SPORTS ROLAND GETS 79 FOR 155, A SHOT BACK OF VON ELM Voigt, Ranking Second of Local Players, Fai Qualify With 159—Standifer Takes 161; Huity, 163; Stevinson and Houghton, 16¢. BY W R.

Bob Jones' performance was the amazing burst of skill that the British open champion pulls once or twice in every tournament, showing the home folks that here, at last, is the super- man of golf. TUncanny, flawless—one could use a host of adjectives to describe the bewildoring exhibition the Atlanta wonder put up yesterday afternoon. A gallery of 3,000 excited devotees watched the blase lad from the South register seven birdies over the route romp around in 67 to tie Jimm Johnston’s record for the course and tie Clark Corkranis record of 142 for the winning score in the qualifying round. And after it was all over Bobby was complaining over the 5 he took at the seventeenth, the easiest hole on the course, where his second shot kick- ed over the green. Seven birdies, -two holes over par, end nine holes in par, this lad reg- Istered in his crushing effort. | | | | | And to- day he is an even-money bet to re- gain his amateur crown, even though he must win five match play rounds. Just to add a fillip to the occdsion and give the boys in the back room something to mull over, Bobby neu- tralized his 5 at the seventeenth by holing a birdie 3 at the elghteenth, a Sixfoot pytt finding the bottom of the tin. Ellsworth Augustus of Cleveland pulled the big stunt of the day, how- ever, when he holed a 20-footer on the last greén to tie for the play- off and won a place on the first hole. Jimmy Johnston of Minneapolis shot a jolt into par by negotiating the course in 71, but even that was mnot good enough to stay leval with Jones. Von Elm Has Trouble. George Von Elm didn’t have any too easy a road to gain the cham- ¢ pionship flight. Plainly dissatisfied with his game of yesterday, the champion got out in 39 and was in grave danger. He started back 4, 3, 5. missed a chip shot at the thir- teenth to gain a birdie and was in « tough spot. He knew it, but with {he help of Doc Silas Newton’s nerve pilis he crashed out a pair of birdies on the fourteenth and fifteenth and could miss a shot and still qualify. His miss came at the sixteenth, where a threefooter slid by the edge. But the blonde battler from the far West finished the last two holes in perfect figures to get in. Nevertheless, there were anxious moments for the sturdy Los Angeles Jad and he bore down heavily over the last nine, crashing the bail from the tee astounding distances and get- ting behind it with all he had.

And perhaps George just felt that need for phenomenal Scoring bearing down on him. At any rate, he was far from the mpeceable performer he has shown himself to be around Washington.

Instead he played his second shot from . ‘Seven of his 14 wood shots tee found the high grass. asking just a bit too much he is a supergolfer re grass that fringes Min- hda’'s fairway To add to the intricacy of an already sperate situation, George's putter, h let him down on Monday, a, iled him yvesterday. But even at that, given two pars on the eighth hole and he would have qualified. Twice he played it and twice he ob- tained a 5—a total of 4 over par for two shots at this 232.yard par 3 hole. Here vesterday he played short of the green and took three putts for a 5, getting out in 39, and on the ragged edge as he well knew. He hooked to the woods at the tenth and took another 5, one over par.

Neither Houghton of Manor, Stevin- son of Columbia or Hufty of Con- onal ever had a chance after the first day. Houghton, running into a 7 and an 8 on the thirtenth and fourteenth yvesterday, took an 84 for a total of 166. Stevinson, playing the short holes in great fashion, but running into trouble on the longer affairs, scored another 83 for the same total of 166. Stevinson had two birdie 2's on the first nine, but finished 6, 4, 6, for a 40. A 7 crept into his card at the thirteenth and a 6 at the sixteenth and he was out. Hufty, starting with a 6 at the first hole, finished the first nine in 41 where he needed at least a 37, and was definitely out of it.

Gene n has a grip fashioned like ketch above, as the slender part below the top gives him a better finger grip with his right hand And since we have used zen for our example, let us continue with him in the matter of clubs. A few fundamental facts will crop out. Take the drawing of him as a arter. There he is at the top of his swing for a drive. The figur in outline leaning forward is Sarazen putting. Why this marked difference? First, wood shots are for distance. One can- not swing naturally and - with strength from a cramped posi- tion. But in putting the shaft is shorter, so_the golfer may lean forward and get his eye over the line. As iron shots are made with shafts of shorter length than wood, though with full power, the 1 ¢ also must stand closer to the ball than for a wooden shot.

By a Staff Correspondent. MINNEAPOLIS, August 2 Newton, member of the Con- sional and Burning Tree clubs, added yesterday to his reputation as a nerve doctor for champions. Ot course, it may have been men- {tal and then it may not have been, { but the little potash pills that Dr. Newton served out to George Von Elm when the champion was totter- ing on the brink of oblivion certain- ly scemed to help. 1t's quite a long story, stretching back for two years—back to the ! torria open champlonship at Worces- | & d nothing can convince George { Von Elm that the potash pills served out by Newton didn't win the ama- teur championship for him last year. Of course, every one knows that Von Elm won_ the championship, playing with Newton's clubs after the kit owned by the Californian had let him down badly. But: the wide world doesn't know that New- | ton carries around with him a bottle {of potash pills, containing what h |ealls the 12 essentinl salts of the body, a nerve tonic and a sedative. And few know that when Von Elm borrowed Newton's clubs last y at the same time he borrowed a bottle of potash pills, believing them efficacious for unsettled nerves. Whether they are or not matters little, Von Elm believes they are, and that’s what counts, for he used them in the last three championship rounds last year and won. Yesterday he was in dire danger of not qualifving, slugging with every resource at his command to get in, de- spairing, dropping & shot to par here and there and hoping against hope, Si Newton’s Little Pills Again Rescue Golf Champi_on Von Elm| Suddenly he spied Newton on the thirteenth hole, just after he had missed a_chip Down went a trio of potash pills into the stomach of the champlon, with- out a chase The effect out a 300-vard tee shot, got home with an iron at this par 5 affair and sank a birdie 4. Stepping up to the fifteenth, he swallowed a couple more pills and sank a 50-foot putt for nother birdie. Then he missed a short one at the sixteenth, but that was rank carelessness and not the pills. And he got in with two shots to spare. Newton left last night for New i York, but before he left he sent over big bottle of potash pills to the \mpion. Tommy Armour believes in them too. The torrid third day at Worces. ter, out there in the sun, found Tommy on the verge of a sunstroke, reeling and gasping. He didn’t want to quit in a championshi and didn't know what o do. Newton came along and told Tommy about the pills. Tommy took them and finished fairly well up. He played through, a thing he might not have been able to do without cither the mental or the physical re- ction to D ewton's pill: TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F | School foot ball, base ball and basket ball player, will enter the University Fisher had his shot to get a birdie. | s magical.

Von Elm was no better last year in qualifying play and yet went through to lick Jones in the finals. He seems to revive after medal play is over and he meets an individual opponerft face to face over the niblicks. His first match is with John McKinlay of Chicago, and his second, should he survive, with either Rudy Knepper of Sioux City, Iowa, or Harry Legg of Minneapolis.

Along came Jimmie Johnston of the home club with a 71 and took the lead by five strokes, but he had not reached the final green before word spread that Bobby Jones was burning up the course with a marvelous 31 on the first nine.
