by the United States Golf Association
was indicated by j. Frederic Bycrs, of
Pittsburgh, in accepting the presidency
of the IT, S. G.. A. at the annual meet

pleaded for uniformity of rules, not
only in the United States, but through
out the world, so that the game may be
played the same everywhere.
Discussing the abolishmcnt of the
etymic and rib-faccd clubs and other

the game should not be made easier by
letting down certain regulations, as
that would spoil the pleasure of the
game.
President Byers declared in favor
of legislation by the T. S. G.. A. and
other American golf associations that
would adhere as closely as possible
TO the royal and ancient golf rules.
under which, he said golf had cx-
pandcd to a greater degree than any
