Exhilarating moment when George Von Elm (perhaps Jones’ greatest competitor and friend) beat Bobby Jones to take the 1926 National Amateur Golf Championship (at the time considered to be at least as prestigious as the U.S. Open). He is being carried off on the backs of his admirers. A defeated Bobby Jones stands in the foreground with back to the camera. Original paper caption. International Newsreel stamp on verso.
