champion Of the United States and

iey Georgia state champion. The

ly simple twist OF the wrist sent his

executive committee of the United
States Golf association at whose invi-
tation the British star was here, ref
creed the match. Miss Alexa Stirling,
former national women's champion was
in the big gallery following the match.
The British slugger did some OF the
most impressive driving seen ON the
East Lake court. On most of the long
holes he was farther from the tee than
the United States champion but the
deadly accuracy Of Jones irons left
little to choose between them.
Have First Hole
The first hole was halved in par
four. A par three for Jones against
Tolley's four on the short put the At
lanta team ahead but Tolley drove
nearly 30 yards on the third and his
birdie three squared It. Jones was in
trouble on the fourth while Tolley was
getting a par four and Tolley's birdie
four won the fifth. Jones had the
only par ON the sixth and all hands
wound up with par fours on the seventh.
Tolley was off with tremendous drive
on the eighth but his ball kicked against
the ninth tee and left him almost
stymied by huge tree. He pitched a
sensational niblick over the obstruction
and was almost. on the green, but Jones,
with an almost perfect drive and sec
ond WIS pin high and holed long putt
for birdie three. Tolley came back
with birdie four on the ninth.
81 Tenth Halved
The tenth was halved in par four and
the same thing happened with par
threes on the eleventh and par tours on
the 18th and 18th. Jones broke through
with a birdie four on the 18th but
was in trouble on the 10th where
both Tolley and Adair had par fives.
The 18th was halved in par four and
both Tolley and Jones took one over
par on the 18th.
None of the drives on the 205-yard
home hole reached the green, Jones'
ball resting ON top of trap. He played
from there almost in the cup, one Of
the two most sensational performances
of the exciting round, perhaps. The
other was credited to TolIey on the
fifth when he was on the green of the
