more to be the battle of Bobby Jones
and a seemingly relentless fate.
Starting early with Hagen on Fri
day. the boy flashed out on his game
es the big strain came on. his drives
ranged out and out, down the narrow
fairways. to ali the distance they
wanted in practice. When he stuck
an iron second on the 425-yard home
green. dropping n twelve-foot putt for
! birdie 3. for "a card of-7l--a stroke
under par-I felt that he was out
in front.
Then here came the Hutch with a
20 that / thought never 20 see on that
tremendous course by anybody in the
championship.
In the golden afternoon, when
Bobby again stepped along with the
great Hagen for nine holes and then
out-footed him on the inward spin,
and closed Il with a nine-foot putt
for another birdie 3 at the last hole.
for a 73, l said tto myself: We'll.
Bobby's in front for the day, any
how"
And here came the Hutch with a
20. He WAS two strokes ahead of
Bobby. only Bobby Cruickshank was
really close, with 73 and 72, stroke
back of Jones. The other favorites had
fallen away. In the press section the
buzz of gossip was to the effect that
it was the Hutch's time; that he had
won everything but the national
open; now he was in front and would
stay there.
When they came to Bobby Jones

he can't win"

I thought of SRokie and back of
that of Columbia, and of Inverness.

Pile were congratulating him. for he
had weakened at his own finish and
had come in 5-5-6.
"rm afraid it isn't good enough"
had been his first words as he came
off the seventy second green. Il made
a rotten finish. I don't deserve to
win"
He never smiled while they told
him Cruickshank could not catch him
now: knew he was thinking that IL
he won the championship that way.
II was less his winning II than
Cruickshank's losing 1T. When they
wanted him to come on down stairs
