BOBBY JONES LEADS

IN GOLF TOURNEY
Boy Wonder , Up on Willie
Hunter in Third Round
at st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Sept. 22.-The sur
vival of the fittest from the first two
match rounds of golf was demon
strated day by the closeness OF the
contests in the third round for the
national amateur championship at
the st. Louis Country Club. None of
the matches varied by more than a
hole or so during the first IS holes
and none of the players took more
than IS strokes for the first nine and
substantially as good scores were
made on the second half
The International struggle between
Willie Hunter, the British Champion.
and Bobby Jones OF Atlanta was the

where he dropped another shot at the
green, but with splendid four on
the long ninth, the champion again
took the lead by one hole.
The battle between the two "Ber-
thas" of golf--Johnston OF st. Paul
and Guilford OF Boston--ran true to
name, both driving far down the fair
ways and reaching the longest hole in
2. But neither was very exact with
the short game. and Guilford, going
out IN 81, turned one up to Johnston,
vino had 3S. Coming home, Gulford
took the l2th hole after Johnston had
squared the match on the 11th.
The Jones-Hunter match was
staged with great formality, four
caddles using American and British
flags to mark the balls of the con-
testants, and James Standish of De-
troit, with a book of rules under his
arm accompanying the players closely
as referee, The judges opinions
were not sought, however, as the GOLF
ers were on the straight line all the
way.
Hunter had the better drive at the
start Jones all but going out of bounds,
but he was barely on the green in two,
while Jones was well inside, but they
halved when the Albanian failed on his
lS-foot putt. Both players pulled to
the trap at the left of the 22l-yard
second green, but Jones Clipped out
dead from a hanging lie, while Hunter
laid himself a half stymie and was IL
feet short. He conceded Jones the
putt and then missed and was one
down
They halved the next four holes In
perfect figures, Jones missing a three
foot putt at the long fifth for a birdie
4. Then Bobby won the baby seventh
with 3, Hunter being wide with his
tee shot and was two up, "A lead he
maintained to the turn, as the eighth
was shared in perfect fours and the
ninth with fine birdie l. Jones had
beaten par 35 by one stroh>, while
the Briton had gone one above per-

A|NES'S GAIN II
IN RECOUNT Of z
VOTING DISTRICTS
He Says He'll Have Nomina-
ton if Proportion Of
Changes Continues.

George w. Olvany. representing
julius Miller in the inspection of the
primary ballots cast last week for
Miller and James j. Hines. this af-
ternoon admitted that out OF - cleo
ton districts Hines has made a gain
or n votes.
| But the forces OF Hines do not
stop at that Their claim and
! Hincs's is that there will be enough
changes to insure the nomination OF
! Hines for Manhattan Borough Presi-
dent
Hines has demonstrated his claims
that frauds were C inmitted to beat
him out OF the nomination. Erasures
in plenty have been found OF the
c-oss marked opposite his name, and
tie substitution of another cross with
, different lead pencil opposite the
name of Miller.
In number OF election districts
where Hines was credited with mo
votes" there have been discovered
numbers Of double headers" This
means that a cross Is marked in front
OF the names of both Hines and Miller.
| The Hines men claim that these
votes were deliberately stolen from
them, and that the different shades
OF lead used to mark the name or
Miller proves conclusively that the
voter voted for Hines.
If these votes are allowed to Hines
on recount, and the proportion OF
changes continues as they have been
shown up thus far, Hines should win
hands down. The Hines forces will
make a desperate nght in this direc-
ton.
In every case where erasures oc-
Cured the votes Intended for Hines
had been counted for Miller. or else
the Hines votes had been nullified.
This was evident on the face Of the
ballots, for in many OF the election
districts Hines wasn't credited with
a single vote.

, viction for perjury. which was later
reversed
Mr.. Gilbert. who is a brother and
partner of A. s. Gilbert formerly

Judge julius NJ. Mayer. asserted the
gifts to the inspector were not i'm
proper. but were merely by way OF
free will appreciation of good advice
given to the Italian American Com
