C-7MONG golf professionals,
IN this is Macdonald Smith
year. Although he failed
in the national open at Scioto, the
Scot showed flashe sof great form,
and since that time has been play
ing the most consistently good golf
of his career.
He will defend his western
omen title at Highland course
here starting Thursday, and 1t is
likely to take some shooting to
dislOdge him.
Last Sunday Mac took only
thlrty-fve strokes on the nine
holes out at Highland. Then just.
to show he was human, needed
forty-two to get back in.
Twice Mac Smith has nipped
important championships out from
beneath little Gene Sarazen's sum
burnt nose, the first time at Sails
bury and again at Montreal, where
he won the Canadian open.
1t took Smith 1875 holes to beat
Sarazen for the Metropolitan
title, but the slender Scotsman
shot a &c, seven strokes under
par, on the final round. Gene,
incidentally, had a 20 for his last
IS holes. Tied at the end of the
tournament, this pair played
three additional rounds before
Smith won.
At Montreal, Mac played his last
two rounds in seven strokes under
par, coming from behind to over
take Sarazen and Johnny Farrell.
Mac Smiths good year is tri-
umph of the short game. The
canny Scot cares not who out
drives him from the tee. AT chip
shots, run-ups, pitches and half
mashies he has no superior. And
his putting is deadly.
"7ILBUR SHAW Of this city
IWI is getting quite a reputa-
w ton as a dirt track auto
race star. He is going over big
in Chicago. Shaw will drive a
new Frontenac creation built by
Art Chevrolet in the 150-mile race
at the new board track at Akron,
Ohio, Labor day.
Fred Harder of Indianapolis, a
rival of Shaw's, will drive a car
for Clemens Company. These two
pilots are pretty certain to give
the Akron speed bugs plenty of
thrills
T7CCORDING to Henry Far
IA rell of the United Press,
III Dempsey seems in almost
perfect condition. He shows speed
in his workouts and a good punch.
But trainers will tell you that out
ward appearances sometimes are
deceiving.
jim Jeffries was fat inside
when he met Johnson, and could
not stand the body punches.
Tunney probably will work on
Jacks body. That seems the
logical plan of attack.
Before Dempsey went to his
training camp, some friends in
New York gave him the laugh
when he said he was not taking
Tunney lightly
Explain, if you can" one Of
them said, "how you can lose I'M
less you're in such bad shape that
you collapse from your own
exertion. Tunney can't hurt you"
Listen" Dempsey inter-
rupted, "any man can be hurt
if he's hit in the right spot, and
I've got just as many right spots
as any other champion.
