INTERESTING GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

The executive committee of the United
States Golf Association has just issued It's
first official list showing the ranking Oh
the different players under it's jurisdic-
ton. AS a whole. this list has not taken
well among golf followers, but this Is
probably largely the fault of the golfers
themselves, as many of them either turn
ed in incomplete data or none at all. and
consequently the committee had INSULT
cient information on which to base its
reckoninss. This accounts for the absence
on the list Of the names of several local
men who are considered much better
players than several of those named
Because Of the large membership in the
association 1t was impracticable for the
committee to fix a handicap for players
deserving rating of greater than six
strokes as il is assumed that clubs may
easily rate the men deserving larger han
dicaps than six by comparison with the
men whose names are on the official list.
Ten Washingtonians are honored by be-
ing given an official rating, and their
names, with the number of strokes handi-
cap allowed them. are given below:
Five strokes-L l.. Harlan, Columbia
Country Club: e. p Brooke, Bannock
burn Golf Club.
Six strokes-Samuel Daizer Chevy
Chase Club; John c. Davidson. Chevy
Chase Club. T.. b. Eynon. jr., Columbia
Country Club: W. S. Harlan Columbia
Country Club: F. Oden Horstmann, Chevy
Chase Club; G.. c. Laferty. Chevy Chase
Club: A. S. Matt,ngiy. Columbia Country
Club; o. McCammon, Cheyy>Chase Club.
A player whose name does not appear
on this list and who desires a handicap
may receive the same by submitting to
the secretary of the association three
scores. verified by a marker and certified
to by the secretary of his club, of three
rounds of is holes each played on different
days over the regular course of a club
which is member of the Golf Associa-
ton. The same procedure is to be follow
ed by those already listed. but who desire
to have their rating changed.
In connection with this list the commit
tee has recommended that in match play
singles. three-fourths ca of the differ
ence between the handicaps be allowed,
and that in match play, foursomes,

would have been allowed. The only
penalty attached to that act by the
coacher was to be ordered to the bench
of the field. and the umpire at the
plate had the right to enforce that
penalty. In some cases where q
coacher interferes with a play to the
plate the runner Is declared out.

No. After a balh the ball is not in play
until the runner or runners have ad-

did could not count.
Sporting Editor Star:
In the first half of the ninth inning
batter hit safely to center and while
he was running from second to third
the coacher at third base ran out from
his box on to the field. The shortstop
threw the ball at this coacher, think
ing him to be the third baseman.
Naturally, the ball passed on and the
runner continued on for a score. The
umpire at the plate. seeing the coacher
out of his proper place, ordered the
runner back to third base. His
authority to rule in this case was dis
puted by the team at bat. it's claim
being that he had no jurisdiction over
the base runners or coachers.

fair. the rules do not give either UNI

The oldest inhabitant cannot remember
a worse tournament day than that which
greeted the players in the qualification

Rich Nash, who is the democrat
ic candidate for commissioner from the
third district, was in the city Satur-
day night, remaining until Sunday
when he left for home. Mr.. Nash is
an excellent citizen and to assist in his
election will afford his many friends in
all sections of Idaho county a pleasure.
Nash is big enough and broad enough

of his own affairs and will give to the
county the same careful and conserya-
tive management and at the same time
is reasonable man who is not penny
wise and pound foolish, g. they say.

Sharp and number of others have
gone together and will ship the seed
this week. The price received is three
and half cents pound, on board cars
at Grangeville. While this is not in it
with the price of last year, eight to
twelve cents, there still remains a nice
balance on the right side of the ledger.
Mr.. Sharp was visitor here during
Border Days and in speaking of the
show today said it was about the best
ever and Grangeyille had a right to
feel proud over her efforts.
