BILLIE HOLIDAY
AIDS BENEFACTOR
BY FLOYD sNELsoN

NEW YORK = Performers of
the theatrical stage have been
the subject of high praise for
their benevolence in coming to
the rescue of these beset with
sickness, sadness and sorrow In
the hour of need.
Billie Holiday, Americas fore
most song stylist is no excep-
tion. Upon hearing of the seri-
Gus illness of Jerry Preston, a
long time friend and benefactor,
she went Immediately to his as
sistance. The veteran cabaret
and nightclub owner is greatly
improved after a major opera
ton at Memorial Hospital.
Miss Holiday directed her per-
sonal manager, Johnny Levy, to
spare no expense for medical at
tention or disqualification. Al
though Mr.. Preston is said to
be financially self-sufficient, she
Is anxious to do all she can In
his behalf.
Jerry Preston, perhaps the
Oldest living night-life figure In
Harlem, has operated the Log
Cabin on 13Srd st. for many
years. He came into promin-
ence, prior to World War l. as
manager of the old hot spot on
lS5th st. Just east Of Lenox Ave.
known as Connors.
Miss Holiday relates that
Jerry Preston gave her her first
start-when she sang at his Log
Cabin, not SO many years ago,
at a salary Of SIS per week. the
biggest money she had ever
earned. He even went so far
that he risked entanglements
with the law because Of her
youth and tender age; and his
announcement is partially re-
sponsibie for her success TODAY.

Special Dispatch TO The Stur

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 11.-Bob
Jones, the great golfer, still is in
University Hospital here. where
he underwent an operation on
October 30 which proved to be
more serious than anticipated.
His doctors and family are hope
full that within five or six months
he will be able to play occasional
rounds of friendly golf, but 1t Is
extremely doubtful whether he
will ever feel up to participating
in the annual Masters at the
Augusta National which has been,
for the past several years. his one
appearance in tournament play.
Few of his friends were aware
of the fact Jones was in the hos
pital until the obituary Of his old
professional teacher, Stewart
Maiden, was published recently,
disclosing Bob was patient on.

to be of long standing. Here are

Back in 1880, the summer Bob
Jones won his grand slam which
meant the American Open and
Amateur tournaments, as we'll as
the British Open and Amateur,
his neck bothered him some, but
apparently did not affect his
golf, even though he suffered
casual pains. 1t gradually grew
worse, until 10 years ago he de-
veloped a lame shoulder which
was particularly painful. At that
time he was treated for bursitis.
He also had several teeth pulled.
But neither treatment benefited
him. The same was true of

Operation on Spine May End
Jones' Career in Masters

which he continued to suffer and
show no improvement.
Gradually growing worse in
1910, he had to quit the Masters
tournament before the final
round on account OF the pain he
was suffering, but he kept 1t to
himself and few, even of his
friends, knew about 1t. A month
ago his right leg became very
lame, and the doctors decided 1t
must be due to pressure on the
spinal column affecting his nerv-
GUS system. His spine was tapped
and test showed a stoppage be-
tween the fourth ana fifth verte-
brae which indicated a ruptured
disc or cartilage.
Thereupon, it was decided by
DR.. Fincher, Jones physician, to
operate. The trouble was located
in the upper part of his spine.
Although the surgeons expected
a reasonably simple job, Jones
was seven hours on the operating
table, showing how serious the
situation proved to be. It was
found that one of his vertebrae
had been injured several years
ago-which had been causing
the trouble for such a long pc
riod.
The doctors say 1t will be sew
eral months before it will be pos
sible to determine the outcome
and what effect the operation
may have on Bob Jones future
activities. During the past few
days, reports from the hospital
have been exceptionally encour-
aging. He now is able to sit up
briefly. Ultimately, a complete
recovery is hoped for and ex-
pected.

So Neale, a former coach at

Luckman bent his knee when he
