BY QUIN HALL

Though the peak of the snowball season has been posed and profes- sional golfers who bamstorm through the palm-tree belts in quest of fame and fortune every Winter are round- ing into the home stretch, there are still some rich purses to shoot at in Florida. Chief among these, of course, is the La Gorce Open, which carries cash prizes totalling $15,000. This important annual event is due to get under way March 18, and it is expected that most of the famous golf names of the country will be among those present when they start teelng off. ‘ v

The Winter golf season this year 18S been particularly interesting in view of the fact that it has introduc- ed a new face among the seasoned top-notchers who have had things their own way for a long time, Horton Smith, the twenty-year-old pro froln Joplin, Mo, is the fellow who has blossomed forth as a real menace and in all ~of the important tournaments held earlier in the sea- son in California and in the 16W amp-overs which are being made be- tween the West and the East COB-Eli. young Smith has succeeded in mes-l-

ing up the form sheet. Among the coming pros he stands out as the prime favorite of the golfing gods.

Smith, who left College to become assistant professional at the Spring- ﬁeld Country Club, of which he was at that time a junior member, has clipped his way through the Winter campaign thus far like a. veteran, and by his amazing performances on the West Coast he will be among the favorites to getin the big money dur- ing the play in Florida.

He shot par or less in both the Western Open and the Chicago Dis- trict Open, ancl in the fast company of the P.G.A. anhuai title tilts ' he reached the semi-ﬁnals before being eliminated by Al Espinosa, the run- ner-up. On the Paciﬁc Coast, the micl-Westeriler was easily the seri- sotion of the early Winter shootings, and. in the six Opens he entered in California, or a few miles off shore, Smith never finished farther back than fourth. One of his outstanding feats was the breaking of the course record for the San Dieso Country Club's Cliula Vista links. During the San Diego Open Horton set a. 118W mark when he shot the course in 66. Although still a youngster and until

refused to yield his prominent place to the _ case-hardened and grizzly

so spectacular that it is diﬁlculi; to ﬁnd a parallel in golfing history,

In these Winter Ineets even the second, third and fourth prizes are respectable in size and so young Smith's proﬁts have probably mount- ed to a. fairly handsome ﬁgure, and with the cash which isstill to be distributed in Florida, Horton stands to ﬁnish his ﬁrst Winter season witn quite a bankroll. He has already been tentatively chosen .a. member of this year's Ryder Cup team and if he is eventually taken along when the ﬁnal selections are made he will be the youngest member of the squad.

Gene Sarazen has been bowling them over in the tournaments which have already been held in Florida, bur. it must be remembered that Geno ranks among the so-called grizzly veterans of the game. Smith will en- counter the keenest competition when he tees off for the La Gorce.Open, which was won last year by Johnny Farrell with a record score. but the"? are a lot. of fans who will be cheering for the youngster. It‘s time for a new face or two. Golfing fame has been

the P. G. A. meet practically uu-

known in golfing circles Smith has

menopolized by the favored few for too long a time. .

GAMENESS OF WILLIAMS

o

Percy Williams is known as a. Dha- riomenal sprinter and a modest young gentleman, but there is another side to his character that was brought to light Just the other clay. Last Mon- day night at. the New York A. Ola sprint the officials held a rope across the track under the stand past the finishing line to prevent the runners from winding up on Eighth avenue. The rope was carelessly held taut and the ﬁeld, unable, to fully stop their hurtling dash, crashed into it and wcnt down, with William underneath the pile. Ho sustained painful bruises on his arms and slightly in- jured one of his million-dollar legs. but he cams right back the other night and won a fut duh at Detroit. Ho could have been excused for with- drawing from the Detroit racanrid he could have broadcast his injuries into the ears of l. ryrnpathctic world. but he did neither. only o. mlill para graph in a New York paper mention- ed the mishap and it is apparent that iliiarru was luctant to discuss his injuries in any wly that might cause th to be construed as an allbifA

ICE llama

A large and well pleasedcrowd of racing fans gathered on Stanley speedway last Saturday afternoon to witness some of the closest and fast- est raclng that has taken. place for many years.

