" WINGED FOOT GOLF CLUB,
n ! MANdARONECK, N. Y, July
wv by good fortune Satur-
day came within one stroke
of being open champion, and
yesterday I couldn't come within "a
shots of the great title in 36 holes. The
answer was Robert T. Jones, jr, the
greatest golfer who ever lived, in my
estimation.
am sorry that I couldn't make a
better showing against Bobby, but I
tried hard all day-just as hard as I
could. When things started going badly
and Bobby piled up lead of four or
five shots along past the turn in the
morning, knew as did every one else
on the course, that my only chance was
to go after everything for all / was
worth and take what chances / could
get from the breaks. Bobby was play
ing his usual fiawleSs game, and it was
quite apparent that he was good for
even fours and better on the days work.
His UnIucky Hole.
The break which just about decided
things for me was the twelfth hole in
the morning. It was the scene of my
disastrous eight Saturday. par-five
hole where was three shots over par.
Tt was the factor that cost me the title,
as it was quite evident that my judg-
ment in playing the hole was bad
That's often the way in these cham
pionships-one has to decide whether
to play safe or go for it, and If our
judgment is bad we don't know it is un-
til too late.
When I reached the twelfth in the
morning was five shots to the bad.
Whether it was the psychology of Sat-
IIrdau'c q and Y1O0r riou IN Y,nu mart
or just some bad breaks, I cannot
truthful1y say. It was probably little
of each. All know is that when I
finished had another preposterous 8
to Bobby's birdie and I was nine shots
behind with nothing left except a game
which was not working smoothly enough
for me to save my shots and up against
human machine who made no mis-
takes. I realized that I was too far
behind Bobby for him to feel any Of
the strain of the match, that he was
getting better and more confident as
he went along and my chances were
absolutely nil without some miracle.
Regrets Poor Showing.
Now my only regret is that I could
not make better showing. realize
that when he is at his best even the
finest golfer cannot beat him. But at
the same time, feel that I was many
strokes of my game and should have
been much closer.
When made good shot, which was
rarely, I was given rather more than
my share of the applause, guess. And
when the prizes were being given out,
the applause was more prolonged than
my bad scoring warranted.
That was almost my only really happy
moment of the day, because saw then
that the crowd was understanding about
the proposition had been up against,
and they knew why was scoring so
high in my efforts to improve game
that had slipped its natural groove.
I'm sorry my game wasn't better on
this day Of days, but hope that next
time I'll have couple of good rounds
in my system. I know that such a
chance comes rarely, but feel conf
dent that some day I'll have another
opportunity such as had yesterday.

knocked it toward the hole and sank it.
Four brides and one hole over par re-
warded the emperor of golf as he SYM
pathized with the struggling Espinosa
and played winning golf himself.
Bobby was absolutely mercileSS. No
other word can describe the uncanny
stroking of the Albanian. No matter
how good or how bad Espinosa played
Jones was just the same master of golf
the links colossus, the machine which
produces winning shots without a
quiver or a smile. That was grim
Bobby Jones who played yesterday, a
Jones who was out to win. For three
championship and only once had he
won the playoff.
Golfers come and go, but there is only
one eternal Jones. Each year diff
ferent face is seen in there in the play
off with him, but Jones is just the
same. He always produces. Any one
who says he is not the greatest of them
all has only to look at the record. And
it must mean something.
ESpinoSa's golf was pitiful Here was
a man who had scored 142 for the first
two rounds of the championship, had
taken an 8 on the last round and had
come from back of that handicap to
tie Jones. His initial round of the play
of was "a, IL shots over par. His Sec
ond round was 80, strokes over par
and 20 strokes over par for the day, while
Jones was shots under par for the
same distance.
Bob Pities Opponent.
What they ought to do in these open
championships is to send the entire
field out to play 54 holes and let the
leader meet Jones in an l8-hole medal
play round for the championship. That
would be the sensible thing to do, for
the Jones boy has it on all of them.
Bobby said last night after the play
Off that vita the exception of two
holes he had played the finest golf even
he ever has shown. Throughout the
fifteenth and first of the morning
round, where Jones took 6 on par 4
holes, and he has played SO holes in
z better than par, his average for six
rounds of championship play over the
Winged Foot course is 72 2-10. And
Winged Foot is no mans set-up. It
stopped Hagen and Farrell and Horton
Smith.
/. What was I to do" Bobby said. "I
felt sorry for AL, for he was playing
badly and ! was playing well. couldn't
blow shots intentionally and couldn't
miss puts. No matter what I did 1t
couldn't hurt AL worse than he was
hurting himself. SO that no matter what
I did it was bad for him.
Only one man has won the open
championship three times before. Willie
Smith did it, back in the days when
there wasn't any Bob Jones to trounce
the proud, and no man has come any
where near swamping the opposition
under the crushing margin that Jones
won by yesterday.
Fred Mcleod won by five shots in
1908, Ouimet won by five shots in 1918,
Jones won by a shot in 1923 and lost
1928
Nothing like that crushing 23-stroke
margin ever has been conceived before.
Jones is the colossus, bestriding his
narrow world Of golf like conquering
god.

