Chick Evans and Ned AlliS
Also Clash To-Day on
RoSlyn Links.
By William abbott.

THE meeting Of Bobby Jones, the
boy wonder from the South,
and Francis Ouimet in the
semi-hnals for the National amateur
to-day on the Engineers Club course
should produce one OF the greatest
battles every fought on American
links. For thrills and brilliancy OF
shots It ought to be reproduction of
the famous Ouimet-Evans clash at
oalomont last year that was only
decided by a hve-foot putt on the
home green.
The other match to-day brings
together Evans and Ned Allis of Mil
waukee. This affair, according to all
angles Of the dope, should be nice
comfortable warm-up for Evans. The
outcome OF the Jones-Ouimet scrap,
however, is a horse of another color.
When the final returns are in 1t will
he the breaks that decided the Issue,
as the two stars are too evenly rated
to encourage any confident predict
ing. And there will likely be ..her-
Gus breaks. little sudden twists OF
LUCK, for never was the amateur
classic held on any course that was
such a gamble with fate as the En-
gineers' course with it's severe danger
spots and difficult rolling green's.
1t is now well-known golf history
how Francis Ouimet. when twenty
one, came out OF obscurity with his
memorable defeat of Vardon and Ray
at Brookline in 1918 in the play -off
for the National Open Championship
The following year at Ekwanok the
Boston star won the amateur blue
ribbon, defeating Jerry Travers in
the finals. That same year Ouimet
made an Inflated trip to Great Brit
ain.
Bobby Jones. eighteen last March,
has been a sporting phenomenon.
Scldy as a child, the boy from At
lanta took up the game of golf when
seven as a sort of health restorer.
The youngster must have had a nat
ural ap .itude for the sport When
only twelve he won the Georgia State
championship. Steward Maiden,
, while at the Druid Hills Club at At
lanta, gave Bobby lessons how the
different clubs should be played, but
the little Scotchman takes very little
credit for the finished product. He
| says Jones practically taught himself.
And the game the Southern prodigy
now plays has been pronounced the
soundest of any American amateur
by no less an authority than Walter

BOBBY IONES'S

DECLARES HAGEN
Seven "Threes" Enable South

Best Score of Meet.
BIZ Walter Hagen.

VILE last OIf the DTllAAn BOilSAo
was eliminated from the anna
teur championship at Roslyn
when my friend Tommy Armour, the
Scotch and French champion, was
dropped from the tournament by
Francis OuImet the Boston star.
Tommy told me after the match that
he had simply met a better man and
that he had no excuses to offer. This
may be so, but the Scotchman lost all
OF his advantage on the FIRST six
holes. He dropped the first three in
a row and then the sixth. II left him
fighting an uphill battle all day and
no one can give Francis Ouimet a
start of four holes and catch him.
Armour played his mathematics
rather poorly, | thought. Over in
Scotland II Is mostly the pitch and
run, but here there is need of a high
shot to the green with q lot of back
spin. noticed this particularly on
the short fourteenth hole, where
Ouimet held his tee shot every time
and Tommy skldded over.
The same thing that happened here
happened on many other greens. There
was little left to choose from between
these two through the green. Oulmet
had the edge on the drive most of the
time, but Armour's iron shots we're a
revelation. He sure can play this
shot
The golf displayed by Bobby Jones
was uncanny. Seven "threes" fell his
way. which enabled the Atlanta
youngster to get 70, by far the Lest
performance that has been shown at
the Engineers Club this week. Bobby
swept aside Fred Wright without the
slightest trouble and in doing 80
cleaned out q dangerous man. He
will get a chance at Ouimet to-day
and there are many who believe that
he has a good chance 70 beat him
There were several bets made that
he would win and the odds quoted
were TO 5. l would not be surprised

has so far exhibited the best golf oil

should not lose his nerve against

Rogers Hornsby. the Dodger pitcher
would have scored a shutout
Hornsby was compelled to retire
from the game In the seventh Inning
due to n twisted ankle. Grimes hit

and as Fournier came in to field the
ball, Rogers went to cover first The
pellet was thrown his way ana he
scored a putout on Burleigh. but in
doing so his leg got mixed up In the
initial sack, causing his ankle to

unaided and may be back In the

would call a birdie 8 in the sixth.

JONES AND EVANS HAVE HAD
CLOSE BATTLES.

After cleaning up everything in the
land OF cotton and sand greens Bobby
decided to try for bigger game. He
came North in 1916 and when only
fourteen qualified for the National
championship at Merton and went
through the early rounds. Since that
time Jones ha fought some hot bat
ties with Chick Evans. In the re-
cent Western tournament these two
rivals met in the finals. Evans
barely squeezed out a victory by the
margin Of one hole.
There was apother close decision
when Jones and Evans competed In
the National open at Toledo last
month. Ray won at 295 strokes.
Evans came in with 298 and just one
stroke behind breezed the stocky
figure Of one r. Jones.
While Jones has been hard cam
