A notable absentee from tournament
golf during the season just closed was
Gardiner ". White, OF Oakland, who has
been suffering for nearly a year from
Rheumatism. White has entirely recov-
cred from his illness, and for the last few
weeks has been playing the game of his
life at Oakland. 1t has encouraged him
TO such an extent that he has announced
his intention OF entering most Of the open
and invitation tournaments in 1913.
After winning the interschoastic cham
pionship few years back. White bios
somed out into one Of the best golfers in
the district. good enough 70 be handl-
capped at two In the metropolitan list

Fox Hills. Ardsey, Powelton and Garden
City, and won medals at Wykagyl and
Fox Hills. He was runner up at Nassau

best American golfers, and he has held
the championship OF the Oakland Golf
Club for four successive years.
Playing a soclable round with Marshall

GHOSTS OF THE OCEAN
Phantom Ships That Reappear in
Times of Great Storms

From the LONDON Standard.
The number of phantom ships is legion.
Several of the vessels which were wrecked
in close proximity to the scene of the I'll
tanic dlsastc are even said to reappear
in the same spot on certain occasions.
The Packet Light is one of these and the
story runs that whenever storm is
threatened a ball of fire energies from
the spot where the ship sank, which pres
entity forms itself into the shape of ves-
sci and then sinks and disappears
King George V. and his brother, the late
Duke OF Clarence, when on their cruise in
the Bacchante from 1879 to 1882 are stated
to have seen the phantom of the Flying
Dutchman and the duke mentioned the
fact in his diary under date of July II,
1881.
A three masted frlgate is said to haunt
the English channel in the vicinity of the
over ightshir whenever a gale or snow
storm is threatened Hundreds of people
have declared that they have seen the
appartion and heard the cries of the
ghostly passengers. 1t is sometimes said
TO be the phantom of the training ship

loss of about 200 lives.

Horse Up a Tree

From the Baltimore American, =
Visitors to Ferry Bay were much sur
prised yesterday morning to see a horse
up among the branches of a tree. The
animal had got in its uncomfortable pos
ton by falling 10 feet from a bank that
overtopped the tree. The tree probably
saved the horses life hFeA
Blocks and fall were fastened to a tree
stump on top of the hill and leather belts
were wrapped about the horse When the
work of hitching the belts was completed
1t was found that the animal could not
be rescued until several of the limbs of
the tree were cut off. This took consid-
cradle time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work of the score or
more of men who We're trying to release
him. With the removal of the last liz -
the horse was slowly drawn 20 the Up
of the bank from which he had fallen. A
close examination revealed that outside OF
q few scratches he was unhurt.

ROYAL MAST TREES
Mark of the Broad Arrow on Ply
mouth Colony Pines

From Harper's Weekly.
In the provincial charter of 1881 under
which the Plymouth colony and the Prov
ince of Maine We're united with Massa-
chusetts, 1t was provided that all trees of
the diameter of "a inches and upward
70 inches from the ground, growing upon
land not heretofore granted to any pri-
vate person, should be reserved to the
crown for the furnishing of masts for
the royal navy.
A encouragement of woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision of the
charter was carried into effect. Near the
coast all white pines of suitable dimen-
slons were marked with the broad ar
row''-three cuts through the bark with
an axe, like the track of crow. This
was the Kings mark.
Long after the revolution had obliter-
ated the royal authority men who had
been taught in boyhood TO respect the
kings mark hesitated to cut such trees.
In Telling a tree ii was necessary to
"bed it" to prevent its breaking. This
was done by cutting the small growth
