SP ORTS.: THE EVE NING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1928: — oy lones Has Proved Nemesis of Ouimet in National Amateur Golf Tournaments FRANCIS HAS RUN AFOUL OF BOBBY IN SEMI-FINALS "Ias Been Put Qut by Atlantan in Penultimate Round in Three of Last Four Championship Events and Would Like a Change. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. * T seems high time that Francis Ouimet of Boston interrogate the U. S. G. A. fathers on how long this Jones business will contimue. Losing to Bobby is getting to be ch an annual affair with Francis tat should sny one defeat him the 7 atch probably would be called un- Tcial. Jones has taken Ouimets casure in three of the last four na- onal amateur championships and each me in the penultimate round. Losing to the Galloping Georgian is thing unusual. and no man is con- jered a good insurance risk when he 'es out to match shots with the >wyer-banker champion. But it is presumed that Ouimet would appreci- 2 the opportunity to play in just one re final before he puts his clubs in rage. and that hardly is possible so s to meet Jones in of the count occurred in 19: e was put 3 e Boy Scouts, while in 24, t was Jones who reduced role of a spectator. His rtune has been in being bracketed h Jones. Had he been placed in the er half of the field. it is possible that > might have faced Bobby in the cli- ~actic round at least once and perhaps vice.

The battle was a bit more even -t Baltrusol in 1926, and for the first “3 holes Ouimet gave Bob quite a bat- | | spent | tory would be slightly in 1 tle. But in the afternoon the sturdiness of the Georgian quickly told and Fran- cis fe and 4. 1 Minakhada last Summer saw a repeti- | tion of the Merion slaughter. Ouimet. | who had been playing fine golf in his | earlier matches, was 3 down in five holes, and all of his good shot-making {was lost in the storm of Jones' iron | pars, Master of Boston Star. ‘ Had luck thown Ouimet in the other half of the field, golf history might have been slightly different. Jones is the only man so completely the master of the Boston star. Ouimet twice has [L‘ngnged Von Elm and beaten him; he can match shots with Chick Evans, and his canny knowledge of the game gives | him the edge over the longer-hitting, effervescent youngsters. In the last three matshes leading up to the semi-finals he has taken such Finlay 1 shman. His were usually sharp and_ decisive, when he faced Jones his il W Were Francis to mest an 18-hole match. his chances for vic- reased, for Jones encounters his greatest difficul- ties in the shorter struggles and sel- dom puts on speed until they are passed. But since both are seeded players there is little chance of thep meeting early in a championship and Ouimet’s best chance to reach the finals is in getting a place in the bracket opposite Mr. Jones. 1f Jones does not elect to captain the 1928 United States Walker Cup team, the choice of Ouimet for that honor would strike a popular chord on both sides of the Atlantic. Vardon and Ray in the 1919 open weat & long way toward popularizing the game--then an object of ridicule and cheap jokes— with the American public. Then the spectacle of a Boston school hoy de- feating the accepted masters of the game caught the aticrtion of those not initiated in the game It was the first color touch to fne game of golf and the foundation for .ater interna- tional victories in the open competi- tion. Ouimet has long been master with a niblick and putter and there are thou- sands who would like to sce him exer- cise those clubs in the amateur finals once more. Maybe luck will favor him with a place in the bracket cpposite Bob Jones when th: pairings are made at Braeburn next September.

George J. Voigt of Bannockburn con- | tinues on his steady pace at Palm Beach. Voigt yesterday defeated the | veteran William B.

The match today should aid in | while Voigt has been placed in the sec- ond ten. The Bannockburn star has been playing the same consistently good brand of golf he showed last season, | and seems well started again on a ca- reer similar to that which netted him a trio of sectional titles last Spring in the South. Edwin Burr has again been chosen to lead the Tech High Shcool golf team.

In line with Congressional's an- | nouncement that it does not intend to hold an invitation tournament this | year, Guy Mason, chairman of the golf committee, says he would prefer that the club not hold any sort of big event, such as the Middle Atlantic Golf Asso- ciation tourney, for which Congr | slonal s in line this year.
