A diamond ring, now on display in Perkins' Jeweiry store, will be awarded to the woman being ad- judged the best waltzer for the ser- ies of four nights. According to C. F. Wagner, match- maker for the club, efforts will be made to secure Willow Brook park for open air boxing shows. Wag- ner considers the price of $125 per night set upon the park by the park bourd as too high. He states that with this price and the expense of setting up his ring. getting chairs, having lights strung. and hiring an army of policemen, the expenses for the shows would be prohibitive. Because of Lthe openness of the stadium at Willow Brook park, a large number of folicerien would be ruquired to protect the ‘ox office. Wagner considers $75 a top 'price for the use of the park and he states that he will offer this proposition to the board at the next opportunit Bome members of the board have been quoted as saying that they don’ care whether the park is used for hoxing or not. They state that that is the reason why the price has been set at such a high figure.

Smith and Chiapetti played arovind together in Jacksonviile, Fla., during the past winter and the Sequ:n pro declarcs that 8mith is the coming “Bobby Jones of pros.” He says that Smith's stroke is even and vnper- turbed ali througn and whether he gets in trouble or not, his mental balance is not upset. He thinks that 8mith is due to make a great showing in the open this year and that, although he wouldn’t predict that 8mith would win the event, he is better than an even bet to capture first honors. Some of the greatest golfers pre- dict that Smith will be far ahead of the entire ficld in & year or two and Chiapetti agrees fully with this pre- diction, QLF, (& E DY VERNE WICKHAM A poor duffer politely went up and held the pin for his partner who w; in the trap short of the green—and see what happened?

BY JIGGER Horton Smith, the Flying Ghast of Joplin, Mo, attained his major- ity yesterday and celebrated his twenty-first birthday by winning th, international golf championship for professionals at St. Cloud, France, | With the record breaking score of tended an impromptu birthday par- ty on the home green when Smith holed his last putt to finish five strokes ahead of Aubrey Boomer, professional of the course. Smith, the new star of the golfing world, added a round of 70 and an- other of 71 to his brace of §6s scor- ‘ed the day before on the 6507 yard course. He commenced the da play with a comfortable lead of strokes over his nearest competitor. He shot the final two rounds in 141, one under par and yet his margin was cut to five strokes because of | the most remarkable round in the tournament, played by Boomer who made a 61. Gene Sarazen finished third LY playing a 67 on his third round. Fourth place went to Johnny Far- rell who scored 290. Andre Boyer made fifth place with 292 and Wal- ter Hagen tied with Henry Cotton for sixth place, 3 Most Remarkable Event The tournament proved to be one of the most remarkable events in modern golfing history, establishing as it did records that are likely ‘o nd for a long time in the annals of the royal and ancient game. It pitted against each other two out- standing young pros, each of whom had burned up courses in their short careers. Aubrey Boomer, British professional, shot a 65 in the French open at La Boulje in 1922, over a course of 6646 yards long, going out in 31 and returning in 54. Starting yesterday fourteen strokes behind 8mith, Boomer ashot a 61, ten strokes under par and then match- ed Smith’s previous records of 66 to finish second only five strokes beyond his rival for modern golfing honors. It took fron nerve for Horton Smith to stand up under this terrific drive against his lead but the youngster from Missouri stood tha gaff and never faltered. Hagen kept him out of the foursome matches in the Ryder Cup play because he felt 8mith was too inexperienced. But when the Joplin Marvel got in 278 atrekes.

In the thousand guineas event he qual- ified with 152 and oene his Afirsi match and then was eliminated hy his lyder Cup teammate, EI. Dudley. Got Farly Start When he was sixteen he enter- ed the tate motor tournament of Missouri and got to the semi-finals. Joe Kirkwood, trick shot pro, en- countered him twice and twice was beaten by the kid from the “show me" state. “You are good, boy,” said Joe. “Not quite good enough.” countered Horton. *“Wait a couple of years.” This winter the period of grace was up. 8mith went to California and FlorMa to try himself out. He prov- ed to the satisfaction of the Ameri- can golfing public that he was more than “good.” He won tournament after tournament and copped some- thing like $15,000 in prize money. And a few years before his father had discouraged him from taking the game seriously. “You can't make a living at golt,” he had prophesied to Lis son. On Ryder Cup Team 8mith’'s record during the winter won Rim & place on the Ryder cup team, the youngest American ever to gain this distinction. In England he had to give up his set of steel-shaft- ed clubs and adapt himself to hickory-shafted ones. This was con- sidered to be a handicap that might put him out of the running. But he overcame the obstacle and proved to Europ= as he had proved to America that he had the ‘“‘guts” to win.

The rulings are rather involved. but this: “In stroke competition, when a ball lying within 20 yards Games Tomorrow Pittsfield at Hartford. (80 feet) of the hole is played, and strikes, or is stopped by the flag stick or the person standing at the hele, the penalty shall be strokes. In match play, the penalty is the loss of the hole. 1If the dis- tance is greater than 20 yards there shall be no penalty.” 1t the ball hits your caddy or your partner in match play the penalty stands, but if it should hit your opponent's caddy that is just & rub of the green. The reason for this is that it is within the realm of possibility that your caddy might purposely allow himself to be hit to cause the ball to stop near the pin. The ramifications of the rule make it seem rather involved and hard to understand, but it should be rather easy to remember the simple tule. Tt means if the ball hits the flag stick from within 20 yards there 18 & penalty of two strokes in medal play and loss of the hole in match play.
