George Von EF Los Angeles failed in defending his laurels in the second match round! falling before yesterday, par on. Siaught arty Legg of the home club at dD ikahda, one down on the 18th hol He had been slow in qualifying, taking 154 strokes as compared with 142 by Bobby Jones, the medalist, but he had shot par in the first round to win and he was only one above perfect figures in his losing battle. He had not, however, hit the brilliant stride that carried him to victory last year against Jones. Jones Comes Back Jones for a time seemed destined to pass out of the affray, for in the 4 first match round he suffered a severe slump, taking a 78 and being down most of the way to Maurice Me- Carthy of New York, The youngster took fright at tne prospects of breaking so great an idol and weak- ened on the last four holes to lose twa down. Bobby came back strong in the aft- ernoon and, scoring one under par for the 26 holes played, ousted the New York lad who had led the field in medal on the first” Ly ay, Eugene Homans. ‘This __ victory’ brought him face to face today with Jimmy Johnston of the home club, who outplayed Jones in the recent national open and knows his Minikah- da, although he did not score weil yesterday in defeating Jones of New York and Don Carrick, the Canadian champion.
