BILL WELLS DURING PUTT;
BOBBY SPURNS HIS APOLOGY

Bill Mehlhorn. the fair-haired darl-
ing of the Texas Open gallery a couple
of years ago, is in bad.
Bill, who once missed the title by
one putt in a playoff with Walter
Hagen, finished something like
twenty-eighth this year. He had a
bad cold and he felt out of sorts.
He let his crouch master him so
completely Sunday afternoon that he
violated one of the sacred ethics of
golf-he yelled during the tenscst
part of the putting duel on the last
green. with the title at stake.
Bill was perched in n tree look
ing over the heads Of the crowd.

GAVE HIM A BATTLE.

And it seemed they were about to
get Mac Smith.
The threesome, playing nerve
wracking golf, seesawed all around
the final IS holes. Burke was ahead
awhile, then Cruickshank, after they
had overtaken the Great Neck Sotch-
man.
But Burke blew up on the twelfth
and the battle for the championship,
with all other contenders out, was
taken up by Mac Smith and Bobby
Cruickshank alone.
Bobby, despite some remarkable
shooting by Smith, held onto a slight
lead and, when the threesome teed
off at seventeen, was two strokes IA
the good. But Mac Smith wasn't
through. He set his rudy face and
with clever three, won the sew
crfeeuth hole.

There was some yelling from his

Now it is reported by no less a

it was Bill Mehlhorn who yelled back I:
"What do you know about ma

Mr.. Furlong laughed but it was
no laughing matter to Bobby Cruick-

situation.
He didn't think it was at all nice
of Bill Mehlhorn to yell and violate
golf ethics.
At the golf banquet Sunday night,
Mehlhorn, who had been spoken to
by Mr.. Clegg and others. walked up

arm on Bob's shoulder and said CON

Further down the table sat little

And little Willie was favored with

For he had done something very

Willie had gone in the cleaning
to the chief scorer as he strained his
eyes to post the last cards outside
the clubhouse and had informed him
that his scorer had given him 300

for a 301. That burst of honesty

With a yellow slip good for fif-
teen hundred and twenty-five iron
men tucked in his billfold, MacDon-
aid Smith. golf professional from
Great Neck, Long Island, and the
fifth open champion of Texas, is
playing Monday in two invitation
tournaments, sort of "chasers" for
the big Texas Open doings of Sun
d-y, at the Alamo and San Antonio
country clubs. with the prospect Of
picking up carfare home"
The two Monday events call for
prizes totalling ss75-the Alamo Club
meet in the morning. a professional
hest ball team event, being worth
1915, and the amateur-pro competi-
fipn at the San Antonio Country
Club in the afternoon calling for
$500.
Mac Smiths s1525 yellow slip rep
resents, he believes, more than the
Texas Open Championship alone. Mac
Smith is convinced it means he is
again in the good graces of Lady
Luck.
NOT LIKE 1925.
Last winter, golf fans will recall.
Mac Smith had a putt of some few
feet on the last green TO tie Joe
Turnesa for the 1925 Texas Open
title and the tallest Of the tall money.
The ball on that putt hoped in the
cup and then hoped out.
Many another time during the
tournament just closed Mac Smiths
puts hoped in and out again, or
hesitated upon the rim of the hole.
Nevertheless, he started Sundays
final 80 holes three strokes 10 the
good. leading the field. But be had
tough opposition-right where he
could watch it, too. Bobby Cruick-
shank and Jack Burke were out 10
overtake him and they formed the
rest Of threesome with Mac Smith
that collected. before the afternoon
ended. the largest golf gallery that
ever followed q match in the South

ties, whips, confetti and other things.
Everything will be there to make up
an old-time, old-fashioned outing and
celebration.
Gates Open at 9 A. M.
Since the abandonment of the early
morning parade Naveral years back,
and my, how we miss this great feat
ure!-the days observance does not
take much form hardly before the
noon hour. But from that hour on
there is never dull moment. Some
thing doing all the time, so much 60
ing on as to bewilder one trying to
keep up and being in on everything
stirring ng-much like trying to see
everything in big three-ring circus.
With something entertaining and
amusing at all times, the day will
wind up with magnificent display of
fireworks
However, while there isn't much
going on during the morning hours,
for the convenience of those desiring
to make full day of it, the commit
tee announces that the gates to the
grounds will be opened to those desir-
ing to enter at 9 a. m. The commit
tee urges the workers to pack their
baskets, get the family together and
eat their meals that day on the spa
cious grounds. And what finer place
could one select for a whole days
picnic than the Butler county fair
grounds. Every convenience is to be
found on the grounds. Fine big trees
whose spreading branches give abund
ance of shade, shelter in case Of bad
weather, good water, toilets, benches
and tables, etc. One can also purchase
lunch, coffee, ice cream and other
things needed. No need for going out
of town next Monday for a real days
entertainment, says the committee.
Plenty of Music
A rare treat is in store for the low
ers of good music who attend Mon
days outing, both afternoon and eve
ming. Professor Shoupe, whose band
has been secured to furnish the con-
certs for the day, has prepared two
excellent programs to tickle the ears
of those who like classical as well as
the popular airs. Soloists, instrument
tai and vocal, will be heard in both
programs. Professor Shoupe assures
satisfaction to the most advanced
critic.