a MAMARONECK,, N. Y,
wv July Robert Tyre Jones,
jr., the greatest golfer on
this spinning earth of fair
ways and traps, burned up the course
to win his third United States open
championship, the confagration catch
ing poor AL Espinosa and reducing him
to sackcloth and ashes. The Atlanta
scoring machine played the SO holes in
141 shots to Espinosa's 164, dlnerence
of % strokes.
Jones played some of the finest golf
of his career and Espinosa played some
of the worst OF his.
Espinosa gave a distressing exhibit
ton for man who Is fine chap and
a fine golfer. Under any ordinary cir
cumstances he probably could have tax
en- an iron and putter and have made
better figures than he did.
This is the ninth major golf cham
pionship the Georgian has won. He
was 81 years old last st. Patrick's day.
His first United States open title came
at Inwood when he beat Cruickshank
in a play-of there in 1928. He won at
Scioto in 1926. That same year, he
won the British open championship,
and repeated in 1927. Jones was
amateur champion of the United States
in 1924, 1925, 1927 and 1928. This
9 record of nine major titles ties that
made by John Ball the great British
amateur.
The last round yesterday was the
siXty-fifth Jones has shot in medal
play competition. Never in one of
those rounds has his score reached 80.
He made one 68 in the British cham
pionship, and he scored two 69's here
That record needs no gliding of elo-
quence. It speaks for itself In rever-
berating tones.
Jones not only beat Espinosa by %
strokes in 36 holes in medal play, but
he beat him by 16 holes in match play.
Had they been competing under match
rules the game would have ended at
the seventh green in the afternoon
where Bobby would have won by IL up
and IL to play.
As It was, the match really ended
sooner than that. To all intents and
purposes, It was finished after the 1S
holes had been played In the morning
At this point Jones was IL strokes in
front. There was another round tc
play, but giving Bobby Jones IL strokes
on the l8 holes is just like giving Mar
o. War in his prime 500 yards in 9
mile. II Bobby shot another 72

