heavier, Bobby continued knocking the

shot or two now and then to permit
Jones to add another hole to his lead
Perkins Wins Only Two Holes.
The British title holder won only two
OF the q holes of the title match, the
| first in the morning. when Jones moved
mis- ball, and the seventeenth, also in the
pre-lunch session. when Jones failed to
lay his chip shot dead from trap
After lunch the son of Britain never
won hole, although Jones gave him
an opening at the fourth, where he
returned the compliment by doing the
same stunt and Jones won the hole
when Perkins put his next tee shot In
a bunker.
Never at any time was there chance
for a smashing comeback by Perkins,
for Jones was Steadiness perSonified.
The peculiarly monotonous character
iStics of the Jones game were never bet
ter in evidence than in the final OF this
thirty-second amateur championship.
When he slipped accidentally from the
narrow path he followed the mediocre
shot with recoverieS the brilliance OF
which alone must have crushed the
heart of the British entry.
Bobby outShone Perkins in every de-
partment of the game, outranging him
from the tee, getting closer to the hole
with his long irons and pitch shots ana
putting far better than the British
champion. Against such combination
only par-si1attering golf would avail,
and Perkins did not have it in his bag.
The cigarette smoking Britisher did not
hole a lengthy putt during the final,
while he holed at least three across the
green against Voigt. Bobby had 48 puts
for the 81 holes played, six under the
putting par of 81. Perkins did hole out
on two holes, but his total could not
have been as good as that of Jones, for
he had two three-putt green's
Perkins Lead Short-Lived.
Although Perkins won the first hole
of the match. his lead was short-liveo.
for after they had haived the next two
Perkins drove out of bounds to drop
the hole to Jones' perfect par. Here
Jones had only a Seven-footer for a
birdie 3. but did not have to hole 1t
and Perkins conceded the hole. Jones
went into the lead he never relinquished
at the 577-yard fifth. where Perkins
took three puts, to permit Jones to
win with par.
The British champion put his ball in
the water hazard at the short sixth. to
make Jones 2 up, for Jones was on the
green from the tee. They halved the
next two holes in par figures, but Jones
won the ninth to become 3 up when
Perkins pitch rolled back down the hill
from the edge of the elevated green.
That seemed to start Jones of on a
wild rampage, for he played the next
four holes in three brides and one par,
winning them ALL Two smashing
wooden club shots put him on the
green at the 491-yard tenth for a
birdie 4. A long iron shot 10 feet from
the pin and good putt for the birdie
earned him the eleventh. He won
the short twelfth with par when
Perkins was bunkered, and Clipped
close enough to the cup to secure an
other birdie at the 470-yard thirteenth.
| They split the next three holes in reg
ulation figures and Perkins picked up
the seventeenth to reduce Jones' margin
from z holes to 6 when the Atlanta
marvel failed to get chip shot dead
from a bunker. The home hole was
