JONES IS LIKELY
WINNER Of
j. s. OPEN
lcontlnued from FIrst Pagel

to rest until it was feet from
the flag. Then he downed the
putt for 4 birdie. It looked like
trouble at the third when Jones
sliced badly into a clump OF bushes
and trees and found himself with
a nasty lie.
But the young man usually has
a reply to situation like that and
this time 1t was a smash that car
ried through all obstacles to the
green 10 feet from the cup. 1t
was a magnificent shot and the
huge gallery cheered 1t for q full
minute. He thus was putting for
a birdie but the bail eyaded the
hole.
sarazen's first three holes were
without particular moment. except
that he pounded his approach be-
yond the first green and into a
trap, the circumstance costing him
a S. Gene was straight all the way
to the second green and ran down
two puts from a distance OF 40
feet and. although he missed the
third green with his tee shot, he
came back with a splendid chip
shot to get 8.
Shute's Irons Fail Him
Shute blew his chances by his
failure to control his iron shots in
the wind on the incoming nine. On
the first nine he couldn't miss the
greens from the fairway; on the
final nine his pitch shots found
trap after trap until finally at the
seventeenth he missed Dlashie
pitch so badly that the ball drib-
bled only a few feet.
The cards of some Of the third
round leaders were:

Even Jones couldn't get a par
4 on the opening hole of the first
Is today. The great one started
off with AL Watrous and q 5000
gallery and hit a screecher off the
first tee. 1t had a slight pull,
however. and left him difficult
second because of a long carry over
the traps and a tree that was just
out of the line of flight. Anyhow,
Jones missed the green, stopping
in the short rough to the right.
Here he had to chip over another
trap and the effort was weak, stop
ping 20 feet from the pin. He
then two-putted to take a 5.
Jones' drive at the second was
long but somewhat off the line, but
he got his second home 80 feet
from the flag ran his approach
putt almost dead and took a 4.
Bobby used a spoon into the
wind at the 217.yard third aTld the
effort left him a 12-foot putt for
2. It failed to go down.
Takes On Fourth
Jones didn't get hold Of his tee
shot in the customary manner at
the fourth and it lacked distance.
Then his second hit the green,
scooted past the cup and down the
bank to the rough. He chipped
back splendidly but missed his first
putt and took 5.
Bobby proved that he wasn't put.
ting up his usual standard at the
fifth. Here his second caught a
trap at the entrance to the green
and a magnificent explosion shot 5
feet from the cup, set the gallery
agog. But Jones failed to get this
putt down, too, taking a par 5.
Wind Carries Ball
At the sixth, he got a bad hook
into his drive and the wind caught
the ball, carrying 1t into the rough.
IS yards from the pin. Jones then
came to time with a remarkable
mashie pitch over rough and traps
to the green, leaving himself 20
foot putt for birdie. Being long
overdue for a putt, he proceeded to
get this one down while the gallery
went wild. 81
Bobby was short from the
seventh tee, barely reaching the
entrance to the green. His ap-
proach putt was short. too, leaving
him a 7-foot putt. He sank it to
get his par.
At the eighth Bobby almost
dropped a 30-footer for another
birdie.
The ninth, however, was his mas
terpiece. Here he doomed a ter.
rifle drive down the wind and his
spoon shot for a second to the
green arched beyond the traps and
rolled 15 feet from the cup. Where
upon he downed the putt for an
eagle, the first of his tournament
on this hole, and the crowd raised
