BRAID ON THE NEW GOLF RULES
Open Champion Doesn't Like some OF
the Provisions.

open IMAM nton Doesn't Like some OF
the Provisions.
LONDON. Aug. 2s.-James Brad. the open
golf champion. in giving his opinion OF the
new rules. said he did not think II was the
place Of professionals to c~riticise the rules
but he was prepared to confess that he did
not regard as a good move the suggested
abolition Of permission to brush across the
line of the putt. Curiously enough. nearly
all writers on golf have viewed with ap.
prevail this proposed alteration; but Braid
htna whom no man has had more exper.
ience in big stroke competitions, pointed out
that It was likely TO work harshly on cen
tain occasions.
Some men," he said, rave big nails in
their boots, and they are apt TO wrench up
tufts Of grass when taking up the position
to putt. II is an easy thing to do, and II is
done very largely unknowingly, OF course.
These tufts will come away IL you brush
lightly with the back ~ the hand. and no.
body suffers. Under the suggested rule,
however, a man who went out late in the
day would be rather badly handicapped.
Moreover. It is difficult to tell whether
a piece OF grass is loose or growing. To
move a piece Of grass that happened to
be fixed would mean, in medal play, q loss

not take the risk of touching the tufts. The
late starter in a medal round Is already
often a big sufferer, owing to the crowds
that have tramped over the greens, and
things may be bad indeed. for him, under
the new rule. As to the alteration OF the
penalty for driving from outside the limits
Of the teeing ground, It is, Of course, very
good. Nobody does such a thing purposely,
80 a. I. 1901 a. -.,ra-z - - IT,, INetaI
for the mistake.
II also like the proposal that in dropping
a ball a man shall drop it over his
shoulder instead of from the head. How
many players do you see drop a ball pro-
perly under the present rule? Not one In
ten. Taken all round, the new rules are,
1 think, a great Improvement on the old
ones. They are much clearer and better
arranged than any code we have had be-
fore.'
Harry Vardon and Taylor were also loud
in their praise of the advance which had
been effected In the direction Of clearness
OF expression, although Vardon made ex-
actly the same point as Braid in regard
to the hardships likely To arise from the
removal of permission to brush across the
line of the putt.
You find a lot Of pieces Of loose grass
about near the end Of a big medal day."
said Vardon, land on keen greens they
may mean missing several puts which
deserve to go down. l think 1t ought to
be allowable to brush them aside.
The proposed increase of the penalty
for driving out of bounds is also a bit
hard. Sometimes out of bounds is the
only serious hazard that a man has to
face In playing a shot, and two strokes
are a lot to pay for what may be a slight
mistake"
The proposed rules will be placed before
the extraordinary general meeting of the
Royal and Ancient club on August 81.

Match play will begin that same after
noon, with a round of eighteen holes, but
for the next four days matches will con-
sist of thlrty-six holes. This provision for
all-day matches in every round save the
first approaches nearer the ideal system, or
rather the system favored and regarded as
the best by a majority of the country's
leading players.
In accordance with usual custom the win
ner will receive a gold medal, the runner-up
a silver medal and the other semi finalists
bronze medals. The contestants making
the lowest thirty-six-hole scores In the test

hot SHOT FROM WILSON
Governor Of Kentucky Refuses to Re-
call Troops from Trigg County.
LETTER TO LOCAL OFFICIALS
Reign Of Lawiessness In Dark Tobacco
District f. Due TO Their Re-
fUsaI 60 De Their
Duty.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Aus. 3-Govsrnor
Wilson today made public the text Of q
scathfng reply to statements by county
officials OF Trigg county. stating that
the presence Of troops was not desired in
that county Trigg county. which Is in
the dark tobacco district, near the
Tennessee line, has been the scene Of
many night rider depredations.
Governor Wilson before proceeding to
reply quotes in full the letter and the
resolutions, which are dated August is
and forwarded from Cadiz. KY. and writ
ten on the letterheads Of the Planters
Protective sssociation-the organisation of
the dark tobacco growers. The signatures
are led off with the names of County
Judge G.. B. Bingham and Sheriff w. c.
Brosdbent Of Trigg ecunty. At a mass
meeting attended by 500 citizens Of rrigg
cnunty those present agreed to the fol-
lowing:
without recitinG the various acts OF
violence and without touching on any
acts of lawlessness on the part OF the
soldiers, we desire to assure your excel
lency that we can do all or more than
soldiers can"
The resolutions state thai the presence
of soldiers is a hindrance to the execution
of Justice by the civil tribunals and de-
clare that their withdrawal would be in
the interests of law and order.
In his reply Governor Wilson says IL
such a pledge had been taken at the out
set Of the depredations eighteen months
ago and carried ont there would now be
no need 81 soldiers In the county.
But" says the governor, during that
eighteen months hundreds Of people have
been iptimidated by a secret oath bound

committed and a long list OF crimes
recorded. And during ali this time, not one
Of you who offer this pledge has caused
the arrest of anybody, although many OF
the crimes were so open and shameless that
many Of you who sign these resolutions not
only knew OF the outrages, but knew where
officers could have laid their hands on the
perpetrators. You have not made a single
affidavit, caused a single arrest, or even
asked for a warrant. The people of your
county we're made to feel that they could
not rely for help upon either yourselves or
the peace officers. And while you did
nothing yourselves, you never asked aid Of
the state government. but showed hostility
to the state governments measures to pro-
tect life ami property"
Troops win stay.
In CONCLUSION the governor takes a parting
shot at the slgners of the resolutions for
engrossing them on the stationery of the
Planters Protective association, a name
which he says recalls the raids on Prince
ton, Hopkinsville and a number of other
places. On the ground that the lives of the
few brave men who have attempted to
prosecute night riders and have asked for
protection would be endangered and their

ders Decision For Mcclellan.
New York, July Justice Lambert
directed the jury to find verdict for
Mayor Mcclellan in the election re-
count suit, upholding Mr.. McClellan's
election in 1905 as mayor of New York
by nearly 5000 plurality over William
r Hearst, the contestant.
Thus is set at rest the claims Of
fraud made ever since the election
by Hearst, his newspapers and his
lawyers. The recount of all the votes
cast in New York city involved the
opening of several thousand ballot
boxes and has been in progress for
weeks.
While Hearst made a net gain OF
about 200 votes in the recount this
was an average gain of only fraction
Of a vote to each ballot box opened
and showed no organized attempt at
fraud.
When this was proved conclusively
Clarence J. Shern, counsel for the
contestant, asserted that the ballot
boxes were stuffed and that Hearst
was defrauded of 6053 votes.
In his address to the jury Justice
Lambert said that no fraud had been
proved in the case, and if he should
permit the disfranchisement OF citl
zens on such slight evidence this coun
try would last but short time.
