The great Jones started off like a dub, practically played soccer with his ball and wound up with a suicidal six. The pros in the crowd emitted a crocodile moan of sympathy, and deserted Jones to follow Al Espinosa, who was giving par a drubbing. After all, Bobby was only an amateur. The deserters gave up too soon, for Jones got into stride and proceeded to burn up the course, finished the first nine with a 38. fpHEN the real fireworks began.

Jones reeled off five threes In succession on the incoming nine, and followed this with four fours 31 for the nine and a new course record of 69!

Like Babe Ruth striking out with the bases full Or like Byron Nelson, taking that seven on the sixth hole in the pre liminary round of this year's PGA tournament. Such democratic By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July Who was the greatest golfer of all time Bryon Nelson or Bobby Jones? That little question Is causing more friendly dispute today among golt enthusiasts than any other is sports. Nelson's 1 victory Sunday In the national P. G. A.

championship at Dayton, added est to the argument. It was his ighth straight triumph In recent tournamonts sponsored by the pro fessional Golf association, the most remarkahle winning streak In the game's history. It brought his earnings for the year to 31,500. a new high for six and a half months of play. There's no question that "Lord Byron" Is the areatest flolfer in action today And It's our opinion that he Is playing a better game than Bobby Jones did when the famous At lantan was at his peak.

But, let us emphasize this point: Nelson's apparent superiority now doesn't prove that he could have beaten Jones, had they met when Bobby was at his best. The Nelson Jones argument mighty Interesting, and it's good for golf because it stimulates in torest in, the plll pounding pastime but It's moro difficult to come up with an answer than to decide, foi example, who was the hotter heavy weight Joe Loui3 or Jack Demp soy It is a more difficult question 'because the lapse ot time since Jones was in his heyday Is far Important In golf than it in boxing. Fighting has changed little since the great Dempsey was his peak in sports' "Golden Do cade;" but golt has changed much the style of play, equipment, con dltion ol course's, etc. our opinion, one can make factual comparison between and Jones. play his short Irons better than Bobby However, they coinparo equally In other depart ot the game.

Both topped their contemporaries In wood play from tee and from fairway. Both 5re tho best of their times In medal play; however Walter Hagen Id beat Jones in match play, and It "The Halg" were In hi prime now he'd unquestionably Nelson also. Hagen was the greatest match player oi all time. It Is Important to remember that In Jones' last nine open championships, finished either first or second. That's an amazing record, when one was competing agalr ats as Ha gen, Sarazen, Armour, Barnes, yet, Nelson's record over the past few years Is brilliantly Impressive, too.

He beat everyone worth white In this tourn ment or that; and the average tourney player of today Is a lower scorer than the average of Jones' day, which Is to be expected because of Improvements In golf. Many Jones admirers believe putter. results nearly In two that Nelson is a mediocr However, this Impression from the (act that Byroi always is on the green shots, and trying for a birdie or tagle. Naturally this causes io take more putts than many chaps who approach tho green In Bhots, and then chip up for one putt. Jones was a competitive "kill er." He was cold, calculating and hie.

He had the co ordination, the temperament and the touch that made him a "giant" In his day. If were at his peak today, he too ould have benefited by the chang 3 in the game; and it Is our opln in that ho would be playing just 3 well as Nelson. Who would have triumphed over a season of tournament play? No one ever will know; but the Nelson Jones argument will go on and on with other great names probably added to It In the decades to come as the game tightens and new astir its pede of fa Rescue Ships Aid Merchant Vessel SAN FRAiNCISCO (U.PITho Melbourne radio cays rescue ships from Brisbane and other Queens land ports ore racing to the assistance of a 7,000 ton Allied mer nant ship aground on a reef off tne Queensland coast.

PONI ADAMS MARRIES HOLLYWOOD U.P Screen Starlet PonI Adams was married Saturday night to Lieutenant Tommy Turnnge ot Houston, ihe said their honeymoon vlll be postponed until after the Effects of tho food shortages In Europe Bhow up In amounts available for consumption In the United This world food supply is converted into terras affecting lowans by agricultural economists at Iowa State College, tho July Issue of the Iowa Farm Economist. The coming European harvest seems likely to he tho smallest tor the continent since the war began 6 years ago. Thus, tho Iowa State College agricultural economists point out tho greatest pinch there will come during the next 12 or 14 months.

The pinch will be even greater because transportation no longer Is available to distribute what food Is raised. As a result, European farmers eat fairly well, but city people have to exist on from one half to two thirds of the already subnormal diet The Iowa State College men thus explain that the main pro blem facing the allies In wei Europe Is the feeding of th million people many of them children who live in cities and towns. The economists believe the only immediate possibility for getting additional sources of meat world wide lies in a further cut in cl villan consumption ot meat in the main eating countries. These tho United States, Argentina and Australia. This nation, has three uses to which It must direct its food sup plies.

They are for present military use and to build up reserves for the Pacific war; for domestic oi civilian consumption, and for Eu ropean relief feeding purposes. A cut in the amount of food taken by any one of these would le more food for the others. World supplies of wheat ample, despite the dry weather which lias reduced the harvest In the southern hemisphere. This means tho United States probably will have to step in to take that slack. Principal problem i transportation.

Most of the world wheat is landlocked In the Interior of this country and Canada. The fats and oils situation Is garded by the Iowa State College as getting worse. They that supplies available for relief purposes during the next lepend largely upon the weather. Weather will affect the size ot the 1045 soybean, flaxseed, peanut ttonsoed crops. Another factor next year's supply picture Is size of the fall pig crop But ior all the bleak outlook of the moment, the agricultural omlsts believe that European agri ulture prob d'bly will rec rapidly after this year.

A lack of draft animals and fertilizers 111 hamper lt some. One of the problems will be whether to hold back livestock tor breeding pur poses to build up herds or to slaughter larger proportion for food purposes. In any event, beef and dairy production probably will come back faster In Europe than pork output. Demolition Team Ends Career of U. S.
