 Robert P. Jones. ST., of Atlanta, the conqueror of Reuben c. Bush of New Orleans, yesterday. MT. Bush won the Roebuck Springs tournament last year and his elimination by MT Jones was a distinct surprise yesterday afternoon, year-old phenom, also upset the dope by trouncing Perry Adair, the far-famed youngster of Atlanta, up and ? to play. If William Badham is defeated this morning it is a certainty that Robert P. Jones, Sr., will clash in the finals at o'clock in the afternoon with his 15-year- old son, as the wiseacres pick the young ster to defeat Scott Probasco of Chatta- nooga.

 SurprlSe or tournament Probably the greatest surprise of tho tournament was the elimination of Reu- ben G. Bush of New Orleans and J. H. Doughty of Birmingham. MT. Doughty brought in the lowest medal score on Thursday by turning in card of 80, but yesterday afternoon after winning the first round by default he was eliminated by William Badham in a brilliant match, up and 1 to play.
 V. Q. Prowell, who was next to Mir. Doughty Thursday in the medal play with card of S3, was eliminated in the first round by Perry Adafr, up and to play. Young Adair's card was an s2, and was said to be the lowest of the days scores. In the afternoon Mir. Prowell again was defeated in the first flight of the conso- lation round by David Robert, Jr., 6 up and to play.
 In the morning round Reuben G. Bush easily disposed of Herbert Tutwiler, 8 up and to play. but in the afternoon Robert P. Jones, ST., of Atlanta lowered the colors of the New Orleans champion, up and to play. The result astounded the gallery who were following the for tunes of Mr. Bush very closely, as 1t had been predicted that the New Orleans golfer would reepat his victory of last year and carry off the championship cup. Hopes Rest on William Badham Tn eelimination of Bush and Doughty practically left the field to William Bad ham and the Jones' father and son. MT. Badham has played excellent golf so fa- during the tourney and on his present form should defeat Jones, Sr., this morn ing and win the championship from either Scott Probasco of Chattanooga, or Jones, Jr., in the afternoon. The hopes of Birmingham rests on MT Badham, as he is the only representative of the Magic City left in the first flight of match play. A Secretary of the course, John M. Inglis expressed satisfaction yesterday at the businesslike manner in which the golfers appeared at the tee at the appointed time. There was no hitch in the programme. The first batch of players appeared promptly at o'clock yesterday morning and four hours later the second round started. At promptly 6:30 o'clock last night the last card was turned in and it was found that the schedule of John Inglis had been maintained to the minute. There was little wind on the links yes terday and the playing was much im- proved. It was cool and the golfers re- marked on the favorable weather. Following the matches of the afternoon the golfers enjoyed the pool and the crowd of athletic swimmers were aug mented by several of the fair sex who in their varied colored suits lent charm to an enchanting scene As the gallery had enjoyed the golfing so 1t later enjoyed the swimming. A pleasing concert by the club orchestra further delighted the visi- tors.
 Secretary w. G. McMeekin of the Roe buck club announced last night that im- mediately following the championship match tomorrow afternoon there would be a dance in the club rooms. The dance will begin at o'clock.
 Mr. Inglis announced last night that the championship match would begin at O clock. It Is expected that there will be a large gallery to follow the contestants around the course.
