MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-The
greatest battle of American golfing
history was to be played today with
Robert Tyre Jones of Atlanta ia

championship lover Charles Evans,
Jr., of Chicago.
Bobbys ambition ten years ago
was to emulate the proves of the
popular "Chick" Evans. That was
when Evans was reaching the height
Of his fame. Since then Jones has
become recognized as a greater
golfer than Evans and between
them they have won more cham
pionships than any two amateurs
or professionals.
Bobby was elected to beat Evans
today because of the better tnan
perfect" golf he has shown in most
rounds of the tournament while the
"old veteran' has been striving to
catch up with par.
But the greatest golfers "break"
under the strain of tournament play
and there are those who believe
Jones cant do it again"-can't re-
peat the SO he got Friday, the So

81 score of his last qualifying round
Tuesday.
Evans. on the other hand. erred
frequently in his match with young
Roland Mackenzie in Fridays
semi-finals. He had to go thirty
seven holes to win. He picked up
in tight places during the morning
conceding the>~hole. and his cards
were rs and rs.
Both players were extraordinarily
anxious to win. Bobby desired to
regain his reputation which suffered
by his poor showing in the National
Open and Evans would like to "read
the old mans name at the head of
the list again."
Both Jones and Evans have held
the open championship twice and
each has been a finalist four times.

1922 when Jess Sweetser beat him.
Bobbys amateur championships
were won in 1924 and 1925 against
George Won Elm, 1926 title holder,
and Watts Gum respectively. Won

Today she played in the semi
final round against Miss Helen ia

Berkeley" and in the final she will
play against the winner of the
match between Miss Betty 'Nuthall,
the charming English Miss, and
Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chaplin, an
other Californian.
The passing of Mrs. Mallory was
not a pleasing sight, as she fought
with all the impulse of one of the
stoutest hearts in tennis.
Mrs. Mallory, a victim of cratic
ways couldn't control her stroke, and
she ruined herself with out and net
errors.
Miss Bouman, the courageous lit
tie Dutch girl, did not give in to
Miss Wills without a struggle. She
obviously was in pain throughout
the match and was suffering So from
strained back muscles that it was
impossible for her TO cover her
court properly.
