night at the hands Of the fast Cony

The passing OF the Capital City boys

was only by the brilliant playing of
one or two ot the Boys club quintet
that the score was as close as 1t was.
The game started OF slowly and 1t
was pot until the last half that the
players showed real signs of lite. The
visitors lead all the way, the Boys
Club scoring most of their baskets
in the last half, while the opposing
five scored at will by means OF the
clever team work coupled with the
graceful shots of Winslow and Poor
who tied at five all in the scoring.
EerrarS, Stuber Buchanan and lose
starred for the losers garnering two
baskets apiece. sEildreth shot
in two counters, and played great
defensive game.
The crowd was larger than that
of the week before the visitors
bringing a small band OF loyal sup
porters Ihil Talbot offered his
usual efficient job as referee. Before
the game and between the halves

IS STAR
IN GOLF Since
YEAR 1915
Bobby Causes Sensation As
Boy Of ~ BY Brilliant
Play

Robert Tyre Jones. the nineteenth
man to win the national amateur
championship. is now twenty-five
years old, and has been in the lime
light Of golf since 1916. when, a
mere boy OF fourteen and still wear
ing knee pants, he caused a ssnsa-
ton by his feat in setting the pace
for a star field in the first half Of
the qualifying round Of the cham
pionship, which was played that
year at the Merton Cricket Club. He
went as far as the third round,
beating Eben Byers, Of Oakmont, q
former national champion, in the
first round, and Frank w. Dyer, of
Upper Montclair, later a metropoli-
tan champion, in the second round.
In the next round Jones lost to
Robert A. Gardner. Of Hinsdale, 5
and s.
Three years later Bobby appeared
at Oakmont and, defeating Jimmy
Manion, Gardner, Rudy Knepper and
w. C. Fownes, a former champion,
in successive matches, entered the
final round against S. Davidson
Heron, Of the home club. He lost
to Heron by and 4.
The following year Jones appeared
lat the championship held at the
Engineers Club, Roslyn, L. l., and
won the qualifying medal. He pro.
crossed to the semifinal round.
where Ouimet beat him in sensa-
tionaI round, s and s. At st. Louis,
in 1921. Bobby defeated Clarence
Wolff, one Of the Mound. City stars,
and Doctor o. r. Willing, Of Portland,
but in the third round found himself
pitted against Willie Hunter. the
British amateur champion, and was
beaten by 2 and after tense
match.
At Brookline, in 1922 Jones was
one Of the unfortunates who at.
tempted to stem the Sweetser tide
and he received his worst defeat in
any championship event., Sweetser
winning by and z. Last year at
Flossmoor he was beaten by Marston
In the second round. although he
played nearly par golf. Jones had
previously won the qualifying medal
after a play.off against Evans.
The chief fame that has come to
Jones until this year has been his
record as medal player.
His first appearance In national.
open was at Inverness IN 1920,
when his four rounds were 70, "a,
70 and n for a total Of 299, which
gave him eighth place, four shots
behind Ted Ray, the Englishn1an,
who was the winner. AT Columbia
the following year the Georgian
was 800, fourteen shots behind the
winner, Jim Barnes Of Pelham.
In 1892, at Skolkie. Jones was sec.
ond to Gene Sarazen, whose win.
ming total was 28S, against total
Of 2S9 which was jointly made by
Jones and John Black. The next
year Bobby had total Of 296
at Inwood, tying him with Bobby
Cruickshank for the open champion.
ship. After a play.off Jones won
by virtue of a marvellous second
shot to the home green, a long iron
over water hazard, for an easy par

year he was in the thick Of the
fight right up to the last at Oak.

Only the other day Jim FOULS,
who is In charge Of the greens at
Edgewater Club, Chicago, and
whom consider one Of the finest
greenkeepers in the world, said that
he had already begun to plant the
Washington strain OF creeping bent
as part Of his fall seeding program.
There is an Arlington too. Of a
blush hue and these two are most
popular because Of their color, quail
Ity and freedom from brown spots.
Creeping bent IS q grass that
spreads by runners taking root
at the joints and thus forming =
turf. It produces little II any
seed, but is prOpagated almost
entirely by buds at every joint,
which are capable Of producing
plants spreading I'm every direc-
ton. The creeping stems are
called stations.
The ground is prepared as for
Of bent sod is cut into two-inch
pieces; then one Of these pieces Is
cast on ten square feet of green.
The top dressing must be carefully
applied and the green must be
watered every day. In two or
three weeks 1t should be high
enough to cut.
The special merits Of bent grass
are: 1t takes less top dressing
than the other green's, and a less
rich soil; it requires less fertilizer;
1t repairs the havoc wrought by
divots quicker than anything else IN
the world; 1t makes wonderful tees,
and when properly spread out it
has the same speed of green all
over. which Is a capital point.
when the weeds are taken out
Of an ordinary green there is q
tendency to kill the other grass.
but the spreading quality Of bent
crowds the weeds out and they
never como back.
It Is usually necessary to give
two or three weddings to the newly
planted turf, but after that the
least possible wedding is necessary
The one most important thing to
remember Is to keep the whole
newly planted green well watered
until it is well covered with grass.
1t looks as liz the experts had
found the right grass at last. And
the next time you step on tee
and gaze down a beautiful fairway
to a still more beautiful green,
voice a word or two of appreciation
to the men who keep it so.
