Yesterday was a period startling
surprises at Atlanta The great upset
John G. Anderson by Victor Smith a
local golfer, on the nineteenth hole. Al
the same time Louis Jacoby of New Or
leans, victor over Jerry Travers in the
tournament recently held at Dallas,
was taking the measure of the medal
lst, George Adair. But the great sur
prises were stored up for the afternoon
round. Bobby Jones, whom many pick
ed as the probable winner OF the tour
nament, met Jacoby and found the go
ing little too fast for him, very little
but just enough for the verdict to sway
in the direction of the man from the
Crescent city. Jacoby, through Jones
bad tee shots, was one up at theturn,
after and exhibition of rather mediocre
golf. The long tenth was halved in four
as was the equally long eleventh, Jones
playing a great iron shot to the pin
Bobby squared the match on the iron
shot thirteenth with a 3. and the four
teenth was halved in par 4. The youth
from Atlanta stuck an iron shot within
ten feet of the pin on the short nj
teenth, while Jacoby was above the cup
to the right with a tricky, sidehill chip
shot over fast green confronting him.
He made the pitch In the correct man
ner and his ball came to rest dead to
the pin. Bobby tried for 2, but his
putt hit the cup and stayed out. On the
long sixteenth. the Atlanta prodigy
laid his opponent stymie and became
up and 2 to play. Facing defeat,
Jacoby stuck his iron shot to the sew
enteenth, a short hole, dead to the cup
while Jones was off to the left, and
won the hole, squaring the match. Both
were down the alley from the last tee.
Jacoby hooked his brassie second into
the woods, $50 yards from the green.
Jones stuck his second straight down
themiddle and pitched to within eight
cen feet of the cup.
1t looked very lnuch as II the nome en-
try would be on the winning end. Jacoby
was almost hidden in the pines, having
an opening of only two feet clear III
which to shoot his ball 20 the green. $50
Yards away He made the shot, his bah
going through the narrow opening and
coming TO a stop. twenty inches from the
cup Bobby, naturally, went for his 4.
missed. and the match was decided in
favor of Jacoby by virtue of one Of the
shots which golfers dream about
