He found himself trapped on both sides by as dangerous a clan of golf- ing warriors as ever strode forth in any golf tournament. One stroke ahead of Jones were Tommy Armour of Detroit, the “Black Scot,” who toppled him from his throne at Oakmont in 1927, and MacDonald Smith, the stout hearted Scot from New York. To his rear, only @ stroke away, were two fighters for whom he always has held respect —Walter Hagen and Horton Smith. Tied with him stood a nia a rooklyn’s public product of Bi iy) Sonea! qaat upset. He was satisfied. Yet he would rather be from three to four strokes be- hind anyone ex- cept Armour and Mac Smith. He would feel more comfortable to have a player of the caliber of Hagen, more ser- ious than ever be- fore bah Leaded the golf that y Jones made him famous in yester-years, a little farther away. This was how the leaders stood to- day after the initial tour of the par 12 championship stretch: Armour and Mac Smith, 70; Jones and Cox 71; Hagen and Horton Smith ‘72. Three Others In ‘Par’ There were three others, Harry Cooper of Chicago, R. E. Rogers of Denver, and George M. Smith of Chi- cago in the strictly par class. But by the time the four 18 hole rounds are over, they are expected to be bringing up the rear. Cooper, runner-up to Armour in 1927, may prove the excep- tion, however, as he seems on his game as never before. The heat and not par stopped the big field in yesterday's opening round. The sun came out early and by the time Jones, Hagen, the two Smiths and other recognized “big shots” were well on their way old sol streamed forth rays that sent the mercury up | to 96 degrees in the shade and better than 100 on the baked fairways. The | golfers all looked like icemen after a Jong day’s work, their hands slipped at the grip, and their vision was handicapped by beads of perspiration. | Produce Best Scores in Intense Heat | ee, MAC SMITH Coming in late in the day at Interlachen with 70's, Tommy Armour and Mac Smith took the lead for the first day in the national open golf tournament.

KEELER Minneapolis, July 11—()—Along in the cool of the evening of Thurs- day, when the thermometer on the Interlachen Country club was away down around 96 degrees, two veteran Scots decided to take the lead for the first day of the National Open golf championship away from Bobby Jones and Wiffy Cox, who had held it at 71 all day, and when the shades of night and a few fleeting and well- gorged flocks of mosquitoes had set- tled about Mirror Lake, Tommy Ar- mour, national champion of 1927, and MacDonald Smith were tied at 170, two strokes below par, each having done the last and longest nine holes in 33. And there the matter rested for a few hours while the dried-out com- Ppetitors absorbed gallons of water in the effort to regain the fluidity which had enabled them to imitate lawn sprinklers all over the Interlachen. Humidity Was Discomforting If you haven't tried it or at least observed it, you can have no idea how freely the human system can disburse moisture at a temperature of 100 de- grees mingled with what is unpopu- larly known as humidity. Bobby Jones consumed three suc- cessive thermos bottles of ice water in playing his round and when he gained the refuge of the locker room {about 1 o'clock his necktie wag in a sodden knot and he couldn’t untie it and I tried it and failed and then took and cut it off of him so he could get ready for a shower. | ‘The aptest description of Mr. Cyril James Hastings Tolley in action on {yesterday was, to my way of thinking, as follows: “Mr. Tolley,” said a prim lady |Spectator sitting- under a large shady: jtree, “looked just like an iceman who has carried a hundred pounds of ice up five flights of stairs and found the lady of the house not in.” Mr. Tolley was dressing and re- garding a small heap of extraordi- narily damp golf clothing. “I wonder how much weight I lost, Playing that round,” he speculated. “How much do your golf clothes weigh?” I asked. “Three pounds, normally,” “he said. Had Lost Nine Pounds I put the damp bundle on the scales. It weighed six pounds and a half, but this increase did not include what Mr. Tolley had lost altogether by radiation. After some coaxing he got on the scales himself. I promised i | i ‘ning a ten inning game, 7 to 6. ATHLETICS, YANKEES AND SENATORS SEEN est Rival by Walloping Detroit 6 to 5 ST. LOUIS BEATS CHICAGO Washington Defeats Red Sox While Athletics Are Thump- ing Yankee Clan (By The Associated Press) Three eastern clubs are about all that are left in the American League Pennant race, but the four western members are putting on a struggle of their own that is close enough to stir up some interest. Cleveland is hav- ing a great rivalry with the Tigers while Chicago and St. Louis are stag- ing an equaly close struggle for sixth place. ‘The Indians went one up on their nearest rivals yesterday by winning yesterday’s opening game of an ‘abbreviated series, 6 to 5. Cleveland just lasted to gain the decision and improve their shaky hold on third Place to gain a 4% game margin. St. Louis again moved ahead of Chicago's White Sox, taking sixth Place by a half game margin and gaining a 7-6 margin in the games Played between the two clubs by win- Washington and Philadelphia con- tinued on even terms, the Senators leading by half game. Washing- ton took the final encounter from the Boston Red Sox, 7 to 2, as Ossie Bluege drove in four runs with two doubles and a home run. Earnshaw pitched the Athletics to an easy triumph over the New York Yankees, allowing only three hits for a 9 to 1 triumph. ‘The National League had but one game on its schedule yesterday and there was some doubt as to whether it was baseball that New York and Philadelphia played. The Giants won by @ score of 19 to 8, hardly an ordi- nary baseball result, and some of the fielding looked far out of place on a major league diamond. The New Yorkers had their biggest hitting spree in the third inning when they batted around twice, made nine hits and scored 10 runs.

But for a few natural putts that refused to go down, Bobby might have been in the sixties yesterday. He snared 14 pars, went over par on but one hole and more than made up for | that fault with two birdies. It was a typical Jones start, Armour and the field. Each a 37, one over par. Smith threw away his chance for a 69 on the final green by timidity. He needed a par four to lead, but was short all the way and took five. Driving and putting gave Cox his score, but he tossed } away the advantage of three birdies with two bad holes on the way home. He went out in 34, two under par, and came home in 37, one over par. nm Started Poorly | Hagen fell apart going out and took @ 38. On tho way home he collected his usual assortment of birdies for a 34 total and grabbed a total of 72. Horton Smith played two under par out and two over back, He putted consistently for birdies, but they re- | fused to drop. His drives pulled too.
