Jones Still Has Chance.

THIS tournament, by the scores,
/ still belongs to 35 golfers, for
Bobby Jones, in thirty-fifth
place, still has his chance on a course
that demands such a wide variety OF
shots. Even Paul Runyon, star of
the Winter circuit, one Of the greatest
young golfers of all time. needed "a
where he has been turning in scores
from IS to 66. And he will also be
there at the finish.
The roistering wind played its usual
share of havoc. 1t is still sporting
chance for most of the field, with
more interest than I have seen in
years. The crowd is for Bobby-the
field is, naturally. all against him
and he has all he can handle from
now on to regain the lost chord. The
old symphony Of the short game
where nerves count for more than
anything else. as every star and every
duffer knows.
The long route is under his control
Power still is at his command But
the matter of handling the shorter
road. where nerves rule the way. is
something that Bobby must face anc
meet before he can ever hope to lead
this field.
The second round today will tell q
big part of the story. If Jones doesn't
bound back he is doomed.

But I have a secret hunch that it

Washington's twin entries in the
masters " tourney at Augusta must
materially improve their scores of the
opening round if they are to get any,
where in the tournament. Al Hough-
ton, Kenwood pro, shot an opening
round card of II yesterday, while Fred
Mcleod of Columbia took 80 whacks
to get around the Augusta national
layout. Houghton was out in SO, but
took Al coming home over the harder
last nine. His second shots were
going wide of the greens, and when
you miss those greens the short pitch
or chip is very difficult Mcleod also
was having trouble getting to the
green's. Those putting greens at Au-
gusta are not heavily trapped In
fact, the entire course boasts of only
10 traps. But if the green is missed
the chip or short pitch usually is
over mound with a tricky roll to
negotiate. Even Jones couldn't fathom
the chip shots, for he took rs over
that opening round.
Frank K. Roesch, 1881 District
champion, is steadily moving back
into the swing of the game which he
used to play so well. Frank scored
a 73 at Washington two days ago, and
he missed two or three puts which
he should have made, among them
a short one on the sixteenth, where
he took S. He is going to be hard
to beat this year if his game at pres
ent is any criterion.

and more out of control.
They fail to respond to muscular con-
troll or the direction of the brain.
There is no other way to account
for the fact that Bobby Jones, play
ing for the first time on the come
back trail, finished his first start
in thirty-fifth place.
Here was his battlefield Of golf,
the course he had been playing for
many weeks between IS and II, but
when full pressure was applied for
the first time since Merton, 1880,
it was the delicate part of the game,
the touch and the timing, that sent
him crashing far from the top.
rarely have seen his long game
better. He was able to hit his tee
shots far and straight. On all four
OF the par holes, between 480 and
$50 yards. he was on the green in
2. with two nightly slashes at the
ball. He had all his freedom and
power left.
He still. was the Beau of Dixie,
the golfng monarch of the world, at
the longer range.
He hit two spectacular shots at
the long 480-yard fourth hole. where
across a deep ravine he had putt for
g.
He struck off a brilliant brassie
at the 520-yard eleventh. From a
doWnhill lie the ball stopped 4 feet
from the cup.
He hit two magnificent shots at
the uphill 510-yard seventeenth,
reaching the green in two powerful
wallops.
But apparently in this first round
the resting and ruSting years had
demanded their toll in the way of
nerves. For it so happened that
Bobby Jones could hit no type of shot
that demanded delicate control.
After a brilliant long game he
missed four short approaches around
l2O and l4O yards. His pitch shots
went astray. He missed four short
chip shots, that failed to stop even
close to the pin. He missed 5 puts
that he would have holed in the old
days.
He had a long game that called
for 66. He had a short game that
called for an 85 or higher. He had
rhythm and power, all he ever had,
when he could turn himself loose.
He was foundering when he needed
full control of highly tense nervous
system, where only control was
needed.

Bob Near Chief Rivals.

A THOUGH six shots out of first
n place, Jones was no worse than
two or three strokes away from
the professionals regarded as his chief
opponents over the full stretch. Shute
and Diegel are only three shots to
the fore while Macdonald Smith
Macfarlane and Paul Runyan, the
Winter circuit star. with whom Jones
is paired. have only two shots advan-
tage. Horton Smith and Wood appear
the only outstanding threats enjoying
a wider margin over the Georgian.
Although disappointed, Jones still
entertained hopes of pulling his short
game together. After an hour on the
practice putting greens yesterday
Bobby said he believed he had located
the fault in his putting. He was of
the opinion he had been breaking his
right wrist too quickly.
After he altered this point the puts
began dropping and Jones looked to
the second round with more conf
dence.
Bobbys play from tee to green has
been very good and if he regains his
putting stroke his position may be
greatly improved when he posts his
score late this afternoon.

his chip back and needed a 5.
On the 500-yard seventeenth he
was home in 2, up hill, took 3 puts
and needed another 5.
On the 420-yard eighteenth he hit
a mighty vallop over 300 yards. He
played mashie niblick on his Sec
ond shot, bounded over the green,
missed his chip back and needed a g.
He finished 5-5-6. where he might
easily have finished 3-4-4.
And the main answer was a ner-
vous system that had suddenly. under
heavy pressure, got beyond his
control.
I have played over 20 rounds on
this course with Bobby Jones. from
the back tees. and never have seen
him higher than II. On his first
start he needed a rs to finish in
thirty-flfth place because his short
game cracked wide open-pitches,
chip shots and puts.

position of being six strokes behind
the leaders and in a tie for thirty
fifth place in a field of 70. He shot
rs yesterday and all the strokes the
former world champion lost were due
to inaccuracy around the greens. He
missed at least a half dozen puts OF
less than feet.
