Bobby Jones’ Record Rates Him as Greatest Golfer in World
BY HENRY L. FARRELL YOUNG 808 JONES, respecting the aversion he has for the name Bobby, is still the world’s greatest golfer despite the fact of what may happen to him when he defends his title in the coming amateur championship. It is one of those highly unnecessary things to do to refer to Bob Jones’ record because it is so
well known and it has so clearly established that fine young man as the premier golfer of all time. When he was plodding around the spongy acres of the Olympia Fields Country Club with hardly a stroke that would obey him and only a battling heart to keep him in the tournament, it was
said of him, with a touch of pathos —"Jones is through.’’ Going Down Sign Not only was it taken almost for granted in the closing "ounds of that hectic open tournament that Bob was going down but it was speculated on the unruliness of his game that he is destined for other defeat in the championship. "Jones,’’ it was voiced by experts, “is going the way of all good golfers who have to work. Francis Ouimet slipped when his play days ended and he had to go to work and fashion some sort of a career for himself.’’ , It may be that Jones is through as the dominating power of every tournament in the country where the greats of golf gather.

Indians in Tough Spot as They Face K. C.; Two Games Sunday. ‘COMMY’ STARS AFIELD BY EDDIE ASH Witli five games with the Kansas City Blues to be played in four days, including a regularly scheduedl dou-ble-header Sunday, the Indians are facing the toughest kind of opposition in their efforts to retain the league lead. Eddie Zwilling, K. C. boss, says his pastimers are out to “get” the league leaders and do some league leading themselves. His athletes bowled over Louisville Friday, while the Indians were losing to the Brewers again, 9 to 5, and as a result a big chunk was taken out of the pennant edge held by the Betzelites. "Sign of slipping when a club loses two in a row,” the Blues remarked around their headquarters at the Severin this morning. Moore Rooters Needed More rooters and more rooting might help the Betzel boys regain their stride, and the fans are urged to do their week-ending at Washington Park. All the western clubs are powerful and the Indians apparently are going to win or lose the
Certainly, with other things on his mind and the responsibilities of a young professional man in a calling that takes a lot of application, Jones will have to subordinate his golf for the higher demand of family duty and his game will suffer. It already has suffered. But Jones, on his record, will remain as the greatest golfer until some other young fellow corner along with more golf than he had. That young fellow never may come. Two Joneses are too much to expect in one generation and it. by the demands of more arithmetic would take another young fellow more than ten years to do what Bob has done. Bob Jones can stand well on his record and if he feels it imperative to curtail his activities or to retire almost entirely from major tournament competition he can hold up his record and, without vanity or conceit, invite the other joung fellows to shoot at it. Seven Big Titles Jones has won seven national championships in the United States and Great Britain. The table of his scores in the American “major leagues” since 1920 follows and it shows, better than oratory, what the Jones game has been: 109iZf5.i.- rn if. ss 78-74-70-77-299 l{j,l HtJ.V.V lblft 78-71-77-77—303 ID22—Skoki? 2flQ 3S-Worcester 77-79-70-74—291 toS? ‘Won—Columbus ... 70-79-71-73—293 1927 Oakmont 76-77-79-77 309 1928 oivmnia 73-71-77-73Z294 Play-off with Cruickshank. 1923. 76 Play-off with McFarlane. 1925 75-73—148 Plav-off with Farrell. 1928. 73-71—144. This, it needs no emphasis, is a record and, as in the case of another illustrious and celebrated Georgian, Ty Cobb, it is a mark that the boys will be shooting at for some time, even if the great Jones is through making records.

State Junior Golf Tourney Carded at Ft. Wayne Club Week of Aug. 20 Mossier Awards Links Title Event for Youths to Northern * Indiana Course: Other Gossip.
BY DICK MILLER The fifth annual Indiana junior golf championship tournament will be held at the Ft. Wayne Country Club the week of Aug. 20. In a telegram to A. E. Smith, chairman of the sports and pastimes committeee of the Ft. Wayne club, Jesse Mossier, secretary of the Indiana Golf Association, authorized that plans go forward immediately toward staging the title event there. The junior golf championship always has been held at the Culver Academy course. This year the fact that the military school will be the scene of a national junior tennis meet, a yacht race and other big events, as well as the fact the Culver nine-hole course is too small to accommodate the fast growing junior entry list, caused the school officials to pass up the 1928 event. Two Invitations W F. Fox Jr., who has been active in the promotion of the event since it started, four years ago. gathered invitations from the Tippecanoe Country Club and the Ft. Wayne Country Club for the honor of playing host to the tournament. Both were presented to Mossier, and Ft. Wayne was awarded the meet. The northern Indiana course is easy to reach via traction, train and auto and is expected to attract the best of the younger golfer-, in the State for the title play. The course one of the sportiest in the State, is a true test of golf skill. Previous Winners In the first championship in 1924, Ed Flanigan Jr., of Crawfordsville, was returned winner. Fosdick Goodrich of this city was winner of the next event in 1925. Tony Bruggeman of Ft. Wayne was winner the third year and last year Homer Davidson of Marion carried home the title. Mossier will award the 1928 champion Indiana Golf Association trophy. Western Golf Association rules will govern the play. Entries should be mailed to A. E. Smith at the Ft.

