Macdonald Smith made his first
bid for the National Open title when
he was only is years cid. That was
way back in the year 1910. Even
then he was a crack golfer.
After finishing in a tie with his
brother, Alex. and John McDermott,
in the 70 holes championship play.
he lost to his kinsman in the play
off.
Strangely enough. that was the
closest he ever came to the cher
ished title. However, judging by
the rate he has been going since the
first OF the year the veteran may
have TO be looked out for this sum
mer.
There are many willing TO wager
shat the veteran is ripe for some big
things this year, even though it Is
quite late in his golf career.
Smiths hackers point to the way
he won the recent. Los Angeles open
as an indication Of what may be ex-
pected of him.. He sailed right
through younger opposition.
To reach the top Mac Smith must
dodge the jinx that has been follow
ing him in the national events. He

ISIS in the game and a great "money
player" In big purse play Mac j.
usually the favorjte. but. in National
Open play, heretofore. he always,
somewhere on the route, a into all
so to spoil his chances.
Maybe he has the jirx Gagged this
year; if so he might take place with
the two immortals Of his family.
Alex Smith, his brother. copied
the 1910 title and one before that In
1906. Willie Smith, another broth

Mac comes through. Three brothers

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Some day may be written very inter- esting tale of the political adven- lures Of John J Raskob. who is taking his first plunge out of the realm of big business and into the whirlpool Of practical politics as Director General of the Smith-for- President drive and Chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee.
 It is going to make new page in American political history. It may foreshadow a closer knitting of the warp and wool of American life, with lines less sharply drawn than in the past between politics and other gainful occupation.
 Fer 1t seems quite clear now that surprising as was Gov. Smiths selection of Raskob instead Of . Democratic political leader to di- rect his campaign, Il was only an outstanding development in & movement slowly gaining force in the country to draw the rank and file of American business more. in tlmately into the political picture.
 A mere glance at the names of the two score and more directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States shows that Ras- kob is only one of several of this group of important figures ins'ihc business world to have embarked this year on active political work for the Presidential candidate each favors. sfss
