Macdonald Smith is one of the
outstanding stars of the year In pro-
fessional ranks.
Smith. strange to relate, is far
better golfer today than in 1910,
when he and his brother, Alec, tied
for the medal with j.. j. McDermott
and lost to j. j. in the play-od. He
is decidedly more accurate and much
longer from the tees. Added weight
has resulted in the latter improve
ment.
Macdonald is known as the best Of
the fiat swingers. This means that
instead of taking his driver up 20
that his hands are near the top Of
his head, or above them, as In the
case Of Jones, they are much lower
down. He takes his club, back and
around, rather than back and up.
His swing is thing of grace, q
clean sweep through that carries the
bali on the tee for over 200 yards, yet
one that gives little indication Of its
power at time Of contact. The
swingeT. in opposition to the hitter,
like Hagen, finishes with his club up
and around his left shoulder. The
sweep Of its head going through pulls
it up there, the body following
around so that the player event.
ually faces the hole.

SOCIALIST ATTACKS

Smiths Tammany Connections and
Hoover's Political Associates
Hit by Thomas.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, July l4.-Norman
Thomas of New York, Socialist candi-
date for President, addressing mass
meeting at the opening of the State
convention here last night, attacked the
political connections of Gov. Smith and
Herbert Hoover.
The price paid by New York for Gov.
Smiths beloved Tammany," said
Thomas, was 1.-THE milk frauds, largely
UNPUBLISHED; the school building frauds
with their profits to Tammany con-
tractors covered up; the Queens sewer
and paving scandals, detected not by
the administration, but by private citi-
zens; wholesale street cleaning frauds:
the notorious corruption OF the police
In time OF strike; the ineficiericy in
suppressing gangs and gangsters, who
usually have political pulls; the increase
of vice. as reported by the committee OF
IA. and the generally low character OF
Tammany magistrates and judges In
Inferior Court.
Herbert Hoover is not running as the
man who fed the Belgian babies, but
the man who sat silent In two cabinets
through the oil scandals: who employed
discredited members of the Ohio gang
in his preconvention campaign: whose
personal attorney. ex-senator Lenroot,
went straight from the Kansas City
hearing on contested delegations to rep
resent the power lobby before the Fed
eral Trade Commission. and whose final
nomination owed much to that low
grade machine politician. Senator-elect

In the chapada above only coarse
grain and stunted trees are to be found,

FARMER EXPLAINS
BAKER BOYS DEATH
Torture Drove Brother to End
Life in River After
Fatal Accident.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July IA
The amazing story of how a 9-year-old
boy was killed when struck by an auto
mobile in broad daylight in Fredericks-
burg, his body hidden in the bushes,
then tied up in sack and thrown in
the Rappahannock River. and the whole
matter kept secret for year and
half, was revealed in detail today by
Abram Grimes. a farmer, 81 years old,
of Spotsylvania County.
Abram told the police yesterday his
brother, Henry Grimes, drove the auto
mobile which killed the boy, disposed Of
the body and ended his own life six
months later in the same river, driven
to suicide by torture. Abram and his
brother we're bathing when the latter
began struggling and sank, repelling
efforts to save him.
Secret Leaks Out.
Abram kept his dead brothers secret
a year, but enough of 1t leaked out to
give clue and last night he was ques-
toned by newspaper men, police officers
and lawyer. Henry Grimes Is buried
in Oak Hill Cemetery close to the grave
of the boy.
Albert Baker, the victim, son of NJ. Y.
Baker, local painter was struck not
far from his home by II~nry Grimes
automobile. Fearing he would get in
trouble Henry picked up the body and
hid 1t. This was late in the afternoon
Of February %, 1927. The boy had left
his home to play.
Day and night, for weeks, investiga-
ton by local and outside officers re-
vealed nothing. On May 2, 1927 young
Bakers body was found in a weighted
sack In the Rappahannock River below
this city. in badly decompoSed state.
The skull was fractured, and a dark
ring around the neck indicated that he
might have been strangled. Still no clue
was found as TO the person responsible
for his death. The case had practically
been forgotten. Yesterday a tip pointed
in the direction of Grimes, who might
have forever kept his dead brothers
secret had he not let a little Of the
story leak several months ago.
Signs Police Statement.
Abram gave a signed statement to
the police, saying his brother had told
him Of the incident three weeks after
the Baker boy had disappeared. Accord
ing to Abran1 his brother, Henry, did
not divulge fun details.
Abram said he did not learn whether
any one was with Henry at the time,
where he had hidden the body and when
or where he had placed 1t in the river.
There were no charges against Abram
and he was permitted to resume work
near here. Solving of the mystery
brought relief to the parents, who had
been In suspense so long.
