PLAYING DAYS MAY BE OVER
Heart AiIment Clouds
Future for Hal Smith

he'll be the third Cardinal
catcher incapacitated at the
peak of his career. The others
were Bill Delaney, one of the
heroes of the Gas House Gang
/ of 1894, and Bill Sarni. De-
lancey was stricken with tuber-
culosiS in 1885 when he was
only %. Sarni suffered a heart
attack less than 10 years ago
after being traded to the then
New York Giants and was
forced to retire from the game.
Smith was hitting .248 with
10 RBI when he entered the
hospital. Ironically, his average
was on the climb.
This is his sixth season with
the Cardinals. His career bat
ting average for the first five
years was .259, but his field
ing percentage was sparkling
.988 with only 81 errors. He
made the National League ALL
Star team in 1857 and again in
1858.
Smith Joined the Cardinals
in 1856 and batted .282, his
high-water mark in the majors.
He broke in with Albany, Ca,
in 1949 and then played with
Hamilton, N. Y; Allentown,
Pa: Omaha and Houston be-
fore the Cards beckoned.
Smitty said he might be re-
leased from the hospital Sum-
day.
I'm supposed to take it easy
for three weeks, not stop COM
pletely, but just take things
easy" he said. II feel pretty
good, considering everything"

ST. LOUIS, June 81 (AP).-
Catcher Hal Smith. the good
humor man of the st. Louis
Cardinals, faced an uncertain
baseball future today because
of a heart ailment.
The clubs official announce
ment yesterday said Smiths re-
turn to baseball "is uncertain
at this time" but Smith said
one doctor told him his playing
days were over.
The 30-year-old receiver, IA
vorite of the Redbird pitching
staff because of his sure
handed mitt, dry wit and skill
tul calls of pitches, entered
Jewish Hospital June 10. He
complained Of pains of The
upper abdomen and chest.
Heart Condition Confirmed
1t was feared he had a heart
condition and yesterdays an
nouncement confirmed it. 1t
said he is suffering from "a
coronary artery condition" and
heart specialists have recon-
mended complete separation
from physical activity for an
indefinite period"
Obviously" said Red Bird
General Manager Bing Devine,
Smiths return to active base
bah play is uncertain at this
time"
The Cards have requested
that Smith be placed on the
disabled list, but have not de-
cided on a replacement for him.
Smith. who often snapped
fellow Redbird players out of
the doldrums with a joke or a
twangy rendition of a couple of
verses from the hillbilly tunes
he wrote, tried to buck himself
up.
Average Was Climbing
He (the unnamed doctor)
told me in his opinion wouldn't
be able to play any more"
Smith said. I'm very disap-
pointed it turned out this way,
but I've been assured by Bing
Devine I needn't worry. ThereIl
be a place for me somewhere
in the Cardinal organization"
Maybe the doc is wrong"
he added. Maybe I'll be able
to play again."

Frank Emmet was a specta-
tor at the qualifying round oi
the Maryland Amateur golt
championship at Chevy Chase
Club yesterday, looking the
part of the man who had
helped create a monster.
For the past several years
Emmet has been lending a
hand with the Baltimore jun
ior golf program, whose spon-
sors have been envious Of
Franks successes in 80 years Of
working with the District jun
iorS.
Apparently Frank has out
done himself. The medalist and
co-runnerup for the medal in
the State Amateur were recent
graduates of the Baltimore
junior program, Scott Schwarz
of the Country Club of Mary
land and Nelson Bell Of Hill
endale.
Career Low Round
Schwarz, 19-year old Villa
nova sophomore, had the low
est round of his life, a two
under par 81. That won the
medal by two strokes over Bell
18-year old upcoming fresh
man at the University o1
Maryland, who tied Jerry Nc
Ferren, the former District
Amatur champion from Manor
home on leave from the Air
Force. They had COS.
There were is players at u
and under on a perfect day
for scoring, and eight players
with rs played off for the last
four spots in the champion
ship flight Of 80. Two rounds
of match play are scheduled
today, quarter finals and semi
finals tomorrow, and the &C.
hole finals Friday.
But the course played tough
for Claude Wild, former cham
pion and National Amateur
quarter-finalist last year, who
missed with a 76.
Three 1S-Year-OIds
Bell was one of three 18-year-
oldS to make the title flight. The
others were Mike Briggs,
Georgia Tech-bound son of Bill
Briggs, USGA committeeman
from Columbia, and Robert
Murphy, who helps out in the
pro shop at the host club.
Briggs and Murphy had 72s.
John owen, jr., of Manor and
Bill Gartner of Argyle had 70s,
while the Ills included Bobby
Brownell, 11-time District Am
ateur champion, who birdied 16
and IT, and Perky Cullinane,
present District Amateur cham
pion.
One Of the top fields in the
recent history of the 41-year-
old State Amateur starts match
play. The principal absentees
are Deane Beman, the National
Amateur champion, who did not
compete; Carl Lohren, the
Middle Atlantic titlist, who
withdrew at the last minute
because his wife momentarily
was expecting a baby, and Wild,
who failed to qualify.
BOgart Has Weird Round
Ralph Bogart. seven-time
Maryland Amateur champion,
and president of the Maryland
State Golf Association, proved
the pairings were not rigged
when he stepped smack into a
match with Jerry McFerren.

Lewis Mumford, in his
new book, THE City in
History" says. the L'Enfant
plan for Washington was
brutally massacred; in
time, usually disrupted and
defiled by a wide scattering
of unkempt and irrelevant
buildings.
THE assumed right Of the
private cars to go any place
in the city and park any
where is nothing less than
a license to destroy the city,"
he adds. "L'Enfant's plan,
by its very invitation to
traffic, has now proved it's
own worst enemy"
What would Mr.. johnson
suggest in the way of a re-
placement for the Nations
Capital? How would he cope
with the motorized car?
What would he do to memo
rialize the past?
He himself is quoted as
saying, in Selden Rodman's
book, Conversations with
Artist, II like the thought
that what we are to do on
this earth is embellish it for
its greater beauty, SO that
oncoming generations can
look back to the shapes we
leave here and get the same
thrill that I get in looking
back at theirs-at the Par
