THE CHARMS OF WINTER GOLF-INDOORS AND OUT

To prove that the unexpected do hap

only necessary TO recall what befell Ber-
nard Darwin when playing George Wilkie
at Muirf1eld last May.
Wilkie was in trouble all the way to the
green at the seventeenth hole. and meta
phorically speaking. Darwin had him in
his pocket. At the last gasp. as 1t were,
WiIkie laid his opponent stymie, but 1t
was an easy one, such things go. and
there was plenty Of room for Darwin to
pitch it. Now. here is where the luck
comes in. Darwin played the little stroke
perfectly. his ball jumped neatly over the
obstacle and dropped plumb into the hole,
when. TO the astonshment of the gallery,
Darwin's ball "spouted" up again and fell
upon the turf. thereby necessitating the
taking of the match to the eighteenth
green.
This incident, plus the Bramshot and Ac-
ton STARTERS certainly gives some excuse
for speculation to whether golf is a
game OF skill or of luck. The Bramshot
man did not possess a 100-to-1 chance of
holing either of his niblick shots, yet he
hoIed them both. The odds were even
greater against his ball, lying near the
edge of the green, being carromed practi-
calIy dead by his opponents approach shot
at the fifteenth green, while no one would
have dreamed that his ball would have
been hoIed out for him at the sixteenth

CHAPTER ".

CHAPTER ".
Golfers here and there-that is, those who
have not wended their way to warmer
clines-are trying with Indifferent success
10 keep happy these drear days. There has
been a certain amount Of playing recently
over nearby links. Those who fndulged
declared they had never enjoyed anything
so much in their lives. We will have to
take their word for it, though on second
thought these declarations were overheard
at the nineteenth hole Many sins have
been committed there.
At this restful retreat all things seem
possible, and If one was TO believe every
thing he heard there golf would have to
be stamped as the game in which almost
all players are experts. Wonderful things,
however, do happen on the links, and it is
ar such periods as that which we are now
passing through that the devotees Of the
game find 1t pleasant to glance into the
past. Even then il is difficult matter
to decide where skill ends and luck begins.
From the other side come reports of
series of unexpected incidents which befell
a six-handicap man at Bramshot. They
followed at such narrow intervals as to
seem almost uncanny.
According to the foreign scribe the Bram-
SnOt player WHO HdppeiSO 10 pc d. PISSs-
man, brought off the following series Of
stunts:
AT the thirteenth hole he found the bot
tom of the tin from forty yards range
with a niblick shot out of thick heather;
at the fourteenth he again hoied out with
his niblick; at the fifteenth his ball, when
lying at the edge Of the green. was car
romed so close 10 the pin by his oppo-
nents ball that he was easily enabled to
hole out with his next stroke; at the six
teenth his ball. lying close to the hole, was
again carromed, and this time unwitting-
" sent down by the opponent. Thus by
what can only be described as an unparal-
leled series of fiukes, the pressman did the
four holes, for which the respective b0gies
are 4. 3. 5 and 4, in 3, 2, and Cor five
under.
Another strange occurrence was holing-
in-one feat performed at Acton. The third
hole measures 175 yards, and the player,
taking iron, holed out from the tee, a
performance which he repeated with a
mashie at the fourteenth hole lis yards.
With all due respect TO the skill of the
players concerned, we have no hesitation in
describing these strange happenings al

is we'll guarded by a bunker.
Though a trife less than 200 yards, the
fourth is a hard hole for its length, be-
cause the green is close to "out of bounds
land. According to Willie and Tom Ander-
son. the professionals who play over the
course daily, the only way to hold this
green on the drive is to get the ball away
with a slice or a pull. A carry Of 40 yards
over Fort Marion is necessary from the
fifth tee, while a topped ball will get one
into the moat. A long pull is safe. but
correspondingly lengthy slice is liable TO
bring up in either the fort or the bay The
hole is only 2S5 yards long.
Good direction helps considerably going

of work. It requires hard work; but what
occupation does not require hard work to
reach success?
After you have thought over IL for
while and learned few things about IT,
you might do worse than start your boy
in this trade. How to go about it, and the
requirements?
Well there are few preliminary require
ments to speak of, further than that the
applicant should be a reasonably healthy
boy of about sixteen or more. and have
had some rudimentary schooling. Go TO a
boss carpenter at work somewhere and ask
him for a job. If you are successful. as
you will be after seeing few bosses, your
boy will be put to work as helper at some
where around s. week. This work Will
not be carpentering. The boy knows moth
ing about IL yet, you know, except that
he can probably tell a hammer from
square, and he has to learn before he can
become one.
And go for the first year. he will be moth
ing more than the crudest kind OF assist
ant to one of the carpenters-carrying
boards and running errands, and after a
while probably saving off the ends OF
rough lumber and mailing on joists and
scantling. The work will be generally the
same If the boy goes into a factory and
does what is generally known inside
work. and In the latter he will be advanced

ing. driven nails with numbed fingers and
handling frozen, rough boards, and you
heard that he was getting only about 81
a day and was a carpenters helper, there
was every evidence 10 you that there was
little more to carpentry than driving nails
and putting boards together, eh, what?
For you know that the plans of the build
ing were prepared by an architect, and
therefore supposed that all the carpenter
had to do was 10 follow them, which "any-
body could do that knew enough 10 handle
a hammer and a saw" AS for brain work

STOPPED mot FOUND" SCANDAL

One of the unprecedented actions taken by
the Judges at a directors - meeting was
TO adopt a general order for a warrant
record. Under the old system a warrant
sent to the Police Department for service
might come back marked Not found -
There was nothing TO show that any effort
had been made to serve IL, or who had
made the effort. The judges investigated
and learned that policemen were under in
structions to serve no warrant without the
60 K" of some commanding officer.
II the defendant happened to be pro-
tected gambler the warrant lay IN the po-
lice station for a time. and was then re-
turned to the Judge marked Not found;
other classes, perhaps with political
pulls" were treated similarly.
To remedy this miscarriage Of justice the
Judges established warrant record" and
by general order" made II public record.
which IL is penal offence to falsify or de-
face. This places the responsibility OF
service or failure of service on the indivtd-
ual policeman. When the warrant comes
back 10 the court IL must show that it has
been in the hands Of a policeman, 1t must
show what he did and must bear in addt-
