TOURNAMENT match
American Champion Follows
Custom Of Playing Against
Par for Easy Victory
BRITISH ENTRY WEAKENS
Cracks After Holding Bobby
Even for First Nine Holes
of 36-HoIe Contest

st. Andrews. Scotland, May ST.
R-Bobby Jones today added the
British amateur championship to his
long string of major golf titles by de-
feating Roger Wethered in the So
hole final match. seven and six.
1t was the only major golf cham
pionship which the Atlanta barrister
had not won at least once before.
Jones followed his custom of play
ing against par while his opponent
played Jones. The American was not
over par on any hole In. the morning
and as he had two brides, he fin.
ished his first round, two under per-
feet figures.
In the afternoon he went one over
par on two holes but had two brides
to offset these lapses. so he was two
strokes under par for the days play.
Jones and Wethered fought a great
battle through the first nine holes
OF the match, starting home for the
flrst time all square, but in the second
nine OF the morning Bobby drew away
and went to luncheon four up.
Again a close battle developed In
the first nine holes of the afternoon
found, Wethered cutting away one Of
the Americans holes with a sensa.
Ion putt for a birdie three at the
oath.
The American open champion,
however. regained his morning lead
and added another hole by winning
the 25th and 26th and halving the
9th. starting on the last lap, five I'm.
Jones In the 30 holes Of play, scored
% fours. three Of them brides. He
required five strokes on only three
holes. n a par, and the other two a
stroke over par.
1900 Sec Finish
It was estimated more than II. 1000
persons saw the finish, or attempted
to see it. Fully 5000 were jammed in
q great circle around the 18th hole
OF the Course-the 30th of the match
while others were waiting at other
holes.
Wethered, after having trouble tn
the morning with his long game
Strengthened it in the afternoon ano
not until he played the 18th was there
a hook to his drive.
The Englishman was regarded a.
definitely finished when Jones started
home for the last time five UP, but
faint hope persisted that he might
rally and make the match close.
These were dampened when Jones
scored a birdie at the 18th and halved
the 18th.
At the deciding hole Wethered had
a three-foot putt for a half which
would have made Jones' dormie and
kept the match alive for at least one
more hole, but the slender English
man missed as he had missed several
others only slightly longer.
Boobies Rescue Players
With difficulty Jones and Wethered
were rescued from the crowd by
Burly Scot Boobies" who escorted
them to the Royal and Ancient club
house for the cup presentation cere-
monies.
When Jones takes the amateur cup
home with him it will mark the third
bisit Of the historic trophy to the
United States. w. j. Travis carried
it across the Atlantic for the first
time in 1904 and not until 1926, when
Jess w. Sweetser won, did it pay IN
other visit.
