as a hot scramble among Walter

Ed Dudley and Abe Mitchell.
When the mist blew out to sea Dens-

at 292 for the British golf title and
Jack Crawford had the measure of
Ellsworth Vines in cne Of the hardest
duels that ever featured a Wimbledon
court.
Yesterday shute beat Wood in the
play of.
Crawford now has proved his
place by beating Cochet in straight
sets for the French championship
and later handing Vines a dose Of
poison to prove that Australia now
must be regarded formidable con-
tender for the famous Davis Cup.
The battle for the British Open at
st. Andrews was one of the hardest in
history. Hagen gave great show for
three rounds-and then time took its
toll. SaraZen had the title. he won a
year ago in his hands until six shots
in two bunkers just pushed him out of
first place. His was the bitterest Of all
the poisoned potions. Six shots to
emerge from two bunkers-and the title
passed.
The rush of Denny Shute and Craig
Wood to the front called for both fine
golf and web controlled nerves. They

FINAL NINE TW|TCH

Juggling Of British Open
Crown Typical Example
of Nerve Crack-up.
BY w. r. McCALLUM. b

ITHEY all blow over the
last round and particu-
i larly over the last nine"
It's an old axiom of
open championships which recurs
every year as a dozen competitors
face the last nine holes with the
golden crown dangling before
their faces, and then proceed to
steer their shots high, wide and
handsome until some lesS-favored
gent comes along and snatches
the bauble right from under their
eager noses.
Never has the old golf axiom been
better proven than 1t was in the Brit
ish Open championship last week, where
at least a dozen men whose names are
by-words wherever golf is played tossed
the championship around among each
other and permitted Densmore Shute,
the taciturn West Virginian, to tie with
Craig Wood, blond Adonis from New
Jersey, for the second most coveted
championship in the world They all
blow" says Sandy Armour of Congress
sional as he recalls the famous blows"
of other years. "They all blow" says
little Freddie Mcleod of Columbia. who
held the United States championship
himself Is years ago.
Five Had Big Chances.
"A T least five other Americans were
~ well in front of Shute and Wood
with only a few holes left to play
in that saga ot shot making which

ever was one, cost him too many strokes

Had Walter Hagen, who hasn't any
nerves, coasted along in the groove
which enabled him to lead the f1eld
over the first two rounds, he would
have won with strokes to spare. Had
Ed Dudley gone along in the quiet,
smooth manner that is his want he
would today be the British Open cham
pion. But they all blew, as title-seeking
golfers have blown from the time the
first feather ball was struck with the
first crooked stick. And Shute and
Wood coaSted in-tWo men who were
far back in the ruck as the more

Emperor Jones Different.

~HERE nave been countless col
lapses of just that kind in the
American Open. Denny Shute was
a party to one of them, joe Turnesa to
another, Diegel to still another, and
even the great Bobby Jones to still
another. But Jones had something the
others lacked. He could and did con-
tinue to bear down after bad hole.
Ore bad hcle didn't disrupt his mental
processes. as it did SO many others.
never will forget the 1929 Open at
Winged Foot where Denny Shute then
an unknown pro, needed only to play
the last four holes in par to win the
championship by shot. They were
tough pars, but Shute could pick up a
birdie on the sixteenth, a par 5 hole
which was being reached with drive
and iron. Instead of finishing with 4,
S, 4, 4-even par, he finished with four
SIS, hitting a drive so far on the six
teenth that his mashie-niblick second
carried over the green.
In that same championship Jones had
taken a on the fairly easy par eighth
hole. But he came back after tnat de-
bacle to hole l2-foot putt to tie with
Al Espinosa, who had taken an on
the lengthy twelfth. Jones gave him a
terrific beating in the playoLf, winning
by something like % strokes.
Bob Seizes Opportunity.
TONES never will forget the 1926
championship at Scioto, the year
- Bob won his first British Open. He
had come back to this country Win
chance TO American amateur ever hao
before to win the two major open titles
in one year. All through that torrlo
chase out there in the Ohio hay fields
Jones was struggling to catch Joe
Turnesa. The Elmsford boy was strok-
ing the ball smoothly and efficiently,
leading his field at the fifty-fourth hole
and apparently no one could catch him
But he slipped at the lcng twelfth tcok
a 5 at the short seventeenth and left the
way open for Jones to win. Never Will
the galleries forget the way Jones played
that 485-yard eighteenth hole, where
he needed a 4 to win He put all his
ITO stubby pounds behind colossal tee
shot that wound up in the edge OF the
rough 800 yards away, and then smackeo
a tremendous No. iron shot to the
green. His approach putt was stone
dead.
Bobby himself almost lost the 1923
championship-hi first major title-by
a collapse on the seventy-second hole
at Inwood. Here his ball wound up
at the left of the green behind a post
holding a gallery chain. He waited
while U. S. G. A. officials fused ana
tried to make a decision on removal
of the post. Finally they decided to
take it up, and then Bob. cooled on
after his efforts, dumped the ball INTO

Unless showers forecast for to-

expected and are fairly general, no
great change will result in Indiana
flood conditions, according to j. H.

Crest of the flood is expected in
the southwestern corner of the state
Saturday or Sunday, with Evans
vile and other points in the Ohio
river valley bearing the brunt.
Conditions at these points today
are the worst in the state. In gen.
eral, the Wabash and White rivers
are falling.
Twenty years ago Saturday, crest
of the 1913 flood, one of the worst
in the nations history, was reached
in Indianapolis.
At Evansville the Ohio river is at
forty-flve feet, only three below the
1913 flood crest. Fifty families have
been forced from their homes. Rome,
TobinSport, Tell City and Cannelton
are other points where flood con-
ditions are serious. Boats are the
only means of entering Rome and
TobinSport, and the main street of
Tell City is under two feet of water.
AS far south as Covington, the
Wabash river was falling today. At
Terre Haute, the stage is 3.3 feet
above the flood mark. The stage
is 1874 at Vincennes with crest of
