comes into the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 20, 1930—PART FIVE. Jones’ Power to Recover Makes Him Great : 216 Ready for Western Tournament SPIRIT AND NERVES DECIDING FACTORS This, Combined With Me- _chanical and Mental Assets, Win Him Crown. HAT is it that makes Bobby Jones so great? Why does he stahd out | above the other great golfers of the world, amateur and | professional, who appear to be Elnyms the shots just as well as e does, but do not score so well! over a 72-hole distance? Is it his utting, his accurate driving, his ron play, or his consistency in knocking them straight and far? A combination of all of these, says Fred McLeod, the keen, acute little master technician of Columbia, who won the open champlonship back in the days when Bobby was thinking more of blocks and toy cannons than he was of fading an iron shot into a side wind, and the best part of his game, McLeod adds, is his ability to turn a bad shot or a bad break into a par or a birdie by recoveries that seem uncanny. Bob Barnett, the astute little mentor at the Chevy Chase Club, who has gathered a number of lesser titles and today is the match-play champion of this sector of the bunkered land, thinks Jones wins because he is the perfect stylist, and that his club on every shot 1s moving in the same plane as it ‘comes into the ball and goes past it. Both ere right in every possible way, but that doesn't explain the whole "thing. Neither on the mechanical side nor on the mental side is Bob Jones a greater competitor than a dozen others—ama- teur and professional. Has Fine Spirit. The real crux of the matter to our way of thinking, after having watched Jones play golf for considerably more than a decade, having watched him through the ‘“seven lean years” from 1916 to 1923, is that Bob has all the shots the others have, has a fine com- titive spirit, can bring his game and g:l nerve (mark that last) to fighting itch in the pinch, and is out there itting that 1 farther and better than most of them all of the time. ‘Bob Jones employs the man crushing method of knocking the ball a little further and a little straighter than the other fellow, gets his iron shots a little closer to the pin and putts a shade better than the best of them. “But it's around the green that he tears their hearts out,” we hear Freddie McLeod say. And true it is. We've watched Jones g:y many rounds of what he called “bad golf,” and it was bad golf for him. He strayed into bunkers, he visited the rough, he got into all sorts of trouble, and at the end what was his score? Just a medi- ocre 71 or 72. How did he do it? He did it by recovering from the most astonishing places, .making the most amazingly perfect shots when he could have been pardoned for a bad one, and by consistently chipping and putting as Jones, Hagen and Horton Smith alone can do. That 68 out at Minne- apolis was a marvelous piece of work, but that was Jones at his best, and when he is llm);h t,;'m tthemml‘:nm‘ta : ore uninteresting golfer to waf %ll same Bobby Jones. We watched him slaughter Foot llng-!urw. where he shot a 69 to crush the Chicagoan so completely that Al hasn’t recovered yet. Pulls Out of Trouble. To the technician, to the man who delights in that wonderful thythm of ‘body, wrist and shoulders which co- ordinate perfectly in the Jones swing to create the ideal in golf form, that round must have been a marvelous per- formance, but tg us it wlek mc:; |:‘ l':l; teresting. The Jones we like % watched many times—is sgain with some wonderful that golfing genius that Jones alone ble to produce when he needs it. Jones gets in trouble as much as the lother leaders, particularly if he is tired is hooking his long shots. But hers sometimes miss a_shot from the rough or the sand, Jones makes just as good shots from these hazards as he does from & smooth lie on the fairway, and when he gets in trouble around the green watch him low that ball out, and sink the putt. ow he can do that little thing, and ow well, and h:w ogmn.-’ rnett's slant on Jon o is_something not m:.ng peo- le think about. And we hold with gfl'neu that when Bobby Jones' club ball and hits through it | that clubface is moving on as straight & plane as & club can possibly move and still not break a wrist or two. Bob- by alone seems to have mastered the Xnack of keeping that club moving &s it would move if the arms were at- tached to the shoulders with rubber gnd not bone and muscle. On the other side of the picture— the mental side—Bobby has been Xnown to have bad holes in champion- ships. He had a 79 in the second round at Columbus in 1926, which was his worst, single round in any open cham- ionship since 1020, but he won the tle just the same. He put the pres- sure on by & great third round and kept it on with as great a fourth round. Two-ninety-one was his winninj total, with a 79 in it. Figure out what his @verage was for the other three rounds. Jones has that ability to conquer his sizzling, frying nerves in the crucial spot that the others seem to lack. And he has nerves—plenty of them. But ell you will ever see will be teeth clinched on & lower lip as he fights to keep himself in control. Bobby is the yaster competitor of the age. ‘They imake only one in a generation. Harry Vardon had it back in the mauve days. Jones has it now. And as long as he ¥he continues to play in the open cham- onship, and win, he will be the same Ri7ard he 1s today. And rumor has it, by the way, that the Interlachen affair may be his last open for some time Don't be surprised if Bobby sticks to | Jaw next Summer. | RESULTS IN MINORS. 1] INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. 115 .\:on.u;u. 0. 1.

