D3 Horton Smith Again Is Big Money Getter During Winter Campaign on Links STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE JOPLIN PRO VIGTOR N FIVE TOURNEYS Accumulates $15,500 During Winter—Sarazen Second. Others Far Behind. BY DILLON GRAHAM. TLANTA, April 4—For the second consecutive year, Horton Smith tops the field of money winners among the Winter golfing troupe. ‘The wandering professional, who learned his golf in Missouri's| Ozarks, not only has pocketed the | most money, but also has won | more tournaments than any of his fellow cash performers. Victorious in five tournaments, hibition matches. Gene Sarazen, other pros are far behind. Smith_enjoyed a successful period on the Pacific Coast, winning the Pasadena, Berkeley ard Portland, Oreg., opens. He | was second to Craig geles tournaments. Leaving the pros during their jour- | Bloomfleld fin- 1shing second in six and placing hign up in a number of others, Smith ac- | cumulated prizes of $15,500. In addition | he plaved in many renumerative ex- | . stocky New Yorker. who won golf’s largest prize of $10,000 at Agua Caliente, ranks second, with $13.500 for his season’s labors, but the ' nomad army nrln at Savannah, Ga., where he took first honors after nosing out Bobby Jones, national open cham- pion. His Florida tour brought him first place in the central open at Orlando, second in the rich La Gorce open at Miami and a tie with Frank Walsh for second at St. Petersburg. Smith, with the majority of the N tion’s leading professionals, took a nes lacing from Bobby Jones in the Soutn- eastern open at Augusta this week, but Horton topped the professionals and took the $1,000 first prize. He finished eighth in the North and South open at Pinehurst—an event he won last year. Thanks to his victory at Caliente, Sarazen enjoyed a most profitable Win- ter. Previous to the Mexican event he had won the Miami open and had fin- ished fourth in the Hawailian open. During the Florida scason he took $1,000 first money in the West Coast open at Belleair, Pensacola and picked up small bits of change in the La Gorce and the Scuth- eastern play. Al Espinosa Busy. Al Espinosa, the veteran Chicago shot maker, played in practically all of the tournaments from California to Caro- lina and nearly always with success. He comes third with prizes totaling more than $6.000. He won the Houston open, tied with Smith for seccnd at Agua Ca- liente and placed well in the others. By winning the $5,000 first prize at La Gorce, Bill Mehlhorn turned a rather | lean season into a profitable one. He had earned less than $400 in all the other events in which he participated. Denny Shute, young Columbus, Ohio, player, joined the big money winners by virtue of his victories in the Los An- | geles and Texas opens. His receipts run well over $5,000. Other approximate earnings: Ed Dudley, Wilmington, Del., $3,440: n Woed 1in the pjlly Burke, Greenwich, Conn., $3.310; Hawalian open and tied for second n | Tommy Armour, Detroit, $3,1 the Agua Caliente and in the Los An- | Manero, Elmsford, N.

