First of these matches, scheduled for this afternoon, is the inter-city team match, between teams of 12 golfers rep- | resenting the two clubs. Second is the iro(;donnl exhibition match between . B. Thorn of Woodmont and Allan Brodie of Lakeside, and third, but far the two organizations, which may not produce the best golf, _?u always is productive of the largest umber of laughs. Joseph D. Kaufman, president of the ‘Woodmont Club, admits that when he breaks 100 for an 18-hole round of any golf course, it is an event with him. So does Hen& Gunst, president of the Lakeside b, and the two start out, equipped with ice to cool heated brows, eerried rows of niblicks to replace worn ones and & spare set of golf clubs, in case anything happens to the original set. An elaborate pre m of entertain- ment has been furnished by the Lake- side Club for the visiting firemen and their lassles from Woodmont, which started this afternoon and was not to| conclude until sundown tomorrow.

In the tournament at Columbia Coun- | try Club, Chevy Chase, Md, a final round of 77 spelled Bobby’s doom, for he | was in the running with 78, 71, 77 for | the first three rounds. His total of 303 | tied him for fifth place, four strokes be- | hind the winner, Jim Barnes. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. Qualifying with 151 at the St. Louis Country Club, Jones triumphed over Clarence Wolff and Dr. O. F. Willing, but lost to Willle Hunter, 3 and 1, in FF THE TEE | golf shop at Chevy Chase, cleaning golf | clubs and doing other odd jobs about the shop. Late in the evening and| | when the course was not much in use | Bob took Danny out and taught him | how to make golf shots correctly. Last year Danny went up to Philadelphia to play in the Philadelphia open and later went to Winged t to watch the great Jones and the other stars. All the while Danny’s game has been com- mfy along in good shape and occasion- ally he breaks 80. Not so bad for & 16- year-old lad. Yesterday he played a round with Mrs. Harrison Brand, jr., and did so well that he shot a 75, one of his best marks and a score that might easily have been two or three strokes better, Here is Danny's card for the course: Out—Par..4 4 4 3 4 4 4 Burton....5 4 5 3 4 5 4 5 4—39 In—Par...3 4 4 3 444443469 Burton....3 4 5 4 3 4 5 4 4—36—75 pAOE HUFTY, former Congressional champlon, and Parker Nolan, the Congressional seige gun, were to play off today or tomorrow their halved match in the Spring handicap tourney now under way at Congressional. Hufty and Nolan play golf together a great deal and in the tourney match Hufty conceded Nolan a stroke. Nolan came to the eighteenth 1 up on Hufty, but the seige gun put his ball in the left trap near the green and blasted around until he lost the hole. Now they must play another match to settle the ques- tion of supremacy. Luther Steward, who drew a bye in the first round, is well on his way to the finals by scoring third and fourth round victories over Willlam W. Jones, ir., by & 2 and 1 margin, and over Jack McCarron by the same margin, In the first round F. T. Mitchell downed John Prout Gilmore by 3 and 2, while L. J. Goode defeated Chester Bennett by default. Most of the first-round matches are to be played tomorrow. Among the contestants in the tourney Commissioner Sidney F. Taliaferro.

