AN IMPORTANT GOLF RULING.

by the rules OF the golf committee of England
which cannot fail to exert important influence
on the game here. II IS the effect that IN 4
stroke competition a player may leave the course
and enter the clubhouse for any purpose whatever
but If by doing he loses his place on the green
and the next couple pass him he is disqualified
Now. this decision amounts TO practically a new
rule Nothing bearing the question Is TO be
found in the special rules for stroke compet itions
Ana II the player who enters the clubhouse is dis
Quailhed through losing his place the green Is
his innocent partner who. i'm all probability Is also
competitor To share the same fate? II Is difficult
to see how he can avoid disqualified ton as he can
not continue the round alone. The difficulty nova
days seems to he that there many rules
for the games own good, II will he interesting
to note how the United States Golf Association
committee VIII deal with this new provision.

vARDoN's STANDING ON ENGLISH LINKS

Since Braid won the English open championship
in which the great Vardon a competitor m,
statement is being made that Vardon is not the
man he was. In view of Vardon's splendid per-
formances at Muirfeld Barnton and Mortorhail
it difficult TO see what grounds there for this
assertion Vardon's nguaes at Nurheld were better
than those with which he won the championship of
1896: Barnton he was only stroke above his
former record. and without having previously seen
Mortonhall he broke Taits record by four strokes
while Braid Hurd and Taylor finished some half
dozen behind. In comparing the figures of this
last championship with that of 1896 the Individual
rounds would appear 20 indicate that golf Ave wears
ago was better than II Is while the best agprr-
gate scores show entirely different result
There ten scores of s2S and less in 1896 and
only five on this occasion. Five years ago Var1on
was first after tieing with ]. f. Tayior at sls
Rraid's score for the four rounds in this contes;

most effective way to curb the rum
traffic is to prevail upon the people
to quit consuming rum, not to drive
the rum power out of existence
