lATURDAY A F T er noo Ni SEPTEMBER 8. 1923 BOBBY MAY EXPECT U* LAO TO WIN AMATEUR AND OPEN GOLF TITLES Will Have Chance to Turn Trick ' in Tournament at Flossmoor This Month PLAYING MASTERLY GAME Has Demonstrated This During Play and Consistency on Links at Inwood i By ROY GROVE NEA Service Writer CHICAGO, Sept. B.—Can Bobby Jones accomplish the supreme in golfdom by winning both the na tional open and the amateur titles in the same year? When he goes into the national amateur tournament, at Flossmoor this month, he will have the oppor tunity to turn a trick which has been done by only one other golfer in the history of the game. “Chick” Evans was the wizard of the magic mashie in 1916. He not only won the amateur and national titles in the same golfing season but also carried the glow of the western amateur crown through each match. To date no other golfer has been able to duplicate the feat of the Chicago veterans. The nearest ap proach was the winning of the pro fessional title by an amateur, Fran- FREE TICKETS TO RYLANDER Each day The Times-Recorder place* somewhere in the Classified Col umns the names of five persons who upon calling at the Times-Recorder office will each receive Two Free Tickets To The Rylander Theatre To See , “ONLY 38” A Paramount Picture with May McAvoy, Lois Wilson, Elliott Dexter and George Fawcett.

Ouimet also won the amateur event in 1914 and finished second to Evans in 19p0. Jones has been playing a master ly game during the past season. He demonstrated this at Inwood, not alone through his play in the quali fying rounds but in his consistency in the finals an<F his real test in the play-off with the steady Scot, Cruickshank. Since the Inwood affair he has played par golf through the South and always he has shown is cham pionship confidence—the stuff that will make him the favorite out at Flossmoor. Evans is still playing to his old time tune. He registered again this year in capturing the western amateur tHle for the eighth suc cessive time when he eliminated the present national amateur champ, Jess Sweetser, over the tough May field course at Cleveland. Evans twice has held the ama teur title, once in 1916 and again in 1920. He was runner up to the crown in 1912 and again in 1922. Jones has yet to win in the amateur event. He always has been the near beer in past tournament play. His closest call was in 1919 when he finished second to Davidson Her ron. Last year in the amateur event at Brookline he went through the semi-finals only to lose to Jess Sweetser, the ultimate win ner, by 8 to 7. This year seems to be Bobby’s turn. And he’ll smack the white strawberries for a tinkle in the sil very urn if he lives up to past per formances. TREAD SAME PATH AS CHICK IN TO HOW THEY 'SLsiAJW). SALLY LEAGUE Yesterday’* Results.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ' MM In a friendly match game be tween two players, an argument arises after having played nine holes, as to the length of the match. A has won seven of the first nine holes. B claims the match is of 36 holes, while A says that 18 is always considered the proper num ber* unless otherwise stipulated. A has such a commanding lead in the first nine holes that B is naturally desirous of having the match a 36- hole affair. Unless some stiplation is made prior to the start of the match, the playing of a full round, which con sists of 18 holes, is the customary length of a golf match. On that line of reasoning, A would be right in his contention that the match was to be 18 holes. Two players in a club tourna ment have a dispute over a certain point of play. A claims that B has erred in his play, and makes such a claim before going to the tee of the next hole. Since it is impossi ble for the players to definitely set tle the matter, how is A’s claim to get proper recognition? A having called the attention of his opponent B to what he believes was a mistake has done the proper thing. On the completion of the round A should immediately place his claim before the "committee in charge of the competition and get a ruling, since the result of that hole may have a decided bearing on the match. Is it possible to concede a putt in medal play? It is directly contrary to the rules to concede a putt in medal play. In a medal round, the ball must be holed out on every green. In match play, short putts are of ten conceded. Players are not sup posed to do it, but there is no fixed penalty for so doing. In medal play, for a score to be correct, each and every putt muts be sunk. Smith is playing Jones a handi cap match. t Smith is the better player. Prior to the start of the match as they reach the first tee, Smith asks Jones how many strokes he must give him. Jones replies that he is entitled to a five stroke handicap. The match was played with Smith giving a handicap of five and halVeji. After Smith has left the clubhouse, Jones dis covers that he should - have had a Jix-stroke handicap which would have won the match for him. Jones 'then enters a protest to the com mittee in charge. Should Jones .be credited with the match or should it be replayed? The original error was made by Jones when he informed Smith that he must give him a 5-stroke handi cap. The entire match was played with the belief that five strokes was the proper handicap. It has been precedent that such matches must stand as played and in this case Jones sould abide by his own mistake. ewsMß? EJzDillyßens THE PLAY— Is it possible to have a runner cross the plate after the side has been retired? The bases are filled, there are two men out and two strikes and three ‘balls on the batter. On the next pitch all the runners are in motion, so that they can advance the most possible bases should the batsman hit safely. The pitch is high and wide. The batter does not offer at it and the umpire rules ball four. The run ner advancing from third to home stops up when he hears the um pire shout “ball four,” and starts to walk to the plate. The runner on second, in ad vancing to third, overran the bag five or six feet. A snap throw from the catcher retired him before he could get back, making the third out, ending ihe inning. The i'unr.er ••iming home from third was still about ten feet from the plate v hen the third • ut was made. Does the run score? THE INTERPRETATION— With the bases filled and the batsman receiving a base on balls the runner-on third under the rules is entitled to score. While the runner going to third placed himself in jeopardy when he overran the bag, the same throw from the catcher retiring him for the third out. Ihe fact that third out was made before the runner coming home from third actually touched the plate is of no moment. The basp on balls, with the bases filled, entitled him to score and that right is not removed because of careless base running on the part of anoth er player that retired the side be fore he reached home. SAVANNAH PASTOR VISITS FAMOUS ANCIENT PRISON SAVANNAH, Sept. B.—Mem bers of the Calvary Baptist church here are in receipt of a letter from their pastor, Rev. John S.
