WILL CARRY THE GOLF BAIL.
A Compromise in the War Mrs. scharh
Wnged on tho Jersey City Golf Club.


The examination OF the merits OF the COM
plant made by Mrs Pauline Scharf OF 800
Mallory avenue. Jersey City. that the Jersey
City Golf Club persistently violates the ord-
nance prohibiting the playing Of ball In the
street. was held yesterday by Police Justice
Potts In the Second Criminal Court. President
Alfred II. Drayton. Henry W. Dewitt and other
members OF the club were present. Mrs Schnrh
repeated the story Of her grievance against the
golfers. Her house in Mallory avenue had been
bombarded by driven balls. her windows had
been broken and her piano damaged. On the
links there she said the second stroke was
supposed to drive the ball across Mallory
avenue. but in the majority OF cases the ball
either struck against Mrs. Scharffs house or
landed In the street in front Of II.
During the hearing Justice Potts frequently
hurt the feelings OF the golfers by referring to
the game as shinney He has seen the game
played but once. and he says 1t reminded him
Of his boyhoods days when he used to play
shnney.
Mrs. Scharfr produced number OF golf balls
which, she said she had found in her yard.
President Drayton examined one Of the balls.
which was, in particularly dsreputable con-
balls as that. The balls the club used were

Justice Potts said that while he did not know
much about the game. he thought from W hat
he had seen OF 1t that the people passing
being struck He inquired II the course could
not be changed so that Mrs. Scharff's house

duced diagram OF the course and showed
the course at present. He said that new
course has been laid out. but 1t would not be
available for use until October He explained
that something ought to be done to make tho
game less dangerous to people in the neigh
borhood.
President Drayton. after consultation with
his colleagues said to the Court that hereafter

upon which this order was made were pre-
pared by Lamb x Voss OF 81 Nassau street In
