SHUTTLE MEADOW
 STARTS SATURDAY
Match Play Against Par to
 Feature Postponed Opening

Disappointed and sore over the fact that the official opening of the golting season at Shuttle Maadow had to be cancelled last saturday afternoon, will be wiped away this weekend if. again. the weather per mits. when the opening day ccre- monies will be observed on s..-tur- day instead Of ast week. Where re- joicing will take the place Of gloom over the fact that tn" tournaments will be started again, many will start eff the first tee with trapilation and trembling because Of the battle that faces them.
 Every member of the club who enters Saturdays call will meet the toughest customer in the game, Old Man Par. The tournament Saturday will be match play against Par with a full handicap allowed and it is d. safe bet 10 say that there will be more golfers who will fall before the common enemy on Saturday than there will be winners over the buga- boo of every golf course.
 Like the Light Brigade" of the famous Reclamation by the same name, the members of shuttle Mea- dow club will advance with Par To the right Of them. Par to the left Of them and Par in front of them" through nine gruclling holes. Iron and brassie shots will yolley and thunder but even as the story goes, only a few will return unscathed from the battle.
 There is q weakness in every hu- man opponent and it only has to be found to enable any player 10 cut down a natural advantage but tn. only weakness in the makeup of old Man Par is his fondness for shatter- ing good gotins marks and equally good intentions. Invisible though he is, he is always present lowering about like an evil spirit ready to sutfaw at every dhb shot and every miss.
 Many who hadn't planned on play ing last Saturday will enter this weeks event and a full field of rec OFI S'tkinE shooters IS expected out. 'keck' Parker and his tourna- mcnt committee have arranged for special prizes for the winners and these should be an added incentive for th" players 10 break their pre- Nious scores
 Despite the plon'itudc of rain dur ing the past week. Val Flood has kept complete control over the course and everything will be :n ship shape for the first tournament of the season. The greens are perfect or nearly so.The fairways look inrit- ing and the tees are hard and right for good driving. The rough. how ever, is just as wicked as ever While the bunkcrs and other traps are as big as they eyer were.
 A special meeting of the two sec ions of the alib fraternity. the "lffers' and the "Damphinos" will be held this week and q conference will develop, it is hoped, some bet ter excuses than were offered last season.

Cairo. Egypt. Mary i p,---The Egyptian reply to Great Britain will probably be presented this after noon. It is understood to be couch- ed in fricndlicst terms and expresses Egypt's inability to admit the right of Great Britain or any other power to interfere with the independent legislation of the Egg -tian parlia- ment. but in order to demonstrate Egypt's good will and her desire to maintain friendly relations with Great Britain the assemblies bill was not proceeded with last night at tn- tended. but will be held oyer until the next parliamentary session.
 The Egyptian government ev- presses the hope that in the mean- time a basis of better understanding will be reached. permitting the re- moyal of present difficulties. It trusts that the manner in which the reply is woried will convince Great Britain of Egypt's desire 10 avoid friction and that Great Britain will accept the Egyptian action as a satisfactory response 10 her ulti- matum.
