Robert T. Jones. Atlanta's coming

Bobby's laHrels are some pretty

any too kindly to them, either.
Bobby was . tired. iistless young

returning to this country from his
conquest OF the British open cham
pionship. and just before he went
to Columbus for the battle Of

clubs that claimed to have intro.

They had me making speeches
to the guests at two clubs. qn0
one paper said that I was freely
celebrating the British open win.
Besides that, Bobby Is pestereI

WouId-be-advtsorss and others. He
knows full well that many gOli
clubs would try to capitalize his
ability and for that reason he IS
pretty hard to get for an informal
match. Bobby has played here al
Congressional, whose professional,
Tommy Armour, is one Of Jones
closest friends, and Burning Tree.
There isn't any one in the world
who can take earned honors more
modestiy than Jones' At the same
time, the Albanian knows full wei
that he is a great golfer, and he is his
most severe critic.
He seemed almost pathetic when
he sat with a group Of Burning Tree
and unburdened himself Of SONS o,
his troubles. Among other thiEgs.
Jones has never been able to play
golf without a gallery, and as even
tempered as he Is. there are times

its swift drama centering about the

CHAMPIONSHIPS and the greatest
golfer in the world today.

Jones was a sickly, ailing young

up golf, seeking health along and
finding with 1t the glory Of cham.

Not ; single foreign attraction

nnd the gate was one VI the sad
dest Of years. There wasn't any
cate. There was less than $50

Mfes are generous.
Further. the a. A. U. in Balti-
more Is supposed to supervise
track meets here. Appeal after
appeal from local people fell on
deaf ears In Baltimore. The
priole city promised officials-and
when Il came down TO the pinch
they didn't even send back . list

The entries were sent over In
the registered mail. Responsible A
a. n. officials should have scan.

therefore had not entered. Their
appeal for q post entrance was
