ARMOUR ANALYSIS
OF BOB PANS OUT
No Other Linksman Could
Have Overcome Mental
Twists, Says Tom.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

A UGUSTA, Ga, April TT sat
~ with Tommy Armour discuss
~ ing the case Of Bobby Jones
4 - Tommy Armour Is not only
one Of the keenest analysts that sport
has known, but he has played with
Bobby for is years. Also he was one
Of the few who said the odds against
Bob should be 20 to l. or even greater
and that he had no chance to win
the masters tournament.
Competitive golf" Armour told me
"gets down to matter Of Just one
thing. That one thing is nerves. II
has wrecked more fine golf games thar
you ever will know about. I knew that
Bobby Jones, even granted that he
was superman, never had a chance
I'll tell you why. When Bobby was
winning championships his back swing
was slow and smooth. He waited
longer to hit the ball than any one ]
ever saw. But he was younger then
and his nerves were under control
They were trained for the job.
Now Bob Jones happens to be one
Of the most intelligent people ever
met. He has vivid imagination. He
Is no moronic Swinger who doesn't
even know there is a trap on the
course or that one can actually miss a
four-foot putt. Coming back to these
one-time stands, once q year, Bob's
nerves no longer are trained. That
slow, smooth back swing OF his can't
stand the subconscious urge to hit the
ball. No longer can he wait on the
stroke. No one else could. It is some
thing beyond any human achievement
It just can't be done. The nerves
simply explode and there is no way to
correct this fault, which isn't really a
fault It is vital part Of the human
makeup"
It's Nerves That Count.
NJERVES-ne Ar.
mour repeated Here you have
70 per cent of golf. The field Is full
Of fine swingers or good hitters. But
when your nerves no longer are trained
and conditioned to meet the test in a
game Of this sort you haven't a chance
Bob Jones still can hit the ball as
well as he ever did. He proved that
by playing five rounds in % under
par. That happens to be amazing
scoring. But it is another game when
you have to concentrate in the right
way and keep your nerves under con-
troll"
Doesn't this all get back to ten

A CCORDING to Joe Fletcher,
~ the rains of Sunday and yes
~ terday have not yet muddied
d n the waters Of the Potomac in
the vicinity of his boat house. On
Sunday IS anglers used his boats and
many more fished from the rocks on
both sides Of the river. The largest catch
of perch reported was IS, the ma
jority weighing about one-half pound,
with an occasional one-pounder being
landed. In another week the perch
should be uniformly larger, Fletcher
says. There is strong current in the
vicinity of Chain Bridge, and anglers
are warned to use every care when
they venture out in it. The safest
thing Is to fish close to shore In three
or four feet of water. Many siZable
catfish are being caught and also a few
rockfsh. It Is q little early for rock.
ON THE opening day of the trout
season in Maryland last week 800
automobiles were reported in the vicin-
ity of Fishing and Hunting Greeks.
This means there were approximately
2,4OO anglers whipping these streams
and that space for casting was at a
premium. These two streams un-
doubtedly have been affected by the
recent rains, but should clear within
"A hours.
Talbot Denmead Of the Bureau Of
Fisheries informs US that trout bite
best with the rise Of water, eating
everything washed into. the stream,
then for "A or 48 hours are not
hungry. He advises all anglers to

~ OBERT TYRE JONES, Jr., the
- young man from Atlanta, who
N is the big shot in the masters
L y tournament which ended yes
terday at Augusta and who has per-
formed like popgun in all three OF
them, never will do anything in his
own little links affairs at Augusta un-
less he gets down to the serious busi-
ness of making golf something more
than q pastime. He cannot hope to
compete and won't be able to hold
his own against the best Of the pro
brigade unless he does as they do,
which means training for tourna-
ments, eating and sleeping golf and
thinking of nothing else.
All of which comes from the man
who probably knows more about Bob
and the Jones game than any living
human being-the same being old Bill
Keeler Atlanta newspaper man who
has wept with Bob through the trying
years and gloried with him In his
many victories.
I've watched Bob play now In
three Augusta national tournaments, f"
o. B. said, "and while he seems to
be hitting the ball well enough he
can't get all his shots going at the
same time"

