Jones Thinks 1913 Score
Will Win Open Tourney
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, July II

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 10
IVA (C.P.A.) - Bob Jones, who
should know something about
such things. believes q score of 2s3
win win the United States national
open golf championship that started
over the sun clustered Interlachen
course here today.
Others differ in their opinions, but
the concensus Is that the winning
figures will range somewhere between
288 and 294.
Such surmises, of course, are based
on the absence of any heavy breezes
during the championship. Willie
Kidd, the veteran Interlachen pro-
fessional, declared that the presence
or absence Of winds will have a ire
mendous effect upon the scores. So
far there has been no wind-npt even
a zephyr-to ripple the tall,grasses of
the rough, and, with the temperature
playing the course in more than 100,
nearly every player was willing to
sacrifice the calm for q bit OF breeze
and cooler weather.

sat.onal game that made him one Of
the worlds greatest. The "Haig" has
conferred his efforts largely on the OUT
ward nine in practice and has turned In
two dazzling S2's, four under par.
Armouris chance appeared to rest In
his superior iron play. While Inter-
lachen requires healthy drives straight
all the way, 1t is more Of course for
an iron expert of Armour'S caliber.
Farrell and Diegel, threats in any
mans tournament. appeared strictly on
top OF their games. The strain and
worry has passed from Farrells face
and he is banging out his shots like he
did in 1928, when he defeated Bobby
in the 36-hole play-off for the title.
Diegel has been trifle wild in practice
with his pitches to the elevated, trap
ped green's, but he is none the less the
Diegel who won the professional golfers
title a year ago.
Interlachen, stretching over 6,672
yards, doesn't boast the tough reputa-
ton Of many of the former national
open scenes, but 1t does have pitfalls
galore. The rough holes are O great
menace for those who have a habit of
slapping their drives along the fairway
fringe. A ball landing l foot of the
fairway is in more dangerous lie than
a ball sliced or hooked 20 feet of, as
the rough Trims out away from the
fairway.
Greens Declared Tricky.
The green's are Of bent texture, and
the golfers complain each has from
three to four different slants or rolls.
There are eight par 4 holes, however,
that can be reached with drive and
a sound mashie niblick shot; there are
four easy par holes, four par holes
that promise to produce brides and two
par holes that require use of woods in
the fairways. These last two holes are
expected to make or break golf hopes.
They are the first and fourteenth, and
there is trouble for any golfer.
Estimates on the total needed to win
the 72-hole medal play championship
today varied between 2S7 to 296. Hagen,
one of the shrewdest observers of the
game as played and as a player, esti-
mated 294 would win, Jones thought 1t
would be around 292.
IF any one gets 287. we all might
as well pack up our war clubs and go
home" Bobby said.
Today'S initial drive was 1S holes. A
similar round will be played tomorrow,
with q final SO holes Saturday. After
Fridays round the low so and ties will
fight it out over the final 36-hole
journey. If a play-off is necessary, as
it has been for the past three years,
It will be decided over 36 holes Sunday.

MUST CONQUER HIM
TO WIN OPEN TITLE.
Grind Is On, With Number OF
Players Given Chance to
Dethrone Bobby.
BY PAUL r. NICHOLSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NJ INNEAPoLIs. July 1O.-Best
M Bobby Jones!
vi That was the cry at old
Interlachen today, as Ameri-
cas- golfing stars-and a Britisher,
too-faced blazing sun and a veritable
purgatory of traps and bunkers in their
first major offensive for the cherished
National Open championship.
If the emperor of golf has cracked
under the mental strain Of his invasion
of England, he has failed to reveal it
during four days OF practice on the
championship course. The Jones drives
haven't been quite up to his standard,
but his iron and putting game looked
Just like they have for the past eight
seasons. It was the same Bobby Jones
against virtually the same field he con-
quered at Winged Foot last year.
Threatening him among the 142 en-
tries were the big ten" OF pro golf
Walter Hagen, Horton Smith, Johnny
Farrell, Gene Sarazen, Tommy Armour,
Macdonald Smith, Leo Diegel, Al ES-
pinosa, Bill Mehlhorn and Denny Shute.
A host of dangerous amateurs, including
Great Britain's single entry, Cyril
Tolley, and the present and former
American national amateur champions
jimmy Johnston and George Won
Elm-also were granted outside chances.
Jones' Greatest Rivals.
From glance at the championship
course and past performances, it APP
peared that Jones' CHIEF menaces were
Hagen, Farrell, Armour and Horton
Smith. They have shown good golf
during practice rounds and Hagen, es-
pecially, seemed to be back to the SEN

ENTRIES for most of the Washing

and this mornings mail brought a
flock of applications. 1t will be a week
or two before the number of participants
in the metropolitan tournament will be
known, for the out-of-town lists are
still open.
MANY requests are being received to
wi delay Washington preliminaries on
Fairgrounds which for sometime
have been without regulation shoes, due
to late action by Congress on District
appropriations. Pitchers in the neigh
borhoods affected want more time to
practice.
DOWN at Berryville, Va, where w.
~ N. Rutherford is chairman, the
tune-up competition is so close
that a keen struggle for championship
honors is almost certainty.
Among the leading pitchers enrolled
are Page w. Rutherford, Edward H.

is coming back strong for the second
annual championships sponsored by The

Mrs. Berkeley @. Calfee, county cor
respondent, has this to say about it:
Dick Weaver, county chairman, is
a smiling man these days, for not only
did his good horse, Boston Boy, come in
first Of the field in the steeplechase on
both days of the Culpeper show, but
entries for the coming horseshoe tour
narnent are pouring in thick and fast,
and the entrants include some of the
most prominent people in this and the
adjoining counties of Madison and Rap
pahannock.
mot that prominence means anything
when you get to swinging a horseshoe,
but the names on these entries do mean
that people in general are taking a great
interest in the sport and getting mighty
fond of it.
Something entirely new in horseshoe
pitching annals here is the entry of sew
eral women.
THE courts, which are in the same
location as last year, in shady lot at
the side OF the Weaver Motor Co. Build
ing on North Main street, have been
the scene of many battles lately as ex-

