- “ mark on EMULATION OF BOB JONES DISTRESSING TO MOTHERS Epidemic of Black Eyes, Broken Windows and Ruin- ed Furniture Results From Children Essaying to Play Game With Improvised Implements, BY MILLARD FERGUSON. A tion. Window panes are being broken by the score. Flower beds are being dug up because they make nice bunkers for front-yard goli courses, and fathers’ clubs are being borrowed so regularly that most golfing dads have taken to eating, sleeping and work- ing with their golf bags at their sides. Children here have absolutely for- gotten that such a thing as base ball exists, and kites, marbles and tops have been put out of mind. Gorf nothing but golf, is the game of the junior citizens of the community, They play it with everything from bed slats to base ball bats, and use anything that comes to hand for a golf ball. In Druid Hills, out among the fashionable homes, one little boy was seen whaling away at a lump of coal with a piece of scantling. The fact that he sliced his drive with half an inch of another little boy’s head didn’t bother either of them the least bit. But it is one of the things that is causing mothers here to rise up in wrath against goli for babies. They have stood being golf widows for some years, but they are violent- ‘ opposed to also being robbed of their offspring. The general use of clubs of all va- TLANTA.

Bobby himself is thinking more about business than golf. wmu he has made no announcement, it is gen- erally understood here that he will enter Emory University this Fall to study law, and will take a two years' course. Bobby is already a graduate of the Georgia School of Technology, where he took an M. E. degree and then entered Harvard, where he was grnduned in leas than two years with an A. B. degree. Since winning both the British epen and the American open tournaments the possibility has been within his grasp of making a fortune from golf, but he never has considered doing and that is to be like Bobby: Jones when this, even indirectly. He never has and never will make a penny from the &ame. He is choosing his profession along lines that have nothing to do with gelf, On the eve of the Bobby Jones din- ner, with which the new East Lake Golf Club is to be formally opened here on August 6, with Bobby as the guest of henor, Walter C. Hill, vice president of one of the best known business corparations in Atlanta, has summed up the followin facts about the world's greatest | golfer: Some Faets About .Jones. “He is one of the finest sportsmen known to any game-and yet an only | Hainesn afe child. “He is the werld's greatest golfer, but he doesn’t play golf very often, and no more than the average busi- ness man who is a golf enthusiast. He rarely practices. *‘His best score is 63, nine less than par, made over the East Lake course in Atlanta, with the regular tees and greens in play. “He starts every game with a new ball,-and uses two or three during 18 bholes. He rarely ever LyS more than nine holes with the same ball. He carries about 15 clubs in his bag. “His beautiful wife is a sweetheart of childhood, and the only love he ever had. They were neighbors as little tots, and played together when no older than Clara Malone, their only child.” A D. C.

Although the Washington representatives do not quite have the class of other capable teams, one or more of the brigade may do well in the tourney. ' ‘Washington has yet to win a na- tional public links championship and may pot do so for some years, but golfers from this city have made a the records of national municipal golf. Earl McAledr, now a member of the Manor Club, won the qualifying round at Dayton EW years ago and A. L. Houghton, als¢ a Maner Club member, went to the ‘semi-final at Salisbury last vear. Strangely “enough, George J. Voigt, undoubtedly the best golfer Washington publie links has turned out, did not do any- thing of note in the national munie- ipal events. Cole, the star of the Washingten quartet, is a very good golfer, with a sound style and a finé temperament. e is a student of the game, even theugh he has been playing less than a half dozen years, believes in con- stant practice and works hard at the game. Cole intends to join a private club in the Fall. minister. The golf team m of the Manor Club, which has been very successful in.in- ter-club matches this year, will meet the team of the Beaver Dam Club'this afternoon at 2 o'clock at Beaver Dam. The Manor Club team, whose captain is D. L. Thomson, is coraposed of the following menibers: Earl McAleeg. A 1. Houghton, Harry G. Pitt, ‘W Richardson, P. W. Calfee, E, J. Gray, . L Landvoight, Marshall Morgan, C. Connors, James Patterson, R. ‘F ‘Garrity and R. W. Westwood. Harold Hilton, famous British araa. teur golfer, former holder of hoth the American and British amateur titles, does not concede Bobby Jones to be the greatest golfer of all time, Hiiton says no means of comparison with such players as:Tom Morris and Willle Park is blenas the game was entirely ent in the dlyl the old masters p\nyrl from the sport of today in so far as implements are concerned. Hilton, in support of his argument, points out that the b5-year-old J. H. Taylor, several times a winner of tho British open, finished only seven shots back of Jones in the recent ehamplonship at Lytham and St Annes. _Vardon and-Braid are also mentioned by Hilton as men who in th- hey-day of their game, could not sidered inferior to the present Am jcan and British open titl holder, even though here again th { are much older than the ‘redoubtabl Atlanta lad, and a direct comparison of the e of the youthful Jones with men old enough to be his father is difficult.

Left_Arm Important Factor. | The left arm as an sid to balance is most valuable, and almost every player seems to steady himself by ex- |tending his left arm. This is an § stinctive effort to maintain - perfect balance. The outstretched arm usual- ly seems to draw the finish to the rhythm and beauty of the stroke. In the picture it can be seen how com- pletely it preserves the harmony and {beauty of the figure in action. The little jockey cap which' Mrs. Godfree uluall‘l wears has become popular with a number ©f players, amohg .them the pretty French girl, Mile. Didi Viasto.
