"Getting Into "a scrapes"

This popular phrase, involving the
use of an English word, in sense diff,
ferent from its proper meaning, has
considerably puzzled English leXico'
graphers.
one. more ingenious than the 9th
crs. has traced its origin to the game
of golf
In the North of Scotland this game
is played upon downs, or links, on the
scashore. where many rabbits burrow.
The small hole with which these ami
mails begin their burrows Is called in
that part of the country rabbit
scrapes." or simply "scrapes."
1t often happens, in the progress Of
n game of golf, that the ball of some
unfortunate player brings up in one Of
these scrapcs and is with difficulty re-
moved. Special rules had therefore to
be made for the player "in a scrape."
