RICH DUCHESS DEMANDS
carriage AND PAIR
Member of English Royal Family
Spurns Automob iles-Prefers
Prancing Steeds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 12.-Nothine
but carriage and pair" of the style
popular in the days of Queen Victoria
has any interest whatever for the
Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos,
who spurns the automobile.
She has ridden in motor Gears with
some of her friends, but never
again." she always says, as she pre-
fers the prancing steeds and the old.
fashioned four-wheel vehicle. with
tires of iron which rattle over the
pavement when the peeress comes
along.
The duchess, who was a personal
friend of the later Emperor and En-
press of Russia, often visiting them
in old st. Petersburg, is the only
member of the aristocracy who still
clings to the carriage and pair, which
rolls up in front Of her Cadogan
Square residence every morning at
half past 10 to take the owner for
ride through the parks.
The duchess, formerly a great
traveller. still devotes part of each
afternoon to writing and painting.
She is known as "the versatile peer.
ess' because of her interest and en-.
thusiasm in charity work as we'll as
her own affairs. The duchess best
known books are ''Glimpses of Four
continents, Letters from Egypt"
WHY Wind and Jack and the
Cheeses." and Wartime Ditties.''
The dukedom of Buckingham and
Cna nods became extinct on the death
of the last duke, in 1889

BY o. b. KELLER.


After a discussion of the aston
fishing speed of the Oakmont
green's In the recent open golf
championship. which cost Ted
Ray, the big English professional
who is regarded as having the fin
est putting touch in the world,
80 strokes on the putting surfaces
of the third round and 40 in the
second, Big Ted, also famous
player of recovery shots, gave his
ideas on the furrowed sands in the
Oakmont bunkers.
Ted did not complain of the
speed of the greens-he said it was
all his fault that his puts slid
away from the objective. And he
merely said that in his opinion the
furowed sand in the bunkers was
too leveling an idea.
This sounded interesting. and
asked him to continue. You know,
the furrowed bunkers at Oakmont
are a sort of tradition; l had
little story of them in. this series
before the tournament, and sug-
gested then that there were at
least two ideas about them. One
is the Oakmont idea, which is that
a player is not compelled to put
the ball in a bunker, and that
when he does he should pay a
specific penalty by finding the ball
in a furrow from which only a
blasting shot will recover him. 1t
is not intended that player in an
Oakmont bunker 200 yards from
the green shall put that ball on
or near the green with his next
shot.
Ted Rays idea IL the other.
Says Ted:
1.-THE recovery shot from sand In
a bunker is a distinct type OF golf
shot, executed by a good player in
a variety of ways and with va
riety of clubs. On what we call
wind blown sand--that is, sand in
it's natural state-a golfer may find
his ball lying well enough. despite
the proximity Of possible mound
before the bunker, to play a BOOM
erang shot, If he requires distance.
An expert golfer can cut or pull
spoon shot so yards off line to es.
cape the mound and bring the ball
in near, or maybe on, the green,
200 or 220 yards away. He can ex-
ecute other shots Of various ranges

golfers are automatically reduced

this is taking variety out of the
game, and some of the just reward

should not be in the bunker. But
every one is, at times. And the

golf. 1t should not be reduced
