* * * Mr. " Bobby " Jones at twenty-five
taking his last look at the pin before he shoots, with tousled hair and a look of utter concentration in his bright eyes, is much like Master Bobby Jones at thirteen, when he won the championship of his local club at Atlanta. In Down the Fairway (Allen and Unwin, 15s.), written by himself and Mr. 0. B. Keller, we read a modest, 'frank, brightly written account of his golf life and play, illustrated by some sixty excellent photographs. There are also some excellent chapters on " Putting—a game within a game "—" The Pitch Shot—a mystery "—" Iron Play– - I like it," and " The Heavy Artillery," in which latter the old but true point is emphasized that to think or details instead of hitting the ball is to court absolute ruin. A chapter on " Miscellaneous Strokes " includes an excellent picture of " Bobby " blasting the ball out of a bunker. AU golfers will want the book.
