The match between Bobby Jones and George Voigt In last year's Championship at St. Andrews has been much discussed. The tram conversation was by no means my "intro" to the idea that Voigt let Jones win when he might have won himself. More than one golf- er has asked me about it.

Now an ordinary match be- tween two Americans, even in our midst, would cause us no steep rise in temperature, but the Voigt- Jones affair was in the semi-final, and hanging upon it for the lat- ter was the "biggest ever" recoril of all four national, titles, British Rnd American, in a single season.
