JONES HAS LITTLE
 LEFT TO CONQUER
Bobby May Equal All Records
 Set Up by Golf Stars

Minneapolis, Aug. 29 P-The in comparable Bobby Jones today may gaze upon the world of golf and view but little left for him to conquer.
 Having won his third national amateur title at Minikahda Satur- day, Jones has only one major title to acquire-the British amateur and three major American golfing records to equal.
 Bobby has yet to win one more United StatesNamateur title to tie the Jerome Travers' mark: and he must capture the American amateur and open championships in the same year to equal Chick Evans achieve ment. In addition, Evans holds an- other golhng mark which Jones has yet to tie-a low of 2S6 to win the national open.
 It was on Minikahda's famous links that Evans in record pace won the national open in 1916 with 2S6

strokes, and for II years the course had been content with the golf 1t had produced. But along came the young man who at 25 years of age is generally acclaimed the premier golfer of the world, having just won the British open with record score of 2S5.
 This sturdy southerner displayed such scintillating golf that he not only set a course record of 67 in the second medal round over the 6,669 yards of rugged golhng ground, but he eliminated by golf almost If not quite so good by wide margins such veteran stars as Jimmie Johnston of Minikahda, Francis Ouimet of Bost- ton and Chick Evans. himself, in the final round Saturday and T.
 In defeating Evans. the reinstated champion duplicated his record Of 31-36-G7 for Minikahda while par is 35-37-72. He was not SC, fast in the second round. But, having gained a lead of up in the first circuit, was able to increase that ad- vantage to up at the 27th hole, al- though Evans, displaying for time the golf of 1926, cut the lead to 4 up with a birdie on the 23rd hole.
 And Minikahda was soon to rest from the whack of the driver and the click of the iron; for, after halv- ing the 2sth in with butts each, Evans accidentally moved his ball in addressing it on the 2oth hole. So, instead of halving to make Jones dormie ', Chick took and lost the hole and the match.
 Jones' e7 was preceded on Friday by ea in his ii and 10 victory over Ouimet. who sprang into fame around the golfng world in 1913 by turning back a British invasion and winning the national open from Harry vardon and Ted Ray. And the Georgian had chalked up a splendid 6s the day before that in his conquest of Johnston, who only recently had outplayed Jones in the national open at Oakmont. leading the field for the first two rounds.
 In truth Jones scored 4 rounds, although not consecutively, in 271 strokes on g. championship course, and was 10 under par for all the holes he played during the title ioust, although by the vagaries of golf he had a severe sinking spell in the first match round and narrowly escaped defeat that overlook the 1926 champion, George Won Elm in the second match round.
 That misadventure prevented N1inikahda from a chance to be the

ARMY OF TENNIS STARS

Matches in National Doubles Tour nament May Be Delayed Be-
 cause of Rain

Brookline, Mass, May 28 lP-An army of tennis stars converged on the Longwood Cricket club today for the opening of the national doubles tournament, but forecast of con- tinued rain held the possibility at least. that the matches might be de- layed in getting under way.
 Big Bill Tilden and his victorious partner Hunter came fresh from victory at the Newport, R. l., invi- tation meet and with them were George Lott and John Doeg, the young westerners whom they had bested to win.
 Little Bill Johnston was another arrival. He rushed from San Fran cisco to here in response to the Davis Cup committees wishes that he participate in the play which will go far toward determining the con- position of the cup team.
 Johnston was paired with R. Norris Williams while Tilden will play with Hunter. France was rep resented by two of it's leading com- binations. Cochet and Brusnon and Lacoste and Borotra.

CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES
Regular Schedule of Contests to be Concluded Tonight if Weather Permits

The Inter-Church baseball league will conclude it's regular schedule this evening if the weather permits, three games being on the cards to be played at Willow Brook park. On Diamond No. 1 the South Congrega- tional church will meet the Every mans Bible Class. The Bible Class, though defeated Friday, has plenty of strength and is fighting to keep third position, while the South church has been badly weakened by vacations and will be in rather wobbly shape. Diamond No. 2 will be the scene of action between the St. Matthew's German Lutherans and the Stanley Memorial team. A last ditch battle to secure a tie for first place is being waged by the St. Matts, who are determined to win this game from the slipping Stan mors, but the latter are not to be counted easy victims by any means.
 The First Lutherans will have an opportunity to clinch the champion ship when they oppose the Swedish Bethany team on the grass dia- mond." Having taken 12 straight games, the Lutherans are confidence of another win, but the Bethany ar- ray has proved stumbling block for more than one team in the league.

BECOMING
 HEADLINE SPORT
Sports Writers Doting on "Our
 Helen" and Big Bill"
BY MARY K. BROWNE

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Copyright 1927 by United Press)
 New York, Aug. 2s.-"Tennis is certainly becoming a headline said one of the inmates of the Wander bilt hotel, the hang out of the ten- his squad and "squabs." The state ment is full of amazing truth.
 Why! Our best sportswriters scarcely let a day pass without a few words about "our Helen or our big and little Bills One of the distinguished sportswriters took time off. from the cultivation of cauli- flower, and devoted most of his column to the bills of our Big Bill. What financial recuperation should be coming to Bill for the amount of time and talent devoted to the up lift of tennis. Just little Chris tian endeavor."
 Why! The pictures in the Sunday sports edition of our Davis cup ten- his team were larger than the big four of polo. The men, horses and all.
 I am forced to admit that six pie lures of Bobby Jones. took the first prize, for importance. Six pictures of baseball players took second place. Tennis, the game that was once called sissy, was third, with a display of the big four of the inter i, r,1o
 Why has tennis become popular Because it is an exciting, attractive, fairly obvious game to watch, with comfort. It is an inexpensive game to play. The contests are interna- tional in aspect and that catches the imagination of the public. The out come of the matches is more of a mystery. The players are becoming more skillful. The women are doing their bit in promoting the popular ity of the game. Tennis is becom- ing more strenuous.
 "Second wind" is something fair ly new in women's tennis. Mrs. Chapin got her second wind in both her match with Joan Fry and again in her match with Mrs. Mallory Ap- parently no one gets it unless they are competing to the limit of their strength and not until tennis devel- oped into battle royal have we thought much about second wind
 have had it and I know the won derful sensation of revivifying it brings. Why it happens is a physical mystery to me. I have heard foot ball men talk of 1t casually. I first experienced it in a game of field hockey, after running like mad up and down the field as a forward, thought that I could not go on. had a pain in my side and I was hopelessly winded. I actually felt as though I might drop dead. Sudden ly felt the fresh air fill my lungs The pain left my side. I was new person, completely refreshed. My second wind lasted all through the game. On my four months tour with Suzanne Lenglen there were two occasions when I was conscious of getting my second wind.
 Mrs. Chapin described her sensa- tions to me just as had found them When Charlotte Chapin had exerted herself to the limit in gaining a lead of 5-2 in the deciding set against Mrs. Mallory. and Molla started to climb back, Charlotte said she was SO exhausted she could not go on But she knew she must. She played on her nerve until she thought she would drop. Then suddenly came her second wind at moment wher she needed it. A gift from the gods A refreshed Charlotte went on to the greatest victory of her career.

 The amateur fight game will go bigger in this city this year than ever before, it is expected. All around this city, the sport has been attracting customers by the hun dreds and by the thousands.
 Reports from Bristol and Meri- den state that tournaments conduct ed in both cities have been meeting with unprecedented success. These two cities are the latest to introduce amateur fighting to their fight fans.
