Every golfer at some time or other
has been so disguised with the game
that he swore he would not play again
and offered to give away his clubs. But
seldom has the threat become an actual
ity, The caddie of DR.. w. V. Connors
of Manor took the genial Manorite
literally last Wednesday when DR.. Con-
nors pulled the time-worn line that
he was going to quit the game and give
away his weapons. He took 1t so literally
that when DR.. ConnorS came out 10
play in the Congressional tournament
on Thursday his clubs were not to be
found, and he assumed the boy had be-
lieved him and made OF with his clubs.
So Connors had to borrow set OF CLUBS
with which to continue play IN the
tourney. Latest dispatches from the
war fro&t relate that Connors still Is
looking Tor his weapons-and the caddie
who took him literally.
Two queer incidents happened in the
Congressional tourney that illustrate
the necessity for knowledge OF the rules
of golf. And strangely enough both
happened in the same golf match. j.
l.. Richards of Congressional and j. Q.
johnson of Beaver Dam were paired In
a first round match in the fifth flight.
On the fifth green the two balls lay
close to each other, but not close enough
for the near ball to be lifted. Richards
was away and he putted his ball into
the cup, but in the follow through OF
the stroke his club struck Johnson's
ball and knocked it away. They were
undecided as to the penalty, and told
Sandy Armour about it when they came
In. Armour ruled that under the rules
of golf Richards lost the hole.
On later hole JofnsonS caddie was
sent to hold the pin for Richards ap-
proach shot. Richards struck the ball
directly at the flag and the caddie,
seeing the ball likely to strike the
standard, dropped the pin and left 1t
alone for the ball to strike the stan.
Under the rules the man whose caddie
held the pin would lose the hole, but
what about IL when the pin was not
saw the ball about to strike the staff?
No penalty was incurred as the pin
was not held at the time 1t was struck
by the ball.
