By Henry l.. Farrell

United Press staff CorresDondent
NEW YORK, March 27.-Two
wide open pennant races are in
prospect as the major league teams
prepare to leave the training camps
and start northward by easy stages
for the opening Of the season.
In the National League the cham.
pion Pittsburgh Pirates, the New
York Giants, the st. Louis Cardinals
and the Cincinnati Reds appear to
be sure contenders and the fight in
the American League will be made
by the champion Senators, the Phil
adelphia Athletics. the St. Louis
Browns and perhaps the New York
Yankees.
Among the officials who are opti-
mistic about the coming season, John
A. Heydler, president of the National
League, is most enthusiastic.
Competition" he said, develops
interest in the game and there
should be plenty Of competition in
each league this season. notice a
disposition Of the critics to consider
only four teams in our league, but
I will go further than that. think
that Brooklyn and Boston are among
the contenders."
General opinion expressed in the
South favored the Senators, Athletics
and the Browns to fight it out for the
American League pennant, but the
Yankees have developed so well that
they look like contenders.
The Yankee pitchers have come
along fine and Koenig and Lazzeri
apparently have solved the infield
problem.

By VEDDER GARD

,IMMY SMITH, great bowler,
who rolls here today in the
l national Elks' tourney,
surely believes in keeping busy.
He has been rolling EN- down the
runways for twenty-five years, but
he hasn't begun to stop yet.
Smith has just completed a coun-
try-wide tour Of several months
duration. Although Jimmy did not
do so well in the A. B. G. tourney
or March "a and % at Toledo
watch out, he is always due.
Next week at Cleveland on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Smith will meet Count" Geng-
Ter, Europe's best, in a sixty
game test. The battle will be for
the worlds unofficial singles
championship.
Smith on his recent coast-to-
coast tour started from Chicago
on Sept. 8, 1925, and up to the
time he reached Indianapolis, the
first week in March, rolled ia
exhibitions for a total OF LILY
games.
II was estimated by Jimmy's
manager that Smith threw l43
tons of balls down the alleys and
knocked over 406 tons of pins.
Don't try to figure this up. We
took Jimmy's word for 1t.
\ Smiths grand average for
j the LII games was 2OS.
GRAND average is right! His
opponents average was 1879.
Jimmy established a worlds rec
ord at Denver on this tour for thir-
ty consecutive games by getting
7311 pins, an average of 243 a
game. He came nearest to a per-
feet game at Lafayette. lnd''
where he knocked over 29O wood
en- soldiers.
Some of his achievements: Tour
nament record for three games
ri pins, 257 average, at Toronto
1917.
Only bowler to win all-events
title at A. B. C. twice. He turned
the trick at st. Louis i'll 1911 and
at Peoria in 1920.
In April, 1925, he won the eighth
Peterson tourney at Chicago with
a tourney record total of 1,72O pins
for eight games, averaging 2l5 a
game. Some $40 of the best com
peted. A diamond medal and $500
was the reward for the victory.
Yep, folks, he's a pretty falS
bowler.
