JONES WINS ]. S.
OPEN E,1LE over
PRO. CRu|KSHANk

Inwood, July 15-(By A. Pro-
bert T. Bobby" Jonees, Jr., a sun
Drowned boy from Dixie, became the
open golf champion Of America to-
day. defeating Robert Allen Cruik-
shank, Scotch professional OF the
Shackamaxon Country Club, West
field, n. j., by two strokes in the
play-off of tie that existed yester-
day at the end OF the regular e
hole championship round. Jones
took rs and Cruikshank 7S.
Jones, an ameteur of Atlanta, Ga.
came into the title he long had
sought on the 18th and very last
hole, ending one of the most drama
/ tic contests in the quarter OF a CEN
fury of title history. In the long.
winning battle over green, rough.
tee, fairway and trap. the>Georgian
was pitted against master golfer. a
great fighter and sportsman. And
Robert Allen Cruikshank was glo-
rious loser.
Both the Georgian and the Scot,
at the end of the rounds yesterday
in which Il golfers competed were
tied with 296 strokes. That tie
came into being on the 18th green.
Jones, with the championship ready
i'll luck and had taken six strokes;
there Cruikshank almost hopelessly
defeated had made birdie three to
square the stroke out.
Thrilling enough as far as the
18th hole, were the Scot, with a re-
markable recovery from a trap and
a four foot putt. squared the match,
the play-off developed epochal ele-
ments on the last hole. Cruik-
shank's eighteenth tee shot, half
topped, landed behind a clump of
trees and to the left of the fairway.
Jones. 100 yards longer with his
drive, lay in tough, parched grass
six feet 10 the right OF the fairway.
Cruikshank played safely. pitching
% yards short of the brook guarding
!; the green.
Jones selected his iron. a heavy
one, took q mighty swing. the ball
hit the green dead for the cup, ran
slightly to the left of it and rested
four feet away.
The southern boy needed to hole
/ his putt for birdie, and two puts
would put him down in four, almost
certainly to win. But Cruikshank
! had a chance to tie, slim as it was.
If he could pitch to the pin and hole
his putt. Jones would need the
birdie to win.
The Scot drew a long breath. He
studied almost every inch of the
ground up to the cup, smiled. set
himself and shot. His ball hit the
green, but rolled into Shallow trap
! to the left. He had to hole from
! there or be certain of defeat. Again
7 he studied the terrain. again he
smiled and shot. The Ea'l over-ran
| the cup ID feet. There wasn't the
| ghost of chance left but he putted
| and missed.
Then he walked to Jones to con-
graduate him. signifying that he
| conceded defeat. But Jones elected
to putt it out. The Albanian I.ayed
! safe. rolling his ball to the edge OF
! the cup and sinking it in four.
There we've more than 10000
| spectators around the green to cheer
, the boy from Georgia as he realized
his great ambition. and captured the
premier crown of American golf
dom. worn last year by Gene Sara

Former Champions
Expected to See
Leonard endler Bout

Four former worlds lightweight
champions are expected as guests OF
the Cromwell A. c., at the Leonard
Tender Worlds Lightweight Cham
pionship contest on July % at the
Yankee stadium. The former kings
of the lightweight division, Freddie
Welsh, Willie Richie, Ad Wolgast
and Battling Nelson. will see a title
retained or change hands which will
be worth to it's holder, during the
next two years in the neighborhood
OF a million dollars-more than some
of them earned during many years
as champions and participating in
many battles which made pugilistic
history.
Nelson will recall the historic bat
tie in San Francisco in 1910 when he
uncrowned that wonderful little
gladiator Joe Cans; Wolgasts menu
DRY will take him back to the day
in 1912 at Port Richmond. Cal. when
he tumbled Nelson from his pedestal.
Ritchie will visualize the terrific
fight he had to make to whip Wolgast
in California in 1914; Freddie Welsh.
master boxer of 'em all, will recall
the day in London he defeated
Richie. The present champion
Benny Leonard may. from the ring,
wave a greeting to the former light
weight champions and recall. In
memory, the day he won the worlds
title from Freddie Welsh lin New
York City at Manhattan Casino and
Lew Tender will probably be Won

that night, he wiz be the new cham
piOn.
And with Nelson, Wolgast, Richie
and Welsh, in the ringside seats will
be the champions of other divisions
Of pugilism. Jack Dempsey has
made reservations for himself and
party of four; Gene Tunney will be
an interested spectator; Mike Nc
Tisue picked a good seat; Mickey

