BOBBY JONES
STILL GREAT
AS OF Y0RE
Georgian Turns In 20 on Diff
cult Links Prior to National
Open Inaugural

Chicago, June 20.-(F-There
was joy in the heart Of golfdom to-
day and the skill Of Bobby Jones
still lives.
The reason for such jubilance at
the Olympia Fields Country club
where the National open champion
ship begins tomorrow was because
the difficult No. 4 tournament links
had been made q bit easier, even on
the heels Of concrete proof that its
par could be beaten, for Bobby
Jones turned in q 70 yesterday, one
under perfect figures.
The decision to make the cham
pionship course q mite easier was
reached by officials of the United
States Golf Association and the
Country club following much argu-
ment after several Of the leading
golfers suggested the fourth hole
be played from the forward tee,
cutting 80 yards from the 1913 yard
hole.
Some Of the golfers wanted to
play the entire Is holes from the
forward tees, but this plea was re-
fused, although the officials did de-
eide to use the front tee on the
fourth hole when it was found that
even . good drive from the back
tee would land on q slope and per-
haps bounce out Of bounds.
Bobby Shoots Low
The decision to shorten that hole
came not long after Bobby Jones
had turned in the low practice score
by shooting . 35-35-70, one under
par. Previously q 72 carded by
Tommy Armour, the defending
champion, and one or two others,
had been the low score and many
Of the golfers were commenting on
the toughness Of the course. Bobby
himself, until he shot his 70, had
contented himself with three rounds
Of ~, 76 and 20, leading experts to
believe the winner Of the title this
year would turn in a card not much
under 300.
Since the arrival Of most of the
entrants, all talk heard last year
about how easy the No. 4 course at
Olympia fields would be has
stopped, The golfers having found it
some 800 yards longer and much
moro difficult (though not unfair)
that it was before It was prepared
for the open tournament. The one
change made in the championship
layout yesterday was Of little real
Importance except that it indicated
the experts do not prefer exception
ally difficult courses. As . matter
Of record, from the Ford tee the
fourth hole is easy. q brides hav-
ing been carded on it in the western
open last year.
Unless there is much more rain,
the course will be in ideal shape to-
morrow when the first twosone tees
off on the championship trail. The
downpours Of the last few days
have put the finishing touch to ths
handicraft Of the clubs artisans and
virtually nothing remains to be done
except play the tournament.

WHO'D FORGET THAT?

Cincinnati, June 20.-A man must
be terribly absent minded to forget
to kiss his wife on his wedding day
and not remember until she remind
ed him the next day. Yet, that's
what Lawrence King did, according
to his wife's divorce petition. In adj
dition, she charges, that first kiss
was the last, for he left her immedi-
ately and went to live with another
woman.

NEW DIAMOND ZONE
 FOUND IN BRAZIL
Thousands of ProspectMs Await
 Rush to Fields

Rio De Janeiro, April c7 Up)-- Five thousand men of all nationali- ties. fired by dreams of sudden wealth, were concentrated along the lower Araguaya river in wild Matto Crosse state today waiting for low water to begin 8 diamond rush.
 A mushroom town has sprung up in the almost unknown region-La Geado. It has acquired all the as poets of wild west mining town, with dance halls, cabarets and gambling dens, with hastily impro- vised jazz bands, operating 2i hours a day.
 Handfuls of prospcctors returned after the dry season last year re- porting big finds of diamonds in the bed of the river. all taken out with bare hands. One find was said to be q 30-carat diamond of a unique rurplish tint claimed to be the only specimen in the world. It was necessary to wait this year until the approach of the dry season, when the rivers level Is lowered. But even then, the prospecting will be most dangerous. Even during the driest periods there is deep water in various river beds and there are many strong currents. To reach the region, three weeks travel by foot. canoes, and mules is necessary after the last railway is left.

NUN GOES TO ROME
 TODIRECT N0V|CES
MT. and Mrs. ToulikoWski Bid
 Farewell to Latter's Sister

Police Commissioner and Mrs. Leon Tomikowski of a3 Steele street will leave this evening for New York to bid bon voyage to Sister Mary Angela of the Order of St. Francis, sister of the commissioner, who will sail at midnight for Italy to take charge of novitiate at Rome.

It is possible that Commissioner and Mrs. Tomikow may go to Italy within a year and accompany Sister Mary Angela to Poland in the event that she is per- mitted to make the trip.
 Sister Mary Angela's assignment 10 Rome is most important one. European young women will be trained and educated there for their cloistered life, and already s7S.00o building has been purchased and other details Of preliminary nature perfected.
 Sister Mary Angela was educated in the United States and at the age of IT she entered the Order of St. Francis.

HARTFORD CROWD
 IS DISAPPOINTED
(Continued from First Pase)

plane had brought the lrishman and two Germans and were prepared to give them a rousing welcome. When 1t was learned that it was the Americans, the cheers changed to "Chamberlin! Chamberlin"'
 After his arrival Chamberlin an- nounced that the Ford relief plane carrying the Bremen crew would not land here, Chamberln said he left the trans oceanic flyers when he reached the St. Lawrence river to re-fuel here. The Ford plane kept on towards Washington by way of New York.
 Chamberlin planned to stop off here only q few minutes and then proceed to Washington, joining the Bremen crew somewhere en route.
 Planes Take Different Routes.
 Chamberlin said, upon leaving his plane: I've left Murray Bay to- sether. Fitzmaurice piloting the Ford. They wanted to take longer route and we did not have gas enough 10 follow him. So we came on ahead and rushed down here to get more fuel and go on.
 Il had a very interesting visit up there. l met both of the Germans turing my visit. Everybody seems fine and they are looking forward to J, big time in New York on Satur- day. We are going to Washington this evening on account of Floyd Bennett's funeral"
 Opinions of the two airmen who landed here differed. Chamberlin saying that the Bremen group would fly directly to Washington but Lieu- tenant Carl A. Dixon. who flew back with Chamberlin, said he understood that the other airmen planned to stop for fuel at Curtiss Field, Long Island, and expected to reach there about 2:S0.
 Chamberlin said he travelled 100 miles m hour and that the Bremen flyers were going about 80 so that he hoped 10 catch up with them while still over the Hudson river.
 Chamberlin left Brainard Field shortly after 1 o'clock for Curtiss Field. when he expected to meet the
New Britain herald., 1928-04-27

Bremen crew. Because of the head winds, Chamberlin thought the Ford plane would have to stop at Curtiss Field to re-fuel.
 Robert G. Fogs, pilot, who arriv- ed at Brainard Field from Montreal at s:45 this morning. announced definitely that the Bremen crew would land at the Hartford field.
 Effort Was made to arrange for a greeting to the people of the United States over the radio by sta ton WTIC today in event of the transatlantic flyers made a stop at Brainard Field. The station was prepared to have a microphone at the field so that each flyer might have opportunity to speak into it on this the first stop in United States soil, if the stop was made.
