INTERPRETATION Of
OUT
GOLF
New RuIes Are sent 10 All Member
ship Clubs.

NEW YORK. April l7.-All clubs holding
membership in the United states Golf
association are being supplied with books
Of the new rules containing the American
interpretations. In some instances CLUBS
have sent for a sufficient number of extra
copies to supply all their members, as 1t
is quite the thing these days for. devotees
Of the game to make a study Of the rules.
Already several we'll known players through
thoughtlessness have got into difficulties.
Even on the other side, shortly after the
new ST. Andrews rules went into effect.
James Braid early In q 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 MEM
DRY.
This rule, however, lie not so drastic as
some seem to think. While brushing the
line of putt is prohibited. the rule also
states that dung, worncasts. snow and ice
may be scraped aside with the club, but
the club must not be laid with more than
its weight on the ground. nor may
anything be pressed down either with the
club or in any other way. At match play
a violation OF this rule incurs loss Of the
hole, while at medal play the penalty is
two strokes.
There is now no loophole for those who
have ever sought to bar stymies. For in
stance, rule 7 states that when the balls
are In play the ball further from the hole
shall be played first" The special rule
% reads: "On the putting green II the
competitor whose ball is the nearer to the
hole play first, his ball shall be at once
replaced"
The penalty for a breach of this rule is
the disqualification of both competitors.
As a further check. special rule 2 provides
that a competitor shall not waive any
penalty incurred by his opponent under
penalty of disqualification.
Other points to be remembered this sea
son are that a player is allowed a clear
putt to the hole on a green wher there
Is casual water; that a shot out of bounds
from the tee may be reteed, 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 a lost ball must signal to
others to pass and must walt until they gu
by and are out Of range.

CORNELL ROWING SQUAD SMALL

Crews on the Water,

have left the Cornell crew squad that
Coach Cortney finds he will not have to
make the expected cut at this time of the
year. He has now seven crews on the
water, three of the varsity. while the
freshmen fill up the rest. and is able to
have all of them out. There has been no
change in the combinations for three weeks.
but they have been unable to practise on
the lake so far, it being too rough. The
contractors who are improving the inlet
are not overcareful with their refuse. and
the water is full OF short planks and logs.
which rather interfere with the work of
the crews. All the men or the training
table will have practice twice a day.
