In truth, he would be the world's greatest martyr if, at the age of thirty, with his golfing ability un equalled in the present generation, he could subject himself perman- ently to the seclusion of private rounds.

i hope, as I believe, that he will return to competition. Nobody has ever impressed me as he did when we were drawn together-purpose- ly, as some of the officials blandly explained afterwards, so as to let me see what manner of youthful prodigy they had produced in the American championship of 1920, He was almost unknown then, but he led me for some time.

What with a rainstorm in the last round, a rapacious brook, and Bobby's urgent rivalry, I missed a wonderful chance of winning that championship and could only tie for second place to my old friend, Edward Ray.

Extraordinary Nerve Control. But amidst all that I have seen of Jones, I remember most vividly my partnership with him on that occasion, when he was served up as a aurprise for me--and, in all con- science, played the part. The way in which he hit the ball for the first five or six holes startled and mesmerised me..

Those of us who came into con- tact with Jones last year felt that he had it in his mind to finish if he could attain his ambition of winning the four championships of Britain and America in the one season.

"I really think that he felt the strain of defending a reputation more acutely than any other golfer has ever done. His tenalon just before a big event was almost painful. For that reason the first hole afforded a chance of gaining a lead from him, and a fair number of opponents did It, including T, 'P. Perkins, when they met in the final of the United States amateur cham- pionship, although the match had gone only a little farther when Jones began his customary process of relentless annihilation.
