NEW GOLF RULES
FOR THIS SEASON

NEW YORK, May 1.-All clubs
holding membership in the United
States Golf Association are being sup
piled with books of the new rules con-
tanning the American interpretations.
In some instances clubs have sent for
a sufficient number of extra copies to
supply all their members, as it is quite
the thing these days for devotees of
the game to make a study of the
rules. Already several well-known
players, through thoughtfulness, have
got into difficulties.
Even on the other side, shortly after
the new St. Andrews rules went into
effect, James Braid early in a match
proceeded to brush the line of his putt,
whereupon his opponent promptly
claimed the hole. That probably will
serve to keep this change fresh in the
open champions memory.
This rule. however, is not so dras-
tic as some seem to think. While
brushing the line of putt is prohibited,
the rule also states that wormcasts,
snow and ice may be scraped aside
with the club, but the club must not
be laid with more than it's own weight
on the ground nor may anything be
pressed down, either with the club or
in any other way. At match play
violation of this rule incurs a loss
penalty is two strokes.
There is now no loophole for those
who have ever sought 10 bar stymies.
For instance, rule states that when
the balls are in play the ball furthest
from the hole shall be played first. -
The special rule / reads: ION the put
ting green, if the competitor whose
ball is the nearer to the hole should
play first, his ball shall be at once re-
placed"
The penalty for a breach Of this rule
is the disqualification of both compe-
titors. AS a further check special rule
2 provides that a competitor shall not
waive any penalty incurred by his OPP
ponent under penalty of disqualified
ton
Other points to be remembered this
season are that a player is allowed a
clear putt to the hole on a~green where
there is casual water; that a shot out
of bounds from the tee may be re-teed
but through the green only dropped
that a practice swing is permissible
more than a clubs length from the
ball and that players looking for lost
ball must signal to others to pass anc
must not wait until they go by anc
are out of range.

JAPANESE CANNOT
BECOME CITIZENS
FORMER STEWARD IN THE NAVY
REFUSED NATURALIZATION BY
COURT.

NORFOLK (Va), May 4.-Federal
Judge Edmond Waddill Jr. of the
United States Court for the Eastern
district of Virginia, in the application
for naturalization Of Namyo Bessho,
Japanese "chief steward in the Unit
ed States Navy, denied the petition,
holding that under the Federal sta
tute no japanese or alien except of
white blood or of African descent or
nativity can become an American CT
tizen, even though he has seen SER
vice in the United States Navy or
marine corps.
Bessho claimed the right of natur-
alization under the act of Congress
of July &C. 1894, giving an alien of
the age of 81 years and upward, who
has served honorably i'm the Navy or
marine corps, the right of citizenship,
after a proper court form.
District Attorney Robert H. Talley,
appearing for the Government, resist
ed this, holding that under section
2169 of the Federal Statutes. as amen
ded in 1875, only free white persons
and aliens of African descent" are
entitled to naturalization. Judge Wad-
dill sustaining this, ruled that the act
of 1894 could not repeal by implica-
ton the statute of 1875 and that there
are no direct terms of appeal. Bes-
sho is preparing an appeal.

PRICE
TAKES JUMP
PREDICTION VERIFIED-FURTHER
RISE MAY BE EXPECTED AS
COAST PRICE is STILL HIGHER.

AS was predicted in The Star some
two weeks ago the price of flour in this
city has advanced. Yesterday T. H.
Davies & Co. raised their price on So
called patent" flour from 1925 to
So. so per barrel Patent fiours are
those from California in which the
wheat used is mixture of California
wheat and the harder wheat from the
Northwest or East, the California
wheat alone having too much starch to
make the best of -four.
Further advances in -four may be eX-
pected from now on, as the price here
is lower than at any point in the East
and is only being held at its present
figure on account of the fact that the
local firms as rule bought very large
ly in advance of the general wheat
rise which was followed by the big
Jump in -four. In almost all the large
cities of the States the price of bread
has been raised or the size of the loaf
| has been decreased to make up Tor the
advance in the cost of materials.

JAPANESE STOP
BETTING ON RACES

TOXIC. Saturday, March PA
tremendous effort has been made by
the racetrack element in Japan TO in
duce the government to retract and
permit betting upon the tracks, but
Marquis Katsura, the premier, has
stood firm and for another year at
least the racetracks of the empire will
be without their favorite palf mutuel
or any other form of betting.
This means in Japan practically an
end to horse racing and necessarily
heavy loss to the stock holders of the
various racetracks.
The development of racing in Japan
was extremely rapid. From a single
course established at Yokohama by
foreigners at least half a dozen tracks
were in swing when the blow fell
and gambling was prohibited. So fla
grant We're the cases of fraud and so
numerous the examples of ruin brought
about by reckless betting that the gov
eminent suddenly put its foot down
upon the whole enterprise.

DILLINGHAM; IN
THE LUCKY BUNCH

The San Francisco Cali of May 3
publishes (what purports to be-
large portrait of Walter Dillingham;,
whom it calls the Honolulu expert,
in connection with a writeup of the
closing games of the San Mateo polo
club in which Dillingham; played on
the winning side. The account of the
game is as follows;
The polo season of 190S-1909 is now
a matter of history. The last game of
the season was played yesterday on
Charles w. Clark's field at Ell Polomar
in San MateO There were only three
players on side instead of four. But
what was lacking in numbers was
more than made up in the quality Of
polo. 1t was as good i'm many respects
as had been seen during the season.
The lineup looked as if the Whites
should have won. However, it turned
TO be different, for the Reds carried
the day, although every point that
they gained was disputed by the
Whites Dillingham; and Hobart work
ed well together, and We're responsible
for the large score. The full six pc
RODS were played.
There were several long runs and
shots The ponies will be turned out
until next fall, when they will be
brought up early for the big season
which is planned.
