SMITH SELF-MADE
LINKS SENSATION
Four Years Of Perseverine
Practice Brought Young
Pro to Front.
BY GLENN ALLAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

= YORTON SMITH, the boy Her
cules Of golf, has been mar
veled over alarmingly since he
II il cleansed the Augean stables Of
Winter tournaments with tor
rent Of pars and brides.
But nobody has attempted to tell how
he did all this.
The idea seems current that the Tall
Pine of Joplin went to sleep one night
unknown to all but the hotel clerk.
The conception Is that young Smith
woke up next morning to ind his
breakfast grapefruit sending up ap-
plauding streams; to ind the hall
packed with silver and cash: his name
on every tongue.
Not Done in q Hurry.
It cannot be done that quickly. It
was not, In Horton Smiths case, done
that quickly by four years.
In 1925 a broad-beamed, gangling lad,
our hero, was enrolled at Springfield
(Mo.) Teachers College. He liked golf,
played good golf and wanted to play
more golf. So he deserted pedagogy,
preferring to teach young ideas to shoot
than to teach young shoots to idea.
Nothing very important came his way.
He qualified for the national open in
1927, but his career stopped with that
Beating the bushes of the Winter cir
cult, he finished In tie for second
place at San Diego. He tried again In
1928 and still was far short Of fame or
fortune.
All this time the Tall Pine of Joplin

was playing good golf. All this time the
Tall Pine was keeping his ears open and
his eyes open. He watched the good
ones and practiced their shots. For
three years os Winter play Horton
Smith challenged the sun IN his early
rising. He OUTRAGED the caddies to the
course, and these early hours were spent
in trying out shots picked UP from other
golfers.
II Far From Satisfied.
Even now, winner Of more money and
more tournaments than ever q golfer
picked up In Winter course, the ami.
able, quiet chap Is not satisfied. He
says his game lacks q great deal. There
are, he says, at least six shots he must
learn before he can hope to be good
golfer"
Horton Smiths head Is not turned by
his success. He Is not unaware Of
what he has done, but Is not cocky In
victory. What he won he earned, and
what he earned came from what he had
learned by steadfast effort.
