Britain, because he more closely
approximates the American style
of hitting the ball. Eric Fiddian,
Rex and Lister Hartley, and Roger
Wethered are all fine players"
Roland says, "but have not been
able to do much against our best
golfers. Cyril Tolley, on his good
days, can beat any one, but his good
days do not come all the time"
So there you have the two pre-
dictions. Sarazen, whose batting
average in golf predictions meas
ures about up to the average of
the British in winning Walker
Cup victories, and Roland Mac
Kenzie, who has played in three
Walker Cup matches.
The story will be told early in
May, when the two teams meet
over those classic fairways at st.
Andrews.
Personally we'll string along with
Roland. The American team, even
though It has no Jones, is too
strong this year. For it has its
George Dunlop, its Francis Ouimet,
its Lawson Little and its twin
Johnies-Goodman and Fischer.

The Augusta Return.

A 1T so happens, Jones is not re-
n turning as has-been, attempt
ing to find what middle age
might bring.
He is 80 years old this month. 1t
is amazing that at 80 one can look
back on Is years of active competi-
ton and years of retirement from
the scene.
But Bobby Jones was a fine golfer
and strong contender for sectional
championships when he was 13.
He was among the last eight in the
United States amateur championship
at IA, and at %, he had no more
bunkered realms to conquer with IL
major golf crowns packed away.
Bobby Jones. returning in some
minor competition, would be of only
passing interest But Jones, about
ready TO trade cudgels again with a
field that will produce Dunlop, Hagen.
Goodman, Armour, Macfarlane, Smith.
Ouimet, Runyan, Revolta, Farrell
Craig Wood, and some 40 or so other
top rankers, the younger and the
older crop, is another matter.
In one way Bobby Jones did the
wise and sensible thing in retiring as
he did-at the prime and the pinnacle.
In another way it always seemed a
shame that the world of sport should
lose the artistic beauty of swing and
the grace of action that stood alone
1t was not only what he did, but the
way he did it. He painted picture
against the skyline that few can for
get.
SO many queries have already come
in about his next competition that no
harm can be done in repeating few
facts.
The tournament will be held over
the dogwood- Lined Augusta National
course, starting Thursday.
There will be 18 holes of medal play
each day for a 72-hole total.
The field, in addition to Jones, will
bring together some so of the best
professional and 10 of the best anna
teurs.
There will be more than $4,000 in
prize money for the 10 or II leading
pros.
In addition there will be a long
distance driving test over leve. stretch
of ground, where only carry is counted.
How far can the longest hitting pros
carry? What is the general average?
This test will furnish a large part
of the answer.
There also will be a test of ircn
play at 1870 or 1870 yards.
These will both be interesting eX-
periments in the laboratory of golf.

Most of those who drop out of the
parade for four years usually stand
with the forgotten men. But not
Bobby Jones. Not only his brilliant
golf but his striking personality and
his sportSmanship combined to bring
him worldwide popularity. He caught
and held the fancy of crowds from
California to Scotland, from Pebble

A OFFER by the Maryland State
n Golf Association to include its

proposition is to add several hundred
dollars to the purse of the National

title of National Capital open champ
the crown of the Maryland State As

The proposal was made several days
ago in informal conversations between
Bill Hall of the Maryland State body
and Al Houghtonn, Kewood pro, and
now has become formal in letter to
Royce Hough, chairman of the Ken
wood Golf Committee. While no ac-
ton has been taken by the club, it
hardly is likely that Kenwood will in

which the Kenwood Club has built

Other Factors.

THE Augusta national happens to
be an ideal test for both dis
tance and direction.
On many holes tee shots must be
placed to the right or left of the
fairway to permit an open shot to
the green, surrounded as much by
guarding mounds as by bunkers.
There are at least five holes where
only two long shots can reach the
green-holes ranging from 480 to
$40, which the bigger hitters, who
are accurate, can reach in 2.
And at two holes, if they fail, the
possible 4 jumps to or where
a water hazard intervenes.
The one general question that you
run into seems to be this:
What chance has Bobby Jones of
winning after a four-year lay-off
against such a field?"
In the first place, golf swing OF
the Jones type never gathers rust.
He is hitting the ball as well today
as he ever did-in friendly compe-
tition. I have seen him play round
after round between So and IL