The free-for-ail was a wonderful race between Velvet Todd and Na- tional R. These mares haven't dohe any racing for a few years. Np- tional R. is owned by John McLeod. Bradalbane. Johnny has her excep- tionally fleshy this winter whicn partly accounts for her dropping in to second place. Velvet Toddis a pacer of high degree, owned by Roo- ert Stead of Mayﬁeld, and so far on her racing reign she has yet to lose her first heat. She is in excellent racing condition this season. Her driver is Mr. Albert Craswell of Oyster Bed whose ability is well known on this side of the province. A certain event, of his that is re- mcmbered by many is the day on Cymbra. Track when Albert's high u=heeled sulky collided on the back stretch and was so badly disquali- ﬁed that he mounted the trottei-‘s back and ﬁnished in ﬁrst position and judging from his appearance at present he could still accomplish the same stunt if necessary, _

Sherwood Bell won the 2.40 class at the ﬁnish of the fourth heat, Belle is sired by Acqutra, ﬁrst dam by Parkwood, second by Black Pilot, she was raised by Mr, Charles M:- Leod of Stanley who has been the owner of several such good horses from the same dam as Sherwood and Carnpbellton Belle.

Little Bill owned by Roy Lidstone having the misfortune of breaking down his hobbies during the ﬁrst score held back the heat for some minutes but they certainly made up got the word “go." -

Toddford G. was leading in the first heat when he threw a quarter boot which caused him to ﬁnish in third position. Billy first and Belle a close second. The second heat was captured by Belle. The third heat was extraordinarily close all the way through, won by Mickey Aubrey in the last few seconds. Toddford G. being crowded out from the start and 85119011113’ at the ﬁnish as George saw he couldn't make it without antag- onizing with steel spokes on both left and right. ThLs is the third winter that Toddford has raced hard and fast without the slightest introduc- tion to the course until he turned in to score.

Mickey Aubrey had Just changed un der Mr. Prowse Yeds guidance the evening before the race and evident- ly they were scarcely acquainted on Saturday.

The 2.50 class was ﬂlled with speed. Miss Kentucky picked on the first two heats very easily and led the third almost to the wire when La- copia. Lass rushed her into a slight break, the latter winning by a. neck. Lass seemed to be in dandy shape for racing in the last three heats, her ﬁnishing strides developing ry for the occasion. The owners and drivers of these hobbled pacers, Mr. Blair Andrews and Mr. Bernie Hynes have created considerable admiration on their part for the way they had them so well ﬁtted in their straps and going ﬁve long heats without a hitch. .

Upton Boy and Ruby M. were ﬁghting hard for third place. Caven- dish Girl was very unsteady owing to no work out for a. couple of weeks. We expect to see her in a. pair of new suspenders before long. King was away from home in this class, his ﬁtter Mr. ,Dugan had his shoes and weights changed the night before, which proved a handicap to his day's sport.

Hockey At Arena Saturday Night

A very exciting and closely con- tested game of hockey was played at the Arena. Rink on Saturdaynight between two Canadian National Rail- way teams, the Nationals and Lions, the former made up from the Oper- ating Department and the latter tak- en from the Freight Department staff.

The game started promptly at 8 o'clock, both sides ably supported by a number of fans. G. Proctor of the Lionspmade the ﬁrst brilliant rush. and‘ it seemed as though it would be successful but Referee John Gordon's whistle spoiled a goal. Milt and Bill then did some very effective com- bination work but could not gct through the Lions strong defence. The ﬁrst goal was scored by Felix‘ Herreil for the Lions. Judging by the batting, Henry thought he was Plat‘- ing baseball, but he soon got down to business after a second goal was scored by Herrell of the Lions. after a brilliant end to end rush. At this, point of the game, both teams Put on5 their six subs.

Norman and Sandy Mac had a col- lision 0nd it was thought the Safety First Department would be called upon but" no casualties resulted. Tile second period started off after ﬁve minutes rest with all players feeling

Dapper Don

The ice races on Saturday after- noon attracted about 300 spectators The afternoon was clear and sun- shiny, but fairly cold. The course had been nicely cleared and the slight wind in the rear of the horses made for fast time. There were four classes raced and the ﬁnishes were much closer than on the previous Wednesday.

