HUGE CROWD ON COURSE

SCENES AT ST. ANDREW'S

. JONES-TOLLEY MATCH j United Prcsa Association—By Electric TeleGraph- Copyright. (Received 29th May, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, 28th May. The most amazing scenes ever witnessed on any British golf course occurred at St. Andrews, when a huge crowd, anxious to see the Tolley-Jones match, became ungovernable. The play frequently bordered on the grotesque. The trouble began at the third hole. Hundreds of people flocked from other parts of the course and the luckless competitors on other holes found their, balls trodden into the turf. Jones, at tho fourth hole; hit one of tho 10,000 spectators. Tho match took a chequered course to the turn, first Tolley and then Jones taking the lead. After the turn the crowd was quite unmanageable, and, despite the efforts of a great array of stewards, one player or the other hit a spectator at almost every hole. The match was square fit the - 18th, which the, now 15,000 spectators rested while the stewards got the crowd orderly. The end came dramatically. Tolley hit some spectators near the green, but chipped within a yard of the hole, sotting Jones a half-stymie. Jones failed, with the putt, 'but gave Tolley a dead stymie. Tolley. failed to lift the ball into the hole, and Jones ■ put down a foot putt for tho match.
