SIX DISTRICT LINKSMEN PLAYING IN TITLE EVENT Voigt and MacKenzie, Though, Carry Main Hopes of Capitalites Score Low in Practice Rounds at Baltusrol. BY W. R. BALTUSROL COUNTRY CLUB, Short September 13. Lacing the same field he has conquered for the past tw'O Years, Robert Tyre Jones, of Atlanta set out today in defense of his national amateur golf championship.

His goal is an achievement no other amateur has ever attained. He also, has a triple goal to achieve in the championship, which started with the first halt ot the 36-holc qualifying round. If he wins this title chase he will be the hrst golfer ever to annex the American amateur championship three years in a row and the first ever to hold the American and British open titles at the same time as the amateur. Jones was one of 151 crack amateur golfers who undertook the task of heating the tortuous fairways and hidden intricacies of this difficult course. The entire field plays 18 holes today and goes over the same route tomorrow, with 32 men to qualify for the match play rounds beginning Wednesday morning.

The United States Golf Association, dissatisfied with its experiment at Oakmont last year, has embarked upon a new field this year and has scheduled two 18-hole match play rounds for Wednesday. And match play rounds have not been played for a decade in the amateur title event. JONES IS FAVORED TO WIN THIRD TIME SHORT HILLS. X. J.

September 13 UP). the threat of a dangerous field, Jones is the favorite to win the national amateur golf title again in the tournament starting today on the Baltusrol course and ending next Saturday. He is trying to win the championship for the third consecutive time, something that never has been done. No titleholder ever began a championship event under more favorable auspices. Jones already has won thft British and American open titles this year, and has been playing the greatest golf of his career.

play is the first half of a 36-hole medal play, test which will produce 32 men for match play. Light oen holes will be played again totnor- row. On Wednesday there will bo two I rounds of match play tit 18 holes. After that matches will be played at 36 holes. Seventy-five pairs were assigned to leave the first tee in fiveminute intervals today, beginning at 7:30 a.m.

standard time, and conclud- ing at 2:45 p.m. The time selected for Jones to start was 10:30 a.m. He was paired with D. Clarke Corkran of Philadelphia, holder of the low record for 36-liole qualification in the national amateur tournaament. Cochran made this record Marion two years ago.

Roland R.

Mac- Kenzie and George J. Voigt, representing Columbia and Bannockburn, stand out as the two most likely qualifiers from the Capital City. They both ployed the course in practice yesterdav along with most of the other entrants. Cage Hufty of Congressional, A. L.

Houghton of Manor, Miller B. Stevinson of Columbia and Silas M. Newton of Burning Tree are the other Washingtoft entrants. MacKenzie, Voigt and Stevinson have been here since Thursday practicing. All the Washington entrants have scored well in their practice rounds, but have concentrated on familiarizing themselves with the course rather than the attainment of low scores.

Jones, kingpin of American amateurs for two years, and unofficially ranked as the leading golfer of the world, is a prohibitive favorite. Odds as much as 3 to 1 are being offered on the titleholder with few takers. Jones has beaten the same field without effort two years in a row and, with the Improved game he showed in England and at Columbus, no man Is bold enough to say he cannot win again. He has been scoring low in his practice rounds here. His only possible chance of defeat seems the twin 18-hole medal play rounds, with some one setting a hot pace against him over the abbreviated route.

At 36 holes Jones has been proved practically unbeatable. Certainly no amateur in this field can match shots with him over the double route. I itch this baby THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. 0..
