tim of Accident in Burlington
Yards in Moline.

w. c. Matthews of Davenport, a
switchman in the employ of the Bur
lington road, had his right foot crushed
last evening between two cars which
he was coupling in the switch yards
in Moline. The engine was backing a.
string of cars against car standing
in the yards at about Twenty-fifth

the knuckle of the coupling open with
his foot, but slipped on the wet iron
and his foot was caught between the
two bumpers and crushed. He was
taken to the Moline city hospital.
where it was found necessary to am
putate the foot at the ankle. Mr.. Mat.
thews lives in Davenport. where he has
a wife and little child.

precinct and in the second. The
democratic vote throughout the city.
as was to be expected under the cir
cumstances, where there were no con
tests on the general ticket, was very
light.
On the republican side, apart from the
fight on mayor and magistrate. there
were aldermanic contests in three wards,
the Third, Sixth and Seventh. In the
Third l.. L. Hance defeated James c.
Simser. in the Sixth Alderman Martin
McNealy triumphed over Frank J
Beinke and f. W. Lewis, and i'll the
Seventh Charles Borst defeated Viii
liam Moody.
In the Fourth ward the republicans
had no candidate fer alderman till the
last minute, when friends of Jonas
Bear placed his name on the ballot BY
means of stickers. The method n!
procedure has led to some question =
to the legality of the nomination.

Or. Williams, After Performing Third
Ceremony, Finds He Had Good
Reason to Recall Names.

A peculiar incident developed at the
conclusion of the wedding ceremony
uniting Miss Mamie Swartout of Rey-
nolds and Sanford Fetters of Scion,
Iowa, which took place at noon to-
day at the parsonage of the First
Methodist church. DR.. r. B. Williams,
the officiating clergyman, remarked
that the names had a familiar sound
and wondered where he had heard
them Before The fact then developed
that Dr. Williams had previously Off
ciated at two marriage ceremonies in
which two Fetters brothers have been
united with two Swartout sisters, the
ceremony of this morning making the
third couple of the same name whom
he had married
Live ut Same Place.
The other Mr.. and Mrs. Fetters now
reside in Scion, Iowa, ana Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanford Fetters will also MAKE
that city their home. Miss Swartout
is of Reynolds and Mr.. Fetters is Of
Scion, where he owns farm. They
were attended by Miss Mary VickeIs
and Henry Swartout, brother OF tbs
bride.

produced by the direction Of the wind. the state
of the ground or by the partial foozIes- Another
angle 20 this subject IS presented by golfer as
follows:
Il certainly do not agree with the theory that
greater number Of approach shots would be pro-
vided by the plan mentioned than by any other
We are presumably talking about good play IN
average weather. since one would dream Of lay
ing out holes for anything else. and how a hole
laid out avowedly for full drives would provide
specifically for approaches, IS. at least, not sp-
parent to me.
Granted that human error and the adverse ele-
1nents must interfere to extent with the
realization Of strokes Of the fun drive measure.
still the taking OF two three fun drives in sue
oession is by means an unusual achievement,
and where the feat is brought off at a hole laid
out on the full drive principle the approach shot
with an iron club is surely eliminated This, how
ever. cannot occur at a hole of somewhat shorter
length designed for difficult approach after good
driving. since the golfer must always play ap
lroach shot Of some Sort except against
Fernsly strong wind. On the average day. in

'ne good driver does require use an approach

peLed 10 use one at the shorter. How, then can
II Dc Sald me Hutchinson plan provides more ap-
proach shots than the other?
Even II all kinds Of plays good bad ana in

ditlonal length. one would rather think would as

their drivers or brsssies for their approach and
not their approaching clubs. Furthermore. It is
not possible to say definitely what manner Of
club nineteen out OF twenty would take all through
the year at hole laid out the full drive prin-
ciple. Certainly, for the good player, In average
weather. Il seems sufficiently obvious that ne will
require to his approaching clubs oftener at a
hole where he Is always compelled to do than
at one he can occasionally reach IN given num-
her Of drives"
Letting the argument pro and rest for the
time being It may be said without fear OF con-
tradicton that the short hole, which only calls
for half iron shot from the tee, IS interest
ing In fact, the average course would seem
quite complete without Take for example the
eighteenth Mt Englewood. Throughout the recent
national open championship tournament there the
spectators had many opportunities to study this

as to make a well hit tee shot absolute neces-
sity II one hopes to keep the ball anywhere near
the hole.

Unquestlonably the right way 10 play the hole
was Illustrated by George Sargent when the Eng
llshan made victory certain by laying his seventy
second and last tee shot almost dead He did not
hit a low traveller trusting to strike short Of the
terrace and running up. but rather drove high
ball with an IRON at the time imparting suffi-
cfent back spin TO cause the ball to hold. even
though it carried to within a few feet OF the pin.
So dexterously was the shot played that IT was no
trick at all for Sargent to run down the put for ,
AS the grass grows higher and ranker with the
advancing summer, the rough stun skirtng the
average fairway becomes troublesome Con-
seouently good direction is OF greater necessity at
such times than earlier IN the season. or for that
matter late in the fall. opinion differs as to the
merit of long grass as a hazard Without doubt
rough stuff-that is, a certain amount Of tt
answers a purpose but where the grass is per
rnitted to grow nearly waist high the element OF
luck enters too largely.
Many of the professionals who competed in the
open at Myopia year ago have not ceased to talk
of the rough This was allowed TO attain such
degree of thickness as TO resemble a mat, and
when fairly in its clutches man considered him
self fortunate II he got out on his next attempt
The generally accepted theory is that a hazard
should not cost a player more than one stroke 10
get out more especially when the nature OF the
trouble is nothing more than long grass on a
good many metropolitan district links the Ions
grass mania is carried to such extremes that the
average player tees up his ball with fear and
