GOLF DIvOTS
By Jimmy Lee

Editors Note: This column was
prepared for the October 23rd is
sue. Because of space limitations
it was held over to this issue.
Well, the good old golf season
is just about to come to a happy
ending for the season of 1886. Few
players are seen on the courses
these days-which reminds me of
the fact that ! did see DR.. "Teedy"
Crosthwaite of Detroit, Michigan,
out at Keller last Monday. DIR.
Crosthwaite who was here on a
visit was playing with DR.. Crump.
/ must say DIR. Crosthwaite's game
certainly has improved in the last
year or so. / really think DIR.
Crump is a better witness to that
than 1. Russell Underwood, after
being absent from actual play for
the last three or four weeks, re-
turned to action last Sunday. He
played along in three-some con-
sisting of Henry Huston, Percy
Hughes, and himself. All three
shot exceedingly good scores.
Huston being the low scorer.
Johnny Williams again came up
with a nice score-his being "a.
Nice going, Johnny.
Grant Twetty says his game
amt what it used to be-something
has come between him and his
drives-guess I will have to refer
Twetty to one, Bert Smith. He
seems to be suffering from the
same effects.
Here are a few things you prob
ably did know about golf: The
game of golf consists of a ball be-
ing played from the fleeing
Ground" into the hole by successive
strokes, with clubs and balls made
in conformity with the direction
laid down in the clause on Form
and Make of Golf Clubs and Balls. I"
A "side" consists of one or more
players. If one player plays
against another, the match is
called ga single"
If one plays against two, each
side playing one ball, the match is
called "a three-some."
If two play against two, each
side playing one ball, the match is
called a "four-some."
If three play against one an
other, each playing his own ball,
the match is called a "three ball
match"
If one plays against the better
or best ball of two or more play
ers, the match is called ga best
ball match"
If two play their better ball
against the better ball of two other
players, the match is called "a
four ball match"
The words course" applies to
the whole area within which play
is permitted, more particularly, it
is ground between the holes which
is specially prepared to play.
The fleeing Ground" is the
starting place for the hole to be
played. The fronts are usually in
dicated by two markers.
A Hazard" is any bunker,
water, ditch, sand or road. Sand
blown on the grass or sprinkled on
the course for its preservation,
bare patches, scrapes, tracks and
paths are not hazards.

AT KINGS SIDE

SUNNINGDALE, England, Dec.
10 GN.SO.-To a mist-shrouded,
turreted country mansion the
brothers of King Edward came
sadly and separately today to be
with the monarch in the last hours
of his brief reign.
The Duke of York, slated to sue
ceed Edward as Albert I, was the
first to arrive. He sat in the rear
seat of a royal limousine reading
a newspaper. as the car turned
through q rarely-used side gate
of Fort Belvedere. ..
The Duke Of Gloucester was
next to arrive. and the Duke Of
Kent reached the Kings residence
five minutes later. Both were
driving their own cars. All three
brothers looked pale and tired.

Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
Following disposal Of routine

further led to believe that q
happy solution was being found.
Now they learn that their King,
whom they worshipped almost
like a young God, is going away.
May Show Feeling
Has the entire nation turned
bitterly against Edward, as parlia-
mentary circles insist? Is there
truly a solid feeling that Edward
let them down in the choice of his
love before his duty to the empire?
When the sad news is fully
known, it is possible that the
masses whom Edward loved and
befriended, and the millions of
war veterans who were his buddies
in France, may show how they feel.
Perhaps, though. they will not,
for a new king awaits formal &C.
clamation in the shadow of the
vacant throne, and the cabinet
ministers declare that this has
been an issue of democratic gov
ernment, and not sentimentality.

KINGS ASSENT.
TO ABDICAT|0N
HIS LAST ACT

LONDON, Dec. 10 G.N.S0 Ed.
wards last act as King will be to
assent to special legislation ap-
proving his own abdication, and
making the Duke of York King in
his stead, parliamentary experts
said today.
Despite Edwards abdication, he
will still be rightful occupant Of
the throne under the act of settle.
ment, and that act must be
amended to make his brother King
and to provide for the succession
of Princess Elizabeth.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
already has Edwards signed notice
of intention to abdicate. This.
then, is the procedure to be fol.
lowed in Parliament today.
Baldwin will make a statement
in the House of Commons, and
Lord Halifax will make a similar
declaration to the Lords, saying
that the King decided to abdicate
to be free to marry. The govern
ment will announce its intention
of introducing legislation provid.
ing for the change.
An hours adjournment is then
planned, to be followed by a debate
on the Baldwin statement. The
legislation is then expected to be
rushed through, and Edwards act
of assent will automatically make
Albert king.

ROOSEVELTS ABSENT
The President and Mrs. Roose-
welt were both absent from Wash
ington. Likewise Secretary Of
State Hull.
The abdication Of Edward and
the expected accession of Albert,
his second brother, served to focus
attention on a duty that Mr..
Roosevelt will have to perform
soon after his return from South
America. An American representa-
tive must be appointed for the
coronation exercises in May, and
already there is considerable
scrambling for the honor.
Whoever gets it will have to pay
dearly for the privilege. as the
expenses for such a mission far
exceed whatever appropriation
Congress makes in such circum-
stances. This serves to narrow the
choice down to men of some wealth
who can afford to spend $50,00O
or 100000 for the honor of repre-
senting his country upon such an
historic occasion.

Shortest Reign Since
1883 Comes 10 Close

LONDON. Dec. 10 G.N.S).-Cut
short by his romance with Mrs.
Wallis Simpson. the reign of King
Edward VIII, coming to an end
today, will go down in history as
the shortest of any British King
in 453 years. The outgoing mon
arch has reigned 10 months and
81 days. This record for brevity
has not been equaled since 1888,
when Edward v. reigned slightly
more than two months.
