SPORTS. Desire to Please California Golf Fans Cost Bobby Jones His Amateur Title STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE PRACTICE ROUNDS T00K THEIR TOLL Atlantan Used Up Too Much of His Game Prior to Tourney Start. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS, LEVELAND, September 16.— Much explaining will be done over the coming Winter for the defeat of Bobby Jones in the first round of the national ama- teur golf championship at Pebhle Beach. The obvious explanation is that in Johnny Goodman the Georgian met a golfer who for one round was his supe- rior. But the golf world knows that day in and day out Jones could give Goodman strokes and beat him. So the explanation must go further. ‘The fact is that Bobby Jones was beaten by the Californians’ unstinted admiration for his game. From the mo- ment he arrived in Los Angeles, some in advance of the chempion- ship, until he was beaten by Goodman his appearance on a course was the signal for the immediate gathering of golf followers. Really Exhibitions. Nis practice rounds bacame exhibited | matehes, and it was seldom he played with fewer than 2,000 interested specta- tors trudging at his heels. And Jones was too much of a champion and too much of a showman to do other than give his galleries the very best shots he eould. make, Consequently he left too much of his golf on the fairways of Los Angeles courses and Pebble Beach before the ogenlnl guns of the championship | were fired. | | Jones reached the peak of his game on the Friday preceding the champion- ship. That day he blistered Pebble Beach with a 68, and was in the finest form of his life. Had the tournament opened on that day, Jones probably still would be the champion. But golf is an odd game, and its finesse comes and | goes without warning. Between Friday | and the following Wednesday Jones had ! the keenness of his touch and played without inspiration. | Perhaps it is true that Jones took Goodman a bit too lightly. Had he/ been thrown against Tolley, Willing or | some other famous star in the opening round, he unquestionably would have started under a full head of steam.| But he seemed a bit slack when he started against the Omaha youngster, | and staked Johnny to a margin he could not overcome. Shows He Is Stale. Evidence of Jones' staleness best was | shown on the thirteenth and fourteenth | holes. On the short thirteenth he stuck a ball into the back of a sand trap, from where he had to play an almost impossible shot from a hanging lie. ‘Then he proceeded to pop an easy aj proach shot on the fourteenth into a ‘wide trap. Had he played those two holes with his usual dexterity, he un- questionably would have broken even the wooden-faced Goodman. The gal- lery momentarily expected Jones to un- leash & volley of his incomparable shots and knock Goodman from the lead after the first four holes had been played, and Bobby tried hard. But staleness had shackled his skill, particularly on the greens, where Calamity Jane seemed to lack power in cupping the ball. Jones is followed by a peculiar run Warner’s Spinner Play Is Effective BY SOL METZGER, ‘What's & spinner play? You'll be reading about them every Sunday from now on until next New Year, for they have come to stay in_foot ball. Oddly they are not new. They were used long before the varsity stars of 1929 were weaned. But that's another story for later on. Spinner Pll are just what the name implies.

He'd get the ball from center, turn haif-way around and make a bluff at giving it to back No. 1, who swept around behind him as though to ecircle his own right end. But after No. 1 ed No. 4 and bluffed taking the ball No. 4 would complete his spin and buck straight ahead through the line.

TILDEN SEES FRENCH NET STYLE U. S. NEED By the Associated Press DETROIT, September 16.—William T. Tilden does not believe the United States will win the Davis Cup until the | American players adopt the French style of play. Tilden, here for an ex- hibition match yesterday, said that the elimination of errors is necessary before the American players can hope to suc- cessfully compete with the French ten- ais stars. By elimination of errors, he said, was meant the exchange of strokes until you find your opening to put away the int. To accomplish this our players must build up a well rounded game from the ground up. Few of our lead- ing players today can claim a game without a weak spot. Tilden said that although he believed his game was as sound today as it ever was, there no longer was the thrill in winning that he experienced when he was ‘“‘coming up. He said he would continue to play competitive tennis until he was 40, but he never again would represent the United States In Davis Cup competi- of luck in his bids for the American | tion. championship. Since 1923 he has won | the national open every third year, and twice he has won te amateur on suc- cessive years, only to stumble when faced with the opportunity of breaking a 33-year-old record. Defedt at Pebble Beach already has made Jones keen for the coming of the ' M 1930 season. Next Summer he will go gunning for the four major golf cham- plonships of the worid. He will play in both the British open and amateur, as well as the Walker Cup matches, and then return to the States to unlimber his artillery in the open. THE ‘ISJVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.

EW YORK, September 16— Phil Scott, , British heavy- weight, will soon in to be- lisve that most of the leading contenders for Gene Tunney's vacated throne are afraid of him. Max Schmeling, German star, ‘pre- ferred to accept suspension in this State rather than go through with a bout with Scott arranged by Schmel- ing's depused manager, Arthur Buelow. Humbert Fugazy, promoter, then gr- ranged a match between Scott and Vietorfo Campolo, the giant Argentine, but has had more than a little trouble getting Campolo into the ring. Yesterday Fugazy was forced to an- nounce a second postponement of the bout scheduled for Wednesday night at Ebbits PField. The first postponement was caused by an injury Campolo suf- ferred to_his back. Now the Argentine wan.s a few more days to get into con- ditlon before mecting Scott.

With only one dissenting vote, they agreed on the Roll- ing Road course as the scene of the qualifying_round, and it will be held over the Catonsville course on Septem- ber 25. Because of the money involved in a trip to California and the time nec- essary, it is not likely that many of the local pros will essay the task of quall- fying. Columbia Country Club has set the dates of its club championship tourna- ment for October 9, 10, 11 and 12. This tournament usually is fully as large as one or two of the invitation events around Washington, for Columbia has a large group of golfers in its member- ship and most of them make it a point J. to play in the club championship event. There are five flights with trophies do- nated by the members of the club for each fiight, and eight men qualify in the champlonship division, to play a 36- hole final round, while the other flights are played with 18-hole match play rounds. J. D. Kaufman, president of the Town and Country Club, is a southpaw and an inveterate golfer who seldom cracks 100, broke 90 in the qualifying round of this club championship yes- terday and thereby entered the cham- plonship flight. He made a score of 89, which was only two strokes worse than the fine 87 he scored a few days ago. Harry G. Pitt of Manor, former Mid- atlantic_ champion, was trimmed by Luther Florine of Bannockburn on the last green of their match in the Ban. nockburn-Manor m match yesterda: at Manor, which was won by Bannock- burn by the margin of a single point. Pitt, after getting over the ruj first nine at Manor in 35 strokes, suddenly developed a streak of wildness and took 46 for the second nine, enabling Ray ‘Farrell to tie him for first place in the qualifying round for the championship. M. A. Shipley led the fleld in the qualifying round for the Argyle Club champlonship with a card of 76, but that was not unusual, for Shipley has been the most corfsistent player at Ar- gyle this season.
