Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-10-11

The difhculty or nnG1ng words ana
phrases to satisfy the desire to bestow
adequate praise on this phenomenal
winner Is voiced by the Cleveland Plain
most reliable superlatives are utterly
useless when it comes to Bobby Jones"
To the MorgantoWn Dominion News
Jones is, of course, the nonpareil of
the golfing world" The Minneapolis
Star calls him IAN emperor of golf"
Says the Detroit News: Bobby Jones
has passed the bounds Of a rational
description of greatness. Call him Mr..
Universe and let it go at that. He's
the Mr.. Universe of golf" The Roa-
noke Times cries, Bobby Jones is the
king of them ALL"
Analysis of the qualities Of Bobby
Jones as man and as a player is made
by many papers. Nerve, brains, per-
sistency, self possession, an unerring
eye and an unbeatable stroke have given
Bobby Jones an honor that some man
would give a million dollars to attain, !"
is the way the Wichita Beacon puts it.
For its appreciation the Scranton Times
quotes Jerome Travers, former four
time amateur champion, who saw
Jones play at Ardmore, and said OF
him, He combines to degree at
tainei by no one else skill, power, cour-
age md brains" OF his playing the
Wall Walla Daily Bulletin remarks,
Fog pure consistency and day-after-
day winning form. Jones is peer OF all
golfers" The Davenport Democrat
considers that "his splendid character
and manhood will further add TO the
prestige and popularity of golf as a
great American sport" AS the Buffalo
Evening News sums it all up, ''in him
are joined variety of fine qualities"
AS to his achievements this year the
Baltimore Sun states: In other games
it would not be surprising II flrst-
fight star at the height of his game
made a clean sweep in any one season.
But in golf it is so unexpected and so
unnatural as to seem positively lmpron,,,
able even when it Is accomplished.
Speaking of the four championship
contests, the Charlotte North Carolina
News declares, The winning OF any
one of these four honorS would nave
satisfied the normal professional or the
most aspiring amateur in either contl-
nent, but Bobby went out to see what
new kingdoms he might conquer, ana
returns with everything in sight IN the
way of international medals in his
grip"
ITO win four major championships
of the world in a single season is
feat never before accomplished by any
golf player, and feat that probably
will never be repeated" asserts the
Allentown Morning Call.
There may be others who will swing
an iron as we'll as Jones, and there may
be others who seldom require more than
two puts when they reach the green,
but we doubt that there will ever be
another who can stand the strain OF
| four major championships in single
year" in the opinion Of the Asbury
Park Evening Press, which thinks that
is a hole that Jones will play alone"
Speaking with pride of Georgia's hero,
| the Atlanta Journal says of his playing
| in these four tournaments: 1t was
not simply to add new plumes to his
crest or new kingdoms to his empire,
| but to- do surprisingly, superlatlvely
supremely well the thing into which he
| has poured shining years of skill, cour-
age, character He has achieved more
than championshipS-he has risen to
| that realm Of excellence which history
reserves for the finest deeds Of men and
! calls classic" The Savannah Morning
News directs attention to "a phase OF
| his triumph of which Georgia Is whole
| heartedly proud which makes the basis
of lesson for all young fellows. Bobby
Jones takes his victory with the finest
| spirit possible" says this Georgia pa
per. "He accepts triumph in a way
| that reveals something about him. Bot
| proved he can be good winner now
] by disciplining himself years ago to be
! good loser. The highest golf honors
in the world rest upon this young
Geornian's brow without turning his
head"
