A—12 s RIVALS FOR FIRST TIVE SINCE 153 Pair Carried Off 19 Titles Between Them in Period From 1922 to 1932. BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. UGUSTA, Ga. April 2.—Be- sides bringing together the finest field available for the | climax of the Winter circuit, | with as much class and more color than a national open championship, the second annual Augusta national invitation tournament revives a keen personal rivalry between the greatest two champions of American post- | war golf—Gene Sarazen and Bob | Jones. | They will match shots over the 72-hole route. starting this Thurs- day, for the first time since 1930, the year Jones registered his famous “grand slam.” Between 1922 and 1932 these two accounted for a total | of 19 national championships. Sarazen declined an invitation to| compete in last Spring's tournament here, which marked the return of the great Georgian to competition after a four-year layoff. To make sure he would not be tempted to change his mind or yield to persua- sion, Sarazen left the country and | toured Latin America by airplane. Feud Once Existed, HIS was accepted as fresh e\'i-l dence of some feeling, if not an actual “feud” between Sarazen and Jones, growing out of several incidents calculated to irritate one or the other. | No doubt they were magnified, but | Gene did put the “blast” on Bob a year or so ago upon hearing the Georgian would return to competi- tion if the national open was awarded the Augusta course. The report proved untrue and Sarezen subse- quently regretted his impulsiveness. If there are any injured feelings left, however, they are not in evidence this Spring. Time seems to have mellowed both former champions. They have practiced together and Robert P. Jones, Bobby’s popular dad, teamed up with Gene in a friendly foursome yesterday. Sarazen has praised the Augusta course as the greatest all-around lay- out in the country, though he does not consider it as tough as Oakmont, the scene of this year's United States open championship. Rated Co-Favorites. ARAZEN, whose sensational play so far here has made him a co- favorite in the betting with Jones angd Paul Runyan, hopes to signalize a comeback of his own in this week’s all-star all-America golfing battle. Gene was acclaimed the new world champion in 1932, when he captured both the British and American open titles. He won the National P. G. A. crown in 1933, but hasn’t won a big tournament since then. He “blew” great chances to repeat his open championship “double” last year by carding 7s. Gene's confidence in himself has been restored by sub-par rounds of 65 and 67 over the Augusta links. He is hitting the ball better and putting more consistently than Jones. Like most observers, Sarazen figures Jones cannot overcome the handicap of long absence from hard competi- | There were numerous others, PORTS. 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR PICARD GETS ASH WTHEUNDERPAR 1Shoots 65 for 209 Total to Win at Atlanta—Cooper Two Strokes Back.

But for his erratic putting Jones would have been well up in last year's tournament here, won by Horton Smith, with Bob in a tie for thir- teenth place. Bob Not Going Well. HE former emperor of golf isn't playing as well in practice this Spring as he did a year ago, even though he has more confidence on the greens with a putter which is built like his celebrated ‘“‘Calamity Jane,” but is much heavier. Unless he quickly regains control of his irons, Jones is not likely to be in the run- ning. He is in a tough spot. This year's field of 60 players is stronger than the 1934 entry, which lacked Sarazen, Tommy Armour, Law- son Little, Jimmie Thomson and Olin Dutra, all now among those present. Little, holder of both British and American amateur crowns, and Char- ley Yates, the intercollegiate cham- pion, head a strong amateur contin- gent, which may make the money players hustle. The veterans expect Old Man Par— 72 for the 6,700-yard layout—to take a bad beating. They say they won't be surprised if 280 is broken for 72 holes, but they are always optimists until the firing begins.

Atlantic City, N. J., April 10. e S R e e PART 1 When a million people have all done the same thing, there must be good reason for it. And when they have done it over a period of 20 years, there must be an even bigger reason. " There was no law to compel these people to do this thing. And there certainly was no secret about the price of gasoline and motor fuel. Prices are very plainly posted on pumps and people could very easily make their choice. What’s more, it’s human nature to jump at the lowest price there is. What we’re leading up to is this: In spite of the fact that different gasolines can be bought at different prices, over a million people have found it good business to buy the original special motor fuel- Amoco-Gas—at 3c per gallon more than regular gasoline. And in face of the greatest barrage of claims and counter-claims in the history of the gasoline business, they have stuck to Amoco-Gas. Why? They are not philanthropists. They work hard for their money. Gasoline is a big item in their budget and they know they can buy regular gasoline for less per gallon at the pump. Then why do they keep on paying more per gallon for Amoco- Gas? Because they know by actual experience that Amoco-Gas is really cheaper when figured the right way-- when allowing for its greater mileage and other proven economies. They know also that Amoco-Gas, among other things, furnishes a luxury in riding-a delightful Pullman comfort—found in no other motor fuel. They know too, even if they made no allowance whatever for the fewer gallons of Amoco-Gas required to go the same distance--even if they made no allowance for the other Amoco operating economies —the pleasure and driving-luxury of Amoco-Gas would alone justify the slight increased cost per gallon over regular gasoline—about that of a postage stamp a day. But they know that actually Amoco-Gas costs 7ot more per day, but less. For experience has shown them that the small amount extra per gallon put up at the beginning, really winds up by saving them money in the end--in greater mileage, fewer repair bills and extended motor life. So the moral of all this is: A million people can’t be crazy! There . must be good reason why so many people will pay more per gallon for.Amoco-Gas. And the rgason is=it does more and is well wassh marel 3 i P A SPORTS. | Spices Augusta Golf : D. C. Linksmen Look to U. S. Open Jones-Sarazen Due a spot.

RT 11 The story so far is about Amoco-Gas. If we hadn’t said a word about a GREATER Amoco-Gas, these million people wowld hawe gone right on feeling that Amoco was the finest motor fuel on easth and that it simply couldn’t be improved. And we didn’t think it could be improved either~till somethimg happened! The American Oil Company built the largest, most modesa refining unit in the world at Texas City, Texas. k can do things never before done in producing gasofine. One of these things is the remarkable way this new refinery, through new patented processes, can put more of the available energy from the raw crudes into the finished gasoline. Always wasted in older methods of refining, this extra available energy makes an entirely new quality in our basic gasoline. Everything that made Amoco great has been kept in; but to the now improved basic gasoline is being added a larger percentage of the most costly of Amoco’s exclusive ingredients. Therefore we are able to offer-GREATER Amoco-Gas, which reaches a new world’s high in calorific* value. P A R.T TIl1I The greater calorific value of GREATER Amoco-Gas means this to you as a motorist—it takes Jess fuel to get more results.
