A stroke sav- ed here and there would have turned the tide one way or the other. Good golfers realize this, but it is the most difficult thing in the world to impress it upon poor golfers who seem destin- ed always to dub and dub and dub. Jones Modest Victor. Bobby Jones has been as modest in his newly won laurels as he always has been through his long golfing carrer. This *veteran” of 24 would not have changed his expression if, at the last moment, some player who finished be- hind him had suddenly run wild and lifted the crown from his head. Bobby has learned: stoicism and repression. Golf has taught him that, as it will any one who follows the game in the - true golfing spirit. It always seems to be by’s fate In medal play tour- paments to finish early in the play, m ents of suspense Bobby is never He stands around discussing the game modestly, pointing out where he could have been flé:o(ter than h: friends from Not Saturday did he show the slightest nervousness or ask how his close com- , the two men could be separated, and then Willie won. plain how he came to make 35 ol} those last nine holes, with a string o eight 4's and one 3. But this leaves an explanation still due as to why Joe Turnessa, the tall young Italian from the New York district, one year younger than youthful Bobby, sudden- ly failed and shot a 40 coming home. Joe had four strokes on Bobby as they turned for home the last time. Bobby knew it. He knew the task of winning was all but hopeless. Yet he walked right out and shot the best and steadiest golf of his career, never faltering for a moment. Word came back to cheer him up from time to time. Joe had wavered at the long twelfth and taken 6. the twelfth with a 4. The winning spirit caught him and he swept along in rhythmic splendor. Yet how to account for \‘-\Ibhfiflh'l! ‘The Scioto out in a sort of bowl. It is the long- est course in the briefest space of sround in America. Some 6.000 wild- red golf fans were following Bobby.

The young Italian as he plodded nervously through those last nine holes could hear the cheers coming from the Bobby crowd, He knew they meant achievement. He knew hat the lad from Atlanta was creep- éll up to him, like inexorable fate. Time and fime again the cries of the Jones® gallery beat upon his ears. It seemed as if a pack of wolves were after him. At last he could feet their hot breath upon the back of his neck. The cheers from the Bobby crowd meant something. Joe himself turned out many a fine stroke. He 'was rewarded with unstinted applause n'om his own admiring gallery. But no sooner had he made a dead ap- proach or a brilllant recovery than the Bobby crowd would send forth its chant of victory. .
