These Smiths Are Clever Golfers Horton h, young Joplin, Mo., golf pro., is living up to the best goifing traditi of the name he bears. Although not related to McDonald and Alex Smith, who are products of the Scottish angle of the game, the M urian is playing about the most consistent game of the yeunger sc ki He has finished in the money in eight tournaments: He won one— the Catalina Isiand open, was second in the Texas open- at San An- ton'o and at La Jolla and San Diego, third in the Hawaiian and Long Beach open events and fourth at Sacramento and Los Angeles. In his Ist 35 rounds of golf Horton Smith has averaged less than 71 strokes to the round. In this period he has scored 'as high as 77 only once and he has played two 72 hole tournaments in which he was not over 70 in any round. will deserve a lot of careful watching from his fellow pros as the r play continues. He is a member of the Ryder Cup squad :h sails for England in April and it seéms probable that he will be one of the eight to uphold the honor of United States golf ‘against the British professionals. ~ Dan Howley May Prove Prophet In the spring of 1927, when Dan Howley assumed ment of the St. Louis Browns, he declared that he would build a pen- nant contender, but the task would require three years. =~ The first year, when the building started, he finished seventh and last year hurdled all the second division teams and one in the first division to finish a good third, far behind the second place Athletics, but seven games ahead of Washingtof<in fourth place. With a year t9 go on h's building program, certainly “Dashing Dan” has a chance to threaten the Yankees and Athletics in 1929. His youngsters who warmed his heart by their sparkling work last season have a year of experience under their belts and he has hopes that some of the new crop of talent will come through for him. Two of ‘the most likely prospects are Dick Ferrell, catcher; and Eddie Grimes, third baseman. Ferrell, who comes from a baseball family, is said te be ready to step right into a major league job, but Grimes is rep- resented as a player aggressive enough to force his way into the Iineup. Dan can use another winning pitcher and he may have him in “Rip” Collins, former Yankee and Tiger, back in the majors after a vear at Toronti\ Howley has a habit of convincing former major leaguers that théde is no excuse for the past tense and Collins should prove good material with which to work. Although all major league clubs waived on his services when he was sent to the minors, the Jury of baseball fans was not unanimous in the verdict that he was through. Heilmann to Desert Outfield The roster of players issued by the Detroit Tigers has “1B” after the name of Harry Heilmann. Other spring rosters from the Detroit office has had “OF” following the slugger’s name. The official an- nouncement that Heilmann is now a first baseman and no longer an outfielder ' probably means that Dale Alexander, the leading hitter of the International league, needs some tutoring in the first base play before he is ready to take assignment on a major league club. There is no suggestion that Alexander, who is three inches over six feet in height and weighs 215 pounds, can not hit any kind of pitching, but he is said to need a bit of fielding instruction. Heilmann is not needed in the Detroit outfield, as it is said ! Manager Harris plans to use a trio made up of Stone, Rice and John- son. Stone finished the season with the' Jungaleers in sensational style. Johnson was bought from San Francisco and Rice, the former St. Louis Brown, played regularly last season. This program' will leave “Fat” Fothergill out of the permanent picture, but he may chance it. His bat caused a reconsideration last year, after young Basterling had run wild for a time in the Tiger outfield. KEEPS FIT FOR TENNIS ON $60,000 INDOOR COURT e e Rut ST.