FARRELL,MACFARLANE TIE WITH 280 CARDS By the Associated Press. ELMSFORD, N. Y, July 19.—Two former national open champlons, Johnny Farrell and Willie MacFarlane, were deadlocked at 280 at the end of play in the 72-hole metropolitan open golf champlonship today. The tle will be played off tomorrow at the Fairview Country Club. Farrell, starting the final day with a 36-hole total of 143 added a 70 on his third round and then topped off a steady performance with & brilliant 67 on the final 18. MacFarlane started the day a stroke back of Farrell, but scored 69 and 67 in the last two rounds to tie the Mamaroneck star. Farrell held the open title in 1928 and Mac- Farlane in 1925. A stroke back of the leaders finished Horton Smith, representing the Cru’s- ton, N. Y, club. Smith, with 141 for his first 36 holes, turned in a pair of 70's today, but could not match the sensational shot-making of Farrell and MacFarlane. Gene Sarazen, finishing in a tie with Wiffy Cox for fourth place at 282, broke the ‘competitive record for the short Fairview course with a 66 on his last round.

Harris later got his hit—a triple—and dented the final base after Myer put up a sacrifice. ‘The seventh and eighth were Indian- scoring innings. Montague got his homer in the first of these, and Mor- gan’s single, backed by Hodapp's dou- ble, produced the tally in the eighth. Then the Nationals kicked up again in the ninth to cluster four hits and & sacrifice for three runs. Myer, Hayes, West and Loepp did the hitting, while Ruel lofted the sacrifice. NOTED OF NATIONALS CLEVELAND, July 19.—Carl Fischer, making his debut as a Griffiman, fanned three in a row, after hitting Burnett, in the second inning. Sprinz waved, Goldman was retired with three pitches to end the second round, and Ferrell fanned at the outset of the ithird. Cronin made a flashy stop of Ho- dapp’s grounder in the fifth when the bases were crowded by Tribesmen with none out, but had to throw while off balance and only Morgan going into second was retired. Had the ball gone by Joe, however, the bases probably would have been cleared. Manush crashed the line-up for the first_time since July 9 when batted for Fischer in the seventh. Although he had to hobble to first after forcing out Spencer, Helnle managed to get there ahead of Goldman's wide chuck to Morgan, ‘When a pitch got away from Spencer in the eighth, Joe Sewell tried to get home from third, but Hadley was on the job to take a throw from his catcher, and the runner was snared a yard from the counting block. ‘That some of the boys might not have to brave the intense heat through two games, Manager Johnson changed his line-up for the second encounter. He sent Judge to first, Myer to second and Ruel behind the bat, withdrawing Shires, Hayes and Saencer. Hayes, though, was sent in to relieve Bluege at third in the sixth session. Myer kicked Jamieson's under at the start of the Indian first, but came right back in the second session to get under Averill's looper to short right in good order. It was not an easy nce, but Buddy made it appear such. Old Man Rice got some relief from the sweltering weather. After the Na- tionals got their big lead, Loepp went to right and played through six in. nings. Cronin also was relieved, Mc- ;.eod going to short field in the fifth rame. Harris made a fancy catch of Brown's line drive in the fifth, lugging to the left for his one-hand grab. The liner was deep enough to allow Myatt count after the catch. In the sixth Loepp backed against the right-field wall and leaped high to get Joe Sewell's drive with one hand. More than 16,000 took in the double- header, a good crowd for a sultry day and with rain threatening. * cf Mertinsburg, W.

