In the morning they rose. and after.

automobile ride around Long Island.
. Yet the talk was not of golf or
course, Bob had II back in his head.
but he didn't give any outward sign
! until the car drew up at the portals
Of the Inwood Club. About IL O'Clock
on that Sunday Bob Jones won the
" hours Francis Ouimet and Bob
Jones had been together. The ex-
champion and the champion to- be did
not talk golf
Then the play-off. Francis could
not give Bob advice. He would not
have tried. for he is too good sports
man to violate any Of the ethics OF
the game in the smallest degree. And
the two Ecbs came down to the last
hole all square. with the balance

Robb!.s Great Iron Shot.
Francis Ouimet, his friend, Tom
Logan. and Thomas B. Payne of the
United States Golf Association con-
stituted the little group that hung
together all through the round. And
when Francis looked at Bob Jones
lie for that iron shot he stepped back.
his face white as a ghost. His jaw
dropped when he scw Jones take his
long iron. and dropped farther when
he saw the ball, rising on a long.
straight flight, carry the water hazard
and crop within a putt of the hole.
! wonder what Francis thoughts
were at that moment. He said he
couldn't describe them, buy he had
hope and faith in the ability and
nerve of his friend, Bob Jones.
At the end, when Bob had holed the
winning putt. little flushed, little
nervous and very f1usterSd Bob
Jones ran over to Francis with the

To Flossmoor the two friends Vent.
and in the gallery which followed
Bob Jones that hot day against Max
Marston was Francis Ouimet. He saw
his stocky little friend. after 4 bril-
liant round Of 30 in the morning. so
down fighting in the afternoon
against the unbeatab BILE game of the
new champion. And again Francis
face turned white. this time at seeing
his friend lose another chance at The
teur championships.
Three days later Francis himself
met the same imperturhable Mar
ston. And Francis went down. fight
ing grimly against a series of puts
that raped against the bottom of the
tin, spelling defeat for the ex-holder
of the title while in the gallery
that followed him was Bob Jones, ac-
companied by Big Bob Jones. father
of the open champion, and a pal of
his son.
Few friendships in any sport have
had the steadfastness or the feeling
of the comradeship between this pair
of fine Sportsmen. Francis wants Bob

with the same intensity. Bob's
chance has set to come. Francis

but in any event the loser will be
