Pa, Sept. 27.-R-Bobby Jones
swamped Gene Romans, 8 and Z,
today, in the finals OF the U. S.
amateur championship. thereby
completing his unparalleled
grand slam In golf for 1890.
A wildly cheering and almost
uncomfortable gallery of up

Jones add the classic amateur
crown to his previous triumphs
this year In the British open, the
British amateur and American
open.
It was his fifth United States
amateur and thirteenth national
championship triumph. These
are also recods.
Tho fourth triumph ~ Jones
was the easiest Of any Of the pre-
vious three he scored this year to
complete his record : shattering
sweep Of all the golfing honors in
sight.
He Won the medal for the low
est qualifying SCORES, 142, which
tied the recod, and then swept
through five successive matches.
He was seldom In danger Of being
down to any opponent, much less
defeated
Jones Loses But Three Holes
Jones lost only 8 Of the ~ holeS
with Romans, one as q result
If being stymied and the others as
! result Of brides by the New Jer-
sey youth on the seventeenth and
twenty seventh holes. The quadruple
champion was Z up after Is holes
and 8 up at the twenty-second but
The match was prolonged seven more
holes, due to some cratic work by
the Georgian's putter.
Bobby played throughout as though
1t was just q good workout as q mat
ter OF fact. that was all 1t turned out
to be. Jones took early command of
the match and kept 1t.
AS q result there were comparative
" few thrills.
With the exception Of perhaps q
half dozen holes, Jones had trouble
his putting and, as q result. his
customary attack on par was con-
spicuous by its absence. He was only
? over par for his morning round, ~.
but he was four over par for the IL
afternoon holes played.