pennant during the current home stand. They did well against Milwaukee at that, winning three and losing two, and fans who witnessed Friday’s game will tell you Umpire Rue unintentionally robbed the Indians of an excellent chance of winning the series finale. At any rate his ridiculous decision in the sixth probably had an important bearing on the game’s outcome. Batch Drops Ball With two out and Comorosky on second and Layne on first, Warstler grounded to O. Miller at short and Miller threw to Batch, covering second. The ball bounced out of Batch's glove the same as if the mitt was made of rubber and players of both teams thought all hands were safe, filling the bases. Suddenly Umpire Rue indicated Layne was out. The muff was so plain all sport writers, including two from Milwaukee, thought there must have been interference by Layne sliding into the bag, though they faled to discern it. But Rue ruled “no interference, just out,” because, he said, “Batch held the ball momentarily.” Spenctr Hits Hower The Indians protested and Rue was struck on the foot by a pop bottle hurled from the stand, but his verdict stood. Roy Spencer came up to open the next inning for the Tribe and swatted a home run. And this caused the fans to feel Roy might have hit that homer in the sixth with the bases loaded Umpire Ruue’s mistake. His honesty is not questioned. Spencer and Comorosky poled homers for the Indians and Lnce hit one for Milwaukee. Herman Layne got three singles and a double. Fred Haney was spiked on the right leg In the sixth when he caught McMenemy sliding to third. The wound forced Fred to leave the game the next Inning. He turned In some remarkable feats around the hot corner. Comorosky’s fielding was unbelievable. He robbed Pick of a home run In the ninth by backing against the right field fence and leaping high to snare the sphere at the top of the screen. Bevo Lebourveau will tell you the A. A. Is his only love. He got only four hits Friday two singles a double and trlpple. He is one '‘sweet” swatter. The Brewers got two runs on the fiukiest kind of a double In the sixth. It was a pop fly. wdnd blown, that fell just out of Warstler's reach near the foul line back of third and rolled away for According to R. Bennett Bean, a professor of anatomy, who has analyzed the measurements of 1,022 groups of people of live continents nutrition fixes the stature of races People living near the sea get too much iodine and tend to short stature: inland people get lime, which makes for long bones.

The reason of Huggins’ glee is that he knows the value of a relief man able to sto pthe opposition when the starting pitcher weakens. And then the world series is getting nearer. “You know it is great to have a pitcher in the bullpen who can step in and stop a team when it starts to hit,” he said here just before the Yankees left on a road trip. "It doesn’t make any difference how good my starting pitchers arc, they're bound to have to go out some days and then Cy can step in and do his stuff. The way he has been doing relief work lately shows he is back in his 1927 form, and you know what kind of a pitcher he was last year.”

Bad Dreams Bother Tex; Gets Ideas Rickard, Tunney Start Blaming Bad Gate on Each Other. BY HARRY FERGUSON. Lnited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 28.—Tex Rickard completed his plans today for insuring himself against financial disaster in future battles of th® century. They were: 1. Give no fighter a guarantee. 2. Hold no more heavyweight championship bouts in July. 3. Refuse to allow his fights to be broadcast. 4. Try to find somebody who can give Gene Tunney an interesting battle. It will be easy for Rickard to go through with two of his four ideas. He already has arranged the matter of not handing out fat guarantees like he did to Tunney and Tom Heeney. The $625,000 that he paid the two heavyweights just about took all the money that came in at the box office. And Rickard can see to it no more championship oouts are held in July. He can hold them any time he wants to, for from now on Rickard is not going to take advice from any one. He insists he staged the Tunnpy-Heeney bout in July to satisfy the champion. Just why Tunney preferred to have this year’s boijtt in that month remains a mystery. Richard says it cost him $155,000 —the amount he lost on the bout—to listen to Tunney. The champion says Rickard lost $155,000 because he did not pay attention to business, whatever that means. Rickard may have more trouble m carrying out his two other ideas. His idea is that the broadcasting companies should pay, and pay well, for the privilege of puting the fights on their air. Rickard probably will devote the next two months to coming to some sort of an agreement with the broadcasting concerns. His fourth idea is going to prove the hardest of the four to put into execution. Rickard would like to have a 1928 mpdel ,of the Jack Dempsey of 1922, He wants a hitter who can match blows with the new Tunney. And in Rickard’s troubled dreams the only names that run through his head are Sharkey. Loughran, Delaney. Risko, Paolino and Hansen. Heeney can whip them all and what Tunney can do to Heeney is history. SAYS RADIO HELPS Aylesworth Has Different Reason for Low Fight Attendance. Pj/ I nitrd Press NEW YORK. July 28.—The boxing game has been helped by broadcasting, said Merlin 11. Aylesworth, president of the National Broadcasting Company. “The radio ft one of the great mediums of advertising and the boxing game can use such advertising,"’ Aylesworth said. “Take the Tunney-Heeney fight for example. I am not a fight expert, but it looks to me as if the reason it was a financial failure was that many of the regular fans though it was going to be a dull fight, not worth going to. “Tex Rickard knows what the radio has done and is doing for his garni* and I am sure he will not want to shut the radio out.”
