they trailed Cornell, vanquished Har-
ward last evening in a four race
on Thames River after Harvard had
won the freshman and junior varsity
two mile contests. The Yale var
sity finished two lengths ahead.
Harvard went into the big race

at even money in the wagers in spite
of shifts and coaching shake-ups.
But the powerful Yale Fights time
was 20 minutes IA 2-5 seconds, a new
record for the upstream route. This
mark has been beaten only three
times before IN the Ga years in which
the annual regattas between these
foes have been held, and the lower
marks were for the downstream
course.
Yale led virtually all the way and
pulled away in the last quarter mile.
after Harvard had cut into Yale's
margin with thrilling squirt, begun
at the three-mile mark
Under Leaders coaching Yale has
won Is races against most of the
leading American college crews, as
well as the pick of foreign oarsmen,
who were conquered as the Ellis raced
to Olympic triumph at Paris in 1924.
In the series with Harvard Yale now
shows 80 victories, while Harvard
has registered 81.
This rowing triumph balanced
some Of the college years score with
Harvard. Yale won at track and
was held to a scoreless tie at foot
ball. Harvard won at hockey and
base ball
Harvard had some measure of con-
ISOLATION. as it won both the fresh.
man and junior varsity races yes
terday.
The official time for the three races
follows:
Varsity a miles)-Yale, 2o:142-5:
Harvard, 20:21-2-5.

| as soon as he was able to swing a
club. His technique was finished
through long years of childhood striv-
ing, and at 10 he qualified in his first
general tournament. That was at
Montgomery, Ala, in 1915, but Bobby
did not reach the third round. A lit
tie more than year later he became
Georgia State golf champion, and the
next year won, for the first time, the
Southern golf title at Birmingham. For
three years Bobby held the Southern
crown and then withdrew from fur
Their competition in that event.
Born here on March II, 1902, Bobby
| was a delicate child and his parents
moved to East Lake. Atlanta suburb,
where they believed the country air
| and sunshine would aid the boy in
his fight for strength. Bobby re-
| acted favorably to the new environ
| ment and to further his physical
training he was initiated into the
game of golf. At 10 he began to
show the remarkable form which has
led him to triumph through his
local victories to the national crowns
and to the best cherished title in
| international golf
With the exception Of two years
at Harvard University where he
graduated in 1924, Bobby had all OF
his schooling here. He went from

completed his first college course at
the Georgia School of Technology.
Needs One More Triumph.
NEW YORK, June 26 Up-Bobby
Jones, Atlanta amateur who cap
tured the British open golf cham
pionship, must win one other ma or
| tournament to make a perfect score.
| That Is the British amateur, which
was captured by Jess Sweetser this
| year.
Jones came into prominence In ma
tional play in 1919 when he was
beaten by Davy Heron, and 4, in
! the final Of the American amateur
| at the Oakmont course near Pitts
burgh. In 1924 he won the anna
teur at Merton and in 1925 repeated
at Oakmont, his victims in the final
| being George Won Elm of Los An
geles and Watts Gum Of Atlanta,
| respectively.
In 1922 Bobby was tied with John
Black as runnerup to Gene SaraZen
in the American open at Skokie and
year later won the title by beat
ing Bobby Cruickshank in a play
off at Inwood. He was second to
Cyril Walker at Oakland Hills in
1924 and last year lost by one stroke
in a 36-hole play-off with Willie
MacFarlane at Worcester, Mass.

MEUSEL WILL BE OUT
OF GAME FOR MONTH

NEW YORK, June 26 C).-In-
jury to Bob MeuseI. left-fielder
of the New York Yankees, which
may keep him out of the game for
a month, is attributed by followers
of the team here to the big Cali
fOrnian's desire to lead his league
in stolen bases.
An attempted theft in the second
game against Boston yesterday re-
suited i'm a broken bone in his left
foot. He had negotiated 13 steals
this season, topping the American
Leaguers in that department of
play.
Meusel is regarded as a slugger
and was one of the principal cOgs
in the great batting machine Miller
Higgins has gathered together.
While he is out of the game. Ben
Paschal and Roy Carlyle, the latter
recently picked up from the Red
SOx. probably will appear i'm the
OutfieId.

But the British really are demon
strative. They removed the lid of
the clubhouse just as Phil Kelse
warned the writer they would do If
Bobby won.
Jones is the worlds most lovable
sportsman" Kelse said. This is
the most popular golfing victory I
have ever seen in Great Britain"
And there was John Morris of Hoy
Lake, the oldest professional in golf
today, shaking Bobby's hand as the
word came that the Hagen had to
do two threes to tie him.
And there were all the members
of Britain's triumvirate of the last
generation-Harry Vardon, James
Braid and J. Fl. Taylor-with 16
British championships among them.
Then there were Ted Ray, George
DsAcaD. the brilliant Scot. and
Harold Hilton. the distinguished
veteran of all the amateurs, not to
mention Darwin. the grandson Of the
famous naturalist and one of the
finest golf writer's in the world-all
crowding about the quiet boy to do
him honor. Hilton waXed senti-
mental.
How love that boy" he said.
Hes the finest golfer in the world,
but he's a finer boy than he Is a
golfer. Only true soul could look
out of eyes like his"
Bobby. the most modest of all
champions, made a fine speech later
when he was presented with the cup
and the great gold medal of the cham
pionship.
81 am proudest of all to know that
my name is going on this wonderful
old cup, with the names OF Ball, Hill
ton, Vardon, Braid, Taylor, Ray, Herd
and Duncan" said Boldly. Put mine
down at the bottom in the humblest
place you cam find, and I'll be the
happdest golfer in the world"
Bobby seemed all that, but he was
very quiet and modest under the hur-
rIcane Of cheering. and the writer
saw tears come to his eyes more than
once.
It's great to carry off another ma
tons championship, but it's far finer
to carry away the love of the people.
and that's what goes back to Amer.
ica with Bobby Jones, as we'll as the
silver cup and the gold medal Of the
championship.
