WEST LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan.
li.-Pl-Macdonald Smith, who was
reared not far from st. Andrews
course. famous Scottish stronghold
q golf, has written his iron and
wood q page in western gclfins rec
ords of which the wearers OF the
plaid may well be proud.
The tall Scot, one Of the Carnous-
tic Smiths, yesterday won the si0,-
COO Los Angeles open, after az nigh-
~ a golfing battle as the west has
ever seen. IL was a repetition u his
victory in Los Angeles a year ago,
and was registered in even moro
sensational fashion. He came cut
first in a field OF many star golfers.
Smith came from behind at his
overwhelming pace to wipe out q
sevcn-stroke lead that Tommy Ar
mour, Washington, ID. C.. another
doughty Scot. had accumulated in two
phenomenal rounds. The first place
winner received S3,500. When Smith
rammed his final putt down the cup
on the 18th green Of the Riviera
course as darkness fell, he had COM
pletcd four rounds with cards or
7l-Tl-70-I3-2S5. Par on the course
is II.
Through the four rounds this vet
eran campaigner OF the fairways
played every lie with cool delibera-
ton. never displaying golf that could
be called phenomenal, but always
steady.
Standing out In hold relief was tho
tragic figure 81 Armour who started
his final Sc holes yesterday morning
with the championship within his
reach. lie was six strokes ahead of
his nsarest competitors, and seven
ahead az Smith. But as the day pro-
g~ressed he saw hiss lead dwindlc

unruffled gait.
Darkness forced Armour to 'pick

up 20 that point. He. together with
a dozen others who saw the pail OF
night block out chances Of finishing,
will complete his final hole this aft
crnoon. \ par four on the last hole

SENATOR FANS
GIVEN A DASH
OF SENTIMENT

OF Club Thrills Fol-
lowers; Talent Add
ed All Around
By PAUL n. SEXTON ~
ASSOCIATED Prers Staff Writer.) I.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-L9-It
sentiment can win baseball games
the Washington Senator'S will start
the 1928 playing season with a biz
lead over the other American league
entries.
This is because in selecting Walter
Johnson TO replace Bucky Harris,
who goes to Detroit, Clark Griffith
has touched a soft spot in the hearts
of thousands of capital fans.
The return OF the Big Train" for
twenty years the hurting ace of the
Senator's, after q brief absence as
manager Of the Newark club, has un-
doubtedly bolstered the morale OF
the Griffith cast.
Aside from this, however. the
Senators have other reasons for
their preseason confidence, chief OF
which is the promise Of a revamped
infield, a more effective outer de-
Tense and some promising new pitch
ing material from the minors.
Myer Aids
The acquisition of Buddy Myer,
brought back from Boston in a deal
that cost Griffith five players. is
expected to brace the inner wall e.
fectively. Johnson believes that
with Myer at third. Ossie Bluege
can be switched TO short where he
played when he first entered the big
show. The perennial Joe Judge will
again decorate first base, and John
son has the choice of at least three
newcomers to plug the gap at Sec
ond left by Harris departure. They
are Joe Cronin, Kansas City gradu-
ate, John Stewart, recalled from
Birmingham. and Jack Hays, who
has seen service here before.
The belief of "Goose" Goslin, lead
ing hitter Of the league last season.
that his throwing arm las returned
TO form is one Of the main factors
in Johnson's hope for a more effec-
tive outfield. Goslin's inability "a
get away long throws from left field
cost Washington more than one
game last year.
Sam West, who had a fielding av-
erage last year Of 1876, will again be
in center, with either Sam Rice or
Emile Barnes in right.
Vet Hurlers Back
Garland Braxton, most effective
pitcher Of the league last year. will
head the mound staff, supported BY
Sam Jones, Fred Marberry. Irving
Hadley. Bob Burke and Lloyd Brown,
in addition to some talent from the
minors. Weaver from Chattanooga,
Cantrell from Baltimore, Campbell
from st. Paul. Hopkins from Mon
treal and Liska from Minneapolis.
look like the most promising OF the
new material. Liska is a 2~0-year-old
youngster who led the American AS
ISOLATION in 1928 with twenty wins
and four defeats. Griffith got him
for a reported outlay of $4,000.
