ELEMENT OF BOBBY JONES MAKES MASTERS TOURNEY!

Old Slammer No Longer Is Competition

But Golfers Like to Watch Bob Smack the Ball in Even Now.

Out of Competition

the fact that Jones had of competition for three | was made the favorite. | shot some sensational | practice rounds, indicating he had | lost none of the mastery which | had made him the golfing marvel of America and Europe. From Maine to California, the headlines sang . . . “Jones as good as ever.” Two nights before the firing began I was in a hotel room With Walter Hagen, conducting a scientific experiment in corn reduced to liquid form. “I wish Bob had staved in retirement,” mused Hagen. “If he's got any idea he may win this thing he's due for =a brutal disillusionment. He's probably still the best shot-maker in golf but he's going up against a bunch of fellows who are tournament tough and that's where he is going to be handicapped. It's one thing to play golf for fun and quite another to play it when the chips are down.” Hagen's theory was the touring pros. hardened by countless rounds of money golf, would simply go out and take their cut at the ball, this being just another tournament to | them, whereas Jones, conscious of | the spot he was in, would be con- | cerned about the results of his shots, even before he struck the | ball “That's the difference between steady competitive play and an occasional try at it.” | It worked out that way. Off the tee Jones was perfect. The in between shots came off well for him, | too. Where he fell down was on | the exacting chips and on the putting green. It was here the lack of tournament toughness flattended him. The boldness and precision | which had made this part of his | came a thing of beauty and awe in | the past were missing. 1 thought | he did well to finish 10 shots back of the winner, { A vear later

Last spring the Jones had cooled off somewhat, he still brought the top price in| the Calcutta pool, a form .of lot- | tery in which the players are auctioned off. This, however, was scarcely significant. The genileman who bought Jones seemed more | interested in acquiring the distinc- | tion than obtaining a sound invest- | ment. Still there were many who thought Jones would do better than | well, though by what reasoning it | was difficult to say. When the final scores were posted | Jones had finished much nearer the bottom than the top. This time he | was 21 strokes back of Horton Smith, the winner. After three | straight reversals, each increasingly | worse, there could be no further | argument; as RA competitive performer the once great Jones no longer belonged.

Snead Is New Threat At Augusta Open

Times Special AUGUSTA, Ga.. March 31.—The name golfer of the fourth annual Augusta national open may be any of the 50 entries when the show ends Sunday, but as the final practice rounds were played today the one big name was that of Samuel Snead. The one and only Robert T. Jones is here. So is the capabie defending champion, Horton Smith, and a dozen other names that have made golfing news in the past, including formidable Gene Sarazen. But you don’t hear “Bob Jones”
