Still Seeks National Title.

SMTTH still Is cunning for his first
national open championship; he's
been shooting at that target since
1910. when he came to the United
States and tied his brother Aleck and
Johnny McDermott for the national
title, but lost in the play-off. He has
won nearly every open title Of any
Importance, but always fell short in
the United States and British cham
pionships. He had the British open
won at Prestwick in 1925, but the GAL
lery stampeded around him on the
final round and his crack-up enabled
Jim Barnes to come from behind and
win. So he's still trying.
The veteran Scot has a pair Of the
most sensitive hands to be found in
golf. Perhaps the steel shafts will
respond a bit better to his delicate
touch than the thick-gripped hick-
ories, although that is doubtful, for
Smith could make a hoe handle per-
form magic tricks on a golf course.
Any improvement in his play may be
mental and the mental side Of golf is
a serious and important one. Mac
still is one Of the great shot-makers Of
the game and annually the golf world
is pulling for him to win a national
open championship. for there Is a deal
OF sentiment attached to his efforts.

night at Turner's Arena in sched-

Delaney, who can sling mittens with

Should Billy evade the dynamite

Briton Says Added Footage Help

LONDON, March 23.-T. o. M.
Sopwith has told gathering OF
yachtsmen his reasons for increasing
the size of his new Endeavour.
Addressing the Royal Naval Volun-
teer Reserve Club, he said, my ex-
perience during the 1884 contest for
the Americas Cup appears to show
that the biggest boat permissible under
the rules is likely to be the most sue
cessful in deep-water courses and the
longer seas we will meet with in
American waters.
"Endeavour II accordingly will be
built to the limit of 81 feet on the
water line. Every foot of increased
water-line length implies no less than
S tons increase of displacement, how
ever, and perhaps in British waters
it won't pay to take so great a PEN

most lucrative bout of his career,
since he has been offered crack at

A f1ood-relief match, the scrap would
be staged in Pittsburgh on April Is.

capacity crowd will be Jack Kearns,

Kearns has offered Laken $4,000 for
Nichy's contract, but it is doubtful
that Laken will accept his proposition.
In a pair of six-round promising
preliminaries, Bobby Dechter will face
