He had a long drive. straight down
the fairway, a prodigious iron shot
of ITO yards that landed a little over
five feet from the pin, and then the
putt. which he sank.
Jones today was shooting tho great
est golf of his career. But for the bad
luck that found him on that eight
zenith hole this afternoon he would
be the open champion of the nation.
Even with the unlucky shots on the
sixteenth and seventeenth that cost
him two strokes he would have been
out front but for an unfortunate lie
on his second shot. The ball fell into

extras" and, all in all, that it was
curiously like the machine into which
three men had hoped last Thursday

gas station at 27th and P streets.
He had noticed that the gasoline
distributing point was dark. ard
from his place across the street saw
figure climbing out the window. AS

and two others joined him and es-
capped in the automobile, scattering
spark plugs all over the street mean

picked up the men yesterday on Pop
lar street in Georgetown.

been overlooked and some very enjoy
able evenings have been spent in this

year were the social given by the
Knights of Pythias and the picnic at
Red Banks.
The Sisters, under the direction OF
Mr.. w. M. Calvert, are now rehearsing
