Horton Smith to Display Golf
Skill Here in q Benefit Match

started cleaning up the field in the
Southern and Western tournaments
last Winter, Washington golf fans have
been eager to have look at this new
wonder Of the links. They will have
that chance on August Is, but they will
be expected to pay their way. for the
match is to be strictly a benefit affair.
Negotiations were under way today to
obtain Armour and Won Elm, with their
success practically assured. 1t is Ger
tain that II a quartet like this will play
in a match about Washington the
crowd which will flock out to see the
four stars in action will be one of the
largest ever seen at golf match about
Washington.
Much of the credit for arranging the
match belong to Leo Diegel. The
Canadian open title-holder was ap-
preached several weeks ago and with
out second thought gave his assent to
the proposal to play. He then obtained
the services of Horton Smith. who is
to appear without charge. The usual
fee of Smith and Hagen-his exhibition
Alex Armour. brother Of Tommy, was
certain today that the former open
champion would come to Washington
and would be able to bring George Won
Elm with him. Won Elm will be almost
as big an attraction as Smith, for the
Detroit blonde has not played here since
1924. and he then was not as well
known as he is now. That was before
George had won a national champion
ship. Today he ranks second only to
Bobby Jones in the amateur ranks and
is almost as big a drawing card as the
brilliant Georgian.

r ORION SMITH, lanky Mis-
sourian, sensation of the late
Winter golf season and winner
L i of championships from Cali

ton for the relief of Bobby McWatt
and his family. McWatt formerly was
the professional at the Columbia

more than a year. suffering from Seri-
Gus injuries received in an automobile
accident.
Horton Smith will appear with Leo
Diegel, Canadian open champion and
holder of the professional match play
title. Their opponents probably will
be Tommy Armour, former national
open king. and George Won , Elm,
the national amateur championship in
1925. The original intention had been
to obtain the services of none other
than Bob Jones, open and amateur
king, but the Georgian informed the
committee last night that he could not
take the time from his law business In
view Of the extended trip he win make
to the Pacific Coast later In the month
to defend his amateur title. 80 the
match will probably find Smith and
Diegel against Armour and Won Elm,
and it will probably be played at Con-
gressional. The avowed aim Of the
sponsors Of the contest is to raise as
much money as possible, and the con-
test Will be played wherever the pros
poets of raising a large sum Of money
for the McWatt family relief seems
best.
Under present plans still another
money-raising scheme in addition to
charging an admission fee Is planned.
This will be driving competition, open
to amateurs and professionals alike,
who will pay 81 ball to find out who
can knock golf ball farthest out into
the great open spaces.

DI|EGEL IS GOING
TO MEXICO SOON
Will Be There to Welcome
Pros to $500 Event
This Winter.
BY WALTER HAGEN,
British Open Golf Champion.

a n ONTREAL, Canada, July 81
AH American golfers are playing
IV more and more on Canadian
/ L courses. While they appreciate
the cooler weather in the
northern Dominion during the hot
months they also have found here many
fine gol1ng courses.
This is not only true of Eastern Can
ada, but 1t Is likewise true of the Do
Coast, where golfers from Washington
and Oregon cross the line to play.
In fact, golfing is becoming one Of
Canada's most valuable invisible i'm
ports" through the attractiveness of its
golf courses. At the moment the Cana
dian Pacific is laying out fine course
in connection with the new Royal York
Hotel at Toronto. 1t has been designed
with the view of making it a sort of
Pine Valley of Canada. Stanley Thomp-
son is the architect and he intends to
lay down a model course.
In keeping with this general policy of
cultivating golf, the Canadian Amateur
Championship will b. played at Jasper
Park in the Canadian Rockies, August
1924, so that the entrants to the United
States National Amateur Championship
to be held at Del Monte, Calf, during
the week beginning September 2, will
De dDIe 10 play III Cfle OdndQldH cNcilJ
If they elect to reach the coast by way
of the Canadian Rockies.
Leo Diegel, four times winner Of the
Canadian Open Championship. soon will
leave for his new berth in Mexico where
this Winter he will welcome the tourna-
ment players to the $4,000 Aqua Cali
ente Open. That the open champion
Of Canada will spend the rest Of the
year teaching Mexicans how to play the
game gives a pretty clear idea Of how
international golf has become.
Diegel's winning Of the Canadian
Open Championship this year was a
brilliant performance as his score OF
274 for the four rounds indicates. There
is seldom a tournament in which he
starts that he fails to break 10 at least
once and every time he ties four of his
rounds together he is sure to win.
But Leo has always been unfortunate
in the American opens. Once at Wor-
cester he had the championship all
but sewed up when he took terrible
seven on the final hole. However, I
think he will win both Of the major
titles before he quits the game.

It seems to fall to the lot of members
Of the Washington Golf and Country
Club to perpetrate queer things with a
golf ball and q wooden tee. Last Fall
Dr.. T. d. Webb drove ball from the
eleventh tee at Columbia which was
found to have been pierced entirely
through the cover by q wooden tee.
The other day Robert A. Dougan Of
Washington did the same thing, this
time from the tee on the fourteenth
hole of the Washington club, a hole Of
234 yards. Dougan was playing with
Y. e. Booker, Ray Wise and G. B.
Craighill. He topped the ball, and
when he came up to it, 1t was found
to have been perforated through the
gutta-percha cover by tee.
Just as in the case of DR.. Webb, the
ball Dougan used did not pick up the
tee on which the ball had been placed.
The superstition Is that the ball was
heavily topped, and that as 1t was
struck into the ground 1t picked up
tee which was lying just on top of the
ground and forced the tee right through
the cover. DR.. Webb believes this Is
what happened to his ball, although his
shot went down the fairway for a con-
siderable distance, while that Of Dougan
went only so yards.
Washington is to send 4 delegation
