“BOBBY” JONES' WONDERFUL FEAT but here

(By "Fair Field").

London, March 31.

BOBBY JONES'S wonderful score of 64 in a

practice round for the Masters' tournament, at Augusta, recalls the history of "Calarnity Jane," the famous putter which contributed so largely to his many amazing victories.

Klick lost his junior light- weight title to Tony Canzoneri in 1934. He was later a contender for the junior welterweight crown held by Barney Boss, but Ross beat him once and held him to a draw on a second occasion.

GOOD GAME.