CLASS A PACE

This had ﬁve starters. After three or-four scores they got away with Colorado Mack and Jessica the Great going great guns. Jessica the Great got a neck to the good at the eighth and despite the strenuous exertions of the driver of Colorado Mack be could not quite make it up, Jessica ﬁnishing with a slight, advantage. This was a great heat. Dorothy- E. was a close third, Prince Mac fourth.

Second Heat-All the horses got away on even terms, Dorothy E. and Colorado Mack made the racing throughout, with Jessica slightly in the rear. Colorado Mack had about half a length to the good at the ﬁnish, Dorothy E. second, Jessica the Great third and Prince Mac fourth;

Third Heat-This was another great race between Jesslca- the Great and Colorado Mack. Jessica the Great managed to get asllght lead early in the heat and held it throughout, ﬁn- ishing about e. neck to the good. Dor- othy B. could not get through or might have made a better showing. These three horses are very evenly matched and no doubt another race will be looked forward to with inter- est. Prince Mac did not get away quite so well this heat and was there- fore not so close up at the ﬁnish. He is pacing fast, however, and with a race or two more should give a. mighty good account of himself. _

CLASS B TROT

This race had three starters and was won by the old reliable cam- paigner, Dapper Don, who is being rehabilitated and brought back to pristine youth through the efforts of Mr. Lawrence Morris. Dapper won in straight heats, having quite a nice margin to spare in the ﬁrst, and 896' ond heats, but in the third heat The Allie ﬁnishedright at his pad, Annie Rooney was 3, 3, 3. At the conclusion of the race Mr. Morris was bounced and cheered by his enthusiastic friends.

CLASS A TROT

This had three starters and look- ed to be a wonderful contest. In the ﬁrst heat Peter Verde and Grace Forbes ﬁnished so close together that the Judges could not separate them so gave it as a dead heat, with Mary Volo second.

In the second heat Grace Forbes who had performed so beautifully the ﬁrst heat struck her quarter and made" a bad break. Mary Volo was not quite equal to furnishing op- position to Peter Verde, so Peter fin- ished with a. couple of lengths to the good.

The third heat was the same story.

Power scored goal No. 3 for the Liors and again after ﬁve mlnlliﬂ filly around the Nationals nets, he scored another goal. Ray Praught was pm- alized during the period for check- inZ. (i) .

The third period started with ti" Nationals determined to even mines up and ti, looked as thollzh they would be successful. Bob Nelson 0! the Superintendent's stall’, scoring goal No. 1 which was quickly follow- ed by another after a mixup around the nets. Goalie Laﬂcrty of the Lions not even seeing the puck. Two minutes later, a third 8°31 was scored by the Nationals after some pretty combination play, but the Lions came k strong and 0n! minute before final gong scored a ﬁfth goal, making a more of 5-8. Billy Davis was given a penalty dur- ing this purlpd for tripping Clarke of the Lions.

Peter Verde riding easy, Mary Volo second, Grace Forbes third. Peter Verde was a real trotter yesterday, his quarters in 31% seconds being ap- parently easy for him. '

CLASS B PACE _

This had four starters with Louis Sett the class of the quartette. In thefirst heat Louis Sett paced away from the others and won by two lengths, Betty Mozart second, Lady Marque third and Black Bird fourth. In the second heat Louis Sett threw a shoe and Betty Mozart had it easy with Lady Marque second, Louis Sett third and Black Bird a poor fourth. In the third heat Louis Sett with all four shoes on showed the way to Betty Mozart, who under a stiﬂ drive ﬁnished at Louis Sett’s wheel, Lady Marque third and Black Bird fourth. i -

The above programme was com- menoed at a quarter after two and. ﬁnished shortly after four o'clock. There were no tiresome waits, the events being run off quickly and ef-~ ﬁciently by the splendid officials named below. Great credit is due to the track committee for their efforts in putting the course in such excel- lent condition. It is understood that they had to be up with the lark in order to get things ready.
