Smith Win out Here Lighthorse Harry Scores 68 as 1000 Witness - Pro Stars' Play The steady though seldom spec tacular play of '.'Lighthorse" Har-. ry. Cooper enabled the "short-hitting" -team composed of himself and Horton Smith to nose out. the long-driving pair of W. Lawson Little and Jimmy Thomson in an exhibition match witnessed by a gallery estimated at 1000 persons on the Salem Golf club course Sat urday. Cooper and Smith won, 1 up, when Little failed at his chance for an eagle on the 18th. The visiting top-notch pros ex hibited their skill and it was all that the crowd had anticipated, but they did not ""tear up -the. course" as thoroughly as some lo cal golfers had predicted, due to their unfamlliarity with the fair ways and mammy to gei me "feel" of the greens on their one trip around. Smith three-Putted four greens. Cooper got around in 68, four under par, with a 34 on each nine. He was over par only once, on the 15th where three of the quartet "slipped." Cooper had birdies on the first, seventh, 14th, 16th and 18th holes. Two Score Eagles Thomson was In position to tie Cooper's score until he drove two balls out of bounds on the 18th, but still wound up second in med al play with a 70, due partly to his eagle 3 on the 15th, which was matched by Smith. The latter col lected four birdies In addition to his eagle, but slipped five times, to tie with Little at 71. Playing a best ball match, nei ther pair was ever more than 1 up. Smith's birdie on the second hole put his team ahead but it was reversed when Little canned bird ies on the third and fourth. Lit tle's shot across the creek on the fourth hit the f 1 a K s 1 1 c k and dropped nearby for a one-putt. On the seventh Smith and Cooper scrambled in for birdies to tie the match again and they won the first nine on Cooper's birdie, on the ninth. On the first three holes of the second nine everybody scorid ev en par: Smith and Little slipped on the 13th with three-putts but their partners kept to pars. Drives 353 Yards The easy par five 14th called forth some fireworks. T here Thomson hit his longest drive of the day, roughly measured at 353 yards, and was on with a No. 7 iron for a one-putt eagle. Smith and Cooper were also on .In two and Smith dropped a 10-footer for his eagle. Little's drive was push ed into the deep rough, but he made a magnificent-recovery Just short of the green and. took a par. - Thomson's - par squared the match on the 15th where the oth ers all slipped one way or anoth er, but Cooper put his team'l up again-with a 30-foot putt on the 16th for a birdie; The best golf of the match was exhibited on the 18th where Smith, Little- and Cooper were on with their second shots and Little was on the aPron from farther away after his two out-of-bounds shots. The most spectacular recovery was Thomson's on the ninth where he was forced to shoot with only two feet leeway from a tree; 'and be ' followed that with the only ,'dub" shot of the day 'When -his third barely triekled ..on..

Most of the contenders will be more determined than , ever to cop the crown, or at least gain the distinc tion of eliminating the champion. This added determination derives from the fact that a majority of the players had to come a long way for this tourney, and, unlike tennis "amateurs," the golf simon-pures elling expenses. I It's all set, says Dwlght Adams, who, ongbt to know for the biggest softball tourna ment Salem has ever s-en. It'a the first time there have . been teams from every corner of .the state and the first time that there has been a elate of eight women's teams compet - Ing In m .separate state, tourna . ment.

The encouragement which' the state association gave to leagues all over' the 'state and the aid it gave them' in organizing will show ' this year in. the tourna ment, i Not.only ate there teams from, farther ' away' . but: the teams are better teams. While a few L games are ' bound to .be a little lop-sided you' can' bank oh the fact that there will be more closely contested games in the first round than there have been in previous years.

Peterson, who has an impres sive record against local fighters, Is eager to reach out into a bet ter class of battlers, McCarthy said, and will be running up against something in Dunston. Dunston, who once went to a draw with Freddie Steele before Steele became the world's middle weight champion, has beaten such fighters as Paul Smith, Don Fra- ser, Billy Toomey, Leo Dardine and Jimmy Pavolic. He also went to a draw with Chief Bobby Al len. Principals Training Cooper and O'Grady, the two principals of the first fight card slated in Salem In several months, have both started training for their championship battle over the ten-round route, McCarthy reported. O'Grady, who has late ly been swinging a pick on a road construction crew, is in the best shape he has been in for many months and believes the pick- swinging has helped him develop punch which will trouble the long-armed Cooper. McCarthy said he will support the main event with two six round bouts and three events of four rounds. 2 ;OWN-EASYvTERMS i Itf makes- na differeace. hew mech. ya; .'rearn-HHir s liberal plan wi!K fit your pocketlwok.
