Edward Styles of the Washington
Golf and Country Club, the pro was

The latteS was about so. The pair
played a second nine holes and Bur-
CESS scored a 35 for the first nine,
the most difficult part of the journey.
This is real golf, for despite the fact
that the players are entitled to tee
up through the fairway. the absolute
lack of run on the ball from the tee
and through the green makes the
long holes very hard indeed.

Riding of opposing players from the
bench, to my way of thinking, has no
place in base ball. Yet that one fea-
ture makes more trouble for officials
in charge of the game than any one
other thing. You will perhaps say
that umpires should have no trouble
suppressing such tactics, but there
YOU are wrong. Seeing that proper
discipline is maintained on the bench
toward the opposition is the hardest
part of the umpiring job. from my
viewpoint.
Connie Mack has never stood for
such a system. Mack is of the opin-
ion that umpiring plays an important
part in the winning or losing of every
game. He also believes that an UNI
Dire cannot do himself justice or the
contending teams If his mind is con-
stantly being taken from his work to
handle some other situation. There is
no doubt that efficient umpiring de-
mands concentration to the highest
degree on each ball pitched, on every
play made Very often the slightest
fraction of a second, when ones at
tention is not on his work proper, may
prove fatal.
From the umptreS point OF view L
like ball clubs that have pepper and
life on the bench. / don't like to see
a team line up on the bench as il all
of them were mourners> at funeral
The difficult thing is to keep ball
clubs, in their enthusiasm to win, to
refrain from indulging in personali-
ties. Sometimes these personalities
are of such a nature that it is hard to
take exceptions; they border on the
humorous. or are clever bits of repair
tee. More often, however they are of
a nature that stirs up i'll feeling, re-
sentiment and sometimes trouble. To
keep such situations from arising the
umpire must always be careful not to
let the actions of the men on the
bench get beyond his control.
The Boston clubs in the two major
leagues have always been more or
less serious offenders in this respect.
Several members of the Boston Ma
tionals, whom l know very well, have
openly boosted to me that they beat
the Athletics in 1914 as much with
their tongue lashing as they did with
their bats. 1t is a favorite diversion
in base ball to dig up the past history
of a player if he has ever done any
thing on or of the ball field that won't
pass muster. and to refresh his men,
ory on that subject at some critical
time during the progress Of the game.

Action on the mooted question OF
abolishing the stymie rule IN the
United States, although it VIII De
advanced by members of the deiega-
ton from the Massachusetts Golf AS
ISOLATION to the United Golf Assocla-
ton meeting in New York next sat
urday and strenuously pressed by
them, will probably be deferred until
some action has been taken by the
British golf body. Although not Of
ficially announced, shortly before this
country went to war the united
States Golf Association was in re-
ceipt of letter from the secretary of
the British Golf Association asking
that the U. S. G. A. defer action until
the end of the war. The actual end
of the war has not come, according
to authorities, and on this basis as
well as those of sentiment the L. S.
G. A, it is predicted. will take no &C
ton anent the stymie at its annual
meeting.
The whole stymie question has been
a thorn in the side of golf for the past
five years and even before that time
golf associations naQ taken seriously
claims of opponents of the rule. In
!, 1917 the Western Golf Association,
throwing precedent to the winds and
frowning upon the powers that be
from their attitude of radical sec
tionaIism, abolished the stymie in
western golf association jurisdiction,
and so it has remained in competition
to this day. British golf circles have
also been agitated over the problem.
There is no question but that OPP
ponents of the stymie have in many
respects a just claim and a good one.
! There is no apparent skill in laying
a stymie 1t merely consists in the
luck of a ball rolling in front of the
| opponents in such way as to block
| the hole. But there Is this to be said.
| If a man is clever with his putter
| and believes he cannot hole his ball,
| he can play the putt with the chance,
| if his own ball is not holed, of lay
| ing his opponent a stymie. Even in
| this case. though. it savors of trick
| cry and probably will be abolished,
| for. by allowing it to stand. a hole
that should be won outright is often
only halved.
