JONES DEFEATS TOLLEY
HUGE CROWD ENCROACHES ON COURSE
(Received 29th May, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, 28th May.
The most amazing scenes witnessed on any British golf course occurred at St. Andrew's, when a huge crowd, anxious to see tho Tolley-Jones match became ungovernable. Play frequently bordered on the grotesque. Trouble began at the third hole. Hundreds flocked from other parts of the course and luckless competitors at the other holes found their balls trodden into the turf. Jones, at the fourth hole, hit one of the 10,000 spectators. The match took a chequered course to the turn, first Tolley then Jones taking the lead. Thereafter the crowd became quite unmanageable despite the efforts of a great array of stewards. One player or another hit a spectator at almost every hole. The match was square at the eighteenth where there were now 15,000 onlookers. The players rested while the stewards got the crowd orderly. The end came dramatically. Tolley hit the spectators near the green, but chipped to within a yard of the hole, setting Jones a half stymie. Jones failed with his putt but gave Tolley a dead stymie. Tolley failed to lift his ball into the- hole and Jones holed a foot putt for tlie match.
