It will be r??called that Smith aj few weeks ago won the California I open golf championship. This! achievement did not cause much re mark among those who follow golf| casually, but . golfers who fire . upi when a linksman shakes a fist.' or rather a club, in the face of fate' pal ! n great deal cf attention to I _Smith's victory. And now, teamed up with Bill Melhorn, he has won the greatest honor of the winter. Itememb. r MaeDonald Smith? About ten years ago Smith was tear ing up thinus In the New York met ropolitan district and other golfing (Centers. His Improvement for two or three years was steady, brilliant, in sooth. Everyone began to Iook Th?-n his game br^an to go back , on him. He dropped out of sight.' In the course or the war came a re-l port he was working in a munitions' plant. Then he was forgotten. The \ sad. sad story, it was said, of a man; who had gone ahead too fast amd lost his iiead. Later came word from Frisco that he was playing on local courses. I that he hud married and had got I religion. However that may be, the j fact remains that last year Smith : and his wife sailed to England for I the Ilritish open and that the Cali I fornian finished two strokes behind Havers, the winner of the match, and one stroke behind Walter Ha gen. the runner up. He played fine golf in the National open and golfers all over the country pricked up their ears and admitted Smith to the in ner fold. Then this winter came Be California open, and now the Mi nimi laurels. Good for MacDonald Smith! HAZEN CUYLER IS HOPE OF PIRATES Rut If Ho Full* Down ami Richer Han Krlapsr of Law I Year'n Ailment*, Woe to Pirates. II) JOHN II. FOSTKIt (Copyright. 1024. By 'Hit Advance) New York. March 8. ? Should Big bee of the Pittsburgh Pirates again ? show signs this year of the illness] with which he was afflicted last ' year, the Pirate outfield might be embarrassed, as Reb Russell has gone back to Join the slugging chor us of the American Association.! Tough luck Reb had. In 1022 he was the bustin'est buster of the; Northwest, and in 1923 he couldn't' crack a smile. Hut Pittsburgh has one new out-! lelder to whom so little attention has been paid tluit the baseball' cri tics of the South say the big league fellows are blind or wrapped up In their own recollections. He is Hast-! en Cuyler, who played with Nash ville in 1923 and was voted by the' baseball writers of the South to have been the most valuable player to his team of any man in the Southern As-; sociatlon. Cuyler had 383 putouts to his credit and 35 assists, both records, i He also had 12 errors, but a man with as many putouts as he had is: entitled to make a few errors. Cuy ler batted .340, lacking five hits of making 200. The list- included 39 j doubles, 17 triples and nine home j runs. And that isn't all. He stole 68 bases, which is more than any minor < leaguer has done for some time. He . also got 55 bases on balls, whim j shows that he is something of a waiter. Suppose that Cuyler does as well; In the field for the majors as he did in the minors, which is not too much I to expect, and suppose he bats 20 j per cent worse. Then Pittsburgh ? will not have to worry much even if! Dighee doesn't come through. Suppose Cuyler should make th3; Pittsburgh team and should havej ns bi^ a year in base Stealing as he! did for Nashville last season, and' suppose tffat Carey should prick up, his ears and -begin to run the bases1 as he did in the years when he was the league's best runner. What a pair. Pittsburgh would possess! Pittsburgh hasn't exploited Cuyler one-tenth as much as O'Connell, the: California boy, was exploited by his purchase by the Giants. And yet he j CYCLE RACING IS THE RAGE AGAIN | Nohody Known Why But Fans are There With Look j of Devotees 011 Their Faces. By PAIR l'l.AY Coayrigtit, |9J?. y . tit Advmne? New York, March 8 ? Anyone who' stopped riding a bicycle back in the nineties when a bike so fay as pleas ure purpose was concerned, was put in the museum alongside the stuffed! dodo, the hair cushion sofa and chro 1110 of grandpa, will wonder where comes the kick in this six day race at the Madison Square Garden. The place is filled with guys who will sit back at a boxing match and boo their heads off if the air isn't filled with knocked out teeth, gore| and loud moans of pain. Yet while the pedal pushers grind round and1 round like squirrels in a wheel cage ( here these fans sit leaning forward ! with pop-eyes and open mouths. ! The answer, of course is that they are hypnotized, doped. That round and round business hits them like a1 snifTot coke only at the Garden there ! is no one to wake them from their! dream. And it isn't against the law. ? The writer almost got doped him self last night as he circulated -among the galleries trying to get the1 works on why these straw ride per- i sons are willing to give up good j money for a show like this. There is something in it that gets one.! there certainly is. First of all there's! played better ball than O'Connell did ! before the liitter came to New York.; Harnhart is pretty sure to go into right field for the Pirates. When ' Rarnhart broke into the National, | some one said he wouldn't live long . enough to get the first letter of his name into print. II ut he cracked ' curves for .324 last season, whicn , certainly looks like staying. I RESH RAGRANT LOWERS RYAN FLORAL CO., Inc.

And i there art* hot dog merchants and in- 1 side guys of various aorta, including! the geniuses who wrfte about this thing year after year and make it I seem exciting. Then there's the pine board track.' uptilted so that when a rider falls! he goes sliding down ii to the Infield like a hobo ejected from a Chatham) Square bean Joint. Hour after hour] a dozen or so riders go pumping around this gleaming pine oval, their | faces set like Hartley Madden's in | the fourteenth round when he hopes to last out the fifteenth and ruin his opponent's rep. From overhead com.es the preen yellow glow of the electric lamps in the roof. It filters down through the big arena, gets all mixed up with the smoke of five cent cigars and creates an atmosphere effect that can J be seen only in the grand canyon, and not even there except when a thunderstorm from Arizona drifts in to the big gash and gets, tangled up with a sandstorm heaving In froui the Utah side. And no picture can portray those faces, fliose figures i leaning forward over the gallery | railings. Faces of all sorts ? vicious , faces, brutal faces, the faces of mor ons or mentally worse; the ferret face of the dip and moll buzzer; the so^plen countenance of the Park Row bum who finds it more exciting 10 > rest here than in the ten cent lod* , ing houses. All these high up toward the j eaves. Lower down in the more fa | vored seats there are people one 'knows; politicians, lawyers, pugilis tic actors. Jockeys, oh, everyone ? ; but all doped like those above. And Jail around, except for the band, sod ; den stillness. And then ? a shout. Down on the track below some rider has come to life. " With head down he glances ! around the oval as though demons I from the pit were after him. And in I another second they are, as a matter I of fact. Whizz, whizz, whizz. The garden awakens; cheers, cries, ex clamations rend the fetid air. Then suddenly the excitement dies down. Hegins once more the deadly grind. tessH f THE >: | SPLENDID QUALITIES If I LIGHT, ItKSIMKXT AND HKALTHFCI, ? A TIIKAT VOn SKNSITIVK FKKT Vou Will Knjoy Its Comfort.
