BY BUNKER.

~ NE of the pleasantest sights in
golf is to see Bobby Jones,
anywhere from to 80 yards
~ off the green, playing chip
shot. He stands with his feet
close together, and Is almost erect as
he swings on the ball. crisply but
smoothly, the stroke shortened or
heightened according to the distance
to be traYersed.
Bobby, unquestionably. is the great
est maker of chipshots among the
amateurs. and, of course. has no su-
periors among the professionals This
applies either to playing from fairway
or from a trap, although, properly
speaking, he does not chip out of
traps unless the ball is lying clean
and back well from the bank.
He seldom explodes the ball Most
of his plays are made with a half
swing that cuts the sand from under
the ball in much the same manner as
that employed by Freddie Mcleod,
that master bunker player Of the pro-
fessiOnals. He varies his force accord
ing to distance.
He plays over stiff banks in this
manner to get the same effects which
most players obtain by the explosion
shot. When Bobby explodes it is be-
cause his ball is in a bad hole, or
buried, or because the sand in fluffy.
Two Marvellous Plays.
The club that Bobby uses for actual
chip-shots is a copy of an approach
ing cleek owned by his friend, o, b.
Keelcr, back in the days when the
gutta percha ball was in use. This
eleek bore the signature of the famous
Tom Morris. Keeler had copies made
of it and one day was playing with
one of these when Bobby saw the
club and took a fancy to it.
The club has a long, narrow, plain
blade with more loft than the ordi-
nary cleek. Bobby has had it cut
down to putter length.
Morris, now past 70 years Of age,
saw the American star, welding the
cleek which his hands had fashioned,
in deadly fashion at Muirfleld last
Summer. Old Tom was standing at
the first green when Bobby came up
to play his third shot on the 450-yard
