Jones to Strive for National Amateur Golf Crown to Add to Open Laurels

ATLANTA PHENOM ’ENTERED IN BIG SEPTEMBER MEET Bobby Ambitious to Own Double Title of Links, a Rare Achievement, Bv BILLY EVANS Bobby Jones, golfer extraordinary. thinks this is going to be his big year The Atlanta phenom started it in the most approved style by winning the national open championship, the world series of golf. In winning the golf classic, an honor expected to fall to the professional, Jones inscribed his name among the Immortals in amateur golfdom. Only three other amateurs in the history of the event —Ouimet, Evans and Travers—have ever won the open title. Believes Jinx Shaken Jones, spurred on by his brilliant play in the open event, and feeling that he has outdistanced the jinx fchat always has pursued his competitive play, is set on winning the national amateur championship. It is the ambition of Jones -to win both the open and amateur event the same year, thereby equaling the record held by only one other amateur. Chick Evans. Back in 1916, Evans with a score of 286, the lowest ever registered in an open championship, won that event. He came right back by 'winning the national amateur title, eliminating the ever-dangerous Robert Gardner in the finals 4 and 3. Ouimet’s Record No other amateur player has ever turned this trick. In 1913 Francis Ouimet surprised the golfing world by winning the open title after finishing in a tie with Ray and Vardon. He was not equal to winning both events, although he proved that his unexpected victory in the open was no fluke by winning the amateur title Jhe following year. Feeling that his play in the Western amateur would not be up to his game, because of the severe strain be had gone through in the national open, and not desiring to detract from his hard earned honors, he passed up the recent Cleveland event. It is his intention to rest a few weeks and then point lp s game for the national amateur, scheduled for the week of Sept. 10-15 at the Floosmoor Country Club at Chicago.

Big League Liners

Reduction of a mere three games of New York's National League leadership marked the Giants’ defeat by the second place Pirates in Pittsburgh, Wednesday. A base on balls in the sixth inning by Pitcher Bentley proved a fatal blow to the McGrawites. Rawlings followed with a elngla and Carey settled the issue with a triple. The Reds, nestled in third place only three points behind the Pirates, also gained on New York, for they too, were victors, in a game with the Phillies at Cincinnati. With the veteran Grover Alexander pitching in usual form, the Cubs snatched a win from the tail end Braves in Chicago. Alex got a homer, his first in two years. The Cardinals nosed out two victories over the Brooklyn Dodgers in St. Louis, the second a fourteeninning battle. JJabe Ruth’s twenty-fifth homer off Southpaw Sherrod Smith In the ninth inning with Whitey Witt on base failed to aid the Yankees Wednesday, who lost to Cleveland. Victory for Cleveland prevented St- Louis, in dose pursuit, from moving into berth No. 2. as the latter won both games of a doubleheader from the fast waning Athletics at Philadelphia. T he Mackmen dropped into seventh place.

Bad Vision Responsible for Many Poor Games By Mike Brady Western Open Champion 10T always is it the fault of a man’s stroke or any diminution of his physical powers that he suddenly finds himself off color and apparently unable to get back on his regular game. Frequently the fault is with his eyes. A majority of men have their eyes tested every so often for reading glasses, but they do not always appreciate that the eyes also have to be attuned to the golf stroke and that the correction made for near-view purposes may not suffice for the out-of-door game. I mention this because I happen to know of ||ft| the case of a man who for years was a very fine golfer, a grand golfer for one of his age, whose game suddenly went back on him to such an extent that instead of scoring in the low* 80s and sometimes ir the 70s, he began to slip into the 90s |||i ii. M j and actually once or twice had gone into three figures for the first time -in his career. After watching him play one round I made brady up my mind that with him it was nothing more nor less than eyesight. He was hitting way back of his ball and catching it on the upstroke, where before that he was a firm, crisp and sure hitter directly on the ball on the downstroke. He has experimented with anew swing, but no matter how he changes his stance, where he placed his feet in relation to the ball, he kept hitting well back of the ball. Nothing but eyesight could account for this continued habit, in the case of a man who had been so excellent a player, and to my mind he will never get back to his old game until he has consulted the oculist.

MISS SHEFFIELD t DEMO N S T R A CORRECT POSITION Nlljfc:. FOR ARMS. HEAD. AND BODY WHEN A DIVE. YOUR HANDS CUT THE WATER.

By LYBA SHEFFIELD, Director of Swimming, University of California, Summer Session. JAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. Many beginners think that diving is jumping into the water. But they usually learn from experience that the water can give hard knocks when entered improperly. And they are lucky if they do not also discover from experience that an improper dive may cause a swimmer to strike his head against the bottom of the tank. So it will pay you to learn diving slowly and thoroughly before you attempt dives or “jump-ins” of your own invention. The hands play a very Important part in diving. They are the “break" which parts the water. To get the correct position, raise your arms straight up, then cross the pajm of the left hand over the back of the right hand, “locking" your thumbs. Push Out Your Chin Now kneel on the edge of the pool and bend the body forward until the chin Is as far forward as possible. Extend your arms In front

Os course, the hands and head enter first. Remember not to stiffen or straighten the body when falling forward, or you will fall flat on the water’s surface —with painful consequences to yourself. In diving the body should enter the water at a 45degree angle. * After you are proficient in the fallins. you are ready for true diving. Take the same position you assumed for the standing fall-in, body bent forward, arms extended and knees flexed. * Rise Quickly on Toes Then quickly rise on the toes, straighten the knees and thus enter the water. As you did in the fall-in, keep your body in the starting position until it is completely submerged; then bring yourself to the surface by pointing the fingers upward and raising the head and shoulders. After you become used to this dive, you will be able to execute it without the preliminary bending forward or the necessity of getting correct position with the arms and hands before diving off: you will assume these positions while In the air. All the fancy diving you see is founded on this elementary dive; so you will want to master it thoroughly before attempting more spectacular efforts. NEXT: How to swim the side under arm stroke.

