GOLF ON SKATES
 IS NEWEST FAD

CHICAGO, Jan. 3o.-Just as Chicago golfers thought that they had discov- cred a new variety of the Scotch game by playing golf on the ice while shod with skates, warm weather today stopped the sport. While the ice was available, Bob Macdonald, metropoli- tan open golf champion. and Chick Evans aided a number of golfers in trying the Arctic golf. Nine holes were chopped in the ice of a pond in park and the players putted into these holes while on skates. Mashies were used to pitch the balls to a marked spot on the snow bank of the lagoon. It was found that the golfer could control his stroke pretty well while standing on skates, and the trip after the ball was made a skating sprint.
 With the return of frigid conditions, 1t is planned to work out a regular golf hockey and arrange for a tournament.

Parties
r in the field in Indiana in the
| November election That NAV

POSSIBLY nine tickets will be
r in the field in Indiana in the
- November election. That may
preclude the use Of voting machines
and compel US to revert to the old
printed ballot system. For the vot-
ing machines only have space for
seven ticket.
One would think that seven tick
cts would afford the voter a sufficient
range for the exercise OF his political
fancy. But apparently nine will be
required this fall.
Very few Indianapolis voters could
name more than six of the nine
probable tickets without much crank
ing Of rusty mental machinery.
They are: Republican. Demo
cratic, La Toilette Progressive, Ma
tional Independent, Prohibition. So
ciahst. Socialist Labor, American and
Commonwealth Land
Three tickets will poll 80 per cent
Of the States vote. The others will
be conspicuous on the ballots-and
inconspicuous on the tally sheets.
Some minor parties. perhaps, are
the remnants of great movements
that once swayed many voters.
Others are just remnants Of nothing
in particular.
But they all file tickets.
Not with any hope Of success.
Should a candidate on some of these
minor tickets win. probably the en-

would die of shock.
