PAGE EIGHT THE T)ES MOINES REGISTER SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1D33, BELMONT RACE WRITER RAPS BOMBER I The Alger Boy of the Fairways TKMUtnyj TO GO GET REPUTATION-SO SMITH BIB IT Louis Mauled by Joplin and Springfield Battled Sparmates Hand-Claps Needed to Stir Mind; Can't Block Punches. After brief service at other mall city clubs, the Springfield boy who couldn't make good at home was performing sensational feats at home and abroad. The home folks held celebrations as stories of bis conquests and scores in the sixties came back to them. 1 Best of all, Horton has made a load of money and saved it At 30, be Is perhaps the wealthiest of all golf professionals. The two straighten paths Horton knows are from tee to cup and from cup to the bank.

Night life for him consisted of a good dinner and 10 hours sleep. So, you can't blame Horton for liking to go back home and letting the home towners havs a look at him. the first stop where he got a Job and his nickname the "Joplin Ghost," a tag that always has riled the good folks of Springfield. When Horton was wowing 'era over the winter trail of 1929, that "Joplin ghost" stuff never got into Springfield papers. He was just Horton Smith of Springfield.

The Inter-city feuding between Joplin and Springfield over the home-township of Horton became so heated that Smith, himself, stepped in and offered a Horton Smith cup for the rival city golf teams to shoot for annually. This competition is supposed to let the matter be settled on the golf course. From Joplin, it was a hop-skip-and-jump into big time. By Paul Mlckelson. NEW YORK.

N. Y. (.. Out on the Ozark uplands of southwest Missouri, they gather at the nineteenth hole and tell the story of Horton Smith, the boy who had to go away to prove to once unappreciative home-folks that there's gold in them thar pars. The story, ss true as a seven on the dice, was recounted in a Park ave.

hot spot by a 'homesick Missourian as the blond blaster took his bride-to-be, a Singer sewing machine heiress he met on the golf trails, back to show the bomefolk in Springfield, Mo. The most eligible bachelor of the par-for-pay circuit disclosed shyly that be and Barbara Bourne, Washington, and Augusta, on the Sabbath but he led the way himself with a sharp tee-shot down the middle and a fair pitch to the green. Springfield was in that much of a frenzy over the auld Scotch business. Horton Smith then was a bright-eyed, willowy caddy a swing that was smoother than a mint julep. So when a real estate promoter operated a new course called Hickory Hills and went looking for a professional, Horton applied for the Job.

"Too young," was the verdict of the promoter, John T. Woodruff. "Go elsew here, get some experience and prove yourself. Then ask me again." So, the young Smithy said goodbye to his folks and set out with a bag of golf tools over his shoulder. Nearby Joplin was By Jack Cuddy.

POMPTON LAKES, N. J. Joe Louis, our world heavyweight champion, looks bad in his early training. I am making no final predictions at this early date. But if the Brown Bomber fails to improve before June 22, he will be belted into the boll weevils again by Herr Max Schmeling.

Louis is the betting favorite now in New York for his title defense against Schmeling at Yankee stadium. The Senators Win Behind Ferrell HE'S SAFE Max Schmeling. would marry, probably in the fall. Right now the young veteran is in the midst of the Kansas City $5,000 open, a tuneup for the national at Cherry Hills in Denver. That Missouri layout, the long, rugged Hillcrest Country club riding the highest hill and trickiest hogbacks in Jackson county, should be a pipe for Horton.

He's played it enough and its hills are like the Ozark slopes where he started the very place where the Al-ger-of-the-f airways yarn began. Springfield was in the midst of a great golf boom and one of the town's most famous preachers was setting the pace. The good reverend not only advised his flock to go direct from the church to the golf courses Frank (roset-tl. New York Yankee short-stop, is shown sliding safely into thirdbase In the fourth inning of Friday's Yankees Tigers game. Tony Plet, Tiger thlrdbase- man, wasn't able to do much about it.

KANSAS CITY, MO. iff) A rain and electrical storm halted play in the $5,000 Kansas City open here Friday, holding back a field of 120 players in the 72-hole test. Thirty-six players had com pleted their 18-hole rounds when play ceased, and a 74, one over par, registered by Warren Ricpen, St.

Joseph. amateur, was the lowest, Horton Smith and Leon ard Dodson both were flirting with perfect figures In their eight and one-half hole stretch. Fred Corcoran, P.G.A. tournament manager, said the same starting times would be l.i effect today's 18 The 3G ih()1's Sunday win end what is '(probably the first $5,000 64-hole tournament in history. The near jness of the national open, to be held at Denver next week, made it 4w I odds are about 7-5.

Those odds seem silly, after you watch the Negro champion displaying his wares beneath the maple trees In this sylvan retreat. Louis, an champion, appears to be the same inefficient performer as on the night of June 19, 1930, when the grim-visaged, beetle-browed bulldog of the Rhine knocked him out in the twelfth round. The left side of his head still Is wide open range for a straight right. And be requires hand-rlup signals from Trainer Jack Blackburn to stimulate his mental processes in the ring. I have been reading in the public prints about the eagerness and determination with which Jolting Joe goes about his conditioning tasks.

