Brassie IRDIES By DICK MILLER 1

Mr— 'ACDONALD SMITH, western open champion, who will defend his title at Highland Aug. 26, 27 and 28, is shooting the best game of nis career. That is saying much, for Smith has, since his comeback from a California sanatarium experience three or four years ago, been shooting wonderful golf. Asa shot-maker, few can rank with Smith. His sensational scores have long been a part of his performance. His most recent win has been the .Canadian open, in which he finished ahead of a great field. Previous to that, he won the 1926 Metropolitan open in a sensational play-off with Gene Sarazen. Smith’s 68 was too good for the perfect 70 of Gene. Smith is one of the picturesque figures in golf. He has twice won the Western Open last year and in when he was considered a great MacDonald is one of a raj„/ous family of Smith brothers, of Carnoutsie, Scotland, who have done much in golf. Mac is the youngest. Alex Smith, his oldest brother, won the American Open championship twice. Willie Smith, another brother, won the first Western Open championship in 1899 and the same year the National Open at, Baltimore. Mac Smith is profesional at Long ■Lsland. He played much in Florida winter, and teaming with Bill Mehlhorn, won the Miami best ball championship. • • • The entrants in the Western open championship at Highland will have no easy progress, according to ground and local rules during the tournament, promulgated by the Western Association officials, and sent to the Highland committee that they might be printed the score cards for use tournament week. The rules come as a result of the . visit of A. C. Allen, vice president of the association, and Ray Fruit, assistant secretary, last week. All ditches and roads at Highland must be played as hazards, which means that clubs must not be grounded if the ball rests there, or that nothing be moved. A ball out of bounds or a lost ball are penalized distance only. Spaded ground around newly planted trees are hazards. Balls lodging against temporary water pipes may be dropped one club's length away, but not nearer the hole, with-' out penalty. Merchants of Indianapolis have notified Albert Buchanan, chairman of the sports ancj pastimes committee of Highland, that they think- so mnch of the tournament as an Indianapolis event that several days before the tournament and during the play they will maintain golf displays in their windows. • * • South Grove is a golf bee hive these days. Harry Schopp and Dave Mitchell, pro and assistant at the course, are busy from morning until night taking care of the new beginners who seek to get away on I the right foot. k In looking over and meeting some of |he beginners, we discover that Miss Helen Hilderbrand. of the city board of works department, has gone in for the great outdoor game. Miss Helen Kernaok lived many years in Denver. Colo., without being stung by the golf bug. but when she arrived in this city with its eleven fine courses, the sting was too severe and she fell wounded.Likewise we find • that Miss Eileen Woods, .1850 N. Delaware St., a nurse, obtained her training in London, and her father and uncle played the Scotch game at the famous Farnham Club. London, but it was not until Miss Woods arrived in this city that she took to the game and took her first lesson from Schopp Mrs. E J. Kopf. of the Spink-Arms. and Mrs, A. C. Ostermeyer. .also aro new pupils. Then we find that the park board position became attractive to Adolph Emhardt. in that he desired to enjoy some of the things he was making possible. Schopp got him away on the right foot. • • • John Scudder of the Messick and Foster Insurance Company, purchased a set of clubs recently and allowed Schopp to tell him how it is done in par. ** * / Mrs Chaude Stephenson, who teaches expression, changed her expression when she missed the first stroke she took at the little white pellet, so now she is a freQucnt, visitor to the practice tee. • * Dave Mitchell has signified his intention of entering the Western Open pending o k. by the park board If Dave can shoot Highland like he does South Grove, someone better watch out. * t * Herb Jennings sent Buddy Leo to South Grove for his favorite pastime. As Herb wrote: ‘ This ouaint chap has idle moments taken up with golf, and feels it is not a bad thought to while them away on your greens.”

Puzzling Plays By Billy Evans • Pitcher in act of delivering ball to batsman accidentally drops it to the ground. What is the ruling? * * * If there .ire runners on the bases at the time, the dropping of the ball by the Ditcher is construed as a balk. In such a situation the ball becomes dead and all base runners are entitled to advance one base. If there are no runners on at the time, no penalty is imposed if the pitcher drops the ball to the ground while in the act of delivering it to the batsman. It is merely treated as an accident. Both major leagues are now a unit In this interpretation.

Worth Knowing

Waite Hoyt, Yankee right-hander, had his poorest major league season last year. .Hoyt won 11 games and lost 14. He didn’t come through with a victory until his eighth or ninth start. He was in 46 tilts during which he pitched 243 innings. He allowed four earned runs per fracas. He dropped mgye games last season than in any other campaign. Hoyt's best year since coming to the main tent was in 1923 when he won 17 and lost 9. He permitted 3.01 earned runs per contest and issued 66 bases on halls in 37 games, less than two a tilt. NEW JERSEY GOLF Bu l nited Prrxx MONTCLAIR. X. .1., Aug. 13. Clarence Hackney of Atlantic city won for the third consecutive time, the New Jersey open golf championship here on the course of the Montclair Country Club, In a play off for the title he defeated Danny Williams of Shackamaxon by a single stroke. Their scores were 77 and 78. Par is 71. / 1 PEANUTS WINS Bu United Press SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y„ Aug. 13.—The Champlain handicap, rtm on a rain-soaked track here Thursday, was won by Peanuts, winner of the Empire City handicap. Display, winner of the 1926 Preakness, was second; Flagstaff, the favorite, third.

