Jones Has Right Golf Idea, Says Hagen : Fan’s Shout Nearly Cosls Shoe Title NEEDS ONLY WEEK TOGETINTO TRIM fros, As Rule, Play Too Much, " Walter Thinks—Pruning His Activities. { BY WALTER HAGEN, ' British Open Golf Champlon. OBBY JONES is treining for the amateur championship at Del Monte the same way he trained for the open at Winged Foot, where it worked effectively for him. He is giving himself about a week at Pebble Beach, and with this practice behind him and no serious golf since the open Bobby will be formidable. Bobby profits by not bing forced to play too much golf under high pres- sure, especially as he grows older. He has more reserve for the big events. The leading professionals are unable to do.this, as they have to make a living at the game and are constantly under strain. Horton Smith tells me that nobody but himself really knows what it took out of him last Winter, when he won something like 10 tourna- ments. Not Playing So Much. I am not playing in as many open tournaments as formerly. I realize that I grow 1 year older every 12 months, and if I am to retain any sort of punch for the big events I must stay away from a lot of the smaller ones. That is one reason I didn't go to Milwaukee for the Western open. There wasn't a chance of winning unless I scored very low—a score that would have taken plenty of mental as well as physical energy to get down to. When Joe Kirkwood and I started playing exhibitions we did 36 holes a day, but I have cut down to 18, and about five matches a week. I realize that as time passes the body will not stand too much, especially in the Ameri- can climate. I notice that the old-time British professionls last a long time— longer than I think possible in this climate. Since our return from Europe, Horton Smith and I have played 40 exhibition matches and in 2 national champion- ships. We won 35 of these matches, lost 3 and tied 2. We have to give the best show we can get on the road, but we_get too much golf. There are so many tournaments now that if a golfer attempts to take them all in he will wear himself out in a short time, The Winter schedule Is more punishing all the time.

BROOKLINE, Mass., August 29 —Big Bl Tilden and Frank Hunter today faced the greatest test in their quest for the national doubles tennis cham- plonship. a title they won two years ago. The fortunes of the draw forced them to clash in a semi-finals match with George M. Lott, jr.. of*Chicago, and Johnny Doeg of Santa Monica, Calif., the team that kept them out of last | . week's final bracket at Newport, R. I, by subjecting them to a crushing straight set defeat. The former champions barely squeezed dnto the semi-finals play _yesterday. when they nosed Gregory Mangin of Newark, N. J.. and Norman Farquhar- son of South Africa out of the running in a five-set match. Lott and Doeg have romped through the early rounds of the national play without ~ great difficulty. Yesterday they eliminated Frank Shields of New ~York and Donald Strachan, Philadel- phia, in straight sets. The other semi-finals match this afternoon is Berkeley Bell and Lewis N. White, Texans, and W. F. Coen, jr., of Kansas City and Harris Coggeshall, Des Moines, Towa. Coen and Coggeshall _defeated “Bunny” Austin and J. S. Oliff, the English team. in a long five-set match. Bell and White beat Johnny Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison, who won the ‘British doubles championship and then defeated Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra in the Davis Cup play at Paris.

