Sp‘eak'ing of Sports Yesterday Pete Perakos, famous Greek cinder track expert, added another scalp to his large collection ©o? hoary pates. While thousands of sport fans felt fagged from the heat, Pete dozed in his tilted office chair. As he dozed, he dreamed—of the days in Athens long ago .There came to mind his feats of strength. on the cinder paths In‘ the days of yore. Then came the happy thought of the second rece with Joe Hergstrom, the wkidding S8candinavian. This spoiled the pleasant thoughts and, gritting his molars, Pete thought to himself, “On a nice warm day like this, T can get a little workout be- fore the race.” He started to burn up the wires with the handball ex- perts in town and after two snappy games, a shower and a rub-down, Pete was rarin’ to go. However, Hergstrom could not be found. Without so much as consult- ing his coach, Pete called Joe on the phone but he was informed that Joe was laid up with an infected foot and could not talk much less race. Promptly Pete seized opportunity by the forelock and claimed the sec- ond race by default. He now boasts victories in handball and track over the Terrible B8wede and is only awalting the day when he can take his trusty clubs and hie himself over the links and add his third conquest. Hergstrom, now in the hospital, sent word that the only way Pete could win a race from him was to wait until Joe couldn't walk and then issue his challenge. Johnny Clinch scored a knockout victory over Mike McKenzie of New York in the last round of a six- round bout in Waterbury last night. This makes five victories in a row for Johnny, four by knockouts and the other by decision. The Holy Cross Junior baseball team will- practice tomorrow morn- ing at 11 o'clock at the Washington school diamond. All members of the team are asked to be on hand. President Kenneth Saunders of the City Baseball league has temporarily declared the forfeit granted to the Holy Cross aggregation over the Car- dinals last Saturday, as a no-contest. The game is not being counted in the standing. * Munagers of only two teams were present at the meeting last night to discuss the failure of the Cardinals to appedr for a scheduled game. Manager Daley of the Cardinals Insists that he notified the manager of the Holy Cross team that his crew would not be on hand for the con- test. This, however, could not be verified due to the fact that the Holy Cross manager was not at the mecting last night.

The president ruled that the game shall be kept from the stand- ings until a later meeting of the league at which time the question of forfeiture will be decided.

BY BRIAN BELL (Associated Press Writer) New York, June 21 UP—Macdon- ald Smith has the unenviable dis- tinction of being acclaimed the greatest golfer in the United States who has never won a major cham- pionship. The smooth swinging Smith was born in Carnoustie, Scotland, but has lived in America for 20 years, as had many great chances and 'wice it seemed he would certainly ‘When he was a mere lad he tied for the lead in the Unitetd States championship of 1910. In the play- off with his brother, Alex Smith, end J. J. McDermott, Alex won. In 1925 Mac seemed to have the British open title in his grasp. At the end of the third round he wa five strokes ahead of “Long Jim" Barnes, the ultimate wifiner. The frail 8mith fell a victim of the gal- lery. He had to fight rather than play through a crowd of 15,000 fol- lowing his «very move, many of them fellow Scots rooting for Mim. He fell a victim of their enthusiasm. A score of 78 would have won for him, but he took 82 and finished fourth. In a previous round he had scored 69. He was third in the British classic in 1923 and tied for third in 1924. He was tied for fourth the same vear in the U'nited States Open. He tiedtied for sixth in the last Open competition at Olympia_ Fields. Smith was highly favored in the 1929 British Open and started well with a score of 73. However, to 78's and an 80 in the other rounds ruined his chances. | Smith hits a golf ball with effort- | ! | | Jacobson, 3 MAC DONALD SMITH less ease, sweeping it from the| ground rather than taking turf as do practically all other top-notchers. He has never blasted a divot from a fairway and should be the warm friend of every greenkeeper. The lall Scot is regarded as a veteran on account of his years of competition, zut he is only 37 and his age is not enough to rpevent realization of his ambition to win'a blue ribbon event. Twice in a row he has won the rich Los Angeles Open, and while he has not com- peted in winter tournaments on a wholesale basis he has won his share of the purses.
