There used to be yarns about this
youngster hoping that he would bean
some member of the gallery that an
noyed him with long drive. At that
you hardly could blame serious young
golfer for wanting to dent the skull
of some members of some galleries.
Also there are tales of young Bobby
Jones breaking up his clubs like an
iraScible old gentleman who is Just be-
ginning to learn this calm and phil
osophicai game.
But today 1t seems that Bobby Jones
was not the spoiled child of the links
that the golf writer's described. Either
that or the game very thoroughly I'M
spoiled him. I prefer to believe that
he never was spoiled or even slightly
spoilahle. Certainly today there Is no
better liked sports hero than Barrister
Robert Tyre Jones, the favorite son Of
Atlanta, Ga.
There are times of the year when
Robert Tyre Jones comes very close
to being the greatest of the national
sports Idols. He has gone much
further in his particular games than
Dempsey or Tunney have in theirs
or even the great Babe Ruth in his,
which IL the national pastime. Also
the chances are that Jones will 60
on and on for years, while the days
Of the other athletes are numbered.
Dempsey and Ttlnney are out of it
and-w1ile 1t is dolorous to contem-
plate-Babe Ruth has not many years
to go as the leader and the playboy Of
the national paStime. There is no rea-
son why Robert Tyre Jones should not
be winning tournaments and champion
ships for 20 more years.
Now 1t usually comes to pass that
when champion holds any title for
any great length Of time the sports fol-
lowers. who take as much delight in
the destruction of an Idol as they do
IN its building, are as pleased as chill
dren blowing down the house Of cards
that they have built with infinite pa
thence and labor. There was some of
this in evidence at the last women's
tennis tournament at Forest Hills,
where they seemed to be wishing for
one Of the English visitors to beat Helen
Wills.
But there Is no sign Of this sort OF
feeling developing In the case Of Rob
ert Tyre Jones. When he was, beaten
in the first round Of the last American
Amateur championship the defeat be-
came almost q national tragedy. His
conqueror seemed to be resented unti]
he became almost apologize for havine
put out the great Jones.
The professionals love him, He 4
the darling Of the galleries who crowd
In on him more thickly and more vocif-
erously without developing the slight
est resentment on the part of the
always affable and cheerful young Mr..
Robert Tyre Jones.

DAILY, Who FOUGHT
91-ROUND GO, DIES ! }
Featherweight in 1890 Took
Part in Second Longest
Battle in History.

BY the Associated Press.
~ MAF1A, Nebr., January 30.-The
4 death of Dan DAILY, go, feath-
~ erweight fighter Of four dec
AIDES ago, in st. Louis yeSter-
day, recalled to the fathers and grand
fathers Of present-day Omaha fight
fans his memorable 91-round draw with
Tommy White in 1890.
The fight. held here December Z, 1890,
is in the record books as the second
longest in history.
In those days it was considered more
or less Of q disgrace If the battle did
not end in q knockout victory. Accord
tngly when, at the end of the ninety
tirst round the referee decided that the
two gladiators were too weak to con-
tinue, he called the fight a draw, and
each fighter was fined $50 because it
had not gone to q knockout.
During the fight the hands Of both
men were broken and each was so bad
ly bruised that weeks were required for
regeneration.
Sandy Griswold. veteran sports writer,
who died here within the last year,
wrote Of one Of the rounds:
I'm the seventy-flrst round. White
rallied all his strength for a final eff
fort to finiSh the man from Maine. He
went after him hammer and tongs style
and succeeded in staggering DAILY for a
moment. But Daily never lost his head
and smiled serenely as White hit him
several singing blows in the face and
neck. 1t looked as though White would
win, but when the next round was
called DAILY was as clipper as ever, while
White was plainly winded by his violent
efforts. From this time on it was evi-
dent that neither of the men could fin
ish thu other except by accident and it
was only question Of endurance.
Each battler received 5000 as his
share of the $500 purse after the 500
In fines had been deducted-which, to
drag out the rapid calculator, netted
each approximately 42.l9 per round.

CHICAGO, January 30.-The current
curiosity of the heavyweight ranks,
Primo Camera, the Italian giant, today

appearance, against Elzear Rioux, 209-
pound French Canadian, tomorrow night
at the Chicago Stadium.

robust, healthy young gentleman. who
Is inclined to corpulenee, which he is
fighting of.
At the age Of is he won the South
ern open championship and came North
to annoy many Of the veterans. Here
are q few records which will speak for
themselves, II they do not shout for
themselves. He won the national am
ateur championship In 1924, 1925, 1927
and 1928. He won the national open in
1923, 1925 and 1929. He won the Brit
ish open in 1926 and 1927.
That was the great year, 1927,
when he was just as unQueStionably
champion Of the world as was Jack
Dempsey before he encountered
Gene Tunney at Philadelphia. 1t
brought no little sadness to Great
Britain when q home-bred Ameri-
can beat them all in the home links
Of the game, the Royal and Ancient
of st. Andrews.
Until the advent Of Jones It seemed
almost impossible that they could de-
velop melodrama In the game of golf.
But even . layman who knows not the
great game-and their number becomes
increasingly less year after year
could read with a quickening Of the
pulse Of carries. that barely got there
and Of puts that seemed impossible
made while the gallery choked to pre-
serve the breathless silence that marks
the great moments In this game.
More than anybody else who ever
played golf, has Robert Tyre Jones
dramatized this game for the galleries.
King of the Links.
THERE are two factors which make
L Robert Tyre Jones the king of the
golfers" Concentration and co-ordina-
ton. One might develop concentration
to that extent by infinite labor and
patiences but those reflexes which Jones
possesses are natural and heavenasent.
are born because Of this necessary fac
The rhythm of the Jones stroke Is per-
feet, and that cannot be acquired by q
lifetime Of endeavor. A great musician
might play well on an instrument made
or inferior material, but even the great
est Of musicians could not play the
perfect music upon an imperfect in
strument. Jones developed the strength
ana the timing for the great drives, but
the refiexeS he always had. Practice
which sounds like deprecating the work
Of the great instructors, but it is true.
As to the golf temperament, Jones
has 1t, II anybody can tell what the
golf temperament happens to be. To
my notion. 1t seems to consist of an
even and philosophical state of mind,
which makes the golf temperament de-
cidedly different from what Is under
stood by temperament in any other line
Of work, art or play.
The golfers are the most normal and
light-hearted Of the sportsmen. They
do not, like the Others, eat, sleep and
think entirely In their line OF sports.
Travelling across with the Walker CUP
team to England a few years ago I
thought that the serious golf addicts
LETT behind would be shocked at the
light heartedness Of the American Golf
Expeofttonary Forces. And Jones was
the most light-hearted of all. Perhaps
that Is another asset that helped to
make him the WORLDS greatest golfer

FOOT BALL LILY WHITE

OMAHA, Nebr., January 80 R.-
Foot ball may have its faults, but Dana

lily white as compared to what it used
to be.
In q speech here he set forth a gen.
eral answer to the promulgators Of the
widely discussed bulletin % of the
Carnegie Foundation and to other
critics of college foot ball.
Faults probably still exist, but none
can have any doubt about the active
efforts to administer additional renne-
dies. Perhaps bulletin 20 and all this
other criticism we hear are beneficial
in calling attention to minor deficien-
cies."
