Jones Uses Body
for Long Irons
BY SOL METZGER.

Unquestionably Bobby Jones great
skill at golf. the skill that makes
him stand out above the pack of
stars over a long period of years. is
due to his mastery of long irons.
Many drive and putt with him and
many are his superior at pitching to
the green. But Bobby gains the edge
with his long irons. Jones uses his
body in this stroke Archie Comp
ston employs his hands. Thus two
distinct theories come into conflict,
Should the hands and arms lead or

Radio Bridge Play Opens

TINE winter radio bridge season
l. opened Tuesday with the
broadcasting of the first Of the
series of Work-W Whitehead radio
bridge games from station WFBM.
An innovation this year was the
discussion by Work of the bidding
of the radio hand both at auction
and at contract bridge, the new
form of the game that is becoming
so popular all over America. Thus
the player who follows the radio
games soon will have an enviable
knowledge of how to bid success
fully at contract.
Participants in the game with
Work and Whitehead we're two
other New York bridge authors and
players of note, Sidney S. LEM and
Wynne Ferguson.
The hands were: Work, South,
dealer: Spades, 7, 6, 4, 8; hearts, 8;
diamonds, K, @, j, 9, 6, g.; clubs,
A, Z. Whitehead, West: Spades, 10,
8; hearts, A, K, 10, 7, 3, 2; diamonds,
A, Z, 8; clubs, K, 4. LEM North:
Spades, A, K, S; hearts, @, j, 8, g.;
diamonds, 10, 5; clubs, @, j, 9, 3.
Ferguson, East: Spades, @, j, 8, 2;
hearts, S, 4; diamonds, 8, 4; clubs.
10, 8, 6, 5, 2.
Bidding Of the hand, at no score,
was conventional-one diamond by
Work, dealer, South; one heart by
Whitehead, West; and one no trump
by LEM, North, who held only two
cards of his partners suit, but had
double shoppers in the adverse suit
and strength in the remaining two
suits.
Ferguson, East, passed, as did also
the dealer on the second round. The
dealer, Work, did not consider his
singleton heart a menace to his
partners no trump, as Mr.. LEM
had bid the no trump directly over
the adverse heart bid. Moreover
Works diamond suit, with a re-
entry In the ace Of clubs, promised
good no trump support.
VXTHITEHEAD, West, was strong
w enough to bid two hearts, but
considered it inadvisable to do so In
