Tew Rules in a Nutshell
No matter whpre you may he, it is
best to stand still until your opponent or
companions have played. This Is only
fair to the othPi player and when you
are fair to him you arp also fair to your
self, and when you have obsprvpil the
etiquette of the ganle you feel that you
are playing It moie fully Always play
in turn N'pvpi speaU whrn tlio other
man is playing Ho not get angry and
throw your iltibs, you are not the only
ptaytr who Ins had trouble on the links

A stiff wind was blowing against us

"That'H a wonderful shot, Mr Travis,
a wonderful shot'" Tie turned aroupd
and answered "Of course. It is I, what
did you expect? t was aInosC taken
off my feet but after all, why should I
have expected anything flc from s;o
great a player He was merely true to
form I can assuro you, however, that
I did not say another word the rest of
the day
When a player has made a very poor
shot, do not Fay "you booked it, you
tonned it you smothered It, It is going
I Into the bunker," and so on These re-
I marks are all superlluous, becauso the
player Is Ixith seeing and feeling what Is,
happening tu his shot. I think that the
bet thing to no wnen tnu utner icim io
hnvlnc his troubles on the links and we
all hive them is not to Fay a word lo
him ; it's the rare man who can sym
pathize tactfully
Do not. however, fall to stand up for
your rights, for an unfair game has no
value, It Ii worse than nothing. It Is
delightful to win a match, but to lose
one gracefully Is a much finer thing.

noon The bachelors of the club and
the visitors noted the coolness In the air
and marveled thereat 'Dip younger ma
trons would not talk with their nvly

tljero weie no wolds of friendly greeting
There Tas a Reason
And the icason for It was that thev
vere plavlng the annual Husband and
Wife golf tournament an guests of Mr
and I) iv Id I. Short, ind one of the
mips of tlio Talsc? Votis Tournament,
as Dick .Short named II, was that no
huslnnd was permitted to speak to bis
wife under the penalty qf a stroke, and,
tb mnkp mntters more cruel, the wives
wtlp not allowed to talk to their hus
bands under a sin, liar penalty.
In fact, thero vvas only one couple on
the course who did talk lo each other,
and that was the host and bis wife
Later on Mr Klioit played In the tou'rnt
nipnt and Mrs. Short had to talk to
some one else. i
This Caililie Knew His French
laspwliere are noted the conditions of
tho Talsez Vous Tournament, which one
of tlio caddies' literally translated as
the Shut Up tournament, but lilc.Ii
m'ght more politely be termed the Keep
Quiet tournament, although somewhere
in Trance, before the war, when a
1'ienchw onian said, "talsez vous" to her
husband or children be and they knew
it meant "Shut up "
Some dlsgiunlled bachelor who was
not asked to play when lie saw the
little personal conditions, remarked: "How lan n per-

