BOBBY JONES 10 WITHDRAW FROM GOLF COMPETITION
King Of Players, With No More Worlds to Conquer, RetireS

HOLDS ALL FOUR MAJOR

Atlanta Lawyer, Sensation Since He

 Writing of Game for Newspapers.
 New York, Nov, r GP-Robert T. Jones, Jr., champion Of golf cham pions and holder of all the major titles of the United States and Great Britain, today announced his re- tirement from competition.
 Jones, having no more worlds to conquer in the royal and ancient sport. made known his decision in q statement issued on his behalf through Herbert H. Ramsay, eXecu- tive vice president of the United States Golf association.
 Jones, in an elaborate statement setting forth his decision and the reasons prompting it, revealed he signed a contract four days ago with Warner Brothers Pictures. He will undertake his movie work in the spring and, after it's completion, de- vote himself to his law practice ID Atlanta.
 Neither Jones nor Warner Broth CTS mentioned the financial details concerned but it was reported the champion would work on a basis of q guarantee, plus a percentage of the profits from exhibition of the films, in anticipation of a national as well as international distribution of the pictures. It was estimated the venture would mean perhaps as much as $250,0OO to Jones.
 Jones declared flatly he had no intention whatever of turning pro- fessional, explaining that he was prompted to retire from the com pctitive field because he was con- vinced his motion picture contract conficted with the spirit, if not the actual letter, Of the amateur rule.
 He did not specifically refer tc whether he would continue, at any time, in open golf play, but indicat- ed he was through altogether witl championships
 The text of Jones' statement:
 Upon the close of the 1880 golf ing season, I determined immediate ly that I would withdraw entirely from golfing competition of seri- Ous nature. Fourteen years of in tense tournament play in this coun- try and abroad had given me about all l wanted in the way of hard work in the game. 1 had reached q point where l felt that my profess sion required more of my time and effort leaving golf in it's proper place. means of obtaining recrea- ton and enjoyment.
 My intention at the time was to make no announcement of retire ment. but merely to drop out quietly by negleCting to send in my entry to the open championship next spring.