Since he has been in the boxing game he has been playing for stakes that ran into millions and the same eye has never baited. When he wing he cracks a smile that shows only in crow's feet around his eye's. When he loses he counts up what’s left and plays again. Rickard In trying to put over a heavyweight championship fight between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney In the Yankee stadium on Sept. 16. is playing the hardest game he ever has faced, "but he seems less concerned about the obstacles than any one In New Y'ork. His application for a license has been tossed back and forth for three months between the New York boxing commission and the license committee, and it is now resting in the lap of the license body. The commission, by a majority vote of Brower and Muldoon against Farley, voted Thursday that Dempsey was in good standing and recommended that the llcene- board give Dempsey a license. The license committee does not meet until Monday and there are some reasons advanced why the license commissioners will refuse the champion a license or will defer action so long that Rickard will not have sufficient* time in which to make all the arrangements. Rickard goes always on the theory that “everything will be all right," and on this optimistic theory he ordered tickets printed today for the fight. Probable Loss “What if you can't pull off the fjght?" he was asjeed. “I'll lose a little," he answered. “How much?" “About $40,000 or $50,000.:’ “I* that all?” "Maybe more. That's just the cost of the tickets and advertising.” "How about the money advanced to the fighters?" "They’ll play ball with me. They always do. They’ll loan the advance money back to me and I'll fix it up later." “How about the expenses of trips made trying to make the match and incidentals?” “Just a couple thousand. You always got to figure on losses in this business," he said. “The financial risk in promoting a heavyweight championship fight isn't so bad as the personal jams you get into. Take this case. I haven't any fight with the boxing commission or Ahe licenses committee. They're fighting among themselves. I didn't do a' thing to cause it. Other Places “They told me I. couldn’t stage the fight In New York and I started looking around for another place— Chicago, Jersey City or Philadelphia. I was In Chicago when Commissioner Brower sent for me to come back and try It again. He said the fight belonged In New York and there " was no reason why It couldn’t be held In New York. “I took him up on his word and look at the mess we’ve been through. They made almost a nervous wreck out of Dempsey when he should have been working in his training camp. I can’t be blamed for any part of it because I have been on record for years that a Dempsey-Wills fight couldn’t be made; that I didn't want it and that Dempsey and Tunney would make a more Interesting fight and cause no trouble.” Rickard said he was “going to sit around for a couple of days and see what happens.” “I’d like to get that license thing settled, though,” he added. “I have such a good organization that I could arrange the fight within two weeks and put it over. Firpo didn't get a license until the day before he fought Dempsey. Greb didn't get a license until the day he fought Flowers and we’ve never had a show that one boxer didn't have to hurry for a license.” Rickard said he-had decided upon a $25 top* price for the fight. He was given to understand that the commission might, change the rule to provide a maximum price of SSO, but he said: “I don't want any more fussing around.”

STORM IS UP GOTHAM SUBWAYS; PANICS FOLLOW Thousands Jam Trains, Held for Hours —Near Disas- , ter in Park. Bv United Pres* NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—New York today experienced another day of the humid, sweltering heat which has prevailed for nearly two weeks and was climaxed Thursday night by one of the most violent electrical storms in years. The storm came at the height of the evening rush hour and resulted in a subway tie-up that held thousands in the steaming black hole underground for hours. The confusion and discomfort was almost indescribable. Crowds scampered for the subways when the storm broke. Entrances were blocked, platforms jammed to suffocation and trains packed to the doors. Subways Flooded In an hour, 3.24 Inches of rain fell. The subways were flooded and short circuits resulted. The entire west side line became tied up and the packed trains stalled between stations. j Lights in some trains went out and the fans stopped. In the sweltering blackness men and women suffered until they could stand it no longer, and in several trains minor rioting and stampedes resulted. In one train men and women broke the windows with umbrellas ‘and fists/ forced the guards to open the doors and marched beside the dangerous third rail, intermittently short-cir-cuited, to the nearest station. In the worst jam, on a stalled train below Fourteenth St., seven persons were taken to a hospital and a score or more received minor injuries. Some were treated on the platforms by physicians and others left In taxicabs to be treated by their family- doctors. What nearly became a disaster happened in Central Park when women and children took refuge from the storm in a viaduct. The place rapidly became flooded and when police arrived women up to their waists in water were holding their children above the surface and shrieking for help. Police drove automobiles in and became stalled. The situation was saved when a horsedrawn truck was commandeered and took the stranded women and Children out. Despite the violence of the storm and the fact that lightning struck in several places in'the city, police reported after a check-up today that no lives had been lost in the Metropolitan area. One death was reported In New Jersey and one in Connecticut. Tunnels Flooded The tunnels of the Long Island and Pennsylvania Railroads, under the Eastes River were flooded with four feet of water. More than 50,000 commuters coming to work this

morning'were forced to transfer to subway traino to reach Manhattan. Eleven pumps worked to clear the tunnels. Each has a capacity jot 38,000 gallons a minute. Os the four tunnels under the river, two were cleared soon after midnight, but the l-emaiping two were still impassable today. For three hours last right the trains were unable to operate west from the terminal. Eastbound trains were routed
