Jones hit two great shots to the $50

shot crossed a corner of the green and
slipped into one of the ridged traps.
The hole cost him z. He took 3 TO

and he barely got out then. That
wrecked his confidence In play up to
the green. He began steering the ball
when a bunker hove in sight, and his
play fell of badly. The same thing
happened at Winged Foot. The bunk
ers and traps here were not raked as
deeply as they were at Oakmont. But
they had q sudden explosive quality that
was hard to diagnose. Jones was chuck
full of confidence until he came to the
eighth hole of the final round. Here
his second struck in front of the green
and bounded OF to the right in a trap.
His first niblick shot seemed to be cor
rectly played. The ball struck short Of
the pin, but slipped across the narrow
green and topped into a deep trap on
beyond. Before he was through he had

1t was bunker play that cost Johnny
Farrell his at the same eighth hole
and cracked his confidence. 1t was
bunker shot that led Bill Melhorn to his
10 on the sixth hole. This time he
came out too far. 1t was bunker play
that cost AL Espinosa his on the final
played from one trap to another and
then again into the sand once or twice
more.
A, golfer might hit three bad drives
and not have them cost more than two
strokes. He might hit three bad iron
shots and still get his par on one or two
holes. But three strokes wasted in a
bunker tell another story. And they
mean panic. Even a Bobby Jones can
feel that he might spend part Of the
afternoon in bunker and kill his
visit to sandy trouble 1t is almost in1-
possible to keep from steering the ball
away from the sand. This means ten

control. When golfers confidence Is
shattered In the midst of an open
championship he is nearly always
doomed. It was the dent In his early
confidence after his bunker trouble at
the eighth hole that finally cost Jones
6 strokes through the last holes, some
thing that ordinarily would seem to he
incredible. In golf there IS nothing that
can be listed as incredible. Anything
can happen and the best in the game

DIPLOMATS TO
DECIDE RANK
Social Washington Finds
Order On Brink Of
Collapse

WASHINGTON, April 10.-tPN
Social Washington woke UP today
to find its whole order IN the brink
of either a collapse or a thorough
overhauling, as a result Of the de-
partment shall no longer decide
questions Of precedence not affect
ing the diplomatic corps.
The Secretary'S decision was
reached in response to the protest
by Vice President Curtis against the
ruling of former secretary Kellogg
that his sister and official hostess,
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam, should
be seated at official dinners below
the wives of diplomats, and to the
request Of the corps yesterday for
a definite ruling.
He held that, while the former
secretary's ruling correctly set forth
the custom of precedence In recent
years, the department had no au-
thority to determine the social sta
tus of any except foreign represen-
tatives. In his reply to Sir Esme
Howard, the British ambassador and
| dean Of the corps, he said decisions
as to the precedence in which Amer
lean officials and their wives should
be received within the homes OF the
diplomats rests wholly within the
discretion of the members OF that
corps themselves"
After the secretary's reply was
delivered to the British ambassador
the members of the corps were sum-
moned for a meeting today to con-
slider the problem thus put up to
them.

Chief Speaker At

The Brownsville Municipal Air

others for passenger services, Jack
McDermott, Texas Air Transport
company official of San Antonio,
told the Lions club Tuesday at their
regular meeting.
He said that pilots generally
agree that the local field is one of
the best in the South and their
comments are spreading over the
country, adding materially to the
prestige Of this city as an interna-

McDermott was pleased with the
"Reminiscences" of the Valley and
urged that the airmail and passen-
ger services be patronized in order
to further stimulate this feeling.
The meeting was held at the
