COMPENSATION
LAW HITS BOB
Jones Can't Always Play Per-
fectly, One Round at St.
Andrews Shows
BY O. b. KELLER
(By The Associated press)

In a way it seems a tribute to the
law Of compensation, that when
Bobby Jones, in his twelfth national
open golfing championship, finally
shot round under 70 for the first
time in his career, it should be at
the course which he regards as the
classic golfing test, the Old Course
at St. Andrews.
And in the only national open
championship in the United States
or Great Britain in which par of the
course was ever beaten, it was Bobby
Jones at st. Andrews. Bobby beat
more than fine field, in the recent
British championship. He defeated
Old Man Par himself. He gave the
tough old boy sound drubbing, too
seven strokes in the four rounds,
with never a round above par, and
only one, the third, as high as par,
which is 70.
Hits Better Than Others
Curiously enough, in the third
round Bobby was hitting his shots
better than in any of the others. But
the law of compensation had laid hold
upon his putter, and where he got
around in 20 puts in his card Of 60
for the first round, he needed Sc
puts in the third round for his par
70, thus for once compiling par
card with precisely the number Of
puts prescribed by par. This, by
the way, is not often managed. This
is the only instance l can recall in
major competition.
Remarkable Study
The putting is remarkable study.
On no other course that l have seen
could such putting have been accom-
plished, for the simple reason that no
other course, so far as my observa-
tion extends, has greens sufficiently
enormous to afford such puts. On
six of the eighteen greens Bobby's
ball was outside of 100 feet from the
pin. If you have ever tried getting
down in two puts from that range,
you know it is one of the most diff
cult tasks in golf. Yet Bobby never
took three puts. And once, at the
fifth hole, he was down in one putt,
of 100 feet.
This started his spectacular run Of
80 strokes for the next nine holes,
clipping five strokes off par, and
carrying him to the turn in SO, par
being SO. The lead he gained on that
spin sent him out in front and he
was never caught. He finished the
, first round in 68, equaling the course
record. He had lead of three
strokes on the field. At SO holes he
led by two strokes. At 81 holes he
led by four strokes. At 72, he led by
six strokes-and he led par by seven
strokes.
He never missed putt under
Is feet. He holed two Of feet. one
Of 8. two of 20, one Of 80 and one
Of 100 feet. At the tenth he was in
a swale at the front Of the green
and clipped the ball instead Of put
ting it. Charlie MacFarlane scored
him only % puts, declining to count
him a putt on his forty-yard shot at
the-seYenteenth hole, thouGh he ~Nas
on the putting surface and used 9

New York has won % out of its
last 28 games and today was right
on the heels of the Cardinals and the
Pirates. The first division array
showed the four flag contenders more

Frank Emmer played the hero role

Bohne, the Miller third baseman,
played in another game without an
error, stretching his string to 33.
The Kansas City Blues went on a

New York, Aug. 81. - @ - Helen

tennis world her own.
Climaxing a drive that began last

Helcn's Supreme
Abroad, Miss Wills defeated the
pick of women stars of all the Eu-
ropeam nations. At home she dis
posed of one of the finest fields that
ever competed in an American cham
piOnship. The net result is undis-
puted supremacy for the year 1927.
This is the fourth time in five years
thut Little Poker Face" has been the
queen Of American tennis, and she is
still the hardest hitter that the wom-
ems game has ever known. -
Although Miss Wills won in
straight sets. the finaf'match was not
without its element of dram a.
Bounding Betty" in the second set
brought a crowd of 5000 to high
pitch of enthusiasm as she struggled
up from count Of Ia to capture
three out Of four games from her
cautious, calculating rival.
Helen Wills was and is supreme,
but the means Of her triumph yester-
day served to indicate that she is to
face within the neft two years at
least renewed threat--m0re serious
from the same smiling youngstcr
she turned back to the title match.
Betty Is Improving
Experts have decreed that within
