WOULDN'T TRAVEL
FAR FOR TOURNEY
Maintains Diffident View
Toward TitIe-P|ayS Now
for Companionship.
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Bobby Jones, retired from cham
pionship golf for eight years, may be-
come a competitor again in the ma
tional open golf championship, which
he won four times back in the golden
'20s. But the only man who won in
one year the four major titles in golf
will enter the open only under certain
conditions and under no set OF cir
cumStances can he be considered a
regular entrant in the championship
as he was between 1920 and 1880.
Before he left the Capital today for
New York the 36-year-old Albanian,
idol of the game for two decades, eX-
planned his position as to future COM
petition in championship golf. He will
not enter the amateur championship
under any conditions, and he will play
N the Augusta national tournament,
which carries no title. But he may
play in the open championship pro-
vided the United States Golf Associa-
tion puts into effect ruling permit
ting former champions to play with
out preliminary qualification.
= Makes Stipulations.
"If the championship is held within
easy reaching distance of my home,
and 1 feel like playing in it will
enter" he said. But I do not want
to be considered a regular entrant,
and may never play. I am not In
+,ro.+od u, ooy,potitiop apy moro and
I do not feel like pointing for any
tournament. But if the U. S. G. A.
permits former champions to compete
without qualification. and feel that
I would like to play I will enter That
may come any time or it may never
come. I don't know. But I do not
want to be in the position, If l do
enter, of being considered competitor
every year"
Even though Bob isn't interested in
championships himself, he likes to
keep abreast of all developments in
the game. During his stay here he
kept in touch with the progress of the
British amateur championship and
particularly the play of Charlie Yates
of Atlanta, whom Bob believes is one
of the great players of the land.
Companionship Paramount.
- It must have carried him back to
those hectic days of 1880 to watch
via the Associated Press stories the
play in the British championship g.
900 miles way. But as for himself
nowadays Bob regards golf as game
of friendly companionship. He holds
the game just as he did back in 1880,
when he said to me: Il do not want
any more to play championship golf.
I will not play in exhibitions, unless
I find it pleasant and convenient to
do so. I'll confine my golf to friendly
matches with my friends. The roar
OF the crowd doesn't interest me any
more"
Which probably means that Bob
never again will win the open cham
pionship, even if he enters. You have
to have incentive to win, and, in the
parlance of the prize ring, Bob Jones
isn't hungry fighter"

Threatens to Remove British
Title Mug to London, Ontario

.
TROON, Scotland, May 26-The
British amateur golf trophy may spend
the coming year in London, but the
chances are it will be London, On
tario.
Specifically it may spend year on
the mantle at 315 Huron street. Lon
don, Ontario, for that's where Sandy
Somerville lives. There's a growing
suspicion here that this silent bachelor
is about to give the cup dominion
status.
Only a madman or somebody who
was ordered to write piece for the
afternoon papers would try to pick a
winner out Of this field. But If you
are in either of these categories,
Sandy is about as good a choice as
any.
Stars With His Irons.
With the possible exception Of Mich
igan's Chuck Kocsis, he is hitting the
ball closer to the hole with his irons
than any man in the field. He has
gone back to the aluminium putter
he used to win the United States
amateur in 1882. He's shorter-and
straighter-than ever before. He still
looks as If his life depends on every
shot he hits.
Probably the shyest competitor in
big-time sport. Somerville is over here
alone on a vacation from his insurance
business. He arrived about a month
ago and has been practicing on sea-
side courses ever since. He has his
game down just where he wants It..
In the tournament so far he has
devoted his time to giving exhibitions
to his opponents.
Uses Baseball Grip.
Unlike most of the United States
competitors Sandy got good position
in the draw. Somerville is certain.
however, to get plenty competition
If he reaches the semi-final, for then
he must play the winner Of the second
quarter which contains most of the
big names.
The only technical weakness in Som
erville's game is his grip. He uses
the regular baseball grip, which theo-
retically is an insurmountable handi-
cap but which didn't keep him from
winning the United States amateur
crown and may not prevent him from
winning this one.
This is his third British amateur.
In his first attempt he lost in the
first round, but in 1888 he reached
the sixth round. where George Dun