"I have no alibis and no excuses, but
I was just tired out. After the fourth
hole on the morning round the clut
felt like a base ball bat in my hands
To make up for that tried to get my
body into the shots and they just didn't
come of. Not an excuse, nor an alibi
I probably would have been licked, any
way" And Al laughed that quiet laugh
which has earned him many friends
here.
Bobby Jones, national open champion
and national amateur champion by his
victory yesterday, establishes himself
once again as the greatest golfer of the
world. Only one player is anywhere
near him-John Ball of England-whc
won eight British amateur titles and
one British open crown. Bobby now
has tied that record and he will go on
winning championships as long as he
competes. He probably will go on
through the next decade to set win
ming record that may never be beaten
One at Best, Other at Worst.
Jones now has won the American
open championship for the third time
the hardest championship in the world
to win. He has won the American anna
teur four times, and the British open
twice. No other golfer in the world has
ever come near this record, for John
Ball never played in the United States
and did not travel as has Jones.
There is little to say about the play
of, for Jones was himself for the first
time in the championship since last
Thursday, when he blazed over the
Winged Foot course to set new record
of SO, which he tied in the final round
yesterday.
His 36-hole score in the decisive tilt
fo1
Bobby played his best golf of the tour
nament In the play-off. Espinosa played
his worst.
There is no question, that Espiaesa
cracked wide open. But it was physi-
cal cracking process, and not mental
one. Al kept plugging away and hoping
for the break that never came. After
the twelfth hole of the morning round
there never was question of who was
to win, for Jones after getting out in 81
to 80 for Espinosa, picked up two more
shots for a 4-shot lead at the tenth and
widened the margin to nine at the
twelfth hole, that terrifying ABS par af-
fair that cost EspinoSa an on the final
round of the championship proper and
cost him another on the first round
Of the playoff.
Nine shots up and "a holes to go. No
man in the world can spot Jones nine
shots over q stretch like that and win.
And, despite on the fifteenth, where
he found an unplayable lie in a rock
pile, Jones added to his margin until
he led at the halfway point by IL
shots. There was little to 1t after that
Jones knew and Espinosa knew and the
gallery of 1000 knew who the new
champion was to be. Nothing short OF
broken leg could cost Jones the cham
pionship with q 12-stroke lead and 1S
holes to go.
Last Round is Easy.
The final round was a walkaway
Bobby picked up almost as many shots
over the last round as he amassed In

GREAT LINE OF
CHRYSLERS AT
MOTOR SHOW
Production Is Shattering
Records; Huge Output
Set for 1929.

Tnrysler comes to the Indian
apllis automobile show with a line
of passenger and commercial cars
that have achieved the most i'm
posing success of any products it
ever has built. Phenomenal records
In sales, performance and reception
by the public have surpassed all
previous marks.
Chrysler production, ever since its
new car announcements, which
started last July, has been the
greatest in its history. It's officials
say that more public interest has
been manifest in the authoritative
beauty, design, performance, and
other features Of this years
Chrysler built cars chan at any time
heretofore.
Cfrysler during 1929 will build
from 100000 to 100000 cars. Walter
P. Cfrysler believes, to fulfill re-
euirements.
To meet this demand. Chrysler's
1929 line of cars includes "a type
and price to fit every motoring
need" Fifty three body styles, in
Guiding eleven custom-built crea-
tons for its new Imperial and "75,"
are offered on seven different pas
senger car GLASSES, covering the en-
tire motor car market, in addition
to two lines of Fargo and forty-two
different chassis types of Dodge
commercial cars.
Factory prices range from 1865 in
the Plymouth line to STATS for the
new custom-built Imperial sedan
limousine.
Body styles of each line of this
vast array of Ctrysler built cars are
on display at the automobile show
here. They are the cars, plus the
additions made in 1928, that have
brought Chrysler. in successive SEN
sstional advances in the last five
years, to the enviable position the
public has bestowed upon it.
Five factors in the opinion of A..
Van Duel, Plymouth sales manager,
are responsible for that cars sue
cess. These are its economy and re-
markable performance capacity,
large size, distinctive appearance
and luxury. of appointments, the
care with which it is built under
Chrysler'S famous standardized
quality principle, and its extremely
modest price.
Van Duel is authority for the
statement that the Plymouth, with
its entirely new developments, both
in body and chassis design, is
revolutionizing that entire field,
just as he says, the original Chrysler
cars in 1924 since have revolution
lied the whole motor car industry.
It is his conviction that no value
it's equal ever has been produced in
the low-price field.

Moreover, Americans in ever-in-

In addition to seeing the play
