Minneapolis, July 7. Fresh from his amazing triumphs abroad, Bobby Jones, that chubby-faced Napoleon of the links, is here to make a •bid for the American open chain- [ pionship. Not content with lifting every golfing crown in Great Br’taln, the i brilliant Atlantan — hailed the world over as the greatest golf- [ club wielder of all time —has hastened here to prove his supremacy over all comers. Met by a welcoming delegation of local sportsmen and city ofi'i-1 c.ials, Jones greeted his hosts with the same modesty and youthful charm that lias made him the idol I of athlete enthusiasts the world over. The famous tournament starts on July 10. Bobby Jones is the third Georgian to become an outstanding figure in the sphere of sport. Ty Qpbb, that king of the diamond, was tlie first native of Georgia to carve a niche for himself in the athletic hall of fame. Young Stribling, the brilliant heavyweight boxer, completes the trio. Robert Tyre Jones, 2d, is the first man in golfing history to hold three major links titles at the same time —British open. British amateur and American open. The last of these was won in last year's tourney. Sox, 5-2. Yesterday’s hero: Art Shires, pinch-hitting in the tenth inning, s ngled with the oases filled, giving Washington a 3 to 2 victory over the New York Yankees.

Although he is still a youngster, Bobby has held either the open or amateur championship each year since 1923. That year and in . 1926 anil 1929 he won the amateur crown. Tn 1921. 1925, 1927 and 1028, he was acclaimed the peer of all American rivals. Though he has been flooded with professional offers since first achieving golfing eminence, Bobby has steadfastly refused to be lured I away from the “simon-pure” ranks. Although not Wealthy in his own right, Jones makes a comfortable living as a lawyer. A vast change has coni' 1 over the Georgian since his boyhood vicI tories. He was given to fits of i temperament but today he has quieted down and devotes himself during matches in concentrating on his unbeatable brand of golf. He w ns by playing the golf course instead of his opponent. Although, if he wins the coining tournament, there will remain no golfing worlds for him to conquer, Jones declares that he will not retire from competition. Bobby loves the game too much to quit while nt the peak of his sensational career. Among the link aces Jones will compete against in the impending matches are Horton Smith, Leo Hiegel and “Wild Bill” Mehlhorn. ice corporation.
