NO RULES GOVERN F0URs0ME
Governing Body Takes No Cogn'zance
Of Popular Game OF American
Golf Players.

Strange to say, there are no rules
made by the Royal and Ancient ciup
Of st. Andrews, which rules govern
American golf generally, to cover the
ordinary foursome of the American
links. in which four players compete
each for himself. That seems TO De
the most popular number Of players
;n match in America, yet the gov
erning body of golf takes no cogiliz-
ance of this kind of match. A four
hall match IS defined in the rules as
two players playing their better pan
against the better ball OF two o.iieI
n,ayers. The reason for this neglect
Is that abroad they just don't pay
that kind of match.