A youthful ex-caddie named Gene| Sarazen flashed a 68 on the final 18 “i Skokie, leaving Jones one stroke behind | at the finish in a tie with John Black, | the winning score being 288. Bobby shot | & superb 73 on the last stretch, but it | was not sufficient to match Sarazen's | inspired flash. This was his closest bid | for the open crown to date. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. Once again the quarter-finals proved Bobby's nemesis in the amateur at Brookline, the Atlantan bowing to Jess Sweetser, 4 and 3. It was Sweetser's year, Big Jess of Siwanoy going on to| defeat Chick Evans for the title, WALKER CUP. This was the first year of the in- ternational matches between the United | States and England, the play being over the National Golf Links at Southamp- ton. Jones won in the singles from Roger Wethered, 3 and 2, and paired with Sweetser 1n the foursomes to defeat Hooman and Torrance, 3 and 2. The United States won, 8 to 4. 1923. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. At Flossmoor Bobby qualified with 149, tying for the medal with Chick Evans. He defeated T. B. Cochran and | then encountered an inspired Max Marston in the second round. In this| match Marston played only one hole all day above par. On the thirty-fifth green he had a 12-foot putt to halve the hole and win the match. The putt was true all the way and Bobby suc- cumbed by 2 and 1. Marston won the UNITED STATES OPEN. ‘The_“seven-year drouth” for Robert Tyre Jones, jr., ended at Inwood Coun- try Club, Inwood, L. I, on July 15. Since 1916 he had been shooting at golf’s chief prizes, only to miss. At Inwood he turned in scores of 71, 73 and 76 and began the fourth round three strokes ahead of Bobby Cruickshank. His 76 on the last 18 while Cruickshank was | taking 72 resulted in a tie at 296. In the play-off Jones won with 76 to 78. Bobby's finish was an epic in golf, his spectacular midiron shot to the green from the rough landing 7 feet from the cup and giving him a 4, while Cruick- shank took 6. Thus Bobby, at 21, won his first national title, 1924, UNITED STATES OPEN. At Oakland Hills Jones ran second with 300, three strokes behind Cyril Walker. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. ‘The first amateur title for Jones came | to him at the Merion Cricket Club. After turning back in succession W. J. Thompson, D. Clarke Corkran, Rudy Knepper and Francis Ouimet, he over- ‘;hah:l‘eld George Von Elm in the final, and 8. ‘WALKER CUP. Jones won his singles match in the international amateur series at Gar- den City, defeating Maj. C. O. Hezlet, 4 | and 3, but in the foursomes he and W. | C. Fownes ,jr., met defeat at the hands of Michael Harris and Robert Scott, 1! up. The United States won, 9—3. 1925, UNITED STATES OPEN, Once again play-off was necessary to | decide this event, with Bobby and Willie Macfarlane of Oak Ridge the actors in | the drama at Worcester, Mass. Each | had finished the regulation four rounds with 291. Jones had overcome a four- stroke deficit on the last round to catch Macfarlane. In the play-off Macfarlane turned in & 72 to Bobby's 73 to win the championship. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. ‘Thwarted in the open, Bobby did bet- | ter two months later in the amateur at Oskmont. He swept aside William | Reekie, Clarence Wolff and George Von | Elm in order, then crushed Watts Gunn | in the final, 8 and 7. 1926. BRITISH AMATEUR. At Muirfleld Jones defeated ©. B. Ormerod, Colin C. Aylmer, H. M. Dick- | son, J. Birnie, jr, and Robert Harris, but lost to Andrew Jamieson in the sixth round, 4 and 3. Here it was that Jess Sweetser rose to heroic heights, | defeating Alex Simpson for the title, the first native-born American to cap- ture the British amateur. BRITISH OPEN. Qualifying with the astounding scores of 66, 68 at Sunningdale—still a target for all who play that course—Bobby went on to St. Anne's and became the first American amateur to win the open title, with a 72-hole aggregate of 291. It was also his first championship won on British soil. Jones had come from behind to slip in ahead of Al Watrous by two strokes. WALKER CUP, In the international matches at St.