F\,lANSI,
Some CompIiment

Bobby Jones is five strokes better
than any other golfer in the country"
/ heard Walter Hagen make that re-
mark in the fall of 1922, after Jones
had failed to win the national amateur,
in which he was a hot favorite.
Jesse Sweetser surprised by taking
down the honors that year beating
Chick Evans, three and two. Jones
played mighty good golf but several
times his disposition got the better of
him.
Umpirng in Bostonsat the time the
tournament was held, | was able to see
most of the stars in action. Even in
defeat, the play of Jones was the most
impressive. A tendency to be a bit
peevish when things broke badly, how
ever, handicapped his play.

Jones was five strokes better than any

That was quite some admission from
so great a player as Hagen. Several
years later in Florida match play
Hagen beat Jones, 70 and IL, in a 72-
hole match.
After Hagen's decisive victory over
Jones, 1 recalled his comment on
Jones game in which he rated the
Atlanta wonder five strokes better
than the field.
THAT still goes" replied Hagen.
During the past three years Jones
has made Hagen look as good a pro-
phet as he is a golfer.
Recently in the southern open, said
to be the largest money tournament
ever held, Jones finished in front with
2S1, while Johnny Farrell and John
Golden were tied for second, eight
strokes away.
The field included the worlds great
