One Of the best exhibition bouts

lovers Of boxing was staged at the

scheduled TO appear with a string Of
boxers from the motor truck group
which means additional bouts worth
seeing.
Hockbones is here in training for
his bout with Clarence kid" Ross at
Columbus. August %. and there is
much talk OF a bout between Bones
and Speedban Hayden in case Bones
defeats Ross. While Ross has shown
wonderful improvement since his de
feat at the hands OF Hockbones and is
the master Of Bones at boxing, there
is still a very large doubt in the
minds Of fans as to Ross abolity TO
dispose OF the oldtimer. At any rate
the bout should be a hummer.

To WIN TITLE
Amateur Showing
Great Form in Many Red
Cross Matches.

Bobby Jones was playing at Wy
kagylin recently in the Red Cross ex-
hibition with Miss Alexa Stirling. Miss
Elaine Rosenthal and Perry Adair-
He had made the first seven holes in
something like two or three under
tours and as he prepared to drive OH
for the eighth hole two men broke
away from the gallery and as they
walked back toward the club house
one said 10 the other; That boy is
the greatest amateur golfer in the
United States. 1t would not surprise
me a bit If he made a 20 or better
today" The Atlanta wonder made
no such score. but 1t is something for
a player in his teens to be singled out
among the stars Of the present day as
the greatest amateur in the United
States.
Of course, Jones is a little way yet
from being Americas leading golfer
but indications are that he IS on the
way TO the top OF the ladder. Among
the amateurs few have done anything
better than the round Of Il which
Jones made over the links Of the
Ekwanok Country club, Of Manches-
ter, Vt, some days ago. II has 10 be
remembered also that Bobby made
his score during a brief stay OF three
days IN another year or two the
name Of Jones viii be mentioned in
