Yet the Americans realized that
no easy task confronted them. Their
friendly enemies proved themselves
formidable foes in stern chase IN
several foursomes yesterday. ANY
golfer that can reduce Il seven-hole
lead of the brilliant Bobby Jones and
Jesse Sweetser TO three holes, as w.

from Illinois. made the invaders all
the more determined.

Jones Plays Wethered.
Bobby Jones of Atlanta had as an op-

together for the qualifying round at
