There was no diner on the overnight

and when they arrived at Tredynrin
Francis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford

whether you had to putt a stym'' you
"Eyerybody knows that one, and I'm
surprised at Anderson" said one ex-
psrt golfer in the group. "C course,
You have to putt stymie you lay your

You can eoncede any putt-even II
you lay yourself q stymie.
"Hince vhen1" demanded a chorus.
"Ah," replied the Bostonian. the
rule has been changed since you last
"well, then, how about this one1"
asked Marston after the pause. AT
Merton the other day a player in a club
event hit his ball at the ninth green.
II went on a line, crashed into the
and stayed In there. The funny part
was a few days later q woman hit
ball which went into the hole in the
basket made BY the first ball. How
should one play the next shotF'
Silence.
That's good" remarked Ouimet
after q minute" so now I'll come right
back at you. At our club q man tried
to hit mashie shot to the green and
came down SO hard on the ball that his
club stock in It, almost cutting it in
two. The ball wouldn't drop off the
club. What to do2'
Ball Sticks
~ saw a golfer do that at Pine VAL
ley In a bunker. His ball stuck to his
niblic where he cut into it," answered
Marston, so he carried club and ball
out Of the bunker and went on play
ing;;,T .,.,
tsrjected Ouimet, threw club and ball
to the green and the ball rolled off the
stick near the hole"
. There was laugh and a brisk dis
cussion which was headed nowhere when
Ouimet cut In with another.
II was playing once in a champion
ship against my brother in law, and we
both put our shots In a bunker" he
said. when We came up we found the
balls were touching, but he was away.
We scratched our heads. We asked the
high heavens for a ruling, but there
was no response, so picked up my ball
and he played. 1t was all in the family
He crashed into his niblic shot, got out
and left regular shell hole. l dropped
my ball over my shoulder and It rolled
into that hole he left. took two shots
to get out"
Ouimet said he came near being
disqualified, but was saved because a
point like this was not covered too
well. .Anyh how he got away with It
even If he lost the hole.
Tough Break
Il think now I should have askeu
him to smooth out his wreckage in the
sand before | dropped" the Boston star
continued. But l had a fine lie at
first and I don't think any one should
have to drop in a bunker"
Nobody could offer any solution des-
pite the fact that the British champion,
the American champion and other nota-
oles sat in the discussion. But Quimet
was not yet through
