CHECK SHOWS 15 BOAT Wethered. By the Associated Press. ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, May 31.— ~ | Bobby Jones today added the British amateur championship to his long string of major golf titles by defeating Roger Wethered in the 36-hole final, 7 and 6. Jones and Wethered fought a great battle through the first nine holes of the match, starting home for the first time all square, but in the second nine of the morning Bobby drew away and went to luncheon, ¢ up. ¥ Again a close battle developed in the first nine- holes. of the afternoon round, Wethered cutting away one of the American’s holes with a sensational putt for a birdie 3 at the twenty-fourth hole. The American open champion, how- ever, regained his morning lead and added another by winning the twenty- fifth and twenty-sixth, and halving the twenty-seventh, and started on the last lap 5 up. Held Title Since 1923. ‘The Georgian won the American open in 1923, r’:‘ a play-off with Bobby Cruickshanl d hes not been with- out a title since. He won the lwet‘l’: rge to win in 1927 and 1928, tying the record of Jerame D. Travers, who won the title four times. Last year he was elim- inated in the first round by Johnny Goodman. In 1926 and 1927 he won the British open, his winning score of 285 for the 72 holes at St. Andrews in 1927 making a new for the event. For the last two international team competitions, Jones has captained the American Walker Cup team. He has never lost single match in Waiker Cup play, winning five. He did not play in one. Jones foilowed his custom of play- ing against par while his opponent played Jones. He demonstrated again that “even 4s will win.” In the 30 holes of play he scored 22 4s, three of them birdies. He had five 3s, two pars and a birdie and ne required five strokes on only three holes, one a par and the other two a stroke over par. Big Crowd Present. After luncheon the finalists went out for the afternoon, accompanied by a greatly increased gallery. Long before time for the play to be resumed the narrow streets of St. Andrews were crowded with people making for the links. Many people remained at their vantage points around the first green throughout the recess, spreading their luncheons on the grass. Wethered had the honor and the drives were almost level with pitches left to the green. He was a little in- side, and his first putt laid Jones a dead stymie. Bobby tried to jump his op- ponent’s bail with a niblick, but failed (Continued on Page 3, Column 2.) KING GEORGE'TO ATTEND ORCHESTRAL CONCERT By the Associated Press.

SAILOR SLIGHTLY HURT BRINGING SHIP DOWN Return Flight to Germany Will HOOVER OUT EARLY 10 WHIP STREAMS President Greatly Refreshed After Long Ride and Strain of Gettyshurg Speech. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., May 31.—At- tired in old, rough clothes, rubber boots buckled high sbove the knee, and a slouch hat pulled well down in front, President Hoover today is fishing for trout in Larrys Creek, upon the pri- vate estate of Jay Cooke, 3rd, of Phila- delphia, which is located in a wild picturesque section abput 20 miles from here. Mr. Hoover rose earlier than his usual custom and almost immediately after breakfast he and his host and the others of the week end fishing party were out whipping the stream, “ThE President smiles as he headed for the fishing ground. ' He appeared greatly refreshed after the long, hard ride from Wash- ington, and the strain of making the oration . yesterday . afternoon at the Memorial day ceremonies in the Na- tional Cemetery on the Gettysburg bat- tlefleld.

Thero«mm'}lzm which ‘he stood as he delivered address, was only a short distance from the spot where Abraham Lincoln delivered his im- mortal Gettysburg address in Novem- ber, 1863, dedicating that national cemeiery, and Mr. Hoover seemed very conscious of this faet. More than 4,000 persons were as- sembled to see and hear the President. Amplifiers made it possible for those who were not close to the rostrum to catch every word. Besides that, a radio hook-up carried the ceremonies into many thousands of homes throughout the country.- The sun was shin: brightly throughout the services. The scene was a serene and colorful one when the President concluded he was ‘Fzrgd with a great outburst of ap- plause. Since then the President has received no end of praise for his remarks. Con- gratulatory messages were wired to the Cooke camp from far distant points. Mr. Hoover ' purposely avoided Cus- sion of the problems of Government or the issues of the day. There was no mistaking “ the ‘fact that he received his inspiration for his address from Lincoln’s address ‘and from the.char- acter and ideals of the martyred President. Asks Emulation of Lincoln, He seemed to invoke the spirit of Lincoln and asked his fellow country- men to emulate Lincoln’s patience, vision, humility and cou: in their strivings for a life filled with the joy of creative effort. While on the scene of that decisive battle of the Civil War, which is today & quiet sanctuary of heroic dead, he reminded the people of this nation that they will do well to follow the counsels of Lincoln and to ponder over his precious wealth of contributions to government and mankind.

J, May 31 ()— Rolling up from Rio to complete the next to last leg of its four-contineny flight, the German dirigible Graf Zep- pelin arrived at the Naval Air Station today under escort of the Navy dirigible Los Angeles, a commercial blimp, the Vigilant, and half a dozen planes. The great dirigible appeared out of the south at 6 a.m., Eastern standard time, like a gray ghost in the bright morning sunlight. Twenty minutes later it was over the field, its engines resounding in the hangar like a corps of giant drums, and five minutes after that it had settled on the ground near the mooring mast. After the Graf was settled in the hangar, the Los Angeles flew away to- ‘ward Washington and the Vigilant went to Red Bank, N. J, where it was se- cured to a portable mast. A large Navy plane arrived to take the Infante Alfonso, cousin of the King of Spain, who was one of the Graf's passengers, to Washington. Sailor Slightly Injured. As the Graf was being attached to the short mobile mast the tail lifted about 15 feet in the breeze and two members of the ground crew, who were holding on to the rear engine gondola, were carried up into the air.
