BOBBY JONES SETTING PACE U. S. Golfer Plays Sensational Game To Equal St. Andres Course Record St. Andrews, Scotland, July 13. —(U Ph —A beautiful round of 68, equalling the course record on old St. AnI drew*, began Bobby Jones’ defense of the British open golf championship today. It wan one of those days when Bob|>y was on his game and could give a I golfing lesson to any player in the world. His 32 on the outgoing nine was amazing and he followed up on the homeward nine with a splendid 36. The Atlanta youth's exceptional round was all the more brilliant because of a sodden course and threatening weather. His card: Out 454, 433. 432—32.

With one fighter wearing red and the other purple, it was believed the difficulty of spectators in far-away seats being unable to distinguish which man is which, will be eliminated.

Mineapolis, Minn.—Layne and Voter started Indianapolis scoring in the fourth inning by hitting home runs off Moon.

July 13— (UP) - Sergeant Sammy Baker's visions of winning the welterweight championship from Joe Dundee were materially intensified today- And rightly—because he stopped Mushy Callahan in the ninth round of their match last night. Callahan holds the title of junior welterweight champion, hut that honor was not at stake In liis fight with Baker because the latter chose to forego a chance to win it and not cripple himself by making the 140-pound weight limit. The Sergeant's victory was as clean cut and decisive as his triumph over "Ace" Budkin* of Nebraska in New York last month. With both Callahan and Hudkins out of the way, it is difficult to place others ahead of Sammy as loclcal contenders. 0 Dempsey Resumes liis Training After Rest Saratoga Springs, N. Y„ July 13 — (UP)—-lack Dempsey expected to resume ills training routine today, after having had a day off yesterday while he went to Lake George to officiate as starter for the 24-mile swim. Dempsey got back to his camp laat night after a harrowing day. He had fallen into the water when a pier collapesd at the lake; had rescued a fainting woman; and he came to his quarters in a wild thunderstorm during which he had been drenched by the rain. He went immediately to bed.

We all ought to know the underlying principles, bu; ’ detail varies with the individual. It lall nonsense to try to have lightening sensations in the left hand, to remember to keep your head so absolutely still and the various other things that are so constantly recommended. Furthermore, it is almost impossible. Just grip the club with your fingers as ii fills in your hand and if you keep your eye on the hall your head will be still. It is best to he as natural as possible and get up and hit the ball, with the thought, of course, but with a certain abandon too. The golf swing is a rhythmical stroke, and the rhythm is spoiled by too many jerky ideas. Golf of course, is a difficult game, and even the best players have their golden rule, but the whole thing is t process of elimination and you most take tlie rules most helpful to v >u. I have never achieved a good result l»y hitting my hall carelessly. Always I have a definite idea in my mind. Perhaps I could make distinction and-say that one should hit the ball in a carefree way, but not carelessly. Golf does iequire concentration and thought.
