At the same time, Senator
Jones apostasy was not com.

almost did, at that.
Rally at Eleventh
At the eleventh, they gave a
rare performance for two cham
pions, but Jones came through
with a characteristic rally.
Bobby's tee shot was well be-
yond the green, while Tolley
missed his effort, the ball stop,
ping in the rough. 40 yards short
Then, while the huge gallery
gaSped. he twice dubbed at,
tempted pitches, but finally got
his fourth on the green. Then
Bobby dubbed his chip shot, but
Immediately hit a great third
dead for a winning 4.
Jones lost the twelfth, the
match becoming all square again,
but won the thirteenth with a
birdie and was l up again.
Then Tolley came back to take
the fourteenth and square it.
The hefty Briton out-drove the
green at the twelfth with a 800,
yard tee shot, while Jones was
short and then missed his ap'
proach. His third rolled 1S feet
past the pin. Tolley clipped back
with his second. inside Jones
ball, and Bobby failed to get his
putt down, losing the hole to a
par 4.
A Break for Bobby
Bobby got another break at the
thirteenth where his drive hit q
galleryite when headed for the
whins. Both got their approaches
home and faced 40-foot puts,
Tolley being we'll short with his,
Bobby then dropped his long putt
for a winning birdie.
Tolley and Jones still were all
square as they left the sixteenth
hole. It was the same at the
seventeenth and they headed for
the home hole, with everything de-
pending on their efforts there.
They halved the eighteenth,
but. at the nineteenth, Bobby
pitched his second home while
Tolley pulled his approach and
was 20 feet short of the pin with
his third. Jones, putting from
IS feet. overran the hole and
laid Tolley a wicked Stynie. He
attempted to negotiate it, but
failed, and a great match was
over.
The gallery gave Jones a re,
markable ovtaion as the winning
putt went down, almost mobbing
him in its efforts to tender con
gratulationS. The demonstration
gave vivid testimony of the
American eagles popularity at
the headquarters of the world
