scarsdale. his score of
278 being one of the lowest on
record.

DROP N|EOSEL
AND GOWDY
'TwouId Be a Sad Moment
When Venerable Hank
Left the Giants
By SAM CRANE.


BIRMINGHAM. April 6.-There
have been rumors flying around
among the Giants that Irish Meusel
is to be sold or traded to the st.
Louis Cardinals and Hank Gowdy
sent to the Columbus, Ohio, club,
of the American Association. Hank
even asked the writer IL that was
IA fact. As we did not know, and
as no official announcement had
been made that such shifts were
on tap, we were unable to satisfy
Hanks curiosity, or his worriment,
maybe.
We introduced the remark that
there might be lots Of kidding
going around" but that did not APP
pear to be at all satisfactory to my
queetioner, for he replied:
well, McGraw is not going to
carry four catchers. OF that l am
and naturally assume that l will
be the first Of them to get the
gate.
IF do, would welcome my
being placed with the Columbus
club, for I would then be enabled
to be at my own fiEeside in my
own home town both summer and
winter
There was a touch Of sadness in
the noble old hero's talk, and we
could easily grasp in mind his
heart throbs at the mere idea of
having to leave the Giants. We
know his deep feelings, although
the game veteran endeavored to
hide them by assuming smiling,
joking manner.
That was more pitiful to the
writer than IL Hank had tried to
make bluff by brazen Il don't
care" affected buster.
We hope that Gowdy will be re.
tanned. He is colorful man to
have on any team, is popular with
baseball patrons the country over
and was honored recently at Fort
Bennings as no other enlisted man
has been before him.
The United States highest Of
ficials promoted his prominence as
a. soldier hero, which has been
a most laudable lesson to our
country's youth, and has lifted the
national game to loftier heights
than it ever enjoyed before. 1t is
not enough that Henry GoWdy
| should have a baseball field on a
Government military reservation
named after him. His career as d
soldier and in the national game
warrants his retention on a fore
| most baseball team, and the Giants
| are that. And he wants to be with
| them, his old pals.
II Emil Meusel is sent to the
Cardinals, he will leave the Giants
with the high reputation Of being
the teams leading batsman at
driving in runs.
Irish, during every season he has
been with McGraw, has driven
more of his fellow players over the
registering home plate than any
| other player on the team. If he is
shifted he will have that most valu-
| able asset to his credit. That, too,
| amounts to a whole lot.
Still baseball, with its many
varieties Of changes and its patrons
| forgetfulness, does not long recog-
nize what favorite players have
done. 1t Isl what they can do now.

STAR FEATHERS
MEET IN MAIN
RING BOUT
National Capital Sporting
Club Show on Tonight at
Auditorium

Lew Mayrs, of Baltimore, and
Goldie Ahearn, OF Washington, both
claimants OF the Southern feather
weight title. meet tonight in ten
round, no-decisiou contest at, the
Washington Auditorium, featuring
the third boxing show de luxe Of
the National Capital Sporting Club
There Is no. question that fans
will get plenty of action during the
main event. There is no love lost
between Mayrs and Ahearn. Both
boys claim the Southern feather
weight championship. Mayrs has
demonstrated that he can hit with
a deadly wallop. Ahearn, who is
the best boxer of the two, is out TO
prove that he pr cks a Knockout
count. Aheran now realizes that
he has lost much popularity through
being over-cautious in the ring.
Clever at piling UP points, the crowd
want to see knockdown, and
Ahearn promises to re.establisEI
himself in popular favor tonight
The postponed bout with Paluso is
also at stake.
The hitting ability Of Mayrs lis
well known to Washington fans.
The Baltimore boy knocked down
Honey Boy Finni6an twice the last
time they met. He also defeated
the late Charlie Holman, ANDY
CLANCY and other tough boys.
Almost as much interest VIII be
manifested in the ten-round semi
final as in the main bout when
Tony Cortez. probably the best
young prospect in this neck Of the
woods makes his second bid for
favor before the local club in ten
round session with the tough Wash
tngton Italian Louis Guglimifii
Guglimini stayed the limit with
Ahearn the first athletic night OF
the club, and IL Cortez can dispose
of him, the younger Italian will be
entitled to a main. event chance
later.
Slim Pavese Is a new conner here
but made quite a reputation around
Newaras, Nick Bass, his opponent
in an eight-round bout, enjoys the
reputation Of being quite siugger
around Baltimore.
Billy West, of Clinton, Iowa, and
Sammy Hogan, of the Mohawk A.
c., will box six rounds during the
opening session.
Those wishing to see these bouts
must apply to room 631 Bond build
ing before s p. m. as only club mem,
bers viii be admitted, and no tickets
will be sold at the auditorium
A big contingent of boys from
the Walter Reed Hospital VIII be

AL Schacht Thinks Up
Solo Stunt For
Himself

BIRMINGHAM, April Chick
-Altrock and AL Schacht will have
one or two brand new stunts
for the Washington fans during
the latter days of the week,
having been rehearsing among
the minor league fans and in
variabIy given a big hand. In
one of them two chairs are
placed in. the infield, leaving a
squared circle in. the magma
ton. Altrock, as announcer and
referee, announces the great Al
Schacht to meet Benny Leonard.
Schacht, rising, bows, pulls on
the unseen ropes and jumps up
and down on his toes in true
pugilistic style and proceeds to
shadow box the invisible Leonard.
Finally Schacht knocks himself
out with Tn uppercut to his
own jaw and does a slow NOV
ing picture dive to the canvas
as Atlrock counts him out in
the same manner.
It is a wham.

Speaking Of Harris relehting TO
let Walter skip home ahead Of the
others, permission Walter has
been almost begging daily for a
week. and of Zach's detour to visit
his folks, those are two pretty good
answers to the question Of who is
managing the Washington ball club
that has been propounded for
months since Buchy was given the
assignment a. little over year ago.

Capital can set 1t down in their

liefs or whether they are rockies or
veterans and performs every duty
Of a playing manager without con.
sulfing anybody. This is not to
say that Harris assumes he knows
Il all or that he wouldn't go to older
heads If he wanted a piece of sound
advice, but nobody is telling him
what to do. and IL they tried to-, he
would tell them where to go.

How urgent his visit was, or
whether IL was reward for being

That may sound like cllild's

Buclky Harris often shows just
such 3 streak Of consideration for
his fellow men, rs such an net
