Bis SCORE WINS
TEXAS Open

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Jan. 1s.--
The Texas open golf crown today
rests gracefully upon the sandy
head OF Macdonald Smith. The
story Of the whispering Scots ORA
matte victory is q tale of per-
sistence. Last year he lost the
title by a single stroke to. young
Joe Turnesa, of Elmsford. ~: x.
Sunday evening the gods OF golfdom
reversed the decision and the West
ern open champion added another
laurel worth 81 500 to his collection
when Wee Bobby Cruicltshank
missed a two.foot putt on the home
green at Breckenridge Park.
Cruickshank's second place purse
was $500.
The winners card was 2ss. the
highest score ever to win the Texas
open title. The soggy course and
a high west wind was responsible.
Smith traiIed by a stroke when
he stepped to the final tee after a
nip and tuck race that lasted all
day with Cruickshank and Jack
Burke, of Houston. either leading
the way or treading on his heels.
Cruickshank's drive went into the
crowd, while Smiths stopped dead
on the green. Cruickshank pitched
and ran far past the cup. Smith
played safe and rolled up, sinking
his ball for a par 3.
Cruickshank had long putt tor
the money. It rolled within two
feet of the cup and stopped, leaving
a dead shot for q 4 to send him
into a play-off.
On the next putt. the bali laxily
trimmed the cup and rolled on.
Smiths brilliant 50 round on the
first half made It possible for him
to outdistance the field. His Sun
day rounds were 70 and n.
Cruickshank's game was more
consistent until he blew on the
final two holes. His four rounds
were 69-72-73-75-28

will live among those adnniring

lete, fit candidate for world hon
ors which he won In Sweden.
Then, just when his fame was
ut its height, he was stripped Of
his honors and driven out az I'M

amateurs. He had ACCEPTED
FIFTEEN DOLLARS A WEEK
TO PLAY BASEBALL down in
tn Carolinas.
The lords Of amateur athletics
SENT BACK TO, EUROPE the

this young Indian lad had won IN
competition against the world.
They sent back an OFFICIAL
APOLOGY for having entered
him.
a cornwall soul, Thorpe fire.
quently mentioned that triumph
in Sweden, never complaining at
his lost honors, but always chuck
ling over the east with which he
conquered the worlds best. He
cherished that victory at Stock
holm far more than any football
or baseball victory in his long
career.
Il was this writer's privilege
TO see Jim Thorpe at his football
best. He was then playing with
the Carlisle Indians, coached by
"Pop" Warner. Thorpe's playing
against Harvard, Brown, Penn
sylvania and Georgetown has
stood out In this writer's memory
for years. Thorpe was the
GREA TIE ST B&ACKFIEL d
PLAYER this writer ever saw.
The other day, down in sun
bathed st. Petersburg, Fla,
Thorpe gave his final football ex-
hibition for the benefit of some
800 spectators. And what an
exhibition it WAS. Twice he
punted for sixty-five yards and
he missed by inches an attempt
at a field goal from the 5O-yard
line. And Thorpe is forty years
old.
So he goes 'back to his own
people to hunt and fish," leaving
athletic glory to others. May he
ever be happy, for he brought
honor to his race and to his
native land.
