The bully had q bullet head,
His neck Uds large and rough and red
But wait-there 1ras a quiet stranger,
Who matched the bully take his

That he uas 1.-the but far outwetghed.
And then, as you torsee quite fully.
Serene, determined and at ease,
He lays styn1ie for the bully
With "just a moment, it you please"
And ducking from the bearlike hug
He lays harsh hands upon the thug.
Unmindtul of the dramas motion
With sweep OF arm and snap OF

TINE tournament will be just an

eran AL Espinosa. who lost an
open title play-of to Jones in 1929
but he concurs in the view of others,
including Al Watrous and Craig Wood,
that Jones is hitting the ball as well,
If not even better at times than he
ever did. WatrouS, who has played
with Jones within the past six months,
said: He could be ready for the
national open in Is minutes"
To Horton Smith. who has the dis
tinction Of being the last pro to beat
Jones in open competition, feat he
accomplished in the Spring of 1880
at Savannah, the question is whether
Bob will have the old fighting urge"
and sufficient concentration to win,
after his lay-off, but Horton disputes
the view of anybody who thinks the
Georgian will just go through the
motions at Augusta.
"One of the finest things about
Jones'" says Smith, lis that he always
tries and when beaten, is beaten fairly
and squarely."
This prompted Smiths brilliant
partner, Runyan, to add: There's
only one thing I hope and that is that
the Augusta tournament ends up in
a man-to-man fight with one of our
pros against Jones. 1t won't do us
any good to have him win, but on the
other hand, it won't do US any good
to have six or seven pros beat him.

Pace Faster, Says Hagen.

~ NATURALLY we are all wonder
~ ing what Jones will do says
Walter Hagen, whose all-time
tournament record rivals that of the
Georgian. His recent IS at Augusta
would indicate he is playing as well
as ever, but the question is whether
he can return to real competition,
after a four-year lay-off, and go the
full 72-hole route the way he used to
do. There is no question in my mind
that the pace is faster, from scor-
ing standpoint, since Jones retired.
We are playing a different ball and
there's a crop of youngsters, headed
by Runyan, playing great golf. Right
now Runyan is our Jones, and from
the professional standpoint he is play
ing as fine golf as Jones ever did.
KY Laffoon, Johnny Revolta and
Others have come along fast in re-
cent years, too
Tom Creavy, Witty Cox and Denny
Shute share Hagen's opinion that
Jones will find the pace a lot sitter,
but Phil Perkins, the former British
amateur champion, now in the pro
ranks, believes the old mental atti-
tude" about Jones will affect the Wis
iting sharpshooters THE boys will
be asking What's Bobby DOING" says
Phil. but you won't hear him asking

The American Side.


ONE reason the layers put the Sen
ators at even money against the
field is that only the Yankees,
and possibly the Red Sox, are given
a chance to beat thern-and the Red
Sox have a long way to climb from
1888.
But the Yankees are no longer NOV
ing into battle with the general idea
they can win in a slow walk, which
happened to be their mental atti-
tude just a year ago. When they
bagged the first seven games of the
season. it was merely matter OF
walking home on their hands.
They will have an entirely different
mental makeup this season, so far as
a hustling attitude counts.

stead of the Black and Gold Of
Princeton, but the margin was no
