GOLF HANDICAPPED
HAS DIFFICULT TASK
Mysteries by Which Figures
Are Allotted Not Generally
Understood.

BROOKLYN, Dec. 2O.-Handicapping In
golf as in other sports, Is matter which
nearly everyone processes TO understand,
yet few persons can satisfactorily explain.
The task of the handicap committee is
doubtless the hardest imposed in the game.
The man is yet to be found who is ex-
actly suited with his handicap. And the
shifting of handicaps is like a railroad time
table-"subject to change without notice"
There is one Brooklyn player who de-
clares that his limit shifted seven
times In six days and he has the score
sheet TO show the alterations. although no
calendar is attached.
AS The game progresses in this country
handicapping is becoming more reasonable.
although the tendency is. at the same time,
for golfers TO clamor for lower handicap
than the game warrants. 1t can be said
that in most States about two-thirds of the
handicaps are now within ten strokes of
bogy. which shows that the system of
handicapping has worked well despite its
imperfections.
IL occurs to an observer in the metro
polItan district that some of the clubs re-
wise the handicap lists too often. particu-
larry those Of the women.

Six tournaments were won by players

players with handicap OF 10 or less, and
twenty-five by players at II or under. The
most significant showing OF all is that In

one-quarter of the cases did members of

ONE EASTERN HUNTER
SHOT A WHITE DEER
Superstitious Adirondack Guides
Are Expecting Evil to Befall
Hunter.

BUFFALO, Dec. 20-Adirondack guides
are predicting that dire misfortune will be-
fall Wesley Jordan, of Saranac Lake, be-
cause in the last week of the hunting season
he shot white deer, the second ever
known to have been killed in the Adiron-
dacks. A white deer is so rare a sight in
the Adirondacks that when one does ap-
pear it is regarded with superstitious awe.
Jordan has received letters from all parts
of the country warning him to prepare for
trouble but he takes no stock in the SUPER
Stition, and is having the deer mounted by
a Saranac Lake taxidermist. The belief
that the slayer of one of these animals
would meet with some great misfortune
has been so general, however, that from
time immemorial such white deer as have
been seen from year to year have fitted
from thicket to thicket unmolested by the
arrow OF the Indian or the shot Of the white
man.

second, according to some of the oldest
and best known guides, that is a perfect
albino.
Rodney West, the Essex county woods
man, says that II complete albno deer is

neighborhood, and that Is why an Indian
will not kill white deer.

creature. having neck and tail of pure

and back were nearly white. This deer had
white eyes. though usually the eyes of the
albino are pink.
The hunters decided not to modest this
albino, and when the heavy snow came an
attempt was made 10 capture IL alive. The
dogs got after IL, however, and chased ii
until, exhausted, Ii passed near a traveller
who caught IL and cut its throat. The man
was not aware of the agreement among
the hunters to preserve the doe, and he
deeply regretted his act.

Good Relations Re-Established Be

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Dec. 20.-The Rose
Polytechnic Athletic Association has de-
cided to pay the s25 forfeit demanded by
Wabash for failure to play the scheduled
football game last season. and which Rose
refused to play If Wabash insisted on
playing the negro student, Gordon, on its
team. The Wabash manager said Gordon
would not be played. but the faculty took
up the matter and insisted on recognition
of a principle, though Gordon was not able
to play, which, as matter OF fact, was
the case. The Wabash team did not lose
the date. but played at Culver. and Cor
don, having been injured some days before,
did not play in the game. Rose contended
that Wabash could not, in good faith, ask
for the forfeit. but the faculty again inter-
posed its authority and said all athletic
relations with Rose would be broken of
unless the forfeit was paid. To avoid fur
