major Importance to the coal miners
of this country. During the last few
years they have faced many difficult
situations. They have seen repub-

life,

and even murder is the lot of the
miners in their fight for the most ele-
mentary rights"

To most golfers a quartet OF
players Is a foursome, which Is
technically out of line unless the
quartet are playing as partners
and the two partners constituting
each side are playing alternate
strokes with the same ball.
This Is the true Scottish four
some. It Is not much played in this
country save as a novelty-usually
a mixed affair, somewhat terrible,
with both the man and the woman
driving from each tee and selecting
which drive they will continue to
play. Foursome play Is a regular
part of the international and Ryder
cup matches, however, and usually
develops some interesting anec.
dotes.

bracketed Leo Diegel and Wild Bill
Mehlhorn as partners; a whimsical
notion, since both are Of a volatile
and excitable disposition and they
react on one another about like the
two parts Of Seidlitz powder. This
was the only match the Americans
lost of the four played in this half
of the contest, but it wasn't from
lack of earnest endeavor on the
part Of Leo and Wild Bill. In fact,
they tried rather too hard.
While the affair ended in some

started Off close enough and was
still about level when 1t reached
the middle of the second nine,
where a dog-leg drive-and.pitch
hole presented itself-the thirteenth
or fourteenth, I think. Leo and
Mehlhorn by this time were rather
getting on each others nerves. One
of them would slap good approach
up on a green and the other would
miss the putt, or else leave the
other five-footer coming back,
which he would miss. And they
were comforting constantly and
were rather free with advice, at
times of an abrupt nature.
Coming to the hole in question,
1t was Mehlhorn's turn to drive.
Now, Leo" said Bill, II know
you can't pitch to this green from
anywhere except well out to the
left, so I'm going to place this drive
right out at the lefthand edge Of
the fairway and open the green

intended to go to the right.

Leo. For heavens sake, Bill,

me! Just shut your eyes and let

From that point on, the Ameri-

A story is told of Harry Vardon
and James Braid that illustrates
how partners in a foursome can
make use Of each others good
shots. They were in a competition
on a very dry course with cer-
