ON THE GOLF LINKS.
Wig High Scores Are Made DIR
inc Late Fall and Winter.

Why is it that so few low scores arc made in
this vicinity during the late fall and winter?
asked a golfer recently. Although such we'll
known exponents Of the game as Eben NJ. Byers.
Jerome d Travers, Walter j. Travis and Archie
Graham admit that they find it impossible TO
maintain their best form at this season of the
year. few good reasons have been given for the
falling off.
One of the best theories the subject has
been advanced by George Low. the Baltusrol
Golf Club professional. According to Low. bad
lies are frequent IN the late fall and win
ter This is because the frost has taken the
gimp out of the grass which lies fiat Conse-
quently the ball is rarely teed up. making bras
sey shots difficult. In fact. Low depends on his
cleek in preference to the brassey these days.
Stewart Gardner and Isaac Mackie agree that
low scoring is more difficult now, largely because
of the tricky greens. They claim that several
strokes round are lost in putting alone.
Another man asks, How can anybody play
when the sun hangs low in the sky and dazzles
his eyes? You walk along with your eyes
shielded. but and then look up, only to be
blinded by the sun. After this is repeated
number of times you try 10 make shot, and
of course you fail to hit the ball cleany. An
grass is yellow. Let the golden sunlight fall on
the yellow grass and what sort of a background
have YOU for your white ball?"
In direct contrast TO this string OF excuses
is the statement OF a well known amateur to
the effect that he does his best scoring in the
winter. He claims that the extra distance
gained due to the long runs Of the ball over
the frozen ground is a distinct advantage. He
says he reaches green's in two during the win
ter that require two full shots and an approach
in other seasons. According to this golfer the
colder the weather the harder ne hits and the
further goes the ball.

TO CIRCUIT COURT
Case Of Or. Maxwell viii BE Taken
and Sentence Is Suspended.

Cleveland, o., April Pa sentence
of three years was given Or. d. P.
Maxwell by Judge Beasom, who refus-
ed a motion for new trial. Execution
of the sentence was suspended for
thirty days in order that the case may
be carried to the circuit court.
Judge Beacon told Maxwell investi-
cation shows him to be q kindly man
and a physician who has done great
deal of professional work without fees
Sentence was put at three years be-
cause Maxwell's health is poor and be-
cause the man was sentenced to four
years in the penitentiary for his first
offense The sentence specifies that
there shall be no solitary confinement.
One of the principal claims used as
basis for new trial was that tes-
timony of Detective Ruddock was pre-
judicial. Ruddock said Maxwell con-
fessed on the way back from Salt
Lake City that the Ritter case was one
similar to that for which he (MaxwelD
was sent to the penitentiary before.
