In subduing the widely ballyhooed torrors of this famous course, with iis chasms and cliffs, its bunkers and its fairways skirting the sparkling ocean | blue, Jones shot one of the greatest| rounds of his career.

This round was all that was needrd to clinch the preliminary argument for the Georgia lawyer, No one knows bet- ter than Bobby himself that record- breaking rounds in practice do not . champlonships where the hazards ar greater and more frequent.

Keating's first question as he clam- bered out of the water at the end of yesterday’s 15-mile grind was: “Where i Vierkoetter?" Assured that the German was far be- hind, Keating smiled. Later he ex- pressed the hope that Vierkoetter would “apologize for what he said about the Lake George swim.” | Keating, swimming the 15 miles in 8 | hours 18 minutes 135 seconds, finished | about 500 yards ahead of Vierkoecter. ways in a contendiug position, Ke: swept into the lead on the seventh lap, pasing Norman Ross of Chicago with three-quarters of that lap completed.

His downfall was blamed on two thingsy He was inexperienced in pitch- ing by electric light and he lit his pip> at the wrong time. That pipe episode, some contend, was . an important factor in the battle Peake had won the first game quite decisively. He appeared to have the situation well in hand in the second when his dudeen went out. He stopped to fire it. He puffed mightily and ex- uded clouds of smoke that fillsd not only the atmosphere about him but his eyes. They watered, 'tis said, and af- fected his vision. “That business of the pipe may sound far-fetched.” a Peake adherent said to- | day, “but it gave Crane just the break he needed. Peake was thrown off his game for a spell and Crane quickly ught up. This was important psych logically, too. Crane got a close d=- | cision in the second game and had to fight all the way to come out on top in the third.” Peake. however, has offered no ‘alibi. He is busy these days preparing for a second and more importent clash with Crane. Both are qualified for the South- ern Maryland finals to be held at Rock- ville next Saturday. There is a chance that one or both will be eliminated early and a match between them prevented. Their rivals will be Merle Heilman and Raymond Panholzer of Prince Georges County and P. Reklis and T.

Two of golf's heaviest hitters, both former United States amateur cham- fons, are entered in the Pebble Beach tournament, and quite likely the galleries who follow them wil be thrilled as of yore when their long driving was the talk of follow- ers of the Scotch pastime from coast to _coast. H. Chandler Egan, king of all United States amateurs in the United States in 1904 and 1905, and Jesse Guilford, who copped the coveted cup in 1921, are the gentlemen in question, and_though neither player is given much of.a chance to win this year, it is always interesting when & former ruler tries to regain Hopping. who finiched second to Peake in the Silver Spring tournament, has been declared resiglent town champion and Crane the open title winner. consistently for the past 25 years and is now playing his best golf, he may be a real factor in the big tourna- ment. As a student at Harvard, Egan added from 30 to 50 yards to his drives by developing his arms, wrists, back and shoulders by prac- ticing throwing the hammer. Jesse Guilford used to astound golf galleries about 15 years ago by the length of his drives, which often carried more than 300 yards, He was dubbed the “Boston Siege Gun,” and the fans who loved the lusty ,wallop flocked to see him swat them. He won the champlonship at St. Louis in 1921, beating Bob Gardner | 7and 6. +a long-vacated throne. Egan was a star player around Chicago from 1902 on, winning the Wesfern amateur champlonship for | fouf yea Besides annexing the | United States amateur crown twice, he was also runner-up to Bob Gard- ner in 1909. Now he is famous along the whole Pacific Coast as the for- mer Northwestern and California titlist, who laid out the revised and | stiffened Pcbble Beach course on which the 1929 amateur champion- | ship is to be played. | Naturally Egan knows every inch of the links, and as he is one of the very few golfers in the world who has remained in championship form Incidentally, in next years tourna- ment, only residents of Maryland will be permitted to compete in that state and the same rule will govern in Vir- cinia and Washington.

The officials who have governed the game. both here and abroad. have ever striven to up- hold its high plane. That's why changes have been few and quite slow to come about. The freak club, the odd idea never gets a foothold. We stick pretty much to the notions laid down by the fathers. One must heed this spirit, else he or she is not a golfer. A recent example of what, this spirit consists of will suffice. A CNE @RITISH GOLFER USED A HIGH TEE LIKE THI&— HE WAS ADVISED 10 AND DID ABANOON IT THOUGH 1T 15 NOT BARRED 8Y RULE. | 1\\«5\..~ of international fame used a tee over 6 inches high, took a wide stance, used a base ball swing and sure got distance. No golf rule limits the height of tees. But as the original tees were not artificial and could not be made high without delay, and inconven- ience, it struck the Royal and An- cient St. Andrew that this 6-inch artifice was not in keeping with the traditional spirit of the sport. No prohibitive rule was drawn up. Merely a request made that it be forgotten. It was. A golfer is no better than his tee shot.
