BOBBY JONES EASILY
SETS PACE WITH 143

SHORT HILLS, N. j., September Is.
Two Joneses-youthful golfers of
the North and South---were among 80
players surviving for today's first
round of match play in the national
amateur golf championship at Bal
tusrol.
Robert Tyre Jones Of Atlanta is
seeking to win the title for the third
consecutive year.
Dick Jones of New York in the 1925
tournament beat Roland Mackenzie,
the medalist, and Lauren Upson, and
reached the semi-finals, where he was
beaten by Bobby's Atlanta chum,
Watts Gum.
Bobby won the qualifying medal,
adding a 73 yesterday to his opening
round Of 20. Next came Rudy Knep-
per Of Chicago, four strokes behind.
Restoration Of the qualification field
to 32 players saved many of the stars
yesterday, but Bob Gardner. Walker
cup captain, was left out in the cold.
Today's matches are two rounds at
1S holes, which will leave eight men
to start 36-hole match play tomorrow.
The draw for match play offers the
possibility Of a final between George
Won Elm and Bobby Jones, also of
Chick Evans gratifying his desire to
play Bobby.
The draw follows:
George Won Elm VS.. Ellsworth Augustus.
Max Marston VS.. Maurice Mccarthy
Watts Gum VS.. Jack Westland.
Rudy Knepper VS.. Dexter Cummings.
Koefe Carter vs.. Woody Platt

That match with Jones was my
first bout in six months. had not
been boxing very long at that time
and knew little about the art Of
hitting properly. AS result. ] broke
my hands in every fight in which I
engaged. It seemed my ring days
were limited.
Then I went up into the Maine
woods to engage in the business of
logging with an eye to strengthen
ing the tools of my trade. For six
months I hewed great trees. welded

became as calloused as the feet of
a barefoot farmer boy. My maulers
became larger and stronger. too. And
they seemed to me in good enough
shane to make me confident would
never hurt them again as hurt them
in my previous matches. So I re-
turned from the woods. Returned to
fight Jones.
Although my normal weight at
the time was 40 pounds, l weighed
1SS pounds that day, having accumu-
lated much excess weight while liv-

sweeney IS winner
OF FEATURE BATTLE

Despite three substitutions in the
bouts at Kenilworth Arena last night
the fans got their moneys worth and
then some.
Buzz Saw Sweeney, the Quantico
Marine slugger. buzzed long and loud
in his 12-round go with Ray Mitchell
of New York. who substituted for
Billy Draeko of Germany. Draeko
had an injured hand and arm.
For the first three rounds Mitchell
pasted Sweeney with everything ex-
cept the posts around the ring. and il
seemed only a question Of how Ions
the Leatherneck would last. But the
Buzz Saw still came ripping I'm and
carried the fight to his man through
out. After the third round Mitchell
was content to use a left jab to the
face, which proved somewhat distract
ing to Sweeney but not particularly
harmful. Sweeney's aggressiveness
throughout earned him the decision.
Wee Willie Woods, champion ny.
weight of Scotland, must have left all
he knew about the game OH the other
side Of the pond. because he showed
absolutely nothing in his 10-round go
with Young Dencio. Dencio was "a
veritable streak in comparison with
his opponent, who absorbed plenty of

as the second round. Woods substi-

NUMBER 10.
By the Associated Press.
Jess Willard found it very hard to
relax in the bout in which he was
knocked out by Jack Dempsey at
Toledo, July 4, 1919.
The only respite the champion was
able to gain was when he was knock
ed down. This was often enough, but
the minutes in between were SO
filled with action that the big fellow
could not rest when he went to bed
on the canvas.
When Willard was felled for the
seventh time in the first round,
Dempsey thought that he had won
and left the ring. However, the bell
saved Jess for the moment, and the
agony was prolonged until the bell
sounded for the fourth round, when
a towel was tossed in as a token of
defeat.
Mrs. Willard, seeing fight for the
first time, did not like it. She said
afterward that she was sorry that
her husband had been defeated, but
glad that he was no longer champion.
Jack Kearns, then Dempsey's man.
ager. said that his protege was a real
champion.
Dempsey will prove popular
champion" was prediction made by
Kearns Immediately after the cham
pionship was won.
The weather for the bout was sea-

DEMPSEY STARTING
FINAL GRIND TODAY

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., September
15.-With the gates closed to the pub
lie, Jack Dempsey started on his final
stretch of training today.
Guards were stationed at the en-
frances of the greyhound racing track
with instructions to permit nobody to
enter with the exception of newspaper
correspondents.
Dempsey will work out before the
critics again tomorrow and on Friday
he will take another lay-off. Then, on
Saturday, the workouts will become
strictly private, with even the news
paper men barred.
While there are rumorS that Demp-
sey intends to perfect some new mys-
terious punch or defense, he says he
merely desires .. to go through his
PAGES unhampered by prying eyes.
The camp has been disturbed by re-
ports from the coast that Dempseys
health is none too good. Dempsey
laughs these reports off. His appear
ance and playfulness indicate per-
feet health, Tom Gibbons thinks
the champion is in as good shape as
he was when he fought Tom.
Two additional guards have been
stationed at Dempsey's bungalow to
prevent trouble.
Two detective sergeants from New
York are aiding two detectives from
Chicago.

seven fights in ten years, against my
six battles in seven years.
Dope on Other Champs.
Jim Corbett won in 1892. In 1894 he
| defended against Charlie Mitchell. In
| 1897, fighting the second time in five
| years, he was beaten by Bob FitZ
simmons. And I'itZ, who won in 1897
never fought again until 1899-a two
year lapse-When Jim Jeffries beat
him.
| Jeff's championship lasted from
| 1899 to 1910-an 11-year stretch. In
that time he fought Jim Corbett
(twice). Bob Fitzsimmons: Jack Nun
! roe, Tom Sharkey. Jack Johnson and
Gus Rubin, in addition to exhibition
or benefit battles against Joe Ken
nedy, Jack Finnegan and Hank
Griffin. Therefore. Jeff's total of real
| defense battles was seven in II years,
against my six in sea sons.
Johnson, the winner in 1910, met
Jim Flynn in 1912, Frank Moran in
| 1914 and Jess Willard in 1915-three
| fights in five years, exclusive of two
| workouts, one with A. Sprowl, and
the other with Jim Johnson.
Jess Willard, the 1915 winner. met
and won from Frank Moran in 1916
and then took" Jess in 1919, which
! meant that IN TOUR years ne 1ought

Willing To Fight Oftener.
| My record embraces Miske, Bren

and on the 23d the name Of Tunney

yond the men above-and Harry
Wills-there has been no one the
promoters would toss in with me. I
was willing to give any in that list a
second shot, but no promoter wanted
to take the gamble. And no promoter
ever made a real offer for me to tackle
Wills.
And yet with six fights in seven
