who keeps it in such wonderful condi-
ton.
The champion started against Gum
as he left off in his victorious match
with Won Elm yesterday-playing ire
mendous drives and sensational APP
proaches-but he found that the youth
was with him on every great shot.
Gums eyes showed the ba tile that
was in him as he walked briskly down
the fairway in the wake of his power
full drive at the first hole. Jones
mashie dropped rs feet from the
green. but the youngsters second bet
ter. only Is feet from the cup itself.
Bobby, with his first trouble in view,
was as the Jones of the past few
years, dead to the pin, and he halved
with a birdie 4.
Again driving beautifully, there was
no choice, and they went down at the
what at that time appeared to be a
fight to the finish. The third also
found neither giving an inch.
But at the fourth, A long journey
of $40 yards, there came a rift in the
battle, with youth triumphant, for
there Gum nodded an eagle, one OF
the tournament best PLAYED holes.
His iron shot. after a stupendous
drive, halted within 10 feet OF its goal
and the putt went down to the ac-
compartment of the first great out.
burst from the gallery. Bobby. trap
ped to the right on his second. played
one of his poorest pitch shots, and was
over the green into another trap. A
) placed him hole behind, position
that he seldom has known.
Jones Then Takes Lead.
Such condition could not last
long and on the next hole the cham
pion issued forth one of his great
pitches and sank the ball for a birdie
3, which Gum could not meet, and at
the short sixth he again equaled the
allotted figures, while Gum was com
PEELED to play his second from an un-
certain lie at the edge of a bunker
and he required two puts for a 4.
Baby was / up. Others of greater
fame than young Gum had known
what it was to have Jones once in
the lead-a man who never could be
headed in match play. But Gum was
new to this sort of play and he
evened the match at the seventh with
a par 4, while his adversary came out
of a trap on his third too short for
a win.
Again JOKES won at the 6iSDtn, Il
222-yard matter, with a par 3, play
ing perfectly through the clipped
grass, and was ! up when Gum s
second putt overran the cup by a
foot. But the match returned to
even at the ninth, when Bobby
missed "a putt of feet.
Rounding the turn, Gum went
into the lead with a chip from a posi-
ton yards short of the green. He
missed the cup by 6 inches, but was
down in 4. while the champion, after
pitching 10 feet beyond the flag,
missed the putt that would have given
him half.
Haive Both Eleventh and Twelfth.
At the eleventh Gum retained his
1-hole advantage by halying in 4,
both having difficulty with their sec
onds. which found traps, and the long
twelfth gave the same decision, al
though Bobby dropped a 20.foot putt
after recovering from a trap at the
green.
Once more they were square at
the thirteenth and the gallery fully
believed that. despite Jones ability
and experience in championship play,
the match would be carried to the
| final green, for Gum had performed
beyond all expectations, his ac-
auaintance with his opponent, per-
haps, having much to do with his
apparent confidence. Jones dropped
