ST. ANDREWS GOLF CODE
TO RULE IN UNITED STATES
Executive Committee of U. S. G. A..
Favors Rules in Vogue in the
British Isles.

Members of the executive commit
tee of the United States Golf associa-
ton have ratified the report of the
rules committee as regards the new
rules formulated by the Royal and An
cient Club of st. Andrews and now in
vague In the British Isles.
The important amendment relates
to the rules of not breaking anything
fixed or growing in the act of striking
a ball. The st. Andrews rule reads:
Before striking at a ball In play, player
shall not move. bend. nor break anything
hxed or growing. except so far as is nee
stand In addressing the ball. or in MAX
ing his. backward or forward swing. The
club may only be grounded lightly and
not pressed on the ground
The penalty for breach of this rule
shall be the loss of hole
The Interpretation of this rule addi-
tionally by the United States Golf as
sociation is:
This rule does not prohibit a practice
stroke more than a clubs length from
the ball
Changes in the bylaws affecting the
amateur status have been made more
drastic, as follows:
No person shall be considered an anna
teur golfer or shall be eligible to compete
I'm the amateur championship of this as
sociation or In any event of amateurs
authorized or held by II who accepts or
has accepted directly or indirectly, any
fee, gratuity, money or other considera-
ton for playing or teaching the game of
golf, or who personally makes or repairs
golf clubs, golf balls or other golf ar
ucles for pay, or who after the age OF 16
years has received pay for services as
caddie, caddie-master or greenkeeper, or
who is or has been a professional in any
other branch of athletics: provided, how
ever, that any person who is or at the
time becomes ineligible as an amateur
by reason of this bylaw may be rein
stated upon giving to the executive com
mittee of this association satisfactory evil
dence of meriting such reinstatement
The original rule relating to the
definition of an amateur was void of
cor in any event of amateurs author
lied or held by 1.-THE United States
Golf association. Furthermore, the re-
strictions as to what constitute pay"
are made more emphatic and give less
loOphole for evasion, while a further
restriction is to the effect cor has
been a professional in any other
branch of athletics"

ACTING HEAD OF NATIONAL
LEAGUE A CAPABLE LEADER
Some Facts About John A. HeydIer,
Who viii Take PuIIiam's Place
for a Time.

In selecting John Arnold Heydler,
secretary of the National league, as
acting president. while Harry c. Pull
liam is recuperating, the National
league magnates made Just as happy
a choice as did the American leaguers
when, long ago, they grabbed Byron
Bancroft Johnson off the sporting desk
of Cincinnati newspaper and made
him their pilot.
Heydler is one of the most popular
men connected with baseball and one
Of the most capable. He enjoys the
friendship of all the club owners in
the National league, and. 30 far as
known. there isn't person who has a
grievance against him. What the Ma
tional league solons think of Heydler
is shown by the fact he has been
unanimously elected to the office of
secretary every year since 1908, and
that thrice his salary has been boosted.
John A, though identified with the
National league since 1903, has always
been a stanch admirer of the Ameri-
can league, and it was due to his eff
forts that the Johnsonites got a foot
hold in Washington eight years ago.
Heydler did much good missionary
work for the junior leaguers when
they contemplated invading Washing
ton, and did it without solicitation on
the part of Ban johnson. Heydler
wrote and talked in favor of the move
10 rNtrf A 11o H.
Washington and bitterly opposed the
scheme to have the Capitol city rep
resented in the American association,
which was to be organized by the Ma
tional league magnates as a means
of fighting the Johnsonites.
Thanks to Heydler, the American
leaguers got warm welcome when
they invaded Washington. All that
Heydler received for his espousal of
the American league cause was a
chance to send in 35 official scores to
Ban Johnson.
If Heydler does not continue in Of
flee the next president of the National
league will be Jim Hart, long presi-
dent of the Chicago club. Hart would
make a good executive, and his re-
entry into the game would be well
coined by all hands. Hart and Ban
Johnson always have been frishdly,
and 1t was the former Chicago mag
mates sportsmanlike attitude that en-
abled the American Lacquer to place a
team in the Windy City.
Even In the wartime period of 1901
and 1902 Hart remained on friendly re-
lations with the American league ex-
ecutive, and when Hart was compelled
to sell the Chicago club he gave John
son the first chance to acquire it. Ban
refused to buy the team, though he
easily could have raised the money
necessary to carry out the transaction.

