1t would be a physical impossibility
for two legs imprisoned in these pad
ded arrangements to make any sort of
speed in running bases. But then,
they don't have to. The vulgar ele-
ment> of speed simply doesn't enter
into the game. If a batter hits a ball
and thinks he might be rushed in
making his base, he Just doesn't start
and that's all there is to It. That
hit didn't count. II chappie is a

Barnes Also Well Fitted.

Such is golf. Smith is likely to be
more formidable than ever this year
If only because he has had one diSap-
pointment already. Barnes, too, has
done well in the British champion
ships. Like Smith, he knows wind
conditions and plays seaside courses
well, indeed.
This British championship is the
sixtieth annual. The event was in
augurated in 1860 by the Prestwick
Golf Club and was played over Prest-
wick till 1872.
Two Americans only have won this
title. Jock Hutchison, a foreign-born
scot, won the British title in 1921, be
ing the first American representative
ever to win this prize. Walter Hagen
was the first and only American
home-bred professional ever TO win
the title. Hagen came through to
victory in 1922, was second in 1928,
losing out by a stroke, and was vic
torious again last year. Thus. in in
ternational open championship hon.
ors between the United States and
Great Britain this country is in the
lead. Harry Vardon won the United
States open In 1900 and Ted Ray was
the winner in the American classic in
1920.

Hornsby's statement that this is the
best st. Louis team with which he
ever has been connected has been vim
dicated for the moment, whether it
becomes steady reading or not, and
the weakness of Branch Hickey as
a practical base ball guide has been
proved to a sufficient extent to make
1t fairly certain that the Cards in
recent years never have been as high
IN the race as they should have been.
Can Hornsby win the pennant? 1t
doesn't seem likely, but anything can
happen in base ball. Looked at from
practical viewpoint, it seems that
he will be headed off somewhere, but
when and by whom? The pitching
staff does not seem to be what it
should be, but it has shown what 1t
can do and what Hornsby said it
could do.
All Rivals Fear Hornsby.
Every other manager in the Ma
tional League is more afraid of Horns
by today than any other guy in the
circuit. except possibly McGraw, and
there are some who think that Me
Graw has lost his pep. Between i'll
ness and troubles, the Giants leader
has had a hard time of it.
HornSby is a fighter He comes
iiSht in their belts. and he will not

get over the habit and the Pirates
finished them off with two defeats on

play ball of get out"
Thereupon the st. Louis team won
four straight from the Cincinnati
Reds. The Giants came next and they
won three out of four which brought
forth some torrid comment in the st.
Louis club house.
This heart to heart talk resulted In
three out of four being taken from
Brooklyn and then five straight from
Philadelphia which lashed Arthur
Fletcher into another fit of rage and
he and HornSby had a breakdown
with their mauleys which did neither
Hornsby nor Fletcher nor base ball
any good But it did not change the
fact that Hornsby and his Cards had
displaced Philadelphia in the league
race and had taken up fifth place, ad-
vancing by quick stages from the pre-
hensible end where the team had been
left salving on the part of Hickey.
Whether the Cards win the pennant
or not the team that beats them in
u game from this time on will know
it has been in a fight.

The Britishers will have their work
cut out for them stopping this trium-
virate. Particularly will Duncan,
Mitchell, Havers. Ockendon, Whit
combe and the others have to keep
an eye on Mac Smith. The latter, to
be sure, keenly disappointed his ad-
nirers in the open championship at
Worcester recently. But it is the
writer's opinion Smith had played too
much good golf just previous TO this
event and had reached top form too
quickly. In other words, the easy
going Scot, whose record this year
up to the open event had eclipsed
that of any other golfer in this coun-
try, had gone stale at a time when
he should have been just coming into
his game.
Should Regain Top Form.
Smith, however, is too fine a golfer
to remain long in slump. The ocean
trip should have given him the rest he
needed SO much, and this week is
likely to see him back in top form
again.
The writer believes the Californian
-Californians always will claim Mac
as their own-will be among the lead
ing contenders for the British title.
He always plays well in his ma
tive land. In the last two tourna-
mentS he was right up with
Hagen. Two years ago he was third,
one stroke in back of Hagen and two
strokes back of Havers, the winner.
Last year Smith was leading the en-
tire field, Hagen and all. going to the
fourteenth hole. He finished the last
five holes in even 5s and lost the
championship by two strokes.
In speaking of this opportunity. or
rather, Of this chance he missed. Smith
said: II was very confident I was
going to win, when the strokes sud
denly started to slip. A slight error
here, another there along the way, and
before l could check the thing my
chance had gone"
