That little question is causing j more friendly dispute today among j golf enthusiasts than any other issue in sports. N'dson’js victoTj Sunday in the national P.G.AJ championship at Dayton. ().. added zest to the argument. It was his eighth straight triumph in recent tournaments sponsored by the professional golf association, the most remarkable winning streak in the game’s history. It brought his earnings for the year to $31,500. a new high for six-and-a-half months of play. There’s no question that “Lord Byron" is the greatest golfer in action today. And it’s our opinion that he Is playing a better game ; than Bobby Jones did when the famous Atlantan was at his peak, ; But. let us emphasize this point”: i Nelson’s apparent superiority now doesn't prove that he could have i beaten Jones had they met when Bobby was at his best. The Nelson-Jones argument is mighty interesting, and it’s good for golf because it stimulates interest in the pill-pounding pastime; but it's more difficult to come up i with an answer than to decide, for example, who was the better heavyweight—Joe Louis or Jack Dempsey? It is a more difficult question because the lapse of time since Jones was in his heyday is far rio.’e important in golf than it was in boxing. Fighting has changed little since the great Dempsey was at his peak in sports’ "golden decade”; but golf has changed much —the style of play, equipment, condition of courses, etc. In our opinion, one can make this factual comparison between Nelson and Jones. Nelson plays his short irons better than Bobby ever did. However, they compare almost equally In other departments of the game. Both topped their contemporaries in wood play—from tee and from fairway. Both were the best of their times in medal

I I play: however Waller Hagen ali ways could beat Jones in match play, and if "The Haig" were in his prime now he'd unquestionably I beat Nelson also. Hagen was the | greatest mati h-player of all time Il is important to remember that i in Jones’ last nine open champion- : ships, he finished either first or second. Thai’s an amazing recon!, when one recalls that he was comi peting against such greats as Hagen, Sarazen, Armour. Barnes. >■;, i Yet. Nelson’s record over the pant I :ew years is brilliantly impressive, I too. He beat everyone worth while j in this tournament or that; and tlie average of Jones' day. which is ! to be expected because of improve, inents in golf. Many Jones admirers believe that Nelson is a mediocre putter. I However, this impression results | from the fact that Byron nearly alI ways is on the green in two sffots, and trying for a birdie or an eagle. Naturally this, causes him to take more putts than many chaps who approach the green in two shot.-, and then chip up for one putt. Jones was a competitive “killer.” He was cold, calculating and able. He had the co-ordination, the temI perament and the touch that made i him a "giant" in his day. it lie . were at his peak tpday, he to) would have benefited by the changes in the game; and it is our opinion that he would be playing ■ just as well as Nelson. Who would have triumphed over a season of tournament play" No one ever will know; but the Nel- ! son Jones argument will go on and ion with other great names probI ably added to it in the decades to '•come as the game tightens and new "sensations" carve out lasting j niches on its pedestal of fame. -<• CHINESE STORMING (Continued From Page On?) railroad reached a point 10 miles southwest of Yungfu. which is 32 miles southwest of Kweilin.