DEAN SPADES MANAGER 140-Pound Eleven Plans Early Start This Season. At a meeting Wednesday evening at 2408 Brookside Parkway, S. M. Dean was appointed manager of the Spades football team. About thirty candidates attended the first session and expressed a desire for practice to be started early. Ralph, Hall, star half back, will captain the Spades eleven this year. The team will play in the 140-pound class, and its backers believe it will be a powerful contender for the title of its division. willslefuses TO GIVE OP HIS OLD BOSS, PADDV Mullins Aided Harry When He Was Down and Harry Sticks With Him, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Several years back when he was broke flat, when he was out of a job and when an addition to the family necessitated some money, Harry Wills found a friend in need in “Old Paddy Mullins.” Without asking for collateral, Mullins advanced several loans to get Harry over the tight places and he told the b:g fighter who is now challenging Jack Dempsey that he could pay it back when he got it and he needn't be in a hurry to get it. What Broadway Says The “coyotes” of Broadway have been stumbling over each other trying to steal Wills away from his friend and manager. They argue that Paddy is too easy and that if Wills had an aggressive manager he would have had a shot at the title before this and would have been “better off” about a quarter of a million . To all of whom Wills replied: “Paddy and I are goin’ right along together. He suits me." Wills Is just as reticent as his manager. He feels he ought to be considered before Luis Firpo as the next opponent for Dempsey, but instead of raising a fuss about it, hae assumed the position: "If the commission says so. I'll have to wait.” Not Fighting Enough It Is being said Wills hasn’t been fighting enough, that he turned down an offer to fight George Godfrey on the milk show card, that he has turned down 4600,000 worth of other matches because he was afraid of losing a match with Dempsey. “We haven’t turned down an offer without a good reason,” Wills said today. “I want to fight Dempsey because I think I can win the title. I am not out for money alone, as I think every one will agree. I’m ready for the fight if they’ll let me fight,” he said. CARD NEARLY FILLED FOR FIRPO SHOW HERE Jack Druley, matchmaker of the boxing show' to be held at the Hoosier Motor Speedway Aug. 8, in which Luis Firpo. South American mauler, will meet Joe Downey of Columbus. Ohio, in the main go, has completed three-fourths of the night’s card. Alex Novesky of Cincinnati will box Jackie Barnhart of Terre Haute six rounds and Freddie Boorde will meet Johnny Lucas in six sessions. The Downey Firpo main go is scheduled for ten rounds. Kid Sparks of Terre Haute and Maxie Epstein of Indianapolis probably will be matched for the fourth bout of the night, a six-round affair.

OLD PONGO, WITH VETS AND KIDS, HEREFOR SERIES Indians Tackle Millers After Losing 12-Inning Thriller in Brewer Final, Pongo Joe Cantillon and his mixture of vets and youngsters were In town today to open a series with the Indians. The Miller crew has been going fairly veil of late and the Tribesmen are not expecting easy sailing. Fact of the matter it looks like another series of thrillers at the Tribe lot. The Milwaukee Brewers left the cty with one game of the series here or- their side of the books. They barely escaped losing four in a row and it took two pinch home runs to nose out the Indians. Excitement for Fans The Brewers won after twelve innings, Wednesday, 5 to 4, and the fans were given all brands of excitement. Sehaack and Petty staged a remarkable pitching battle and Sehaack had a slight edge, or just enough to win. Sehaack also got in with a Frank Merriwell homer in the ninth that saved the day for himself and Brewer mates. With two out and the score 3 to 2 in the Indians’ favor, Sehaack

Protest Refused

President Tom Hickey of the A. A. is strong for his umpires. They're always right, according to Tom, even if they go out of the rule book to make a decision. Hickey has refused to allow the Indianapolis protest of the Kansas City game here last Wednesday. The Indians protested a decision of Umpire Murray when Murray declared Rehg out “because of the alleged interference of a spectator” on a foul ball hit by Rehg. Jack Hendricks say hell appeal Hickey's ruling to the league board of directors or to the National board of t rbitration. Hickey also refused to allow a,Minneapolis protest of an Indianapolis game of a week ago last Sunday.

crashed a liner to right field that went beyond Christenbury. The ball bounded twice and the second hop took it over the low fence for a home run, tying the score. Griffin’s Homer Wins In the twelfth Palmer singled off Campbell's shoes, Johnson sacrificed and Griffin hit one that curved away from Brown in center for a home run. Palmer scored ahead of "Griff” and the Brewers took the lead, 5 to 3. But the Indians were not through entirely. They got a run in their half of the twelfth and had the bases populated when the game-ending out was made. It was a severe finish for the short-winded fan. The game cost the Tribe the services of Catcher Krueger for two or three weeks. He got a, split finger in the eighth inning and had to retire. The wound bled profusely. Leo Dixon took Krueger’s place. Brown led the Tribe swattprs with four hits. Walter Rehg also was out of action because of an indefinite suspension handed him by President Hickey for his run-in with Umpire Murray at the park Tuesday. Rehg also was fined. SSO. Manager Hendricks kept telegraph wires hot this morning trying to make a deal for a catcher to help out Dixon during the absence of Krueger. Rain washed away the Tigers and Senators in Washington Wednesday.
