Jone 'OPEN WINNER IS FIGHTER AS'WELL AS GOLF STYLIST TORING NEXT MONTH| ' |§ MINUS ALIBIS THIS TIME : 'After Poor Second Round, “Fun” Went Out of |5 Scioto Tourney for Bobby—Fighting Heart Re- vealed for First Time in Great Struggle. By the ‘Associated Press. N the world’s greatest golfer, EW YORK, July 12~=In the chorus of praise for Bobby Jones as| Wi there. appeared a new note today. Long recognized as the master stylist with wood and irom, the | tat winner’ oi the two blue ribbons of the links this year was hailed as a man of steel, a fighter against heavy~odds. Only a few days ago there arrived from Europe a onnzuer Wi by the rigors of a long siege of golf in which he acqul’red the. Brlm open title. He admitted that he was tired and asserted tha . g0 {onh to the American open championship at Columbus to fun” To Columbus he went and for a time there was a lot. of fun at the | Scioto Country Club. A 70 the first round—ah, that was great sport and that rclever little Bill ‘Mehlhorn, who used to sit in trees and coach the pla; including Bobby, was having a good Then came another day and an- other round to play, with Jones go- ing about the course laughingly, puf- fing a cigarette here and there, smacking the little ball hither afd von, once in a while invading the tall and thick grass. It was all in fun until— Bobby Jones, American amateur and British open champion, reported that second day with a 79, the worst round he had known in champion- ship play. For a stime the Jones smile vanished—let's see, his father ‘was present and was he the jonah? A Fighting Jones. “Suddenly the fun went out of the thing. There was no fun in a 79-in championship medal = play. Bobby appeared on the links Satur- day. No longer was he ‘“golfed out,” tired of the game that had given him fame. He determined not to be “yel- low” again. He says himself he was “vellow” in some previous competi= tlons because he failed to do what ‘was within his power. Starting the final nine there was another player four strokes ahead a lead that seemed insurmountable, for , a 35 going home was necessary for Bobby to win.” Bobby knew what he had to do and for the first time made known. to the goling world that he had the “fighting heart” the dogged will of the seemingly beaten man to give battle. There came the last hole, a par 6. Par would tie, a birdie would win. A new |y rs down in the southlands durmg the Winter, had a 68. Everybody, time, A terrific belt of 300 yards came from the Jones' driver. The next shot would decide. Bobby selected a mashle iron for the 180- yard lift to the green. Many had claimed that the Atlan- tan’s prowess lay in his woods and putter, but that dbcldll% shot. l-t Scioto sped on a line for ti o reached home, and he narro ml.ll- ed his first putt for an .cl- 3, but the second went down for a 293 and victory by one stroke over Joe Tur- nesa. “For the first time in my golfing life, I am satisfled with this round of golf,” Bobby said, having in mind necessary 1 under par for the last nine holes against a strong wind. Bernard Darwin of the London Times wrote after Jones’' victory in the British championship: “He sets himself a terribly high standard, and he did not quite live up to it, but he played well enough to beat everybody else, and he is the best golfer in the world t Today New York critics ‘echoed Darwin’s comments and emphasized and will attend. to th“ businéss, which has been a secondary matter so long. But he will come up from the South once again in September, to defend at Baltusrol, N: J,, the title that he has held for the past lwo years, the American amateur. “WONDERFUL TO BE HOME,” BOBBY TELLS ATLANTANS TLANTA, July A of the ancient sport. 12 UP—A tired and wan little man came home yesterday from one of the greatest golf campaigns in the annals And Atlanta hoisted Bobby Jones upon loyal shoulders and shouted and screeched out its pride in the. 24-year-old lad who overcame the premier golfers of two continents to win the British and American open golf championships’ within “a fortnight. ‘Thousands of Bobbyis fellow townsmen were packed under a swelter- ing ‘sum on the plaza of the terminal station when the train which bmu'ht the: golf -monarch and his party from Columbus, Otio, -pulled into the accompaniment of screeching train whistles, automobile sirens, bells and the roar of thousands of wvolces: bering: down the- steps, P through the throng of Manfl! to his little year-and-a-half old daugh- ter Clara, whom he espied in'‘the arms of a nurse at the edge of the crowd. *The child welcomed her ‘dad with a warm embrace and a minia- ture Charleston, danced .to the ac- com . of les and: sirens. g “:u ‘borne aloft S ine ts own.® & aloft on'the shouldei#of friends. and carried oub of the station through two lanes of infantrymen of the National Guard, and to the tune of “Hail, the Conguering Hero Comes,” played by the Band.

The example he.has set for, the young manhood of Amer- ica s greater than all his golf titles.” ‘Through it all Bobby slouehed ‘down .4n his chair, obviously ill at ease. ‘When introduced by the chairman of the reception committee he arose to one foot, fumbled with a flag dec- orating the balcony from which he spoke, and said: ““It is ‘wonderful to be home again.” And Bobby bowed.and sat down. ‘Watts Gunn, Bobby's teamimate in the Walker Cup matches, also camé in for his share of glory. He was roundly cheered at the station and again at the athletic club, where O. B. Keeler, sports writer, who accom- panied the twe to England, told of his play abroad. ‘The ceremonies over, the crowd rushed forward “to mally can- gratulate the brbhzed little golfer. ““Wee Rabbie,” was back home with three of the four major golf titles of the world, the admiration and respect gt two continents, and the pride of his ome GERMAN PRO NETMAN BEATS VINCE RICHARDS BERLIN, July 12 () —Vincent Richards, the American tennis player, was defeated by the German profes- sional, Roman Najuchi, 6—2, 6—2, in the opening round of the tliree days’ international meet staged by the Ber- lin_Red-White Tennis Club.
