tournaments. They have 5ourneyed
throughout the east helping the Red
Cross. Libetry loan and other war
missions
The matches between these five
stars have furnished much of the
best golf Of the season. Some
times they would team up against
themselves, while on different &C
easiOns the strongest profession
ais have been added 10 the COM
bination.
Jerry Travers at the outset be-
lieVed his golf clubs could be Of in
valuable aid in war work and he's
been swinging them since early spring.

Settle Queer Case.
The problem Of rules as it had to do
with the recent question put up TO the
United States Golf association. where
in man was supposed to have played
the wrong ball at the home hole, has

elapsed before A, discovering a ball
in the pocket OF his gOlfinH coat as
sumed that this was the ball with
which he had played the 36th hole.
There is no positive proof that such
