MONDAY, JULY 27, 1931.° St. Paul Victory Chases Horton’s Jinx : Cochet Saves Davis Cup for France SHOOTS 72 HOLES INTEN UNDER PAR Collects $2.500 for First Win| Since Flashy Play Two | Winters Ago. l i BY PAUL@ICKELSON, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. T. PAUL, Minn, July i long, wea, golfing over. After almost a year and a half of futile campzigning, the erstwhile “Joplin Ghost” finally overtook his notorious jinx y terday by winning the $10.000 St. Paul open championship on the tide of a record par-shattering score of 278 strokes for the 72- hole jaunt for gold and famz over the Keller Club laycut. The brilliant score which he carded with rounds of 69-69—67—73 carried him ahead of a brilliant fleld of par- smashers ‘and gave him the first prize of $2,500 by tnxee shots over the de- fending champion and runner-up, “Lighthorse Ha Cooper of Chicago “There wasn't a happier fellow in the world of golf today than Smith. As goon as he pocketed his big money prize he grinned broadly and remarked: “Well, I guess I finally routed my §inx. I doubt if any one ever felt like 1 did during this depression.” It was Smith's fust golting conquest gince the Orlando, Fla, open in the Winter of 1930. When he captured that | one. he was the “wonder boy” of pro- fessional golf. having galloped away Wwith 13 championships during his Win- ter campaign to jump from the ranks of the “also ran” golfers to the bigaest money winner of American golf. But jinx caught there and held him in his clutch until he capped his stirring comeback yesterday. § Clipped Five From Par. His 67, five shots under par, on hisg third round yesterday pulled him out] of his famine. Before he turned that| sizzler in he was tied for second placc | and two shots from the lead. When he | posted it in the face of a dangerous | wind that swept the course, he hurdled | into a six-stroke lead and was nc\eri threatene A record-breaking 31 on the first | nine holes was the impetus that .\’x\(‘l him on his par-breaking journcy. He | carded five straight birdies on | nine-hole stretch and breezed over the backward nine with an easy par 36. In 1 the afternoon he played safe and sane | golf with a 73 to win. although on the first hole of the finel round his jinx almost caught up with him again. He drove a ball which apparently hooked out of bounds, followed through with a provisional ball that went clearly out of the lot and thought he had thrown away his lead, only to find his first tee shot six_inches inside. Smith's total clipped par for the hole journey by 10 shots. the best per- formance yet turned in with that bal- loon ball, which. some golfers once said couldn't be ridden under par figures. Cooper Consistent. Cooper's consistent par - bursting younds of 71—70—70—70 for a 281, one shot higher than his winning total a vear ago, wasn't good encugh to win. but it pulled down second-place mon: of $2.000 Walter Hagen of Detroit with rounds of 72—12—170—70 and George Von Elm Los Angeles with cards of 69—69—74— 72 tied for third place and collected £1.250 each with their 284 totals, while Ed Dudley, Wilmington, Del. profes-| sional, who shot a_ record-breaking 65 on his second round to take a two-shot Jead at 36 holes, slumped on his final two tours and had to be content with fith place and $800. Other big money winners and_their scores were Joe Bolfore, Duluth, Minn., 71—71—71—74—287, good for $550 that Ring Fa More Mat Terms Used at Boxing Bouts Here Muscle, Mumble Shows.

E. “POP” BAINES of Colum- bia is one of the fellows who does not like the new golf ball, but he has learned from his son-in-law Hugh Saum—also of Columbia—how to avoid arguments. The other day Baines was playing bridge at his Summer home and a hot game it was. You know, one of those games for honor, wherein the contestants played hard bridge. Along came George Howard of Washington, an old friend of the Baines family, who had taken an afternoon off and decided to run out in the country to see his friend “Pop.” He met Saum on the porch and announced he had come out to “razz’ Baines about the new ball. Saum tried to steer him from the bridge game, but Howard wanted to talk to Baines about the ball, and he finally got a chance “Pop,” he opened, hat's this I hear about you not liking the new ball>” Baines took in the situation, foresaw a lot of conversation about | | 8—s, the new ball and took all the wind out of the argument by answering, “Why George, that's not true. I like it. Don't you know, I never have played better gelf in my life than I have with this new ball. It goes a mile from the tee, it putts better than the old one, and I scored a 78 with it the other day at Columbia.