You don't know how your father did

her flowers to wear ON Sunday or to
the party. When Valentine day came
on he sent her pair Of gloves instead
Of the fiimsy, sentimental things that
you see in the shop windows. He
found out when she had a birthday.
A pretty present came with it. There
was nothing connected with the pres

came. But your mother, knew. She
had told him at some time or other of
something she liked. He remembered
1t, and that fact pleased her. Nothing

that something she has said has been

THE 'POSSUM ISSUE.
South Carolina and Georgia are at
Odds Over Taft's Pet.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Not since during the dark days Of
the civil war, when Governor Joe
Brown, Of Georgia, defied not only
South Carolina, but the whole of the
Confederacy, has there been such
strenuous internecine strife in the
South as at present. It all came about
by the Georgia glorification, with the
aid Of Taft, of didelphys virginiana,
vulgarly known as the 'possum. This
marsupial is indigenous to America
and found nowhere else. It seems to
reach its highest state Of develop
ment in Georgia and is elsewhere held
in low esteem.
It is difficult to discover, after read
ing many columns Of arguments, 20
illogical description, studies in COM
parative anatomy and wild objurga
ton by enthusiasts, whether it IS
really the 'possum or Mr.. Taft who
is at the bottom Of the whole trouble.
When Taft settled in Georgia for the
winter, South Carolina consoled itself
with the thought that he could at least
look over into its own territory, and
he was beguiled across the river many
times and finally was landed in Char
lesion to play golf before embarking
on the stormy seas. Save for the pos
sum incident all might have been we'll,
but Georgia was so enthused with
persimmon beer at the Atlanta ban
quet that it has claimed the hegemony
Of the South, and expects to run the
Taft Administration on a 'possum
platform. Hence these South Caro-
lima tears.
The aristocratic South Carolinians
look down upon the "Cracker" pos
sum eaters Of Georgia with a disdain
worthy the descendants of cavaliers.
They recall that Georgia was settled
by jailbirds, who, they aver, have
never advanced in a social degree. On
Saturday night an effort was made in
Charleston to poison the mind Of Taft
against the 'possum and its admirers,
with what results it is impossible at
this moment to state with absolute ac-
euracy; but Georgia is nervous and
is attacking the South Carolina con-
tingent in way that bodies i'll for
Interstate harmony.
1t is we'll that Taft is to be absent
y during this strife. It seems likely
that before he returns the population
of both States will be so reduced that
he will have less difficulty in securing
the proper men for Federal ofices-a
subject concerning which he has made
an open declaration of unmistakable
meaning.

ELECTRIC DANGERS.
The Treatment For Injury Received
From Live Wires.

Most of the injuries resulting from
electric shocks are suffered by line
men, by workers in power houses or
by brakemen on electric railways who
happen to touch the third rail, but
with the multiplication Of trolley lin
es in city and country and with
the extension Of the system of trans
mission of currents of enormous vol
tage over long lines by bare wires
strung on poles the danger to the
general public is constantly increas-
ing.
Most Of the accidents are produc-
ed by alternating currents. This is not
because such currents are more dam
gerous than the direct current, but
because they are usually of higher
voltage. It is not known how high the
voltage must be to cause death. Much
depends upon the mode of contact,
whether the current passes through
only a small part Of body. as when
the two points Of contact are in the
same arm or leg, or whether it pas
ses from one arm to the other or
from the hand to the foot.
A partial degree Of insulation may
also prevent serious consequences, as
when one is standing on perfectly
dry ground or when the contact is
made through the clothes. An Eng
lish writer on medical electricity says
that it has been proved that a man
with dry clothing can sit on a third
rail which carries direct current Of
$50 volts and grasp the outer rail
without receiving any shock what
ever; but the experiment is not rec
commended to the curious.
When one has received severe
electric shock which has not been i'm
mediateiy fatal he presents signs Of
greatly lowered vitality. He Is mn

