Tt is doubtful indeed whether a British winner would have received heartler commendation than was showered today upon the young Amer- ican by golf experts. ““No more modest or more generous golfer ever won a British champion- ship”; “A worthy champion in every respect; extremely modest, he shuns the limelight as he would the plague “No champion could be more popular. These are among the comments on Bobble’s personality in this morning’s newspapers. | When it comes to appraising the zolfing skill of the Atlantan, the eulogisms of the experts are equally superlative. Among some of these comments are, he most amazing golfer of all time.” ““The best golfer in the world today,” “He justified all the claims that had been made for him as the greatest golfer.” “The championship ceased to be an ernational contest, but was rather American championship, played on finglish soil,” says one writer. Atlantans Plan Reception. ATLANTA, Ga., June 26 (®).—At- lanta today laid joyfui plans for the | reception in the homeland of Bobby | Jones, her youthful golfing conquerer, Who vesterday wrested the open golf | champlonship of the British Isles. While it is already ¥ a delegation of Atlantans to York by special train to greet the golfer when he steps from his steamer, additional plans for his reception here ! \ere in the making today. The tenta-| dve plans for a city celebration of Jones' homecoming include a welcom- ing parada through the streets which would be headed by Bobby himself. The wild joy which reigned in news- paper offices here after the news of Jones' victory arrived soon spread over the clty, and the offices were deluged with telephone calls. “Wonderful,” Mother Says. Mrs. Robert P. Jones, Bobby mother, thought his triumph was so “wonderful.” It is planned for her to go with the welcoming party to New York, along with Bobby's father and Judge Will Gunn, the father of Watts Gunn, another member of the Walker Cup team from Atlanta, who also played in the British open. 1t was little Clara Malone Jones, 14- month-old daughter’ of Bobby, who seemed to receive the tidings of vic- tory with most joy, the Joneses said. Just what comment she made was not intelligible to her mother or grand- mother, but she laughed. “Clara is laughing so loud that we can hardly hear,” said Bobby’s mother, “and Mary and I are so tickled and proud that we can hardly say any- thing.” Mary is Mrs. Robert T.

His technique was finished through long:years of childhood str ing, and at 13 he qualified in his first general tournament. That was at Montgomery, Ala., in 1915, but Bobby did not reach the third round. A lit- tle more than a year later he became Georgia State golf champion, and the next year won, for the first time, the Southern golf title at Birmingham. For three years Robby held the Southern crown and then withdrew from fur- ther competition in that event. Born here on March 17, 1902, Bobby was a delicate child and his parents moved to Fast Lake, Atlanta suburb, where th believed the country air and sunshine would aid the hoy in his fight for strength.

NEW YORK, June 26 (#).—Bobby Atlanta amateur who cap- tured the British open golf cham- pionship, must win one other major at | tournament to make a perfect score. That is the British amateur, wa year. Jones came into prominence in na- tional play in 1919 when he was beaten by Davy Herron, 5 and 4, in the final of the American amateur at the Oakmont course near Pitt: burgh. In 1924 he won the ama- teur at Merifon and in 1925 repeated at Oakmont, his victims in the final being George von Elm of Los An- geles and Watts Gunn of Atlanta, respectively. In 1922 Bobby was tied with John Slack as runnerup to Gehe Sarazen in the American open at Skokie and a year later won the title by beat- ing Bobby Cruickshank in a play- off at Inwood. He was second to Cyrll Walker at Oakland Hills in 1924 and last year lost by one stroke in a 36-hole play-off with Willie MacFarlane at Worcester, Mass. which captured by Jess Sweetser this JONES MAKES AS GOLFER BY O.

They removed the lid of the clubhouse just as Phil Kelse warned the writer’they would do if Bobby won. “Jones is the world's most lovabl2 sportsman,” Kelse said. “This is the most popular golfing victory ¥ have ever seen in Great Britain.” And there was John Morris of Hoy Lske, the oldest professional in golf ay, shaking Bobby's hand as the word came that the Hagen had to do_two threes to tie him. sAnd there were all the members of Britain's triumvirate of the last generation—Harry Vardon, James Brald and J. H. Taylor—with 16 British champlonships among them. Then there were Ted Ray, George Dioscap, the brilliant Scot, and Harold Hilton, the distinguished veteran of all the amateurs, not to mention Darwin, the grandson of the famous naturalist and one of the finest golf writers in the world—all crowding about the quiet boy to do him honor. Hilton waxed senti- mental. “How I love that boy,” he said. “He's the finest golfer in the world, but he's a finer boy than he is a golfer.

But the common fault is to forget the proper stroke of the legs when the arm stroke is tried. The only remedy {8 to practice and practice on the formula given until vou can do it without so much as thinking about it. The legs must move very fast while the arm movement is very slow. Try three arm strokes—three with each arm—and stick to that exercise for a while. Don't try to do more. Six arm strokes all told, with about three times. that many for the legs three strokes for the right arm, three for the left, nine strokes for the right leg and nine for the left. Keep working on this formula:\ 1. Do the dead man’s float. 2. Do the dead man’s float plus the leg movements. 3. Do the dead man’s float plus And do it over and over again until you begin to feel that you have some- hat mastered it.

YALE VARSITY CREW WINS OVER HARVARD By the Assoclated Press. NEW LONDON, Conn., June 26.— Yale has closed her fourth straight season of unbroken varsity rowing trilumphs under the coaching of Ed Leader, formerly of Washington, with a sixth successive victory over her anclent rival, Harvard. Yale varsity oars, which have not tasted defeat since May, 1922, when they trailed Cornell, vanquished Har- vard last evening in a four-mile race on Thames River after Harvard had won the freshman and junior varsity two-mile contests. The Yale var- sity finished two lengths ahead. Harvard went into the big race with hopes higher than in years and at even money in the wagers in spite of shifts and coaching shake-ups. But the powerful Yale eight's time’ was 20 minutes 14 2-5 seconds, a new record for the upstream route. This mark has been beaten only three times before {n the 64 years in which the annual regattas between these foes have been held, and the lower marks were for the downstream course, Yale led virtually all the way and pulled away in the last quarter mile, after Harvard had cut into Yale's margin with a thrilling spurt, begun at_the three-mile mark. Under Leader's coaching Yale has won 15 races against most of the leading American college crews, as well as the pick of foreign oarsmen, who were conquered as the Elis raced to Olympic triumph at Paris in 1924, In the series with Harvard Yale now shows 32 victories, while Harvard has registered 27. This rowing triumph balanced some of the college year's score with Harvard. Yale won at track and was held to a scoreless tie at foot ball. Harvard won at hockey and base ball, Harvard had some measure of con- solation, as it won both the fresh- man and junior varsity races yes- terday. The official time for the three races follows: Varsity (4 miles)—Yale, 20:14 2-5; Harvard, 20:21-2-6. Junfor varsity (2 miles)—Harvard, 10:36 3-5; Yale, 10:43 8-5.
