urday. It has been billed as the battle

Meanwhile talk of the match in which
Smith and Bobby Jones we're to appear
with George Voigt over local course

simmered down, and nothing has been
heard of this forthcoming affair fol-
several weeks, although its sponsors
were enthusiastic in their prediction, q
lew weeks ago, that 1t was definitely on
Bobby lands in New York on July 4
and II he Is to play over Washington
course for the benefit of McWat5 he
will have to do some fast work. The
national open starts at Minneapolis on
July 10, and Bobby like the other COM
petitors, always wants at least two days
OF practice before big championship
Which means that IL he Is to play al
Washington he will have to do so In
quick order, and the chances are he will
want TO spend day or two in Atlanta
So the probability is that Bobby will
not appear here, If at Ill. until aftei
the national open championship.
