Jones, "Golden Golf Gem" From Georgia,
Lacks Equal as Gate Attraction
ehe played in two British Amateurs

he played in two British Amateurs
and won one.
Jones broke down all golfing
barriers. When that unwearled
sun sank to rest at Merton on
September q, 1880, and Bobby
had holed the putt and made
him the only winner in history
of two amateur and two open
titles of British and America in
the same year, he had enough.
The strain of competition was
taking it's toll.
To turn back Memory's Fair
ways and say that this or that
shot, or this or that putt won
for Jones in this or that cham
pionship, is merely prefacing a
volume. Each shot brings up
another. That 12-foot curling
putt on the final hole at Winged
Foot, to tie with Al Espinosa
after blowing a six-stroke lead.
That spoon shot at Interlachen
on the seventeenth to seal the
final doom of COLTS unluckiest
mortal, Mac Smith.
That final birdie four at Scioto
in 1926 to win; all that host of
laundering drives that carried
the hazards of a thousand fair
ways; all those irons that pep
pered the distant greens as
though they were targets of a
rifle range: all those puts that
rolled along grooved lines to
waiting cups, as relentlessly as
Times scythe-all these were
just milestones scattered along
the fairways of the world, to
recall the glory of a golfer
named Jones.
First and Last
He played his first United
States amateur at Merton. He
played his last there-and won.
He played his first British open
at st. Andrews. He played his
last there-and won.
The thirty championships in
which he competed since 1916 in
cluded II American opens, four
British opens, 13 American anna
teurs, two British amateurs, and
the tablets commemorating his
victories are to be found at
Merton. Oak mont, Minikahda,
Brae Burn and Merton again in
the amateur. Inwood, Scioto,
Winged Foot and Interlachen, for
the opens. Abroad, Lytham and
St. Anne's, st. Andrews and Hoy
lake record his open victories and
St. Andrews his amateur crown.
All in seven years-what a rec
ord for a lifetime!

Although something happened
to his batting propensities in the
world series, Henry E. Manush,
better known as "Heinie," was the
leading Washington Griff batter

second in the American League

phia AS, who topped all the slug
gers, official averages show.
The garrulous Heinie played in
153 games, stepped to the plate
65S times, scored lis runs and
socked out 221 hits to gain his
recognition, his actual average for
the season totaling 1886. Joe
Kuhel was the second best Grltt
batsman with an average Of 1922.
Jimmy Foxx's percentage was
1856, including 204 hits in 573

the home runs manufactured off

with triples with a total OF II.
Foxx's home run collection was
48-by far the greatest number
of any of his batting brethren.
Marks Are Lower
All in all the batting marks
were surprisingly lower than in
other years. Foxx'S average was
the lowest for a leader since 1908
when Ty Cobb amassed the ter
rifying figure of that era-.324.
Also it was the fourth lowest in
the history of the American
League, Elmer Frick, of the Cleve-
land Indians, finishing with the
lowest in 1905 with a mark of .306.

BY NAN O'REILLY

A tablet stands on Memory's
Fairways on which is written in
letter of gold:
Robert Tyre Jones, jr."
The story of his golf career
beggers description. The white
spotlight Of an international
sport blazed on his tousled head
for a decade. He won 13 of the
major championships of the world
during seven years of that ten
year span. When he retired in
1880, at the age of %, he had in
his possession the four prize
crowns of the amateur world.
No wonder they called him EN-
peror jones'!
For "this was the greatest Ro-
man of them ALL" When Scot
land was supreme, old Tom Nor
ris sat on the throne. When the
scepter passed to Merrie England,
Vardon received the homage of
golfing mankind. When America
became the ruling golf nation of
the world, Bobby Jones put on
the old purple robe of authority.
And until his name and his Prov
ess become legend, he will re-
main the acknowledged master of
the game he loved DWELL.
Predominant FavOrite
Jones stands alone as a medal
golfer in the big-time circuits
From the time he fired his final
shot across the duck pond that
guards the eighteenth at Inwood
for his first title in 1928 until he
holed his winning putt at Merton
in 1880, he was the favorite in
every tornament he played.
Bobby Jones was a bucking
bronco in the rodeo Of profes-
sional golf that made every pro
rider of the fairways "claw leath-
er." And when his glorious ca
reer ended in 1880 he was Co.
loSsus bestriding a world, a lone
Alexander with no more worlds
to conquer. But, unlike Alexan-
der, he let the other fellows weep.
And the pros wept-with joy!
From 1923 to 1880 he had the
goat of every salaried golfer in
the field; he had to retire to turn
it loose. When they said they
hoped he'C. win because he was
the best golfer in the world, they
were simply whistling in a grave
yard. He was one long, unend-
ing menace to their peace of mind.
Made EN- Like 1t
When Jones was turned loose
in the golf arena you got the i'm
preston the lion tanner was play
ing the center ring, for he made
the boys Jump through hoops Of
fire and roll over barrels-and
like it! He was the first anna
teur in the history of sport to
make a monkey out of a whole
profession. He finally wearied of
whipping the same gang year in
and year out.
Bobby Jones trained on amateur
golfers seven years and on medal
golfers three; then he began his
phenomenal winning streak. He
made his breaks by winning: he
got the breaks because he was a
champion.
If some statistician were to fig
ure it out, every shot he played in
open competition was worth 500
in cash to the United States Golf
Association. No wonder the Off
cialS found his lost balls, made
special rulings on water hazards,
swept the water soaked green's and
started him at preferred times and
with hand-picked partners. They
should have; he rated it. If you

