Bobby Blinks at Low
Scores of Girl Stars
^- -
By O. B. KEELER
When the cabled word arrived of
the really shocking scores Miss
Glenna Collett and Miss Joyce
Wcthered were shooting at each oth
er over the St. Andrews course in
up and told him how Glenna lmd
the finals of the British ladies
championship. I called Bobby Jones
up and told him how Glenna had
gone out in 34 in the morning nr.d
Miss Wethered In 35 In the after
noon. and how they were turning
in cards of 75 and 76.
Mr. Jones palpably was startled.
"Gosh!" he remarked, "I’d hate
to be playing either of them!"
Which reminded me that once
upon a time Mr. Jones himself had
shot some hot golf on that same
great old course at St. Andrews.
So I looked up the card I had kept
of his first round in the British
open of 1927. the only round in all
his dozen national open competi
tions in which he broke 70. And I
found a good deal of Interest in n
comparison of Bobby's card anti the
cards of the two girls who had
played the greatest match by wo
men in the history of the game,
over the same course.
Bobby's card was 68. (Henna's
best card. in the morning, was 75.
Miss Wethered'i morning card was
77. her afternoon score 76. with a
wretched 8 at the fourteenth. A ■
par 5 there would have given her a
73. which is par at St. Andrews,
where there are only two par 3
holes. Miss Collett's best-ball fer
her two rounds worked out. at 72
and Miss Wethereds at 71. so nei
ther damsel would have beaten
Bobbv on that basis. Neither would
their best-ball on either round. But
a composite best-ball of their two
rounds certauily would have taker.
Mr. Jones' measure and would have
absolutely ruined par of the course.1
as follows:
Par <out> .... 444 454 434—36
The Girls .... 343 444 423—31
Mr. Jones .... 454 433 423—32
Par tin* ..... 434 454 454—37—73
The Girls .... 334 454 454—36—67
Mr Jones .... 434 454 444—36—68
Bobbv lost his strokes to the em
battled damsels tt th" first three,
holes, where he went 3 down From
then on he more than held his own.
His eagle 3 at the 533-yard fifth
hole, where he canned a putt of 120
feet, was not duplicated, naturally.
Ar.d neither girl could pick off a i
birdie at the dangerous Road Hole.
No 17. or at the shorter sixth
Otherwise, at one time or another,
they managed between them to ac
ccmpllsh virtually everything Mr.
Jones was able to do in the round
that spread-eagled the field in the
British open and sent him away to
a final score of 285—the lowest fig
ure ever returned in either a Brit
ish or a United States national open
i championship.
Reports Conflict
As to Status of
Wrestling Bouts
DALLAS. Tex.. June 6.—(JF) —The
status of wrestling at Plamview
seemed uncertain today in the face
of conflicting reports last night
which followed the naif ng of a
match thert.
Royce Roxford. county attorney
at Plamview. announced the gov
ernor's office had advised him to
prevent the bout. Sheriff Nath
Burkett at Plain view said the at
torney general's department had ad
vised the scheduled card was a \io
lation of the law.
Governor Dan Moody at Austin
said wrestling did not come nrder
the law prohibiting pugilistic en
counters. He also said the Main
view case was being handled en
tirely by county authorities.
The governor added ne had been
advised a prize fight had been
scheduled for Plainview last night.

Speaking of golf—
Ralph Guldahl, 19-year-old Dal

from the greatest field ever to com
pete for the Texas amateur golf
crown Wednesday at Dallas. Gul

school championship, made two
fine rounds of 71 and 75 despite
cross winds and a wet course. A
heavy rain about daybreak slowed

The relatively unknown Dallas

stars listing such names as Ossie
Carlton, former title holder; Al

many other notables. Many pre
tournament favorites were forced
to the second and third flights.
These included such well known
names as Bob Scott. San Angelo;
Jack Dold. Houston, state muni

rounds today will reduce the field
to eight contestants.

Another relatively sport un

the Epsom Downs classic racing
event Wednesday. Trigo, scantily
backed 33 to 1, ran off from a
fast field before a gathering of
notables, including the Prince of

some. An Irish merchant, Wil

that nut-stepped the cream of
England's three-year-olds. Ameri