Y., $2,800. added $600 second prize at| HE annual Spring invitation golf tournament.of the Indian Spring Golf Club is definitely off for 1930. Announcement to this effect was made by club officials today. It may hold a tournament next year. Reasons given for the cancellation of the event—since its inception back in 1923 one of the most popular of the regular Spring tourneys—were the mul- tiplicity of invitation tournaments about Washington during the coming season and the fact that it would deprive mem- bers who do not play in the tournament of the use of their course for almost an entire week. Indian Spring is the second club to announce definitely that it will abandon its invitation tournament this year. Manor announced more than a month ago that its tournament will not be held this year, giving somewhat similar reasons. | Congressional announces through its | golf committee chairman. Guy Mason, that it may not hold a Spring tourney. Dates set aside for Congressional are June 24-27. “Brick” Wood, assistant pro at Wash- ington, and “Red” Cunningham, pro at Burning Tree, are practically convinced now that Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park and Al Treder of Manor, are their masters at golf. Wood and Cunningham fell before the accuracy and power of Shorey and Treder in their first match of the year, 3 and 2, at Burning Tree and now are about ready to put their pride in their pockets and take a handi- cap from their rivals. They insist, how- Y | ever, that they play a return engage- ment and get a chance to get their money back. One of the significant developments of the recent tournaments in the South, according to the Washington pros who played in them, is the way the top- notch professionals are taking to steel shafts in both wood and iron clubs. Tommy Armour, former Congressional pro, who has always been a booster for wood shafts up to this year, is the latest big-timer to turn to steel. Tommy is playing today with a complete set of steel-shafted clubs. Starting at the top and going right down the line, through Horton Smith, Espinosa, Sarazen, Cruickshank, Mehl- horn and the other top-notch profes- sionls, all are using steel shafts. The vogue for steel shafts has gone so far that one of the Washington pro- fessionls was advised by Victor East to | hold off ordering a Spring supply of wooden shafts, since East believes the price of wood shafts is due for a sud- den drop, due to the vogue for steel. Another local professional views the !fancy for steel to be only a passing | phase, and predicts that wooden shafts will come back to popularity. Inasmuch as he claims the pros who play with steel shafts are paid to play with steel, he can see no advantage in their use beyond the money they get for using them. After the Southeastern open was won by Bobby Jones, using wooden shafts all the way through, this profes- sional asked some of the steel shafts boosters the following question: “You fellows may be right about steel shafts, but how does it come that Bobby Jones, without a steel shaft in his bag, was able to outstrip the best of you by 13 strokes?” Our observation has been that as the professional does, so do the members of his club. who look upon the club pro as the last word in golf knowledge. In this connection it is of more than passing interest to note that the steel shaft is the brain child of Allan Lard, famed Chevy Chase golfer of other WooDWARD & [.OTHROP 1880 The Formula for A Smart Easter Wardrobe et IHONS GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Yoo o —patronize Tue MENS STORE And Its Specialized Service The Men's Store is exclusively a man’s specialty shop where you will always find that which is exactly right” for the discriminating man's wardrobe.

The Earl of Kinnoul Balhousie Castle—PERTH Member.of the House of Lords N selecting Styles for HIS MAJESTY THE AMERICAN CITIZEN we went to HIS LORDSHIP THE EARL OF KINNOUL. He is a real, live honest-to-goodness English Earl who lives in his Town House in London while Parliament is in session and spends his week-ends and holidays in his castle in Scotland. The Earl of Kinnoul is a man of wealth and social position and is recognized today as one of the best dressed men in the House of Lords. It isn’t sufficient to send a man to England to look at the shoes in the London shop windows and pick out the Style he personally likes best. If it were possible, you would like to have the Earl of Kinnoul go shopping with you and show you the Styles that his friends are wearing, and ask him to pick out the Styles that he would select for himself. And that is just what we did. We couldn’t ask the Earl to spend the time to personally interview every Custom Bootmaker in London, but we actually bought 25 of the most popular models from the best known bootmakers in London and asked the Earl of Kinnoul to drop in and look them over. This collection of shoes represented a big variety of Styles in different patterns and leathers, and after carefully examining every shoe, the Earl had no hesitation in finally selecting this new Semi-Brogue Brown Willow Calf by Bunting of Dover Street. We paid 6 guineas ($30.24) for Bunting’s original hand made model, and we placed an order for 44 pairs so that we could actually show you today, side by side, one of Bunting’s ($30.24) Originals with the ($6.60) Regal Reproduction in every Regal Store. ‘The Upper Leather in Bunting’s Original is an Imported Brown Willow Calf tanned in Oisterwyk, Holland, and we are using exactly the same tannage in the Regal Reproduction. Last, Leather, Pattern, Design and every Style Detail is exactly the same. We want you to compare the two shoes — George W. Bunting’s original English hand-made ($30.24) model selected by the Earl of Kinnoul, and the Regal Reproduction made in our own factory and sold in our own stores for $6.60. of al = Reproduction G.