AUGUSTA HAD
GOLF CLUB IN 1909

Augusta had one OF the early golf
clubs of the State. This was back in
1909. 1t is hard to realize that the golf
links at that time were located where
the Lincoln grammar school building
now stands. At that time there was
4 large open space sufficient for nine
holes. This section is now filled in
With residences in addition to the
school building. In fact. the gradual
cncroachment upon the vacant spot
sealed the doom of the club. for after
too many houses were started there
was no room to play golf and the club
eventually disbanded. But before Who'll
ly throwing up the game the members
journeyed down to the 0akiands at
Gardiner. and on this large estate they
knocked the ball to their hearts con-
tent. until it was finally decided to
pillow a part OF this estate for other
purposes Then the nearest links were
ut Brunswick and a few of the men,
ners from time to time went to that
town to try conclusions with some of
the apt players of that place.
Leslie c. Cornish. now chief justice
of the supreme judicial court OF Maine.
was the president of this early Au-
gusta golf club. and very creditable
player. Thomas A. Cooper was secre-
tary and treas The star player of
the group was Rev. Henry l.. Dunnack.
now state Librarian, who at that time
was strenuously seeking physical ex-
ercise.
Other members Of the club were
Lewis A. Burieigh, Fred G. kinsman
Gen. Seldom Conner. Fremont J. c. Lit
tie. Frederick A. Munster. Melvin s.
Holway, Herbert l.. Sherburne. f. May
nard Thompson, Thomas Leigh. Charles
+. Cook. Charles e. Downing, Frank G.
Harrington, George +. Jones. Frederick

sett, Rev. George F. Degan, Samuel c.
Manley, Joseph n. Bridge. DR.. George
T.. Friend, Joseph Williamson. Dr.
Richard e. Stubs. Judge Benedict +.
Maher and Harry y. Flynt.
Several members OF the old golf club
have died, and others. in the whirl or
time. have become busy with other in
terests, so that comparatively few or
the former organization now belong to
the Augusta Country Club. which now
fiourishes at Lake Cobbosseecontee.
Walter Emerson, the we'll known
writer, came from Portland and laid
out the links of the old Augusta golf
club. and the lease Of the land was ac-
ouired for $40 a season. The Augusta
golf team at that time played with
brunswick on several occasions. but
was never able to come back home
victor.

The difference of about $4,000 be-

that gate keepers were unable to

Besides these "gate-crashers," he
said, there were thousands of police

Remarkable Golf
by Cruikshank Ties
with BObbie Jones

lnwOod, n. Y, July 14.-(By A. Pr
A wee bit OF a Scotchman with the
brawest of golf, made the name of
Robert Cruikshank and the town of
Grantown- -Spey, Scotland, famous
today through one of the greatest
finishes the ancient game has known
in competition. In the final round
of the 12-hole play for the national
open championship Cruikshank shot
within astroke of par, making a nee
essary birdie three on the 18th green
TO tie Robert 4. Jones OF Atlanta,
peer of the worlds amateurs. Both
had cards of 296.
Tomorrow, the Scotchman, 20 years
old and but two years in America as
a professional, will meet Jones over
Is holes of medal play for the title.
1t will be the. eighth play off of a
tie in open championship history.
Never was there q more gallant
fighter on the links than the slightly
built Scot. And never, in the face
of such odds as he had to combat, did
man sail through with such sue
cess. Reverses he had but they did
not unnerve him. Once, near the
end. he faltered to such an extent
that defeat chuckled under his nose.
But he triumphed.
In the first place. young Robert
T. Jones, who has been pounding golf
clubs on the door of national title
dom for several years, went out for
the final round with victory almost
certainly in his grasp. Five thousand
persons about him. cheering him, the
young Albanian slipped a trif1e on the
first nine, making it in Al strokes.
four over par. 1t seemed then that
Jones might lose, but he came back.
Around the second nine he shot per-
feet golf Far down the fairways
went his tee shots. True to the green
sailed his irons and his putting was
par. He made the nine In par So
and was in the lead, Jock Hutchin-
son. the Chicago Scot, who led the
field yesterday, having slipped out
of the picture.
