H[]R]' MAIBH "NX ?Bobby Jones, Af-t—er His Fourth Golf Title, Returns to Course S Where Fourteen Years Ago He Burst Into National Fame! | | | | ONLY THING FEARED Say National Amateur Willj Be Romp if Bobby Gets by 18-Hole Tests. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. HE main question of the drama which opens tomor- row over the rugged con- tours of the famed east eourse of the Merion Cricket Club at Haverford, Pa. near Philadel- phia, is, “Will Bobby win again?” Everything in golf seems hushed and waiting for the answer as the finest amateur golfers of America take their final practice gallops over the lengthy layout before they face the barrier tomorrow which will tell whether they will be among those who will be paired Tuesday for the match play rounds. No man doubts that Bob Jones will be among those who will come up for match play Wednesday morning. He never has failed to qualify in the ama- teur championship. But will he be among the starters Thursday morning after the 18-hole match play rounds have been completed and the way has | been cleared, for the glants of the ama- teur game to joust with each other over the 36-hole route? Fred McLeod, the sagacious little pro at the Columbia Country Club, a great friend and admirer of Bobby and one of the finest students of the game, be- lieves that if the peerless one gets past those twin 18-hole rounds on Wednes- | day he will come home to win the championship in & romp. And Freddy belleves that Bobby finally has con- quered the bogey of those 18-hole rounds and i& not apt to be knocked off on Wednesday. In other words, Freddie believes with most. of the pros that the amateur championship is just & set-up for Bobby. But then the pros ought to feel that way. He has convinced even these hard-fighting gents that the open championship is in much the same cate- gory where he is concerned. Champion Overlooked. Not much_attention is being paid to Harrison Johnston—the reigning title holder—this year, which is quite an un- usual phenomenon in this uncertain e. Usually the champion comes in | for his share of attention, but the feel- ing in many quarters is that the pop- ular “Jimmy” is just by way of being an ad interim champion until the time | comes for Bobby to knock him off. Ap- pendicitis or no_appendicitis, ice bags or no ice bags, the Emperor will be the single outstanding choice to win the championship over Merion's classic reaches, Here it was that he first broke into big-time golf, back in 1916, and | here it was in 1934 that the first won | the amateur championship. Likewise, here it is that Bobby comes to make his final stand in his biggest | year—the year that has seen him win | three of the four major championships of the world; awaiting only a victory in the tourney which starts tomorrow | to set a record which probably never will be equaled. For amateurs alone can win all the four titles, and no ama- ' teur yet has poked a nose above the horizon which can be said to be the equal of that par-seeking nose of the one and only Jones. | “Will Bobby win?" | Philadelphia and all the balance of | the bunker-bound land asks itself that | question as Bobby goes quietly about the task of fitting himself for his final stand of 1930, and the rest of the field | await their chance at the champion. Has Desirable Spot. The draw will favor Bobby again, for Te is placed at No. 1 on the seeded list, | which means that he will not be likely to meet one of his strongest competi- | tors in the first two rounds. But that does not mean a great deal, as Johnny Goodman demonstrated at Pebble Beach last year. Wasn't it Walter Hagen who remarked that any kid from the crossroads of America is quite likely o upset the champion at any time? Last vear it was Goodman. This year it may be some other unknown. But if Bob gets past those 18-hole rounds (and he certainly is as good as any man over any distance), he will romp in. Tommy Armour claims the way he puniches them in the 36-hole distance is brutal. “They haven't a chance.” Tommy says. “He is just so #00d, 50 overwhelmingly good, that they haven't a chance. If he gets past thoce 18-hole rounds, he is in.” And wouldn’t that make the boys who took the short end of those 200-to-1 bets against his winning all four titles feel bad, If all | the reports of those big odds are true. and Bobby does come home to win the champlonship, lots of betters on the long end are going to be sore and sorry Most of the sporting classics of the year are over. The world series alone Tremains among the Summer games Foot. ball comes on apace, but the main question of the current week is whether or not Bobby will win again. There are not many people pulling against him, for America loves a winner, and to see Bobby make it a grand slam this year would be most popular with the bulk of America’s sporting populace. Here's hoping he does it PRIMED FOR TECH HIGH Handley Will Be Second Foe in Two Days for D. C. Eleven.

When Jones first played it, it was, as he said later, “weak in the middle.” The tenth required only a drive and a short, blind pitch, the eleventh was of a length that could occasionally be driven, and the thirteenth finished at an unreasonable length from the fourteenth tee, ‘These holes have been remodeled, and now are considered among the best on the course.

