SMITH DUE TO WIN
TITLE ON BIRTHDAY
U. S. Golfer, With Record
1872, Has Big Lead in
French Championship.
BY WALTER HAGEN,
British Open Golf Champion.

PARIS. May Horton Smith is
scheduled to celebrate his 21st birthday
today by becoming lie champion de
France in golf He is practically "a
sure thing to win as yesterday, at St.
Cloud, he established a new course
record. going out in "a and coming back
in 80 for the fine total of Sc. But the
most marvellous part of this achievement
was that he repeated this score in the
three puts on the last green kept him
from doing IS.
Smiths total of 1872 put him IL
strokes ahead of the next man and tied
the world record for SO holes of con-
secutive playa record which I made
at Wolf Hollow. If it hadn't been for
his extra putt on that final green. I'd
not even be able to divide it with him.
With the lead he has, Smith should
win the professional championship of
France in walk and thereby give the
Ryder Cup team its second European
title.
In addition to the British and French
championships, don't forget that an
other member of the team. Joe Turnesa.
won the Yorkshire Thousand Guineas
contest, the greatest professional match
play tournament ever held.
Horizons golf was nothing short of
miraculous.
There are six Ryder Cup players con-
testing and all hope to finish well up
in this tournament Their scores YES
terday were: Smith. 1872: Farrell, las:
Sarazen. LAG: Turnesa, 148; Hagen, ISL,
and Dudley, 1873.
Henry Cotton was the closest man
to Smith. with 144 Aubrey Boomer of
the st. Cloud Club and Boyer of Nice
had 146.
Smiths Play Praised.
ST CLOUD. France. May 20 R.-
Horton Smiths two 66s for 1872 in the
first So holes of the international pro-
fessional golf tournament here have
convinced at least two of Europe's
leading players that the Joplin pro has
the stuff Of which champions are made.
Smiths amazing display of brilliant
play yesterday drew tributes on all
sides. but two of them carried particular
weight. They came from Arnaud Massey
of France and George Duncan, British
veteran.
Massey, who won the British open title
the year before Smith was born, had
this to say of the young Joplin pro
who reached his majority today:
He has got what it takes to make a
champion. In few years he is going
to be the greatest golfer in the worlds
Duncan said of him:
1--WE seen only two or three people
to compare with him, Harry Vardon,
Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. He Is
as cool as cucumber no matter what
happens"
The figures tell the story of Smiths
marvellous game better than any other
medium: His first IS broke the course
record by two strokes; he had only three
IS on course 6.507 yards long: he was
only twice over par; he scored IL
brides: he was never in the bunker
and off the fairways only thrice and
each time neat recoveries enabled him
to get down in par.
Yet at the end of his astonishing days
play the youngSter only said, We'll, it
was too bad took 3 puts on the last
hole, wasn't it?"

A Long Time Ago.

SOMEWHERE back in the early COS
- recall the Augusta ball club DASH
ing on the field with much greater live
illness than any other club had shown.
This club was arrayed in black uni
forms. presenting a striking effect. The
manager was young outfielder by the
name Of George Stallings. The next
time I saw George Stallings he was
playing halfback for the old Nashville
Athletic Club around 1900. Few knew
that Stallings was high-grade, hard
running back who could carry a foot
ball with the best. Few men in sport
have ever carried the terrific mental
and nerve strain that Stallings could
never lay aside. 1t was this nerve
strain that brought about his death,
showing again that worry is one of the
greatest Of all the scourges afflicting
human vitality.

Among the Smarter Ones.


TINE Hon. william F. Carey, head
of Madison Square Garden, says
that Max Schmeling carries one
of the wisest heads he has seen
in the ring. The German proved
this when he was asked how and in
what round he would knock out
Paulina.
IT may get hit on the chin myself"
he said, 80 l am making no predlc-
tons"
Which is something in line with
Dempsey's advance tip on each fight

swaying. There one need not worry
where the weight rests.
AS Farrell pulls his club down and
then pokes through the ball his body
automatically unwinds. His sole
thought is to throw his clubhead
straight through and out after the
ball. AS he does these things his
weight automatically slides into the
blow. 1t does not lead it. Concern

The Great Conditioner.

THERE is nothing particularly ex-
l. citing in the ancient game of walk
ing, but as an all-around health maker
and general conditioner 1t is something
hard to beat.
The late Edward Payson Weston
helped to prove that part OF the argu-
ment. He was easily the greatest of
all walkers known upon this somewhat
limited planet. Weston walked from
Boston to Washington for the inaugu-
ration of President Lincoln in 1851.
When he was in his 70s he walked
from New York to San Francisco, and
a while later walked from San Fran
cisco to New York. He was still in fine
health after he had reached his eighty
sixth year. and still a good walker.