"OF COURSE there are other things
too. Bob no longer is keen to win
as he was in the days when he played
in all the major affairs. He would
give his shirt to win this one, but
he lacks incentive, more or less. It's
rather hard to explain, but my pri-
vate opinion is that Bob never will
win a tournament unless he plays in
enough Of them before the Augusta
affair TO get into the scoring swing.
You Just can't hop right into a fast
competition like this fresh and with
out any tournament experience for q
year behind you"
Most Of the professional players
feel Just that way, too. All of them
have the utmost respect and admira-
ton for Bob Jones, but they realize
how tough it Is for them, in constant
competition as they are, to win con-
sistently. How can you expect a
fellow who plays in one tournament
year to get out in front, no matter
how good he is," said Tommy Armour.
Bob Harlow, tournament manager
fos the P. G. A., wonders how long
the good folk at Augusta are going
to keep on staging the Jones tourna-
ment if Bob doesn't get going him
self. This Is strictly one-man
show" said rotund Robert. cts q
show for one of the great figures Of
the game, a man we all love and ad-
mire, but when the main actor can't
keep up with the parade I wonder
how long it will go on"
The professional tournament show
moved on Richmond today where the
good course Of the Country Club Of
Virginia probably will be out Of the
mud by tomorrow for some intensive
practice by most Of those who played
In the Jones tournament. The affair
to be staged by Bobby Cruickshank
and the Country Club Of Virginia folk
will mark the wind-up Of the Winter
parade for the pros, with q total Of
something like $4,000 in prize dough
having been won. It won't be so much
next year, under the set-up proposed
by Harlow and the P. G. A. tourna-
ment bureau, who want to limit the
number of tournaments and increase
the money in them.
I'VE will be satisfied with IS tourna-
ments next Winter and with about
$50,000," Harlow said. ''It will mean
cutting out many Of the smaller affairs
for $4,000 and $1,000, but it simply
can't be helped. There are entirely
too many tournaments to give suitable
dates to all and the boys spend too
much money jumping around the
country to play in them. A reduc-
ton in the number Of tournaments Is
absolutely necessary"
The Richmond tournament will open
Thursday and will wind up Saturday
with SO holes scheduled. Several of
the local pros are slated to play at
Richmond. Meanwhile AL Houghton's
Cavalier open Is of for this Spring.
Harlow didn't have dates to At In with
the plans Of the Cavalier .-eople.

Just play detective this once and
you will solve the mystery of
how to keep your smoking satis-
faction at its peak far, far into the

For your informat tion,
La Azora's difference is achieved by
use of different tobaccos, different
blending and a finer wrapper. The
tobaccos are costlier-but what's
the difference if it makes more

happen If Frtsch can't play through?
How about their catching with De-

luck. One Of these two teams should
win, with the Giants and Pirates in
pursuit. Anyway, there should be two
hot races and this should be one Of
the best years base ball ever has seen.

 That is the picture of this week. The figures are here. The Literary Digest draws no conclusions from them; let the reader do that for himself. The Digest makes no claim to infallibility. It did not coin the phrase 'uncanny accuracy whcih has been so often applied to its polls.
 Tn a wild year like this, 1t can only warn readers to weight all the factors, wait for the final tabula- tions, and, remember that between now and November 3 many. many things may happen to change the whole trend of popular feeling over night.
 But The Literary Digest can re- mind them, too-and with juStif- able pride--that the 1882 poll dif- fered from the actual major party popular vote of nearly forty millions by only three-fourths of per cent"

 "The same is true of Illinois and Ohio, and to a certain extent of Pennsylvania.

This weeks figures show 3,521 votes from Philadel. phia, with 53 per cent going to Rooseveilt; 4,260 from Pittsburgh, with 55 per cent for the president.
 Here, then, are four states-New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Il. linois-with a combined electoral vote of 138-more than one-fourth of all the electoral votes in the country-and the state electoral vote in each one of them might easily be determined by city votes not yet in evidence in The Literary Digest poll.
