that was paired with Bobby Jones
for the championship proper.
/ cannot describe my feelings as:
we started out together on the first
round. Jones always attracts q
large gallery. We are about the
caught the eye OF the gallery.
Anyhow, I know was very Jn.
comfortable. The gallery didn't
bother me so much as Bobby did.
I stood in awe Of him and was.
frightened for fear I would do
something to upset hie game. He.
was recognised as q grand golfer.
and everybody wanted to see him
DO well. So did I, but was fear.
full that might do something
wrong.
can easily understand now why
many good golfers are thrown of
their games when playing with those
who are recognized e. their supe-
riors.
Bobby was q wonderful playing

i began to have some fun out Of
the game. Also / began to watch
Jones.
ALTHOUGH he is q little younger
than /. he has had more experience
ara more schooling in the game. I
had heard hts disposition tor golk,
was not as good as It, might be.
JONES, FADEAWAY SHOT.
That's absurd. Nothing could BE-
further from the truth. I found
Jones to be not only great golfer
but one OF the best-tempered boys
and one Of the finest spertsn1en I
ever played with.

I went back to Titusville and
practiced some more mostly on
Jones's n1ashie shot and Hagen's
mashie irbn. The next important
tournament for me was the Pro-
Hessionai Golfers championship at
the InWood Country Club. This IL
the course on which the National
Open viii be played next year. It's
q wonderful links which I greatly
enjoyed playing.
In the very first round met
Harry hampton. one Of the great
est match play golfers in the
world. There's nothing about the
game this fellow doesn't know and
Il he could convince himself that
share OF tournaments.
During the first part Of the
match 1 had i've threes in q row.
We think that II pretty good. Yet
Hampton lost only two holes. ]
was greatly relieved when that
match had ended and was re.
turned the victor. never would
have won IL Hampton had been
putting at all.
The next day or In the next
round was scheduled to meet
Jock Hutchinson. British Open
