Although his draw was claimed

Jones had tough boys to beat in

in each case he knew a bit more
golf than they did so he reached
the penultimate round with Bill
Fownes. The strain of Sc holes of

heavily on Bill. He proved no

round.
The lower half was different.
Trouble makers were scattered all

nificent results. 1t took everything

Youth Wins Out.
Jones can play all shots with the
skill of master and the confidence
so noticeable in youth. That he
did not win this year means little
while his achievement of reaching
the finals portends much. We have
no doubt that many a champion
ship will fall to his skill and moth
ing will contribute more to their
winning than the experience he is
now getting. Just a word about
his temperament, for Bobby has
been freely criticised for displays of
temper. To me this seems unfair.
The only time Bobby becomes
disturbed at himself is when he is
we'll ahead of his opponent. When
"down" one finds Jones cool, calm
and determined player; not the hot
headed type that press stories
would have us believe he is. The
fact that he gets mad when he is
leading seems to me to give him
added fighting spirit. Bobby Jones
is good sportsman and a corking
fine golfer.
Now about Dave Heron, the big,
good-natured Pittsburgh boy, who
has every reason to feel proud of
his victory. 1t was by far the most
difficult championship of any yet
held both as to number and quality
of the entries and the test required
of players. His outstanding golf
characteristic is disposition. / don't
think Dave Heron could get dis
turbed over anything.
He drives a tremendously long
ball and, what is morS important,
keeps it straight. His swing is
graceful and beautifully timed. His
irons are firm and have a sting
to them and his mashie pitches are
excellent.

Pesek and Londos are to wrestle

odds over Londos.
Cutler is the famous veteran who

But, like Joe Stecher. Pesek
proved equal to the test. He de-
feated Cutler in two straight falls.
What is more, at the conclusion OF
the match Cutler publicly announced
that he believed Pesek was the COM
ing champion.
For that reason those who know
wrestling will favor Pesek over Jim
Londos in their Omaha match.
Londos will have his followers,
though, for he made good impress
