TIRRINi the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

I iMONG golf professionals, I this Is a MacDonald Smith year. Although he failed In the national open at Scioto, the Scot showed flashe sos great form, and since that time, has been playing the most consistently good golf of his career. He will defend his western open title at Highland course here starting Thursday, and it is likely to take some shooting to dislodge him. East Sunday Mac took only thirty-five strokes on the nine holes out at Highland. Then just, .to show he was human, needed forty-two to get back In. Twice Mac Smith has nipped important championships out from beneath little Gene Sarazen’s sunburnt nose, the first time at Salisbury and again at Montreal, where he won the Canadian open. It took Smith 126 holes to beat Sarazen for the Metropolitan title, but the slender Scotsman shot a 66, seven strokes under par, on the final round. Gene, incidentally, had a <0 for his last 18 holes. Tied at the end of the tournament, this pair played three additional rounds before Smith won. At Montreal, Mac played his last two rounds in seven styokes under par, coming from behind to overtake Sarazen and Johnny Farrell. Mac Smith's good year is a triumph of the short game. The canny Scot cares not who outdrives him from the tee. At chip shots, run-ups, pitches and half mashies he has no superior. And his putting is deadly. * * * rrraiLßUß shaw of this city YU is getting quite a reputd- '' tion as a dirt track auto race star. He is going over big in Chicago. Shaw will drive a new Frontenac creation built by Art Chevrolet in the 150-mile race at the new board track at Akron, Ohio, Labor day. Fred Harder of Indianapolis, a rival of Shaw’s, will drive a car for Clemons Company. These two pilots are pretty certain to give the Akron speed bugs plenty of thrills * • * SCCORDING to Henry Farrell of the United Press, Dempsey seems in almost perfect, condition. He shows speed in his workouts and a good punch. But trainers will tell you that outward apeparances sometimes are deceiving. Jim Jeffries was fat inside when he met Johnson, and could not stand the body punches. Tufiney probably will work on Jack’s body. That seems the logical plan of attack. Before Dempsey went to his training camp, some friends in New York gave him the laugh when he said he was not taking Tunney lightly. “Explain, if you can,” one of them said, “how you can lose unless you’re in such bad shape that you collapse from your own exertion. Tunney can’t hurt you—” “Listen.,” Dempsey interrupted, “any man can be hurt if lie’s hit in the right spot, and I’ve got just as many right spots as any other champion.

TRAP SHOOT Three Events on Program at National Meet. Bu United Press VANDALIA, 0., Aug. 24.—Three championships were to be determined today here at the twenty-sev-enth annual tourney of the Amateur Trapshooting Association.

Indians Within Four and a Half Games of Leaders— Speece Blanks Saints. Bu United Press ST. PAUL, Aug. 24.—Ownie Bush's Indians built up more percentage Monday by making It three in a row o\ r er the Saints, and today the Bushmen were with four and one-half games of the league-leading Brewers and within two and one-half games of the/ second-place Colonels. The Tribesmen have been knocking ’em dead in the Twin Cities. They took four of five at Minneapolis and the first three here. Milwaukee stumbled before Toledo Monday and Louisville lost to the Millers, hence the healthy gain made by the Hoosiers. The old pennant battle In the A. A. is tightening again. Byron Speece was the big noise here Monday as the Indians downed Nick Allen's outfit, 8 to 0. The thrower of the submarine ball had the Saints baffled in the pinches and struck out six men. Whenever the home boys threatened, Byron settled and passed something over the plate that had local swatters dazzled. Pipgras was the losing pitcher. He worked eight innings, and Farquhar finished. Everybody In the Tribe line-up broke into the hit column one or more times. The Indians did not raiscuo once In the field.' Burwell was the Monday morning choice to pitch the third of the series, but Manager Bush changed to Speece when Byron reported his salary whip feeling good in practice. Burwell was slated to hurl the fourth of the series today. The Indians executed two double plays to help Speece out of threatened trouble. Both were Sicking to Schreiber to Holke. Sicking and Sclireibor played flue ball around the keystone. Cullop got two doubles for the Saints. McMillan got three of the Saints’ safeties, one for two bases. Fisher poled a double for the Hoosiers.

The Indians are carded in St. , through Thursday. Friday is an off-day. The Tribesmen open a scries in Louisville Saturday. The Bushmen expect to see a big crowd of Indianapolis fans In Louisville Sunday. The Tribe won’t return to the home lot until Sept. 4. They play in Toledo following 4he Louisville series. * Nick Allen, St. Paul manager, was banished early In the Monday fracas. He is establishing a record for being kicked out this season. The Indians have won seven of their last eight games. RACE WINNER Lockhart Cleans Up at Charlotte Speedway. Bu United Press CHARLOTTE. N. C., Aug. 24 The 150-mile feature automobile race on the New Charlotte speedway for a purse of $5,000 was won by Frank Lockhart at an average speed of 120.54 miles per hour. Frank Elliott was second. Lockhart also won the fifty-mile event and took down $7,600 prize money for the two victories. Cooper and Lewis were winners of the two twenty-five mile dashes.

MOLLA IS TENNIS CHAMPION Great Fight Put Up by Mrs. Mallory to Defeat Miss Ryan. • By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Aug. 24. — Once again Molla Bjurstedt Mallory is the “American Girl” and not the "Norse woman." When the court-worn veteran left the courts Monday after heating Elizabeth Ryan and becoming the national champion for the seventh time, she jumped up and down like a child with anew doll and gave the crowd the widest smile she ever has shown. She had reason to be proud of a 4-6, 6-4 and 9-7 victory but—behind her smile arlcl her display of happiness is a story of the hardest fight an athlete ever has made to come back. Mrs. Mallory basked in the light of a national idol until after seven hard and successful campaigns she began to slip. Then her court conquests were buried from public notice. She was hurt In 1920 when the American Olympic committee wouldn’t fight for a suspension of international rules that would permit (Turn toPage 11)