McCALLUM. o ARYLAND COUNTRY CLUB, BALTIMORE, Md., July 19.—Scoring his first major tournament win two days after he had celebrated his nineteenth birthday, J. Monro Hunter, jr., the fine playing son of the professional at the Indian Spring Golf Club of Washington, today outsteadied Billy Howell of Richmond to win the first flight in the invitation golf tournament of the Maryland Country Club. Victor over the Maryland State titleholder in the second round eran Albert R. MacKenzie in the semi-final round today, Hunter in the final which had carried him there, and outsteadied the brilliant young holder of the Mid- dle Atlantic championship to win by 4 and 2. Hunter had conquered & hook from the tee which had bothered him on the first two rounds of the tourney and in the final was driving far and straight. Howell, on the other hand, played golf that was mediocre by comparison with The Richmond youngster, three tee shots out of bounds, although only one of them cost him the hole and his short game. which is usually the best part of his golf, let him down badly in spots where he needed to tighten up. On two of the three occasions he was out of bounds, he holed a birdie with his sec- ond ball and secured a half in par, Finishes With 73. The final between two fine young- sters, both capable of sustained flights of golf brilliancy, found a Hunter whose usually infrequent mistakes were even fewer than usual. Even thm&t: he went one over.par on both eighth and ninth holes, he was out in 36, and finished the round with a card of 73. Had Howell been at the crest of his game he might not have beaten this score over the burned-out course of the club, where tee shots frequently traveled as much as 300 yards. Hunter staged & game uphill fight to win from MacKenzie in the semi-final, for the Indian Spring lad was 4 down at the turn. He then proceeded to win five holes in a row, and then came to the eighteenth all square. Here Mac- Kenzie fluffed his approach shot and Hunter was on the green in 2 and down in 2 putts to win with a par 4. Harry G. Pitt, long-driving star of the Manor Club, whom many had fa- vored to win the tourney, went to the nineteenth hole with Billy Howell in the other semi-final to push his tee shot out of bounds and lose the match through this misplay. In the final round, Hunter broke into an early lead, winning the second and fourth holes, when Hunter found traps. At the fifth, Howell duplicated stunt of the first hole, driving his first tee shot out of bounds and securing an actual birdie with his second ball to halve the hole in par. Hunter won the sixth to go 3 up when Howell missed a 5-foot putt. They halved the next three, and Howell secured & bird 4 on the lengthy tenth to win. But Hunter came right back to win the eleventh, and they halved the dog-leg twelth in par 4s. Howell drove out of bounds again at the short thirteenth, and lost the hole, to become 4 down with 5 to go. The Richmond youngster got back a hole at the fourteenth by holing & 20- foot putt for a birdie 3.” Both missed holeable putts for 3s at the .fifteenth, ;llh!l;; Hnwellmdnwe’ 300 yards and unter was only a few yards behind him, and they halved in d Howell Overplays Green.

McCALLUM OWN at the Annapolis Roads Club, where many Washing- tonians are going these days to play a bit of golf on a lay- out that has the earmarks of a seaside course, plans are in the making for the invitation tourney, to be held some time in the Fall for the Denby trophy, pre- sented to the club last year by the dis- tinguished sportsman, Col. Charles Denby. The course is in excellent condition, with those fine bent greens shape, and the fairways coming along fairly well, considering the lengthy drought which this sector of the coun- try has undergone. ‘Two days ago Tommy Webb of Wash- ington played the course in 75, which, as any man who knows the Annapolis layout will agree, is considerable golf. The same day. D. C. Gruver, also of Washington, reached the fifth green, 565 yards from the tee, in two crash- ing wooden club shots. When he got to the green, however, he had quite a blem, for the was behind the which divides tie green into two halves, and he had to chip over the bunker. Preparations are in the out at Beaver Dam for & big tion to three woman golfers of the club who have done well in tournaments this year. The women to be honorad at a party Tuesday evening at the Beaver house are Mrs. Betty P. Meckley, winner of the District cham- pionship; Mrs. Alma Von Steinner, win- ner of the Phyllis Keeler Miller Me- morial trophy, and Mrs. Burton Ship- ley. Howghgym in, we do not know, but the also says that ' twice this the party will include as Jue-u sev- eral “Washington sport writers. But then, those hospitable gents at Beaver Dam always are by way of doing the right thing. ‘What has become of the scores made in the Tom Moote trophy competition at Bannockburn? Although two rounds have been played, no scores have been posted in the 72-hole medal-play event, which started July 5 and will run through most of the month. Tony Syl- vester, the club pro, says the scores are a deep, dark secret. A four-way tie for low score in the mixed Scotch foursome last Sunday at Woodmont is to be played off today. Those who tied last Sunday were Mrs. T. D. Peyser and Max Weyl, Mrs. Jack Shulman and Willlam G. Ilich, Mrs. Jerome Meyer and Marx Kaufman, and Bertha Israel and Simon Nye. All had net cards of 77. In recognition of his services in the development of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Country Club, the board of governors has presented to Ma). R. D. Newman a life membership. Ma). Newman is the man who constructed the golf course and has been a major factor in the development of the club. Ralph 8. Fowler of Washington is hitting the golf ball a long way these days. Although Fowler is compara- tively light as big hitters go, is knocking that ball so far as o make most of the holes on the Washington course nothing more than a drive and pitch. Not long ago, in a raffle, he won a matched set of iron clubs and with these Fowler is playing better golf than ever.

