ness-like young man who dominates
American links strobe UP and down
hills Of Brae Burn today, welding q
niblick dealing destruction to hopes
of British golf in general and the
ambitions Of Thomas Phillip Perkins
in particular.
While q nop-eyed gallery Of some
5000 scrambled TO watch him in as
constituent, Bobby Jones crushed the
champion Of Great Britain, 10 up and
. 10 play, in the most one-sideG
match for the amateur championship
Of the United States in thirty-three
years
The Great Georgian. reaching the
pinnacle Of achievement In his ca
rccr, thus completed his march 70 a
fourth national amateur title in five
years and his eighth triumph in six
years in American or British national
tournaments.
His fourth, and BY long odds most
decisive amateur victory equals the
record of Jerome ID. Travers, only
other man to win the American crown
four times. Bobby's achievement -
even better. however. for he has been
a finalist five straight times while
Trayers spread his triumphs over a
scven-year period.
In these last five championships,
Jones has won % out Of "a matches,
losing only 70 George o Elm in the
1926 finals in compiling the greatest
record any American amateur has
ever known.
Perkins. first Briton to reach the
American finals since Harold Hilton
was victorious in 1911, was no match
for Jones today. =,
Whether it was because he could
not forget the 13 and ~ ~thrashinE
he took two weeks from Jones or
whether the tension Of the title
match was TOO much for him, the in
va1er's game went almost to pieces
Perkins won only two holes, the
first and seventeenth His approx
mate medal score. at best, was ~
strokes over par for the u noies
while Jones was exactly even with
standard figures.
Jones has won all four Of MS cnam-

A pretty woman, accompanied by
her husband, alighted at the railway
station and asked young railway
man to carry her trunk inside. The
youth was so struck by her beauty
that he put his arm around her neck
and kissed her in the presence Of her
astOnlshed spouse. not to say large