This golden gem from the old red
hills of Georgia was money in the
bank for the U. S. G. A. He poured
undreamed-of gold into the asso-
cations Golfers. How they miss
him these days!
Turned Down $15O,OOO
AS a box office attraction, Jones
has no equal in golf. Walter Hagen
offered him $150,00O for a years
tour, but Bob turned it down, al
though he finally stepped out Of
the amateur ranks in 1880 to rake
in the shekels.
Since he made his first appear
ance at Merton in 1916, Bobby has
been the most publicized golfer in
the world, thanks to his Boswell,
o. B. Keeler. His record was that
of a golfing Titan, sublime, awe
inspiring, thrilling. His winning
system was built on a philosophy
of even 4s-and let the rest of the
golfers worry. He played in IL
American Opens and four British; !;
even As would have won them all.
It won him seven.
Broke All Barriers
Among the amateurs he was
king, with the single exception of
George Won Elm, whom he met
three times and defeated twice. He
was at least 8 up on any simon
pure in the world before they left
the first tee. He played in 13
American Amateurs and won five;

hits in one game, to wit: three
doubles and a homer on April "a
and double, triple and two home
runs in the second game Of a
double-header on July 2, while on
June 8 he tied the league record
for three home runs in one game
On August IA, Mr.. Jimmy set a
new league record when he drove
in nine runs off the pitching of
Willis Hudlin and Belve Bean, of
the Cleveland Indians. He drove
in seven runs in the game of April
"a and during the season ac-
counted for five runs driven in,
five times.
Foxx totaled 4O3 bases alto
gether and it marked the second
consecutive year in which he has
totaled more than 400. In 1882
his total was 438. It also was the
fifth consecutive year in which
Jimmy has driven across 100 or
more runs, leading in 1882 with
1859 and this year with 1863.
Longest Batting Streak
Heine Manush had the longest
consecutive batting streak of the
campaign, hitting safely at least
once from July % to August 25.
This embraced 33 games. Sam
West, of the st. Louis Browns,
opened the season with six con-
secutive hits in six consecutive
times at bat, the feat being &C
complished on April 13 against
Pitchers Lyons, Heving and Kim
sey, of the Chicago White Sox.
This tied the American League
record. West, incidentally, tied
Foxx' record of collecting four
long hits in game when he
socked out double, two triples,
and home run against Chicago,
on August five.
Lou Gehrig played in every
game during the season to run
his consecutive game total to 1850.
He started this streak on June
l, 1925.

1t Is Always True

A SOUTHERN CITY issues
two kinds of food orders to the
unemployed, one for white and
another for colored. There is no
attempt to hide this discrimin-
alton as these orders are clearly
marked "for colored," and "for
white"
A comparison of these orders
showed 10 items of food for Ne
eroes and "a for white. The
white order calls for oatmeal,
milk, eggs or stew meat, cleo
margarine and macaroni. These
items of food are excluded from
the orders given to Negroes.
Even when food is given away
to the poor in these Southern eli
ties there must be discrimination
against Negroes. Where there is

never gives justice to the minor
ity group. That is the reason