Grifts Look for Tough Time In Four-Game St. Louis Visit LEVELAND, July 19.—Down to the City of Pests agaim, and the Nationals are looking for a tough time. That St. Louis is referred to as the City of Pests must not be regarded by the inhabitants of the metropolis of the Mississippi Velley as an affront. ‘They are wonderful people, but their erican League ball club is just & ::Inn in the neck to all members of the Washington club. The Browns, despite their lowly standing, are the oniy folks to hold an edge over the Nationals for the season. ‘They have licked the Na- tionals 6 times in 11 starts and made the Johnson band like it. In their first two series with the Na- tionals the Browns triumphed. They grabbed two of three games layed in Washington in May, and tl Griffs ended " their first invasion of the West this year by dropping three of four games contested. It was different in ‘Washin not so long ago, however: Then the Browns, opping the first, game, were licked in the next three of the set. But in taking their beatings the Browns managed to make the Na- tionals work desperately... This time the Griffs are going into St. Louis for a series of four games. Johnson’s charges are not quite as spry, perhaps, as they were when last they faced the St. Louis aggregation, still they probably are in much better trim than the St. Louis outfit. The Browns have been in the depths recently. They have not hit, and their pitching has been spotty. Only Friday did they come out of & losing streak that h run to seven games. e 1t seems though, that no matter how poorly the Browns have played against other clubs, they manage to show plenty of and flash when they encounter the Nationals. Washington anticipates no easy time an's Park in the series starting Sunday. - FOR the initial clash with the Browns Manager Johnson plans to send to the pitching hill General Alvin Crowder, who since transferring from the St. Louis to the Washington club little more than & month &go, turned in six victorles in eight starts and gone the route each time. Orowder took his first licking as a Griffman after the transfer, from the Browns, but he pitched well then and was beaten in the ninth by an outfield error. The General is in fine fettle and this ¢ time has a great chance to turn the tables, Besides the Browns, though, he must contend with that St. Louls Jinx. FEW in big league base ball can adorn the bench day after day then step into action at a momen'ts notice and J).lly & whale of a game. “The Na- tionals are fortunate in possessing one of these few. e is Jack Hayes, utility infielder. Prevented his light hit- ting from being a , the Univer- sity of Alabama ct, nevertheless, is a mighty valuable member of the ‘Washington club. When Buddy Myer slumped afleld and at bat after toll- ing strenuously since the start of the campaign, Manager Walter Johnson did not hesitate to call upon Hayes to fill the bill at second base, and Hayes re- sponded nobly. He's a great fellow, this Hayes, great s a flelder, great as an inspiration to his teammates and great.in disposit Never ruffied, Jack is on his game the time and though by no means a stalwart hitter, he often delivers a timely blow. A wonderful player to have around. » Hayes has filled in in the infield from one flank to the other. When he first came up to the Nationals he was employed at shortstop. Later he moved to second base. He covered third last season, when injury put Ossie Bluege out of commission, and this year he put up & pretty me rst base when Joe Judge sprung a charley- horse. Now he is at second again. And the Washington inner defense certainly is no weaker because he has temporar> ily supplanted Myer. - ANAGER JOHNSON has about de- cided not to relieve Sam Rice, that the veteran outfielder might get a brief rest. Sam has picked up in his outfield piay the past two days to such an extent the pllot belleves the tem- porary lay-off unnecessary. For a time Rice was covering little territory in the right pasture.

Heinie himself is certain he will be ready. The swelling in the upper left leg that came from infection due to a shin abra- sion_and laid Heinie low has gone and the ‘soreness has left the limb. 1In fact, the leg is about normal once more, only a slight stiffness remaining, and Manush can jog a bit. Up until the first of this week he even walked halt- ingly. Another day or 8o of exercising and Manush ought to be able to move tairly well. Trainer Martin declares Heinie could have been used in the early ,nnmu of the Cleveland series, but those in charge of the Nationals did not want to rush him back to the game. The club felt his loss keenly in the 13 games he missed, but a recurrence of the injury that might follow a too early return to play probably would have meant his loss to the club for a month, and such a misfortune would have about wrecked the Nationals’ pen- nant chances. « HAT to do with Jake Powell, now that the New Haven club has dis- banded, has President Clark Grif- fith guessing. Of course, the Washing- ton club has to keep up the salary of the young outflelder it farmed to the Eastern League outfit whether he plays or idles. Manager Johnson does not regard Powell as %enshed enough for service with the Nationals now, and does not seem particularly eager to use him. Nor has President Griffith any glu:eu-t present where he may farm owel in, However, the Nationals have but 24 active players on their roster, one below ad | the limit, and those in charge of the club may find something for Powell to do for a time. In the meantime Grif- fith has ordered the young fellow to re- turn to Washington and await orders, ’ASHINGTON'S week in base ball— Tigers chase Jones, then beat Burke in Sunday game in Detroit . .

Moe, apparently far off the great game he displayed in the Walker Cup matches and during the 1929 cham- | pionship, ranked anything but a fae | vorite to repeat in the long week’s grind.