First Ten Listed. BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2d. EW YORK, September 20.— The tennis season of 1930 has practically closed, and from now until the 1931 annual meeting the air will be full of rumors of this and plans for that, chief among the dis- cussions being the ranking list | for 1930. I do not envy the men whose duty it is to list the American players on thelr records of this year. There are two methods of ranking. One is to look only on the American season. That works a great hardship on the men who gave up their time to go to Europe and play Davis Cup matches for their country. The other method is to give weight to the records all over the world. This seems fairer, yet it certainly com- plicates the task. Ranks Doeg No. 1. Personally, I will attempt to give my ideas, based (1) on the American season, with particular emphasis on Newport and the national singles, since these two events were the only ones in which the Davis Cup team had found their real form in America. (2) The Euroe pean season. (3) Knowledge of condl~ tions governing the records. My list would be as follows: 1. John Doeg, the national cham- plon, . W. T. Tilden, 2d. 3. Wilmer Allison. . Frank X. Shields. . Sidney B. Wood. 6. Clifford Sutter. Gregory Mangin. . Francis T. Hunter, . John Van Ryn. 10. George M. Lott Alternates—Ellsworth Vines and R. M, Williams. This list does not satisfy me. T can juggle it around and justify other aligne ments almost as well as the one I offer, but I have finally decided on this. The only excuse for Doeg at one i8 the fact he won the American cham- plonship. I have always believed the champion should be “one,” or the title is an empty one. Therefore I give Doeg the fiist place. I place Allison and myself ahead of Frank Shields, the runner-up in the singles, by virtue of our play abroad. I go at two because of my Wimbledon victory, my win at Newport and my long of success all over Europe, which offset my loss to Shields two days after landing, and my defeat by Sutter when handicapped by an injured leg at Rye, Shields' Record Spotty. Wilmer Allison as runner-up at Wim- bledon, where he beat Cochet, runners and Newport, just noses out I'rank Shields for “3.” Shieids <ts “4” by his great record in the sin- gles championship. His season’s record 15 very spotty ana full of very bad de- feats.” One cannot really place him higher on his record. Sidney Wood, by virtue of his vie- tories at Seabright and Southampton, his fine record at Newport, Nassau and | Longwood, culminating in reaching the semi-finals of the national singles, is solid choice for “5” and might have claim to a better place. I can give CIiff Sutter “6” on his win available. | They are Stanley Dreifus, Ed Walker, | Saturday and Sunday for the club title flight and for the 12-17 class and the Birney Cup. The first round of match play in the Washington championship is billed for September 30. The second round is listed for October 2, with the semi-final and final rounds scheduled to be played October 4 and 5. The final will be at 36 holes, The struggle for the Washington club champlonship shapes up this year as & particularly _interesting one. Last year Henry D. Nicholson and Frank K. Roesch, the District champ, battled (o the thirty-seventh hole before Roesch, then the champion, missed @ short putt, which gave the title to Nicholson. These two appear to be the outstanding players of the club, but meanwhile Tommy Webb has won the junior title and Eddie Rice and J. G. Drain have | been coming along in first-class sbape and are all set to put up a stiff struggle for the title. It is problematical, how- ever, whether Drain or C. D. Evans will | be able to play, for Drain attends Chi- cago University and Evans attends the University of Virginia. Over at Indian Spring, Herbert L. Lacey, who holds the Manor Club title, i in the middie of the fight for the | Indian Spring championship, along with Byrn Curtiss, Roy Sasscer and George Gist. Dr. L. S. Otell and J. M. Hunter, jr. two of the leading golfers of the club, are not playing in the champion- ship. At Manor Harry G. Pitt, out- standing goifer of the Norbeck Insti- tution, who was beaten in the title chase lasi year by Ray Farrell, is not a competitor in the club title event, and it seems that Lacey may make & cessful bid again. The Argyle championship has gath- ered together a bunch of doughty club wielders, with Bill Di Este, “Mel" Ship- ley, John Lynch, Joe Cox and Tom Pitt all in the first flight. Columbia | and Congressional will hold their cham- plonships in October. Out at the Woodmont Country Club Fr the semi-final and final rounds in the handicap tourney are scheduled for to- day, with Willlam G. Ilich, chairman of the golf committee, scheduled to meet Mort Wilner in one bracket and Howard | Nordlinger paired against Stanley Fischer in the other bracket. Late Sep- tember and early October should be i teresting locally as the golfers mos down toward the finals in their tilts ceds for club titles, Three local clubs today are enter- taining teams from Baltimore clubs in | the current series for the Maryland State team championship.
