Amateur Champion and Great

oAKMoNT COUNTRY CLUB,
Pa. Sept. bobby Jones. playing

lead for the qualifying medal in
the national amateur golf cham

cellent "a for q thirty,six-hoie total
of lat, with only Roland Mac
Kenzie, the young Washington
star, TO contest him for the honor.
The latter, going to the turn in
Sc, had a four.stroke lead on Jones
at that point and needed only an
ordinary 80 for the final nine To
beat Jones for the medal.
Meantime, Max Marston, Bob
Gardner and Francis Ouimet. for

eliminated from further considera'

ner 100, while Ouimet took forty
two strokes for the first nine to-
day and seemed headed for the
discard. Bill Fownes, another ex.
champion, was just on the border
line with 1853 strokes.
After going to the turn in an
uneventful SS, Jones suddenly lost
control of his tee shots, and al
though still scoring we'll, it was
noteworthy that he was in four
laps on the final nine holes. The
first of these occasions came at the
G2lyard twelfth, where his drive
nestled in the depths of a yawnin Z
bunker and didn't emerge until the
young man had wasted a stroke
Ultimately he got a s.

He also drove into a trap at the
fourteenth but obliged with a
glittering out to the green and got
a par 4. On the next hole, how,
ever, trapped second shot
prompted HIM to exceed par and
take 5.
Robert took only one putt for
the first time since the opening of
the tournament when he chippped
dead at the short sixteenth, after
being wide of the green from the
tee. Having learned the trick, he
proceeded to repeat it at the seven
tenth.
Here. he drove into a trap and
reached the green only at the ex-
pense of three strokes. but he
neatly dropped a twelve.footer for
his par 4.
Gets Birdie
On the home hole he got a birdie

putter. A long midiron carried
the green and, carefully sighting
the line. Bobby waited a fifteen,
