JINX FOLLOWS BOBBY JONES By Flunk Getty ? (U. P. Spent Editor) Olympia Fields, Chicago, June 2:: (U.R)-The jinx of golf, which sees n, h that the player who leads the field ul the start of the third round does nd come through to win the open championship, lurked in the footsteps of Bobby Jones today. Only once in the past decade has the golfer who was out In front at the end of 36 holes finished in front, nn<| that was. in 1925. when Willie Macfarhine ‘ had to fight his way through two playioffs under a broiling New England sii i to capture tile title. But Bobby Jones was ever one to scoff at golfing superstitions, he carries his with him In his well f|)| P | |, itg ■ of graduated Irons and wizardry woods The Amateur champion, twice winnei of the British and American open titles set out* today, paired with Little ttetir Sarazen. leading his closest rivals le t a margin of three strokes. Two rounds will be played today at.d twilight will be creeping ovei Olympia Fields, before the National open < ham pion of 1928 is called to the smooth lawn by the Hospitable Club house to make his little speech and receive th. cup. Bob Jones was a lot less worried about that famous jinx offhe links that he was about the presence of Walt. Hagen, for example, three strokes behind the start of the third round, a favorite lurking place for "the Haig." There seems no logical “reason why a player who is behind when the final hole test begUis should expect to beat out those in front of him, but that is I one of Hagen's pet superstitions. In the British open at Sandwich this Spring, Walter deliberately lay behind the leaders, to come through with a rush oil the final day and win going away. Catching up with Bob Jones may be something different from overtaking some upstart dark horse, however. Jones has led the field at this stage before. never to win, but lie knows the sensation. Bobby also has somewhat reluctantly won qualifying medals in the amateur championship, another supposedly fatal jinx, and has come I through to take the Simon-Pure crown. o LEADING MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS National League Player and Club G AB R H PC.
