W most consistent golfer in this counmtry and at present in the District of Columbia? Consistency in golf does not frequently come to the brilliant per- former. Rather it comes to the man who plugs along hole after hole, playing them in par, with here and there an occasional long putt or exceptionally good chip or mashie shot which breaks par. It does not mean one par-shattering round, or two of that kind. It means con- sistently good scores—day after day—without any high scores and pos- <ibly without any phenomenally low scores. “The most consistent player in the history of American golf is Jerome ).

One Steoke Back at Skokie. ANOTHER PHASE OF JONES’ IRON WORK BY O. B. KEELER. NCE again, in 1921, Bobby Jones demonstrated his talent for medal competition on the occasion of his only entry in the western open championship. He was leading the field the first day with a score of 139, skidded back to fourth place the second day in a high wind, and ended in a tie for fourth place with Joe Kirkwood, back of Hagen, Hutch- ison and French. I did not attend this event, and asked Bobby to send me a little story each evening. Bobby did this, sending a very well written and adequate account of the play, except that from his account you never cduld have guessed he was in the tournament. As he was leading the field the first day, this little omission naturally had to be ‘filled out from press association reports. In a taxicab with Walter Hagen, |1eaving the Columbia course where the National open for 1921 had just been completed, Walter having fin- ished tied with Freddie McLeod for second place, Walter sald to me: “Bobby Jones will win the open before he wins. the amateur. Of all the amateurs, he is most likely to travel four rounds without a dis trous break. His form is the sound- est™, .

Stated briefly, on a well trapped | ehampionship course 6570 yards in {length, he played through the entire tournament, including a qualifying round of 75, in ten strokes better than 4s. or ten_strokes under par of the course, which was 72, Need- les to say. he was not hard pushed tin any of his matches. HAT is consistency in golf; what is its basis and who is the BY SAMUEL HARDY. HE remarkable expansion of tennis during the last ten years hs made it necessary to develop a central controlling organization which is comparable to that of any successful business of national scope. The United States Tennis Association is the central govern body that controls;, from its headquarters in New York, the activiti of the game throughout the country. . Every club of importance and many of the minor clubs are affiliate with®thé national body. A few years ago, it was possible for any clu to join the national association direct, but it was realized that a more perfect organization would result if the clubs were obliged to entes the association through membership in their various local sectiona organizations, and now every club must join the national association in this way. This policy has been of great benefit in strengthening the authority of the eight sectional associations,and has resulted in increased cfficiency, because the officers of all sectional associations are constantls in close touch with the central bod. Fow people outside the central or- ganization realize to what an extent the official tennis body has become a real business. Up to ten years ago ducted at the private offices of the the work of the association was con- ducted at the private offices of the officials of the association, but the | enormous increase in the volums of correspondence became too much of a burden for these volunteers, and it I hecame necessary to establish cen- tral headquarters, with pald assist- ants, where the work could be ade- quately handled.

The hour seemed to have struck for Bobby Jones next morning. when he reduced his score symmetrically to & beautiful 70—he now had trav- eled 74, 72, 70; hls total was 216, tied for the lead with Mehlhorn, with Grandfather Black 1 stroke behind, Hagen 3 and Sarazen 4 For the first time in an open championship 1 saw Bobby smiling between rounds.

For a time it looked as if the long lane might turn there. Bobby found the Skokie course easy in practice, all except the seven- teenth hole, a tough two-shotter of 435 yards, where you had to take a chance on a bad lle or even out of bounds to drive straight for it and open up the well trapped and banked green. The Skokle course wes baked un- der more than a month of unmiti- gated sunlight, and was fast as cement, almost, while the greens carefully watered, were good. The scoring in practice rounds .Jooked funny; it began to appear that four rounds of about 70 would be needed to_win the championship. In fact, Jock Hutchison, up to his old tricks in the qualifying round Monday, burned up the already in- cinerated course for a 67 and a 68 and set the world record for 36 holes of qualifying play in a national championship at 135. But on Wed- nesday, the last quallfying day, came rain. No qualifylng was done that day: when play was re- sumed, ths course was different. At that, Bobby Jones seemed. to have drawn the playing partner who would emulate Jim Barnes at Co- lumbta and spread-eagle the fleld. Fresh from his conquest at the Brit- ish open, Walter Hagen broke loose for a 6§, while Bobby was stepping along th a conservative T4. But in the afternoon it was Bobby did the break- ing loose, and a round that had Walter caught at the tenth hole yielded him a 72—vyet hers was old GEORGETOWN IS POINTING 64 JUNIOR NETMEN course seemed getting not a 682" Let the gods of golf answer that There was a 68 in the last round, sure enough.