HE' A FIGHTER ON HIS 70 INA VERITABLE CLOUDBURST AT WINGED FROOT LAST JUNE PROVED THAT. —By FEG MURRAY </ THE LIS o0 "Metropolitan Newspaper Service lived in California for six years and knows this Del Monte layout well, of thousands in the gallery. At Merion in 1924 Jones beat Von Elm, 9 and 8. George reversed the decision two years later at Baltusrol, 2 and 1, in a nip-and-tuck affair, Since then Von Elm has been un- able to get by the “18-hole” stymie; losing to Harry Legg in 1927 and to Arthur Yates last year. George finished fourth in the United States open in 1928 and was right up behind Sarazen and Denny Shute this year, with 297. He has played on several Walker Cup teams and in 1926 tied for third place in the British open with Walter Hagen. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1801, LARENCE WASHINGTON JONES, the indispensable lock- er boy at the Washington Golf and Country Club, has turned author. Jones’ efforts in the literary field have a practical bearing on what he hopes may ultimately become part of the nomenclature of the golf course. He has drawn up a list of names which he suggests as the names for the eighteen holes on the golf course. Clarence Jones has been with the Washington club a long, long time, and naturally he has absorbed much of the tradition and spirit of the Virginia club. Some of his names go back to the war days when Woodrow Wilson used the course almost every day. Oth- ers have a more direct bearing on re- cent occurrences in the years that have intervened since the course was changed from a short one to one of standard length. For whatever théy are worth (and many of them sound worth while) here are Jones' suggestions for the names of the holes at Washington: No. 10—New Business. 0. 1—"Gimme.” No. 2—Hilitop. No. 11—Devil's Creek. No. 3—The Ditch. No. 12—Woodrow Gap. No. 4—The Forest. No. No. 5—The Pines. No. No. 6—The Cedars. No. No. 7—Roadside. No No. 8 Lovers' Lane. No.17—Jonah. No. 9—The Burn. No. 18—Pay Statfon. The term he has used to designate the tenth hole is indicative of the usual type of game played at Washington, for the members there are followers of the Nassau system of playing, and when one side is far ahead of another side the books are generally opened for “new business” on the tenth tee. In other words, an additional bet usually is made over the last nine. Ben L. Fuller was the victim the other day of a practical joke, pulled off by R. Goldsborough Hunt. It hap- pened at the fifteenth hole at Wash- ington, which is hard enough anyhow, and Fuller made it harder. In & four- ball game were Hunt, Fuller, R. J. Mor- man and Irving Moore. They were playing from the rear tee markers and Fuller had the honor. Unleashing a mightly swat, Fuller topped the ball and it hit the markers for the front tees square in the center, bounding high in the air and falling 10 feet behind the spot from which it had originally been driven. Of course Fuller couldn't tee it up again and had to play it where it lay. But Hunt, who claimed to have some jurisdiction in the matter since he had a side match with Fuller, demanded that since Fuller was away, he should lay his second shot before the others Rit their tee shots. Considerable dis- cussion ensued, until finally it was pointed out that the rules state the members of a four-ball match all must drive from the tee before the second shots are played. Then the ball that is farthest from the hole must be played. He asked us not to tell in too much detail about it, but the story is too good to keep, concerning D. C. Gruver's mighty wallop on the fifth hole of the Annapolis Roads course, We were play- ing in a four-ball game with Gruver, J. Logan Hopkins and T. P. Noyes, and all had driven poor balls but Gruver. He stepped up and cut loose with a mighty swing which was intended to knock that ball & mile, but he wasted most of the stroke on the backswing, for he knocked it just three feet, Nothing daunted by this unseemly stroke of fate, he stepped calmly up to. the next one and poled it out 240 yards. He got a par 5 on the hole. And the hole is a real par 5 affair of 570 yards. One of the greatest golf shots we ever have seen Was %lyed by R. J. Morman yesterday at n the seventeenth he topped his tee shot, the ball going less than 100 yards, and leaving him that most difficult of shots, a shot that must come in with & hook to a terrain falling away from ¥ i : i STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE when it hit and not run down into the ditch to the right. He played the shot perfectly. The ball rose to the right of the trees, hooked in toward the hole and left him an eight-foot putt. which he knocked in for a birdie 3, after ap- parently being completely out of the hole, That shot made the third con- secutive birdie in the foursome, com- posed of Frank Youry, Don Dougherty, Morman and the writer. The best ball of the foursome for the last four holes of the Washington course was 4, 3, 3, 3, which is four under par.

Mrs. Mida and Miss Nelson had large backers, too, because of their great triumphs in yesterday's second 18-hole round. In today's matches Mrs. Mida was paired against Mrs. Lifur, former Cali- fornia champion, who has defeated Vir- ginia’ Wilson of Chicago and Virginia Vilas, another Chicagoan; Miss Nelson faced Miss Wright, who entered the quarter final round by defeating Anne Kennedy, Tulsa; Mrs. Hillj who elim- inated Eva May Johnson “of Chicago, faced Mrs. Higbie, Detroit champion, who entered the round by crushing Helen MacMorran of Chicago, and Miss Wall faced Miss Wattles.

By the Associated Press. DEL MONTE, Calif., August 29.— Bobby Jones, national amateur golf champion, will try his clubs out on a different course here today, when, with Francis Oulmet, Roger D. Lapham, president of the California Golf Asso- clation, and Harry Lapham of Bos- ton, he will stroke the sporty Cypress !

Bobby, trailed by a gallery of some 3,000 fans, slapped old man par down for two strokes at Pebble Beach yester- day in a foursome with Cyril Tolley, the British star; Phillips Finlay of Red- lands, Calif., and Francis Brown of Honolulu. The champion shot an even 70. The course par is 72. He also set a record for the remade course, the previous best official mark being made by Johnny McHugh, the California champlon. Three Birdies in Row. Apparently relaxed and playing easily, Jones went around with the birdies singing sweetly every other hole or so. He was 1 under par on the first nine, with birdies on the fifth and sixth holes. His most spectacular streak, however, started on the fourteenth, where he got the first of three con- secutive birdies. He dropped a ZO-foulA‘ri on the fourteenth and sank putts of 6 feet, or more on the fifteenth and six- | teenth. “Calamity Jane, his veteran | putter, appeared to be working from all angles of the greens. The golfing Atlanta lawyer's card of 70 made the other three members of the foursome somewhat sad. Tolley re- quired 79, Finlay 80 and Brown, who | is one of the longest hitters in the| game, took an 82. John Dawson of | Chicago turned in an unofficial card of 71 Tuesday. It was reported Dawson might withdraw from the tournament owing to the officials having questioned his amateur status because he is a| traveling salesman for a golf ball firm. | In the match yesterday Jones and Tolley defeated Brown and Finlay, 4 and 2. Tolley hit the Jongest shots of the match, although Finlay tore off | some distance smashes at various tees. Jones made no attempt to match drives with the others, but seemed to be in- tent on rounding out his irons and in stroking the greens. George Voigt, medalist in the 1923 tournament, followed Jones' foursome around yesterday and turned in a card of 71. Volgt had three birdies in the round and might have cut under the Jones score had he not missed short putts on two holes for pars. George Von Elm, conceded by many to be Bobby's most dangerous opponent in the national championship, was un- able to show much during his practice round. turning in a total of 76.
