Who Won
P:MacDonald Smith, who takes fewer divots and wins fewer tournaments than any other equally able golfer in the U. S.: the Western Open Golf Championship; with 282, to Tommy Armour's 288; at Olympia Fields, Chicago. On the second day of the tournament, detectives discovered that Chicago's Public Enemy No. 4, "Machine Gun Jack" McGurn, was playing in it under his real name of Vincent Gebardi. They arrested him for vagrancy at the eighth tee, where his score was one under par, accompanied him for the remaining holes. Disturbed, Golfer McGurn took an 11 at the 8th, had a card of 86, withdrew.
P:Walter Beaver, electrician of Berwyn, Pa.: the Grand American Handicap, No. 1 trapshooting event of the year; with 25 breaks in a row in the shoot-off, to 23 for 17-year-old Ned Lilly of Stanton, Mich., U. S. Junior Champion, after both had broken 98 out of 100; at Vandalia, Ohio. P:All-star footballers representing the Midwest: a game against the Pacific Coast, coached by Howard Jones of the University of Southern California, with seven of his last year's team in the lineup; 13 to 7, largely because of a brilliant performance by Michigan's Harry Newman, who returned punts for a total of 84 yd., threw a short pass to Ronzani of Marquette for the winning touchdown; under floodlights, in Soldier Field, Chicago. P:Cecil Smith, famed cowboy poloist: the case brought against him by Nurse Eugenia Rose of the Evanston, Ill. Hospital, who accused him of raping her in a ravine; when she withdrew her charges; in Evanston. Nurse Rose's reason: "I expect to be married and do not want any more publicity." Poloist Smith's statement: "Hereafter I shall not be so generous in my offers to drive young ladies to their homes."
P:Red-haired Ruth Tower-Corsan of Toronto: $3,000, first prize for the 10-mile Dominion Championship swim; in 5 1/2 hr., with Evelyn Armstrong of Detroit second; in Lake Ontario.
