HISTORY REPEATED
IN CANNON CASES
AT GEORGETOWN
Second Cannon With
draws From University
at Fathers Order.

Claire II. Cannon, a student in the
freshman class Of Georgetown Uni
versity, has withdrawn from the col
lege at the direction OF his father. HIS
friends claim that young Cannon was
refused permission by the authorities
OF the university to go TO his home
in Texas 70 attend the wedding OF his
sister. This IS denied by Father Buel.
president OF the college.

was practically dismissed for leaving
the institution to be present at his Sis
ters wedding after permission of the
school authorities had been refused
After he had left. temporarily, with
out such permission, Gannons effects
were packed up and shipped TO his
home in New York with a request that
he would not return. The case resulted
in q lawsuit
Claire Cannon is from Texas and is
a member Of the freshman class He
has a brother. Ward Cannon. in the
junior class. Claire Cannon has made
quite a record In athletics at the uni

rected him 20 withdraw This, Il is
said, was done.
Father Buel's Explanation.
Father Buel. president of the uni
versity, said this morning that young
Cannon had not asked permission 70
attend his sisters wedding and that
he was not aware that the young man
even had a sister. Father Buel said
that he had been IN communi cation with
young Gaist0n's father who had ex-
pressed the intention OF sending both
TIE boys 10 another institution. Father
Buel said the matter had not yet been
settled and that no excuse was given
by the elder Cannon for making the
change except that he wished TO do so.

were removed from a spaoe sufficiently
large to make the walk and leave room at
each side for the privet hedge and the line
of hemlocks back OF it.
This made it necessary TO plant only one
line Of trees baok Of the hedge, as the original
forest still stoOd to make a deep back
ground Of foliage. The road may be sodded
or, II the owner Is willing TO wait long
enough, planted in grass. The grass walk
is sunk several steps below the level OF
the lawn. The two Italian marble seats in
the foreground are details repeated further
along In the walk. This extends equally
far on both sides Of the house. Like the
other views shown here, the landscape work
was carried out by Wadley a Smythe.
Grass walks need not always DO 30 broad
or form such an important feature In the out
of door decorative scheme as they do in this
plan. The formal garden Of the house Of
Mrs. Richard Gambrill at Newport, whioh
is shown In the picture as one views IL from
the terrace, is supplied with grass walks

edged with a border Of turf raised about the
edges. This garden, which suggested the
terrace Of Hampton Court in its general
view, is sunk nearly -four feet below the
level Of the terrace in the foreground. 1t
Is French in the rather studied simplicity Of
its decorations and more especially in the
detail Of the four statues which stand at the
corners Of the terrace. The fountain, with
its arran cement Of the marble benches, is
more clearly the result Of Italian influence.
One Of the particular achievements OF
the landscape gardener in dealing with this
problem might escape the attention OF one
who new this garden only from the picture.
The background Of the picture is a cedar
hedge, which naturally faces any person

the rear OF the pergola mask the street which
is only a few feet away j. Russell Pore,
VINO designed his house, had the problem
Of creating the appearance Of rus in Urbe
that confronts every architect who con-
structs a Newport house. Pergolas are
perhaps the most distinctive feature Of the
Italian garden, although the French archi-
tects early began TO build them in their
own country. In Roman days a pergola
was always some part of a dwelling house
intended for a subsidiary purpose, and as
these small additions were frequently used
for shops pergola came TO be the word
that means shop always.
A pergola in a garden, Italian or Other-
wise, need no longer be attached to a house,
but stands on an independent structure.
1t is always, however, al arbor and is
usually Of wood. In the present case, how
ever, the base Of the pergola ia Of white
stone and the covering Of painted wood.
The lattice at the rear, in order to mask
still more completely the nearby street, is
covered with vines, which also trail from
the roof. On either end Of the stone cor
nice are large vases, intended to hold
plants, but not used now for that purpose.
A low box hedge follows the outlines Of the
walk that leads about the garden and to the
pergola. o.

only those shown at the back to other flow
ers. The grass walks, it will be seen, are not
used here, where composition as white as
the marble cupid and the marble benches
contrast with the foliage. These two gar
dens were planned to ave as little shrub
berry Of more than a certain height as posi-
bic, as the house is surrounded at a short
distance away with trees. 1t was the plan
Of the designers to have near the house
only the two trees shown in this picture.
In the roses as we'll as the other flowers that
hll the beds the colors are pale. The roses
are pink, yellow. white n cream and the
pinks and MOSES OF the background beds
are never accumulated to a shade that will
mar the general daintiness Of the color
scheme. In that respect too the gardens
are to be kept French.
Another popularity Of these gardens is In
the fact that they are not sunken. although
the style is so popular nowadays, but are on
the level OF the lawn.
The two statues fianking the pergola OF
Mrs. b. B. Jacobs's house at Newport look
like rather grim sontinels against the dark
trees. This suggestion OF mystery is per-
haps one Of the touches that proclaim
the Italian origin Of this garden. The
oak trees in the background rise to a height
OF fifty feet, and with the dark oedars in

watohword of the committee in rcmodelling
the Garden City course, as it was with
the changes at st. Andrews, in Scotland,
for the open championship last year. There
the slogan was thinking GOLF and ac-
cording to Willie Anderson part OF the
scheme was to spoil the course by pot
bunkers on the fair green to catch a drive
OF 200 or 200 yards.
The longest drivers here are already
registering the same complaints against
the bunkers on the first and twelfth holes
at Garden City. At Myopia, the first course
in the United States to be remodelled on
testing lines, there is no rebuke to strength
on the tee or through the green. At Gar
den City the excessively long players must
hold back on more than one toe.
This, in the opinion OF the great drivers,
il a defect Of the course that the alterations
AVE increased and not lessened for cham
pionship golf. As regularly played now
the course is of 6,4SS yards, hut the distances
may be materially heightened out by NOV

American bunkers are usually filled with

NEW HAZARDS FOR GOLFERS.
.BUNKERJ AT NOTED LINKS
ABROAD COPIED here.

Garden City Club steals q March on the
Promoters OF the Ideal Grounds
PIanked walls, and Sea sand Traps
"ThinkIng Golf" Aim Of Links Makers.
In the transformed Garden City links a
march has been stolen on the projectors OF
the national course, which was to have been
- reproduction OF the best golf holes in the
British Isles. The ideal course is still in
the realms OF the imagination alone, but
the changed links at Garden City is open
and ready for the members.
Those who believed that the Garden City
course was the best in the United States
will be shocked when they see the u~pheavals
that lave taken place. In playing the
round, whether they find more to praise
than to blame, they will at least have a
thrilling experience, a. much like shooting
the chutes or swinging in the captured
airships as any sensation to be had in placid
golf.
Throughout the course the middle piece
Of all the cop bunkers that formerly crossed
the line Of play has been RACED. This Is
q blow at the principle on which all the
golf links were formerly laid out.
The principle was Of a bunker to be car
ned on the drive and Of another u hazard
to be carried on the second shot. The idea
has it's merits. but It has been repeated in
monotonous reiteration.
The Garden City folks have cut the Cor
dian knot by doing away with all such
carries. The player who lacks distance Is
punished enough. according to the new
theories, and Il 10 wrong 80 to penalize a
short drive that he VINO makes II will lose
all interest in the hole after the first shot.
On the other hand, distance regardless OF
good direction is not TO be encouraged.
Your courses are too wide,' said the
Oxford and Cambridge players when they
visited America. sOne may get TO the
green a. easily when Oh the course a. when
on IT," .
This objection may no longer be urged
against the Garden City links. The end
