FARRELL BEATS JONES FOO TITLE Olympia Fields, Chicago, June 25— (UP)—After a' play-off packed with drama to the last putt, .Johnny Farrell of Quaker Ridge is open golf champion of the United States. 1». bby Jones, twice winner of the title ami piesent amateur /liumplon. just couldn't "get hot" tn the Sunday rain, and so lost to Farrell by a single stroke. Three times in the past six years a play-off has been necessary to decide the national open championship. Jones has participated in ajl three, but this one at Olympia Fields under dripping grey skies was the most dramatic of all. It would be unfair to say that Johnny Farrell outgamed Robby in the extra 36-hole match which decided the championship after the New York pro and the Atlanta amateur had tied with aggregates of 294 at the end of the fit st four rounds. But gameness was the hall mark of the new champion’s game, as the pair battled through the downpour to the final hole. It was grin against grimness, as Johnny and Bobby fought to the greatest finish a gallery at an open championship ever has witnessed — and the grin won. "I hope I can live up to it,” said Johnny, with that ready, infectious smile of his. as they handed him the big silver cup. Farrell has tried nine times to win the open title, and this is his first success. It means between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO to him within the next year, counting the return from exhibition matches, endorsements and other lucrative engagements. One can look confidently for a picture of Johnny picking the right cigarette blindfolded any day now. Bobby Jones, who went through similarly nerve-wracking play-offs at i Inwood in 1923 and at Worcester in 1925, smiled with genuine relief when Sunday's match was over. The Atlantan’s golfing fame is un-' dimmed, for he carried the new champion to the lip of the cup on the eighteenth green of the afternoon round at Olympia Fields. Farrell squared the match at the 31st hole, where the new champion nearly sank his tee shot for a hole-in-one. A birdie two to Jones' regulation par three put Farrell on even terms with five holes to go. Both j had tossed away chances up until this point. They halved the next two I holes in par figures, and then came the incidents which will be recalled I whenever golfers gather at the 19th hole. At the short 34th. Bobby push- ; ed his tee shot over the edge 4:' the green. He tried desperately to chip back dead, but his ball stopped 30 feet from the cuip and he couldn’t get the ■ putt down, v Johnny laid his pitch nicely on the . green and was down in par three to Bobby’s four, thus gaining the lead lie never relinquished. To say that both finished with hirdies for their last two holes is to tell only part of the story. Farrell had the honor at the seventeenth and sliced into the rough at the left. It looked like Bobby’s I chance and he slapped his tee shot straight down the fairway. From ' deep rough, the new champion laid ' an iron shot one foot from the pin. 1 Jones was on with his second, bin I twenty-five feet from the pin. and it loiked as though the match was over. Bobby Jones never is beaten, however, until the last pull goes down. The AtlanVin sank tjie 25 f.oojer and they halved the hole in birdie threes. Then came the 18th equally spectacular. o • THE BIG FIVE Player G. AB R H HR Pct.
