TREATED B Y
OSTEOPATH
!. FIRST
By JUNO KINERK

later IN the uay.
Shortly after his arrival in town
Ia the morning Bobby was whisk-
ed to his hotel and an osteopath
called to give him treatment. 1t
was explained that Bobby's illness
was only trifling matter, sim
plysa cold in his shoulder.
However, it is well to remem-
Der that reports have been cur
rent the past few weeks that
I Jones health is not of the best.
just Sunday while playing over
his own East Lake course news
seened out that Bobby had had q
siigf1t attack of appendicitis. Not
outstanding this Jones shot a
II, one under par.
Should Jones fail to reach
the pinnacle Of physical form
within the next week he may
be baked In his hopes to an
mex his fourth major title this
year-the u. S. Amateur,
which starts next Monday at
the Merton club In Philadel-
phia.
In the Amateur Jones will be
obliged to play Is holes each on
Monday and Tuesday in the
qualifying rounds. Following this
there are two 18-hole match play
rounds Wednesday, then the re
naming matches are at 36 holes
or less, the next three days, since
there are 80 qualifierS.
Should Jones go to the finals
he will be obliged to play l44
holes of golf in six days with all
but SO of them in four days,
severe test for q man who may
not he perfectly physically fit.
Besides Jones hates those first
two rounds of match play. In 49,
hole matches Jones fears the
jinx, for it is too short a. dis
tance for even a Jones to over
take q hot" opponent.
Last year, it will be remem-
bered, Jones was defeated at
Pebble Beach in the first 1S-
0U1C NAatC11 1WU1AU Uy OVA1AuJ
Goodman by the margin Of
/ up.
The whole world, of course,
Is pulling that this doesn't hap
pen this year. Bobby has al
ready won the other three major
titles Of golfdom, and the an
nexation of the fourth would be
an accomplishment unheard of in
golf annals. He is already U. S.
and British open and British
amateur title-holder.
Today's match finds him paired
with Roland Mackenzie in
four-bal1 match against Macdon-
aid Smith, the veteran New York
pro, whom he led home in both
the British and U. s. Opens by
two, strokes, and Fred Mcleod,
the Columbia pro-
The entire proceeds of the
match go to Bobby McWatt, the
eld-time Columbia pro, now q
hopeless cripple as the result Of
an unfortunate automobile acci-
dent two years ago. The money
realized today will purchase
miniature course for . McWatt.
This is expected to furnish him
with a steady source of income,
since he no longer can follow his
own profession.
