Bookmaker Fails
To Pay Londoners
Who Bet on Jones
By the Associated Press.
IAJNDON, July 24.-Many mem
bers of the Stock Exchange won
goodly sized wagers on Bobby
Jones when recently he won the
British open golf championship.
None of them collected, however,
for the bookmaker, who had laid
attractive odds, “welshed” before
the Atlanta young man sank his
last putt.
Bobby’s prowess at the ancient
and honorable game was well
known to the brokers on the Ex-
I change, and it is thought not im
probable that the bookmaker was
not absolutely Ignorant of his
ability. Nevertheless, he sent out
neatly printed cards Inviting bets
up to any reasonable amount and
at goodly odds that the American
amateur champion would not take
the open trophy across the seas
with him.
The progress of Bobby through
the tournament was watched by
the brokers with great interest and
his final victory was hailed with
enthusiasm. Then the bettors set
out to lind the bookmaker, licit
they might cash in and celebrate
the occasion in titling form. Ex
Imitative inquiries, however, have
failed thus far to locate the layer
of the odds and all the brokers _
now arc of the opinion that, in
American sporting parlance, they
have been beautifully “stung.”
