CHICAGO, June IA. - The
desire to do his bit for the armed
forces is going to bring back
Robert Tyre Jones for another
competitive golf fling.
The Professional Golf ASso-
citation of America said today
that Bobby, famed for his 1880
sweep of the American and Brit
ish open and amateur golf titles,
would captain and play with a
picked squad in challenge
match August 1928 against the
associations Ryder Cup team.
Proceeds of the event, for
which a site remains to be Sc
lected, will 60 to the United
Service Organizations, which
raise funds for the recreation OF
soldiers and sailors.
Leading tournament golfers
of this country are eager to- do
their part in our present pre-
paredness effort" said the P. G.
A. announcement, "and nothing
seems more important than the
effort of the United Service Or
ganizations to give active eX.
preston to our military person.

Patriotism Lures Jones Back to Golf Play
Will Captain Team Against Ryder Cuppes Aid Armed Forces

mel of the determination OF the
civilian population to stand be-
hind them"
Tom Walsh, president of the
P. G.. A.. said the match resulted
from recent conversations with
Jones. who will select his own
team Conditions of play, he
added, would be the same as in
international competition - So
hole foursomes on the first day
and 36-hole single matches on
the second.
The Ryder Cup squad. which
continues to exist formally but is
inactive because the war prevents
its customary duel with the Brit
ish pros, includes 10 players;
Henry Picard, Byron Nelson, Paul
Runyan. Sam Snead. Horton
Smith, Dick Metz, Jimmy Hines,
Ralph Guldahl. Harold Nc
Spaden and Vic Ghezzi
The team Jones will select is
a matter of speculation. Almost
a certainty, however, is Craig
Wood, who won Jones own Mas
tiers Tournament and followed up
with National Open honors. The
annual masters event is the only
competitive golf Jones, now 80,

indulges in since he chose to re-
tire.
Other candidates for the chal-
lenging team include such favor
ties as Jimmy Demaret. Lawson
Little. Ben Hogan and Gene
Sarazen.
However, it makes little differ
ence to Walter Hagen, honorary
captain of the Ryder Cup team.
In accepting Jones challenge,
Hagen said the Ryder Cup team
was willing at all times to aid in
the national preparedness pro-
gram and then confidently pre-
dicted that "Bobby's team will
go down in defeat as did the
team captained and picked by
Sarazen a year ago.
He referred to the 1910 Red
Cross benefit match.

barrage against four st. Louis

victory and reduce the Red Birds
lead over the National League to
two games.
Held to two hits for the first five
frames, the Dodgers suddenly began
knocking the fences down in the
sixth, driving Harry Gumbert from
the hill and scoring seven runs
before they were retired.
Big Inning Is Ball Game.
That was the ball game and the
five runs they added in the next two
innings purely were for show.
. The sixth-inning outburst reached
its crescendo when Dolf Camllli
pounded his l4th home run of the
year onto the roof with two aboard.
That also proved the last of Gum

across with a double in the seventh

Pee Wee Reese. Brooklyn short

HOT SPRINGS, Va June "A
Two toWheaded youngsters from
the Columbia and Manor Country
Clubs of the National Capital
played a lot of good golf shots here
today to win their way to the semi
final round of the Middle Atlantic
amateur links championship. The
luck of the draw tossed them to-
gether in tomorrow'S play.
Bobby Brownell. Manor Club ace,
and reigning Southern Collegiate
champ, and Earl Skinker. a couple
of youngsters with lot of golf
packed in their slim frames, each
knocked a brace of formidable op-
ponents out of the title picture to-
day Brownen played the better
golf in a day marked by the un-
expected licking handed to District
Champion Ralph Bogart.
YOungster Erases BOgart.
A comparative unknown around
Washington, 17-year-old Pat JAMS

Erie Ball from the Pennington
Country Club of Charlottesville.
Va, Whacked out the District
champ. and 3, in a red-hot open
ing round also marked by an ace
on the l54-yard eighth hole from
the club of J. T. Bowling. Jr., of
Baltimore.
BroWnell was one under par in
the morning in licking Ben Bassett
of Pennington, and was one over
this afternoon to beat Eddie john
ston, the much-touted youngster
from Baltimore Skinker was seven
over in the morning to beat Charley
Price of Indian Spring, and seven
over in the afternoon to whip 19-
year-old Benno Jansen, brother of
Pat.
The other semifinaliSts in a tour
ney sure to produce a finalist from
the Capital, are the methodical de-
Tending champion, Spencer Overton
of the Rolling Road Club of Balti-
more, and Pat Jansen. They meet
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,

five minutes later.
BroWnell reigns tonight the favor
ite to win the tourney. Today he
outscored every other player remain
ing in the tourney. He played %
holes of very tough golf course in
exactly par, which is pretty good
country golf in any company in this
sector over a course where the balls
got no roll Overton wasn't far
behind. with 81 holes in 3 over par.
From where we sit the final looms
as a battle between BrowneIl and
Overton, with a possibility that
Skinker may upset Brownell.