But if you watch him box, or punch the bag, or skip the rope, or do his mat exercises, you will be impressed with the fact that he till la as lethargic as a plantation hand. 1 noted none of the grim alertness In his preparations that some of my comrades of the mill have emphasized. If the champion Is effervescing with a desire for vengeance against Herr Schmeling, he concealed it very well In the workout I watched. Champion or no champion, I would not like to be Joe Louis during the next couple of weeks. I would not like to have a bevy of sparring partners make hamburger of my face, as the $25-a-day men re doing to Louis, day after day.

I would demand an armour-plated mask. "Hit him with your right! Throw your right!" Those are the Instructions given every sparniate that climbs through the ropes against the champion in Dr. Bier's outdoor ring. And they throw those rights straight at the champion's face. They're getting paid to do that very thing, and they seemed to be doing a very good job of it In the workout 1 watched.

The champion of the world is supposed to be blocking or slipping Or countering those straight rights in preparation for doing the same thing when Herr Schmeling picks hia, right fist off his chest and Whams it head ward. I'nfortunately the Brimn Bomber Is falling to block or slip or counter when those right hands are released. At least 80 per rent of them are plumping Into his brown face which becomes rosy and welted before the six rounds are completed. Dauber Favorite in Rich Event. NEW YORK, N.

Y. The Belmont stakes, oldest of the American turfs spring classics for 3-year-olds, will be run or the seventieth time at Belmont park today with William DuPont, Dauber standing out above five mediocre rivals. Dauber's easy triumph in the muddy Preakness and his fast closing seconds back of Lawrin in the Kentucky derby and Stagehand in the Santa Anita derby indicates the chestnut son of Pennant should have little trouble winning today's rich mile and a half race. I Neither Lawrin or Stagehand 'are eligible for the slake, which will gross close to $46,500 if all the overnight entries parade post-ward at about 3:30 p. Eastern standard time.

A victory would give Dauber two of the three stakes comprising the "triple crown." The distance is made to order for DuPont'i stretch runner. Belmont's home stretch is a quarter-mile long and that's where Dauber does most of his running. Dauber figures to be a 3 to 5 shot over a fast track. If it should come mud then the odds on the DuPont horse will drop still lower. ANDROFF WINS OVER LENHART Decision Changed As Crowd Is Leaving.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. IA') Frank Androff, Minneapois heavyweight, blasted out a 10-round de cision over Fred Leah a it, the White Bear Lake, veteran Friday night. It was a close fight and the ref eree first announced Lenhart the winner and then as the crowd be gan filing out of the auditorium, the announcer shouted that Androff was the real victor. Both the first and second announcements were greeted with prolonged Jeers. Androff weighed, 192, a 13-round advantage over his opponent.

1 INDIANS 10; ATHLETICS 5 PHILADELPHIA, PENN. CP-For the second straight day the Cleveland Indians went on a batting spree in the late Innings to score an uphill, 10 to 5, victory over the Philadelphia Athletics Friday. Coming to bat in the eighth in ning trailing, 5-3, the Indians slammed out six consecutive hits to win the game with a six-run rally. Bud Thomas was chased to the showers after Hale and Heath singled. Earl Avertll and Hal Trosky then tripled off Nelson Potter to make him the losing pitcher.

Al Williams came in and gave up five hits in two innings, includ- ing a homer by Ken Keltner In the ninth. Chiefly by virtue of home runs by Rookie Sam Chapman and Frankio Hayes the A's were ahead when Thomas wilted in the eighth.

"We are aiming for the pennant and although we, have our head in the stars, we believe we'll make it.

C'KEW RACK OKUFI'KD. MARIETTA, OHIO Ul The mid-America crew race, most am bitious ever attempted on Inland waters planned by Marietta college for July 2 on the Ohio river, was canceled Friday night. single hand-clap rings out again and again during each round. And when the champion is supposed to direct his attack at an opponent's mid-section, Blackburn claps his hands twice. This body punching is rumored to be a very important part of the champ's training.

I understand he is preparing to rip into Maxie's stomach and find out if Schmeling has cirrhosis of the liver or gall stones. The only trouble with Blackburn's "secret" hand-clap signals is that the sparring partners seem to know them as well as the champ. And 1 don't think Joe will be able to hear them at Yankee stadium because of the' roar of the, crowd. But they provide a refreshing sidelight beneath the maples. In the workout I witnessed Joe had three Negro clout mates.

They were Jim Howell of New York, George Nicholson of Yonkers, N. and Basher Dean of Newark. All three are able-bodied men and good to their folks, but not one of them offers any menace to the title. Yet there seems to be a certain magnetism between their fists and Joe's chin. Of course, this is too early to pass judgment on a champion.

Of course Jolting Joe hasn't sharpened to his fighting edge. You don't have to watch htm long to be sure of that. But there is little time ft for him to learn to biocK or evade a straight right. Two years have elapsed since Maxie plunked him with 57 straight rights to the head. Some men never discover a defense against this blojv, I wonder if Louis is one of them.
