A HAPPY MAX Fr— —IROM time to time certain pessimistic philosophers ——— have despaired of finding a happy man. If any such are hereabouts they need look no farther than Indianapolis today. Robert Jones Sr, of Atlanta, Ga. is in town. That name to some may not bring anything particular to mind. Jones is a rather common name, but when one puts Robert in front of it and names the place of abode as Atlanta, then the sport fan pricks up his ears and listens. A very uncommon Jones lives in Atlanta. Yes, it is Bobby Jones’ father. He is in Indianapolis as counsel for the Adair Realty and Trust Cos. of Atlanta, affairs of which are before for the State Securities commission. For The Dumb In case someone doesn’t know what Bobby Jones did Friday, the information is imparted that he won the British open golf tournament after a remarkable exhibition. Bobby Jones is not only a wonderful golfer but a wonderful fellow as well. He most certainly lias followed in his father’s footsteps as far as geniality is concerned. And the ‘“old man” is a golfer, too, and deeply interested in the sport. Right now he knows every stroke his son took in the British meet. Jones Sr. is like that. Is he proud of his son? Would you be in such a case? The eyes of Robert Jones Sr. fairly beamed with pride, Friday when interviewed, but he is not the kind to say too much. Thinking of Von Elm

On the final day of the tournament Bobby's father was thinking about George Von Elm. “I just kept wondering about Von Elm,” he said. “Last reports that I read did not mention Von Elm’s name and he is dangerous. You see, he finished tied with Hagen in third place.” 1 When asked about his own golf , he was modest, but said he had won the Atlanta A. C. championship a couple times. , “Bobby beat me for the Atlanta Athletic Club championship when he was 13 years old. * We went to the final match. And the youngster shot five ' birdies on the last nine to down me. “There wasn’t any fatherly lovo about it. I told liini if he beat me he’d gave to play golf, and he sure did it. I have never beaten him since. I have given up. He is 34 years old now. Jones’ ideal golf temperament often has been commented on. His father threw an interesting side-light -on this phase of the great golfer’s make-up. According to the elder Jones his illustrious son is naturally highly strung and as a boy. used to throw his clubs away in rage after .missing a shot. Conquered Himself Always a natural golfing genius, Bobby’s greatest fight has been with himself—and he has conquered. ‘ • Jones also spoke highly of Watts Gunn, the youngster from Atlanta- He said Gunn was undoubtedly a great .golfer and had done remarkably well in England in his first experience on the windswept course of the British Isles. “It is entirely different, over there,” said Jones. All America is glad that Jbnes wen the British open. Those who have had the opportunity of meeting Bobby’s father are doubly glad that tlte crown rests where it does. • * * THIS BOBBY JONES pBBY JONES—Robert T. Jones of Atlanta, Ga.—at the age of 24 has become not only the greatest golfer in the world at medal play, but one of tho most personable and popular champions the game has known. Year in, year out, Jones’ medal scores in important tournaments outrank those of any other golfer of the past decade, not excepting the great Walter Hagen, whom many believe to be Bobby’s master at match play. It is sixteen years since the Atlantan, at the tender age of 8, won his first championship, a special event for children at his home course. At 10, Bobby had added the junior championship of the club to his list, and at 14 was the equal of any adult golfer in the £>outh. Bobby Jones had become the most gracious and unaffected of champions, courteous to opponents, considerate of the gallery, a golfer whose personal chann caused the British to hail Ills victory at St. Anne's as the next best thing to a national triumph. Jones made his first important bid for amateur golfing honors at the age of 19, when he was a finalist, losing to David Herron. In 1921, the Atlantan finished fifth in the national open championship, and in 1922 was second to Gene Saraten. The year 1923 saw Bobby crowned national open champion, and in the two succeeding years he annexed the amateur title, a record far surpassing that of any amateur player in recent years. Although he plays golf all the year ground, Jones has steadfastly refused to make the game his profession, thereby turning down prodigious salaries which have been offered to him by promoters everywhere. Bobby is far from independent financially, but lie has insisted that he will not “turn pro.” “I want to prove to myself that I can do something besides play golf for a living,” lie said recently, refusing a gtnall fortune offered by a Florida realtor. a K. O. BY TENDLER ATLANTIC CITY. June 26. Ge*rgie Russell, Wilkesbarre, was knocked out by Lew Tendler in aixth round here Friday night.

