As his friend, S. C. Watkins, says, Bobby entered the game of money making in golf by taking unto himself a blue chip—the blue chip being the $250,000 or so which he is supposed to have made from his series of golf in- struction motion pictures The real a Bobby hi ates place y re extrava- up as high as gure put forward on the basis the gross re- films gant $700,001 by some Jon of Bobby getting a cut of ceipts from the showing of his Probably a quarter of a million is r io the actual amount, which is to rate a blue in any game.

If we know bout golf and golfers (which es doubtful) there will be a people rushing to the busy f to buy these clubs in and wooden shafts, simply to steel in the begs replicas of the clubs | Pre won so many tournaments for Bobby Jones. Of course. they are just good golf clubs beer the Jones name and have several | new ideas incorporated in them, but the name itself will sell them and | probably countless duffers will get a new thrill and improve their game by Diaying the clubs bearing the mugle neme of the former “emperor.” With the set comes a replica of “Calamity Jane,” the putter made famous by Jones, in the making of which meticu- | lous care has been taken to carefully | reproduce the wrappings on the wooden shaft which came about on the orsnm when Bobby missed a short putt. HIS game of golf of ours is & queer | sport—a’l mixed up with mob psychology and methods and | trends of thought. Remember a year | back when the manufacturers put out deep-faced wooden clubs for the new | large ball. They told us the new ball would be skied from the old shallow- faced clubs and we golfers went and | bought them by the millions of dol lars’ worth. Now we are to have a heavier ball of the same size. Will we have to change our clubs agaia, | under the guise of sales promotion? | Of course, the new Jones clubs have nothing to do with that. Bobby would not permit his name to go on a propa- | ganda scheme. He is too fine & gen- tleman and too fine a sportsman for that. But do you suppose that Bobby is lending his name and designing | clubs for the mere glory of having the | Jones name on a set of golf clubs? It isn't likely. With that blue chip, represented by | the movie money and the blue chips to come because of the prominence of | the Jones name. dn golf, it won't be | Jong before Bobby is & millionaire. And he is deserving of it, if any man ever was. He gave plenty to the game of polf. He did much to make the game -class sport it is today. He stood for the finest sportsmanship and n a position to make himself independently wealthy for life, more is being done and he should be above year has elapsed when Bobby d ement from He has stuck to that that short time he otable bit toward independence for the Jones family of Atlanta.

Golf is a game of demonstrated skill and nothing else.
