BOBBY HAS 20, ONE UNDER
PAR FIGURES, FOR COURSE
Championship Olympic Fields Layout Made Easier
by Shortening of Fourth Tee for Title Play
That Starts Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, June 20.-There was
joy in the heart of golfdom
\ today and the skill of Bobby
~ Jones still lives.
The reason for such jubilance
at the Olympic Fields Country Club
where the national open championship
begins tomorrow was because the diff
cult No. 4 tournament links had been
made bit easier, even on the heels
of concrete proof that its par could
be beaten, for Bobby Jones turned in
a 40 yesterday, one under perfect figures.
The decision to make the champion
ship course mite easier was reached
by officials of the United States Golf
Association and the club following much
argument after several of the leading
golfers suggested the fourth hole be
played from the forward tee, cutting 80
yards from the 393-yard hole.
Some of the golfers wanted to play
the entire 13 holes from the forward
tees. but this plea was refused, although
the officials did decide to use the front
tee on the fourth hole when it was
found that even a good drive from the
back tee would land on a slope and
perhaps bounce out of bounds
The decision to shorten that hole
came not long ater Jones had turned

their last practice rounds this after

As result. just before the champion

sip hinges around that lad with cham

well he is playing and what chance he
has. and whether Tommy Armour will

PIGEON GETS HOME
AFTER 10 MONTHS

One of the most unusual feats Of
racing pigeon finding his way home. a
distance of about 1.400 miles. after an
absence OF 10 months has been brought
to the attention of local racing pigeon
fanciers.
When one Of the pigeons of F. J..
VoIth OF TAI Longfellow street returned
to its home last year in a national
championship race from Chattauooga.
Tenn, in which thousands OF pigeons
from all over the country and Canada
competed. it brought with it a pigeon
owned by Arthur Ward of San Antnnla,
Tex. Mr.. Voith got the bird in good con
dition and after locating its owner re-
leased the pigeon. It made numerous
attempts to get its bearings to fly home,
but apparently it could not locate the
exact direction. On April 4. last, how
ever, the bird disappeared. -
Several days ago Mr. Voith received. a
letter from Mr.. Ward stating the bird
had arrived at its home loft. -
The feat of this bird in returning to
its home after such a long absence is
being freely discussed by local fanciers.