But for a,vvhlfe men were dancing with
other wives and wives were tripping the

awful deeds with wood and iron clubs
were being told and retold. Put no

How It Orifiinaleil
Three years ago Mr, Short, who Is
better known at Whltemamh as Dick
Short, conceived tlie Husband juid Wife
tournament as the means of bringing the
men and women together, and It has
been most successful. 'The first tourna
ment wan won by Mr and Mrs, C. M.
Butterworth.
Thlrly-elRht pairs were entered in the
match on Thursday and the great ma
jority of these were wlvcu and husbands
an partners tarriea wuiurn wiiurc
husband do not play nnd single woipen
were permitted to Invite other men. .Se
lective drives wcro not used, the players
driving alternately) Tlila wan done be
causo of the, difference Jr-j.-ljapeiicanB
J, W. Turnbull iad n plus one handicap
and her husband a ten Under the se-leetlve-drlvo
plan It would have been
much easlei for Mr. and Denting to win,
as In cverv lasp his drive could be se
beted Hut alternating placed Mr
Turnbull with hec very low handicap
fin a basis with Mrs Dcniing witli her
high rating. Because of the varying
handicaps the alternate dilve was
thought lo be the fairest to all concerned,
as manv ot the woirn play hut little,
and It is necessary to give them the
limit Inndleap to put them on a par
with the team players.
Here Are the Winners
Mr. .Short offered three prbes. a silver
cup for tlie low net, nnd tills went to
Mr. and Mrs Deming with a score of
107 28 7D. The second prize went lo
Mis Helen Oormley and Horace Daw
son with a score of 101 II 80, whllo
hf third was won by Mr. nnd Mrs J F.
Wood vMtli 116 33 83. Tho low gross
score was made by Miss Maude Hoffman
nnd K Chapman with aj99.
Mr. Short also gave a thrift stamp to
every man and woman wht. refrained
fiom talking to each other, nnd while
theio wtrd seventy-six playing only
twelve won the stamps All of which
shows that silence Ik gotden. Aftei the
buffet supper vvas served there was danc
ing for all the participants, and later In
the evening tluj prizes were presented by
Charles Si, Balr, with some witty remarko
thrown In for good measure. Then
came tho Husband and Wife Song, with
a dozen amusing verses descriptive of
the married men In the tourney
Why He Was Mirthful
One ot the club members met one of
tlie husbands playing the third hole, and
on his face was a look of glee. "Wnv
this mirth?' asked the member. "Well,"
my wife has had me In the rough four
times, in a trap twice and I just sent her
Into the creel.. She's afraid to say any
thing to me for fear we will get a stroke
added to our rapidly mounting score,"
Husbands swore under their breath
when theh wives used wcoden clubs to
get out of tall grass, and women moaned
when the men ruined perfectly good
drives, but there were times when both
I played well and it was hard work not to
say ine snov or "wen piayeu. Most
of the contestants thought it might have
been better if the players had been given
the right to praise the good shots of their
partners and refrain from criticizing or
suggesting.
But no one got real mad or lost his cr
her temper, and as has been said before
a good time vfas bad by all

"major leagues that are affected," said
Chairman Herrmanns Katement, "It
will absolutely crush a business that
has more lhan $8, 000,000 capital In
vested, exclusive of tlio value of their
franchise and players "
In his statement Chairman Herrmann
said:
"The book value of i"he combined plunts
of the sixteen clubs, not Including the
framhlso value or the value of players,
is $8 B37.7B4.12. while tho amount sub
scribed bv the officials and stockholders
of the various clubs for Liberty Bonds
amounted to $8,622,450."
The statement brought out tlic fact
that of the 631 reserve players In major
league clubs on October 1, 1917. ninety
one, or 17.1 per cent, have volunteered
and sixty-three, or 11.8 per cent, have
been drafted Into service. In this con
nection Chairman Herrmann says: "I
am quite sure that no other line of busi
ness or occupation can make a better
showing than this "
The statement Informs General Crow
der that the average salary of the play
ers who volunteered was J2521 24 and
of those who were drafted $2441 2C for
a period of six months only. To this
paragraph Chairman Herrmann adds:
VSo It cannot be held that thev soucht
service In order to benefit their condl-'
tlon from a financial standpoint."
The statement adds: "H will be nultc
a-los to sopie of the clubs when their'
players who are now In classification A-l ,
are called. We realize that there can
not and should not be any exceptions
made in cases of this kind and that class
of players must stand In the same cate
gory as far as the draft regulations aie
cerned as any other person."
The statement says that the game
offers a field for relaxation, diversion
and recreation unequalcd by any amuse
ment throughout the country, and in

Jack Urltton In New York laat Thursday
New York, June 22.
John A. Heydler, secretary of the Na
tional Baseball League, Issued a state
ment here last night declaring that the
Philadelphia American League club, and
not the Boston Nationals, should bt
charged with neglect In the controversy,
resulting In court actlun, over the em
ployment by Philadelphia of Pitcher
Scott Perry, formerly with the Atlanta
club, of the Southern Association.
Heydler asserted that the Phlladel-,
phi a club violated ruin ten of the Na
tlonal Commission, which provides that
the transfer of a player by or to a
major league club shall not be valid I
unless, under a form of agreement pre
scribed by the commission stating the
terms of the deal. No agreement has
been filed, he said, for the transfer of
Perry.
The Boston club, Heydler asserts, did
not know that Perry was with Phlladel- i
phla until he had wort and lost a game, I
which disposes of the nssertlon of the
Philadelphia officials that "Boston made I
no claim to Perry until ho began to
show major league ability'
As soon as President ITsiiirhlnn ne
Boston, vvas aware of Perry's Jump,
Heydler states, he demanded that his
club be allowed to complete the terms
of Its 1917 agreement with Atlanta for'
thirty days' trial of this player. , '
