One great thing about Jones Is
that he can be off with this club or
that and still score around Is or rs.
He is one OF the greatest artists. Of
them all at finishing off hole. Any
time he gets within 20 to 40 yards
OF the hole he will get down in two
strokes more often than any other
golfer living.
If there il a trace of weakness in
Bobby's play, it is the handling of
approaches from 10 to 100 yards.
But the report on his late play indi-
Gates he has these shots now well
in hand. If that is SO, like his
chances best of all at Chicago.
Tom Armour
Tom Armour, the defending cham
pion, is a great golfer and won his
title last year on the merits Of a fine
display of golf. But it has been a
mighty long time since an open
champion over here repeated and
the going is constantly getting
tougher.
The tftle.hoIder is q master shot
maker. He is almost always long
and straight off the tee, and nobody
plays a long iron any better than he,
and few. indeed, as we'll. His short
approach shots are usually accurate,
and he is reasonably good putter
But the champion is tempera-
mental. Not that he is given to out
ward explosion, including club throw
Ing and such. but the mood has to
be on him for him to show at his
best. IL he finds himself lacking tina
putting touch he is highly enough
strung to let it worry him. He needs
inspiration. liz he gets off well. and
finds himself hitting his shots salts
factorily, he will be up there at the
finish.

Just then came the sound of a
door across the hall opening, then
closing softly, stealthily, followed
by the padding of slippered feet de-
Scending the stairs.
Tony stiffened, then whispered.

The contest was between Grant
and Blaine. Actually it was between
Blaine and Conkling, who had hated
Blaine with undying hate since
Blaine, as a congressman, had
referred to "his grandiloquent swell
his majestic, supereminent, over
powering, turkey-gobbler strut" and
then compared him with another
man as mud to marble, dunghilI
to a diamond, singed cat to a
Bengal tiger, whining puppy To
a roaring lion" Conkling hoped tc
nominate and when the convention
met at Chicago the New York Penn
sylvania politicians who had defeat
ed Blaine in 1876, believed they had
the convention rugged to impose the
unit rule.
This would have given Grant
enough additional strength to in
sure his nomination. But ma
jority of the national committed
turned out to be anti Grant and
the unit urle was eliminated
Other plans of the high-handed
steam roller-Some rather dishonor-
able-were also blocked.
The anti Grant forces we're lei