CAROIJNA'S ELECTORAL VOTE.
Messenger T. Both Butler Wires
the Vice President That He Will
Report.

Inc State.
Washington, Jan. 3O.-South Car
olina s electoral vote promises now to
be in the box Monday. Hon. T. Both
Butler Of Gaffney, special messenger,
telegraphed Vice President Fairbanks
today as follows:
"Will arrive Monday with South
Carolina vote. Was following our
State statute.'
The vice president has not been 60
ing by the State statute. In fact, he
doesn't know what that statute is.
That thousand dollar fine though is
found in the book of federal statutes.

vote in the box, will explain the rule
South Carolina has adopted in this
matter and may be ne will be let off

Stated in last nights dispatches, but
from Oregon. His name is Butler, too
Hon. R. r. Butler. He sat around
in the senate gallery all day watching
things before he mustered up sufi-
cient nerve to take his vote into the
vice PRESIDENT s room in the rear of
the senate. So far he has not paid the

knows that in the aggregate the waste
is incalculable, and I am sure. if CIV
en- an opportunity to have a direct
vote upon the proposition. he would
guard himself and all Of the farmers
of the country against It's contlnu-
ance. Let me illustrate: The farmer
makes his usual trip to the village on
Saturday to provide himself with sup
plies for the following week. Likely
as not he has jotted down memoran-
dunn of the various things he IS to
purchase. It develops on Monday
morning that his good wife had over
looked the fact that she was in need
Of a package Of soda or a pound Of
coffee or few yards Of cloth for the
children. A plow must be stopped IN
the busy season of the year. it may
be at the sowing or harvest time,
when every hour is valuable. and some
one must make the trip to town. else
the bread goes without soda or the
breakfast comes without its usual cup
of coffee. This is not only a serious
inconvenience, but, I repeat, in the
aggregate amounts to a tremendous
drain upon the time Of the farmer,
and it must be remembered that time
is money to the farmer as we'll as TO
every other class.
"Under the system recommended
by the postmaster general, and which
I rost earnestly advocate, this incon-
venience and waste of time will be OBJ
waited. A postcard to his merchant
setting out that a package Of soda or
pound of coffee or a few yards Of
cloth or any other article Of small
weight is needed will have the desired
article forthcoming by rural carrier
the next morning and at cost which
amounts practically to nothlng.'
The general opinion is that the ones
who are desirous Of such parcels
post law are the big department stores
in cities, who, it is said, would be able
to do a large mail order business at
the expense Of the merchants in small
towns.
Mr.. Lever stated that besides the
opposition from the express compan-
les the chief objection came from the
big mail order huoses. This being a
surprise, Mr.. Caulfiad interrupted
and asked if it were not the mail or
der houses who were in reality urging
the parcels post law. To this Mr..
Lever replied:
"Not at all. On the contrary, this
plan looks to giving the merchants of
local towns from within rural routes
emanate the benefit Of reduced rate
over merchants and companies Of 9th
er cities and towns. In other words,
the mail order houses would not be
able to compete with the local mer-
chants upon the basis Of the postage
rates recommended by the postmas-
ter general for a limited rural parcels
post. The wisdom Of discriminating
in favor of the local merchant must be
apparent to any one who regards for
a moment the danger involved in a
system which would inevitably con-
ertalize the commerce Of the country.
Unfortunately there is too much OF
this at present, and every expedient
should be adopted to check its
rrro,rtb -
