cause human nature is like that we
have nightwatchmen and time locks
on safes--the ball is put down a lit
tie nearer to the cup. Other times
and because human nature is like
that we have hoosegowS and hand
cuffs-the mud that was on the
ball when it was picked up is no
longer there. And that, little buffers,
is ever so much against the rules.
According to the proposed amend
ment, the player furthest from the

green, shall go ahead and shoot, and
if he misses. go ahead and shoot
again until he holes out. The boys

seems to stand in the way of its
immediate enactment is the fact
that it is so sensible.