Final Days of Western Meet at Woodstock Filled With Possibilities. Sixty-four tennis players in the western singles; along comes plenty of competition and then there were four. After today, only two; after Sunday, only one. The semi-finals in the men’s singles of the Western championship at Woodstock courts today offered every prospect of a dazzling display of the net sport. It would he difficult to select two more evenly matched contests than George Lott of Chicago vs. B. I. C. Norton of Sfin Antonio, Tex. and Alfred H. Chapin of Sprlrlgfleld, Mass. vs. John Hennessey of Indianapolis. The matches were scheduled at 1:30 this, afternoon. ( Finals in men’s doubles and finals in women’s doubles wore a part of today’s program. Hennessey-Chapin vs. Lott-Williams appears to be a toss-up. One of the combinations was to be Western champs after today's match. Mrs. Olga Weil and Miss Clara Zlnke of Cincinnati were favored to cop the women’s doubles title when they met Miss Helen Cansfleld and Miss Marion Pearson of Detroit. The first-named, pair upset the dope on Friday by defeating Mrs. Chapin and Miss Leighton, the flr§t seeded team in the women’s doubles, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. Senil-final matches in women's single? and mixed doubles also were to bo played, making up a highclass card of much variety. Strong Pair In Friday's play Hennessey and Chapin found the Kunkel brothers of Cincinnati easy in a semi final match, and after taking the first set, 6-4, marched through the two remaining sets without losing a game. B. I. C. Norton and Jack McKay won a third round doubles match from Bell and J. Norton after five sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-8, 2-6, 7-5. The veteran McKay tired, however, and in a semi-final match completely wilted, Williams and Lott winning, 7-5, 6-1, 6-3. Favorites came through in the women’s singles, Mrs.‘Chapin, Miss Leighton, Mrs. Weil and Miss Zinke winning easily. Three local players were victim^. The victory of Mrs. Weil and Miss Zinke over Mrs. Chapin and Miss Leighton in a semi-final women's doubles match developed the best women's tennis seen in this city for many moons. Miss Zinke Star It was a battle from start to/flnlsh. Mrs. Chapin displayed some beautiful tennis in an effort to stave off defeat, but Mrs. Weil and Miss Zinke were steady and at times brilliant. Miss Zinke is only a youngster, but appears to be a coming star. Miss Cansfleld and Miss Pearson of Detroit defeated the local pair, Miss Haworth and Mrs. Pugh, 6-1, 6-3. Mr. and Mrs. Chapin, J. Norton and Miss Leighton, George Lott and Miss Zinke, Paul Kunkel and Mrs. Weil, won semi-final matches in the mixed doubles. The Chapins and Lott-Zinke combinations appear tc be the most formidable teams. Friday’s results: Men's Doubles (third round I—McKay and B. I. C. Norton defeated Bell and J.

lastlo open. Jack Mcrriam of Technical |llgh School won. But in that tournament there came to the surface two real-for-suro hard luck players, players of ability, still not tho kind who sat behind and beefed about their bad breaks. Bob Wenzel and his brother, Dick, are caddies at the rieasant Run course. Bob was playing Merrinm in a thirdround match. It happened that on the seventh hole Bob saw a stick on the fairway a few yards ahead of his ball. He had his caddy remove it. Merrlam saw the act and protested. They continued play to the eighteenth green. Wenzel halved the match when he won the hole, but when the referee heard of tho removal of the stick he awarded that hole to Merriam. Thus, Wenzel was eliminated on the seventeenth green. Wenzel gnlned no benefit whatsoever by having that stick removed. Ho accepted the verdict without a whimper, however, and lost, a victim to the rules. He is confident of coming back next year. Tho next day Bob’s brother, Richard, was playing Neville Ewing In tho semi-finals. Ewing ultimately

that when playing another ball it must be dropped over the left shoulder, while facing the flag. Ewing saw what had been done and immediately protested. He was awarded the hole. That started to work on Wenzel's nerves and he cracked. Never ngnln during the remainder < f the match did he show the stuff that carried him to the semi-finals or that he had shown up until that point in the match. He lost three up and one to play. We nominate the Wenzel boys as real hard luck players.