= to take their clubs in hand to-
morrow and brave the twin ter
rors of the Severn River and the woods
which frings the high cliffs overlooking
that body of water in the qualifying
round Of the Sherwood Forest Invitation
golf tourney tomorrow.
With nearly so players entered and
paired for the qualifying round from
the Capital, it appeared today that as
the entry list expanded by way of post
entries, Washington would have the
largest representation in the Sherwood
Forest event it ever has had. Not all
the leading players of the Capital have
entered, but among those who have
sent in their names are many promi-
nent contenders and few who have
won golf tournaments.
John c. Shorey, winner at Woodmont,
who has been burning up golf courses
about washington lately is one of the
tomorrow with Roger Peacock, another
youthful star. Here are a few of the
contestants In the tourney from the
Capital: M L. Brownell, A, Strohm,

Most of the Washington men are
listed to start in the medal round after
lunch, but few Of them have been
paired to start before noon. The tour
ney will start with an 18-hole qualifica-
ton round tomorrow, to be followed by
the usual four-match-play rounds. The
semi-final and final rounds will be
played on Sunday. In past years Wash
ingtonians have dominated the tourney.
Bannockburn golfers are in for a
couple of days of fun and mutual re-
ball foursome over the Glen Echo course
over the week end. The tournament
listed for Bannockburn will consist of
10 holes medal play, with full handicap
allowance. 1t viii be played in the
usual two-hall style. with one ball to be
played by each twosone, each man
stroking alternately.
But 1t differs from the usual two-ball
event, for the contestants are not to
alternate in driving. If one member of
the twosome has driven on the previous
tee and his partner holes out, the first
member shall again drive of the next
tee. In other words, the players will
really alternate in their strokes. Entries
will close at 2:30 Sunday afternoon with
the club professional.
The gents who control the destinies
of the United States Golf Association
are giving the prospective contestants
in the national amateur championship
plenty Of time to get in their entries
for the title chase. to be played at
Philadelphia September 1927, inclusive.

TINE following is a brief sum-
mary of the most impor-
taT tb news seven of d tns e TSTld
March /:
FRANCE.--On February IS Camille
ChautempS presented himself to the
Chamber with his new government and
read his ministerial declaration. 1t was
very discreet document; substantially
Tardieu's program, with some, not
great, proposed extension of "produc-
tive" expenditure for the behoof of
industry and agriculture and OF ex-
penditure for social amelioration, some,
not great, tax reductions beyond those
proposed by Tardieu; the policy to be
pursued at the Naval Conference to be
faithful continuation of that in
stituted by Tardieu.
Evidently M. ChautempS was de-
feated by the votes on which he had
counted Of certain members of the
Left Center who felt that the overthrow
of the Tardieu government was, under
the circumstances, somewhat wanton
proceeding. M. Herriot was talking
through his hat when he exclaimed:
There are in the groups associated
with the Right enemies of the re-
publican regime. There are others who
desire to see priests back in the
schools"
The rejection of NJ Chautemps left
the situation very much in the air.
Obviously there is no clear majority
for the Right or Left, in view of which
it is doubtful that the present Cham
Der can live out its normal term. Once
only has a Chamber failed to do so,
and new elections just now would be
internationally embarrassing; as re-
CARDS the Naval Conference and the
Young plan. The Left is confident, and
apparently justly so, that general cleo

1890 in the naval air service and 1912
in the auxiliary service. Our figure in
cludeS every one on every "beefboat"
and hospital ship.
The total strength Of our enlisted
personnel is limited by our appropri-
ations. It can be extended by paying
less to more people, contracted by pay
ing more to fewer people. 1t varies up
and down around a median line of
about $4,000.
Personnel Program Neglected.
American naval experts frequently
express regret that up to the present
time no personnel program has accom-
panied any building program. The five
new light cruisers TO be commissioned
within the year, they say, will require
about $3.50 men. How will they be
provided?
At the same time, our Is battleships
in full commission this last year had an
allowance for only 9l.9 per cent of their
fun complement, our present 10 first
line cruisers had only 92.6 per cent, our
2 first-line aircraft carriers only 87.5
per cent and our 103 first-line destroy
ers only S5.5 per cent of their compile
ment.
In other words, our appropriations
have not been suf1cient to man the
existing Navy properly, although every

period only by showing strong personal
need, such as contributing to the sup
port Of aged and inf1rm parents, or by
buying his release.
Where the British Navy looks to see
that its recruit Is not too old, our Navy
looks to see that he is not too young
We seek to be sure that he is mature
enough for free choice and we refuse
to keep unwilling workers. At that our
men are not exactly aged. Twenty-Five
thousand of them are between 81 and
"a and half of them are between 81 and
90 years old.
The boy Of II Is accepted only when
he can show all sorts Of consent"
papers and age certificates. Like all
others, he is enlisted only for a term of
four years, after which he may choose
whether he will re-enliSt or not. The
outside upward age for enlistment is
81, and II he is 10 or younger he may
choose, when he attains his majority,
whether to remain In the service.
Staying because they wished to, more
than ~ per cent Of the total men in the
Navy re-enlisted this last year. The
large majority of them were second
term men or better. It is q Navy saying
that II a man once re-enlistS he is
theirs for life. The greatest loss Is at
the end Of the first four-year term.
