NEW YORK, June 24.-When a
fellow shoots close-to-par golf and
still winds up 19 strokes back of
the top money, it's time to admit
the other guys may be getting too
hot" for him, but that's not the
reason Bobby Jones is hanging up
his clubs for the duration.
Bobby-it's Capt. Robert Tyre
Jones now-still was slightly she'll
shocked today as he recalled last
weeks Hale America tournament
at Chicago. during which Ben Ho-
gan left him far back, although he
was right up near regulation figures
all the way.
But he pointed out emphatically
that the big idea in trading in his
sticks for that soldier suit and
those double silver shoulder bars
was that he figured he could use
his eyes for something more i'm
portant than lining up puts.
So did Uncle Sans Army. And,
as a result. the round-faced man
with the Peachtree street accent
started out today on an assignment
that will make him the biggest pair
of eyes among the 100000 pairs
that will be spotting enemy planes
for the Army's fighter aircraft
along the Atlantic Seaboard from
Maine to Key West.
Will Train Airplane Spoilers.
Fresh from the Chicago shot
making, ne was ordered to start a
course here in the Aircraft Warn
ing Service. which mans obServa-
ton posts along the entire coast
line.
After completing this course"
explained Brig. Gen John K. Can
non, commanding general OF the
lst Fighter Command, Capt. Jones
will be assigned to organizing and
instructing volunteers in the vital
observation service.
The service comprises more than
100000 civilian volunteers. They
have been described truly as the
eyes of the 1st Fighter Command.
They release for combat duty thou
sands of soldiers-as many as 10000
or 4O.000-who otherwise would have
to man the observation posts.
These observers phone in to
headquarters every plane that
passes. and these are plotted on
huge board. so that our craft learn
from this information just what
to do.
Spoilers Top Patrol Planes.
"Of course. it would be possible to
Use patrol planes instead. but we've
found out that the efficiency of
spoilers is about 16 to l over planes"
A lot of this was news even to
Bobby, who showed up Is pounds
lighter than on his previous triD to
New York-"I've been in training"
he pointed out.
You see" he related. Il had
Reserve officers commission as a
lieutenant, but I let it lapse last
year. I've been playing lot of
exhibition golf to raise war funds.
Guess the other fellows and I have
managed to bring about s150,000
into the till"
About golf-Well, Bobby still was
awe-struck at Hogan's last four
puts on the final four holes of the
Hale America.
Those puts Ben made were four
of the greatest I ever saw" the one
time grand-slam championship win
ner emphasized. One was a Is
footer, another a 20-footer. And all
under pressure, mind you. Best
thing about it was I had a grand
stand seat. was playing with
Ben on that last round. And
brother, I really saw some golf.'
