Hardly a league but has a full
share of men who have rolled at
least one $50 game and set that
is better than 375.
For instance, in last nights Dis
trict League matches Temple
swept the Arcadia team with
three consistently high sets. Each
man on Temple, with the single
and singular exception Of Paulie
Harrison, contributed a big game,
Friends 148, Rosenberg'S IA.
Mulroe's 140. But the high school
phenom on the Arcadia, Eddie
Espey, topped them all with a
classy ISL. Temples GIG stood
out. -.
High games we're recorded in
the other District League matches
between the second-placed Cornell
Lunch and the revamped Stan
ford Paper. which the Paper men
won handily by taking the odd
after a spiffy battle. Billheimer
rolled 143, w. Smith, 140, and
Brad Mandley, 1877. The 500
we're amaSSed.
Hymie Schecter, new &C.
quisitiOn of the Paper men,
rolled a 354 set, Billheimer,
377, and Louis PantOs, $50,
topped him.

Rowland. Treasury. 144; Barnard,

Doying, Of Washington Loan

high game for the week. He
missed out on a 400 set when he
could only muster two 110s in his

| B,kKIRK MILLER L.

Guy Mason, who was a news
paper man once himself, should
be awarded credit for having one
of the brightest ideas ever given
voice by a lawyer. Guy is going
to father a tournament this
fall for the dub golfers. Who
of US is there that hasn't longed
to get into a tournament where
we could meet buffers of our
own class--a tournament with
the possibility of not being
eliminated the very first after
noon?
From casual observation, say
naught of personal experience,
one is of the belief Mr.. Mason's
tournament will be a success,
both in point of entries as well
as enjoyment available from the
kind of competition where the
run-of-the- mine golfers may
come together without feeling
an inferiority complex.
Of course nobody can vouch-
safe the we'll being of the turf
following Mr.. Mason's unique
tournament, but that is a matter
for the grounds committee to
ponder. The idea is a broad
minded one and an innovation
which might we'll be followed
by any golf club which wishes
to encourage its new members
or its golf beginners.
Passengers of the liner
France which recently arrived
in New York say Gene Tunney
and the former Polly Lauder
were passengers for three days
of the ships voyage between
Naples and Oran, Morocco, and
that Gene spent most of the
three days in the steamers
gymnasium. Is it possible this
gentleman is going to recon-
slider his retirement vow?
Two diametrically opposite
types of baseball managers are
likely to be leading teams in the
thick of the American League
race before the season is very
far spent. Miller Huggins, who
never mixes socially with his
hirelings and Dan Howley, who
personally spent $500 to take
his men to theater parties and
for other diversion last season,
are the baseball contrasts. Per-
haps this explains why the
Browns leaped from seventh to
third place last season-but
then it doesn't explain why the
Yanks won the pennant.
Observers in the AS camp
say that Danny O'Rourke is too
small to make the grade as a
major league catcher. Danny
weights exactly 155 pounds, which
happens also to be the amount
of avoirdupois< registered by
Muddy Ruel. Since Ruel has not
always weighed that much and
since he is soon to catch his
1,0O0th game Of major league
ball, it might not be bad idea
for O'Rourke to study the life
and achievements of Washing
tons first string backstop.

KID PRO GOLFER
CLASSED HIGH

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 20
Horton Smith, silent blond youth
from Joplin, Mo-, has played 81
rounds of tournament golf since
the first of November and has
been in top money in all but three
events. His average score for the
winter tour was 1898.
And that's why Smith is one OF
the favorites entered in the $4,000
Miami Beach-La Gorce open tourna-
mint to be played over the La
Gorce course tomorrow, Friday and
Saturday.
Smith, who will be 81 years OF
age May 22, started his winter
drive in November by winning
the Oklahoma City open with q
card of 28S. He then won the
Catalina Island open with PAS
strokes. Other first-place wins
were at Pensacola, Fla, with
274, and Mt Fort Myers, with
28l.
Only four times all winter has
Smith placed lower than fourth.
He was second at the La Jolla.
Calf, 54-hole tournament with 217
strokes; second at San Diego, with
282; second at San Antonio, with
2S1; and second at Hot Springs.
with 29O.
His thirds include the Honolulu
open with card of 292: Long
Beach, with 2S3 strokes, and Sac,
remento, with 294. He was fourth
in the $4,000 Los Angeles open
with a score of 294, and seventh
at Portland. Ore, with 283.
The events in which Smith
stumbled were at Pasadena, EI
PasO, and Bellaire. 1t was a
coincidence that he finished
fifteenth i'm these bad starts.
This youngster finished forty.
fourth in the national open two
years ago and last year pulled him
self up to twenty-seventh place. In
the last P. G. A. tournament he
was eliminated by AL Espinosa.
Smith has no outstanding shot,
but plays a consistent game. He
hits an accurate drive. his iron is
generally straight down the alley
and he puts well. Probably the
best thing about his game, in ad-
dition 10 excellent form, is his golf
ing temperament. His average Of
20 stands for more than a half
hundred rounds Of competitive gOlt
testifies to his golfinE humor.