| Andrews, won by the United States, 615 | 0 5%, Bobby triumphed in the singles | over Cyril Tolley, 12 and 11, and won | in the foursomes with Watts Gunn, de- | feating Tolley and Jamieson, 4 and 3. Record of Bobby Jones in Outstanding British Golfing Competitions Since 1916 1929. UNITED STATES OPEN. Sinking his famous 12-foot putt on the eighteenth green at Winged Foot for a final round of 79, which enabled him to tie Al Espinosa with an aggre- gate of 294, Bobby proceeded to crush the Chicago pro in the play-off with a typical display of par-wrecking golf scoring 141 for the 36 holes against Espinosa's 164. This marked Bobby's third national open title. UNITED STATES AMATEUR. Jones' defeat at the hands of Johnny Goodman, unheralded Omaha young- ster, in the first round at Pebble Beacn is still fresh in the memories of golf fans. Bobby had tied with Gene Ho- mans for the medal. Goodman took a three-hole lead at the start and never relinquished his hold, winning by 1 up on the eighteenth. The Omaha boy was eliminated in the next round by J. Lawson Lm.le.llo and 1. WALKER CUP. In the international matches at Sandwich, won by the United States, 11 to 1, Jones paired with Dr. Willing to defeat Torrence and Hartley in the foursomes, 8 and 7, and defeated Roger Wethered in the singles, 9 and 8. BRITISH AMATEUR. This tournament was Bobby's main objective. It was the only major cham- pionship he had never held. He had a stiff fight in the first 1ound at St. An- drews when Sidney Roper shot 15 4s and a 5 at him, but Bobby played super-golf to get a 3 and 2 victory. Bobby had it easier against Cowan Shankland, but Cyril Tolley carried him to the nine- teenth hole before he was able to put the British champion out. G. O. Watt gave Bobby a breathing spell in the fifth round, but Harrison R. Johnston, United =States amateur champion, pressed him hard before he was able to win, 1 up. Eric Fiddian was next to fall before the Atlanta genius, and then George Voigt, who also carried Bobby to the last green. Jones’ ambition was rea ized when he overwhelmed Roger Wet! TOURNEY PLANNED FOR EVERY TOWN Game Held in High Respect, With Championship Rules and Equipment. | | EESBURG, Va., June 21— | Once more the hills of Lou- doun County resound with | the clank of horseshoes, as | scores of pitchers sharpen their | skill for the second annual Metro- | politan District Tournament, spon- [sored by The Washington Star, {to open July 16. | Indications are that Loudoun County will be far more strongly represented in the tournament than last year. Every town and sizable community in the county will have a championship event with the winners and runners-up to carry on into a finale at Leesburg for the county crown. Cooksey Succeeds Atwell. Lawrence Cooksey, who managed the county finals last year, will be chair- man for Leesburg this time in place of Roland Atwell, who is making his home in another town. OCooksey will be assisted by Will Norris. Leesburg | will have a long list of contestants, | many participating who were merely on-lookers a year ago. | Purcellville’s chairman, S. P.

Jones became both British amateur and open champion yesterday when he led the field at Hoylake with a score of 201. It was his eleventh tle. | W. R. Pennington, Washington izer and pitcher, again will have charge of the tournament at Round Hill and this town is asured of a bang-up event. George Thomas, veteran tosser, will be chairman for Hamilton, where the pitchers are working out daily, with a fine prospect of producing the county champion. John Bodmer, himself a star performer, will handle the affair at Ashburn, Game Wins Respect. In the short space of a year horse- shoe pitching has grown to be a major sport in this county. The game, as played under championship regulations and with standardized equipment, was introduced here last Summer by The Washington Star. At first it was regarded somewhat humorously, but thé pitchers soon learned that to play the game well called for a high standard of athletic | |abllity. ~ Their attitude toward it | changed accordingly, and one no longer hears the belittling wisecracks that once followed the mention of horseshoe pitching. Heft Is an Asset, An hour of steady horseshoe pitching is calculated to take all the humor ou of the average mortal. No little exertion is necessary to throw 2! pounds the regulation distance of 40 feet, and in a long match the abllity to stand the gaft physically not infrequently determines the victor. Loudoun County pitchers are look- ing forward to competition with other counties in Virginia, where the game also is on the boos The Northern Virginia finals, held at Culpeper last year, were well attended. Maurice Cooper of Leesburg, Loudoun County champlon, is all set, eager, in fact, to defend his title.
