THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
THE BEST AID
TO A "HIGH SCORE
THE SMITH & WESSON
Single Shot Target Pistol
The S. & W. target pistol with auto
matic shell ejector, rebounding lock,
and adjustable target sights, is the final
triumph in the production of a thor
oughly accurate target pistol. Its recom
mendation by the committee, and its
wide use by experts are significant testi
mony to its high-score efficiency. The
.22 long rifle cartridge gives the best re
sults with this arm, but it is also bored
for the regular S. & W. .321088 and
.3516146.

FEW recent decisions by
the St. Andrews golf
rules committee should
be of great interest to en
thusiasts of the ancient
game, as a number of
very interesting questions are revealed.
One of especial interest to Metropolitan
golfers is the question that came up at a
foursome competition at the Crammond
Brig Club. As the advisability of hold
ing mixed foursomes is being discussed
in the metropolitan associations, the an
swers should have some weight with the
local golfers.
In the Crammond Brig tourney it de
veloped that one couple did not have a
pair to play with, and were in a curious
predicament. They explained the diffi
culty to the stewards, but the latter
could not remedy the matter and as a re
sult the couple had to play alone, and
the pair brought along another player as
a marker. The team subsequently won
the tournament, and the question that
now confronted the committee was
whether the pair should be disqualified
or not. It was left to the rules com
mittee, and the latter gave the following
answer, and proved that the players
were entitled to the prize on any ground :
"There being no local committee present,
and as no official marker was provided,
the pair were in the same position as a
single player and were therefore within
their rights, as they adopted the only
course open to them."
Another case answered by the St. An
drews committee was that of the Cam
bushlange tournament last October,
when three couples drove off together
from the last tee at 5 :30 o'clock in the
evening and darkness was approaching.
It was also shown that these three
couples were not the only ones on the
links, and the question arose as to
whether the six players should be al
lowed their scores or be disqualified.
The answer was very clear as the rule
distinctly states that no more than two
players shall play together.
The case of a ball lodging in a tree,
brought up by the Brodisholm Club, is
interesting because the rules committee
does not give a direct answer on the is
sue. The experts dodge it by saying
that this is a matter of local rule, or
that rule two, which allows a ball to be
lifted under a two stroke penalty, should
apply. There does not seem to be a
uniform practice in respect to the tree
penalty, but dropping a ball behind and
counting a stroke is generally regarded
as fair.
A good story is told by a New York
golfer, who was matched to play with a
Western player in a Western country
town. The latter was a self-taught golf
er, and he lost the ball on the second
hole. The Western man's conception of
the rule as used by his friends was that
both players go back to the first tee, and
start all over again. This he explained
is done to eliminate luck in winning or
losing a hole. The New Yorker was
as ounded, and asked vs hat the penalty
was for bad play, and found out that
there was none in that section of the
country. From this incident it can be
seen that the matter of "local rule'' is
sometimes unfair, and that for general
purposes rule two applies best.
Another case that comes up very fre
quently is that of the penalty stroke, and
procedure which governs a play in
which the . ball has accidentally
been moved. A case of this kind was
actually brought to the notice of the St.
Andrews committee, who wrote out an
opinion.
It seems that a certain golfer in play
ing on the green dropped a club on the
ball, and moved the sphere. The caddie
picked the ball up and placed it back on
the spot it had rested on previously.
This incident was reported to the club
committee and the latter body ruled that
the player loses a stroke.
The St. Andrews committee ruled that
the player was disqualified for not play
ing the ball from the place where it was
accidentally moved. The reason for this
was that owing to the penalty that had
been imposed the ball was as good as
played, and therefore could not be put
back to the spot where it was before the
accident.
One of the subsidary questions raised
by the club at which the above occur
rence took place is somewhat more com
plex, and there is room for a good deal
of discussion on the decision of the rules
committee. The point presented was the
supposition that the ball was accidentally
moved in mch a manner that it dropped
into the hole. In this case what would
the position of the play be in match or
stroke competition? To this query the
committee still holds the same ruling ;
that is, that the player loses a stroke,
and, of course, in accordance with its
ruling, the ball is holed.
It can readily be seen that this seems
unfair to the opponent, because, an ac
cident of this kind is to the advantage of
the player, as the stroke imposed is
practically no penalty. The idea sug
gested in this measure by the club was
that the rules committee formulate some
plan whereby the player shall put the
ball back in the original spot when it is
holed in this fashion and lose a stroke,
so that the penalty is real.
Cases of all kinds come up from time
to time and their solutious prove very
interesting, especially as they are bound
to occur at any time and under any circumstances.
Illrd Shooting- at It Dit.
Quail shooting continues at its best
and big bags rule. Preserves Manager
Morgan says the quail are even more
plentiful than earlier in the season, in
spite of the large number killed, owing
to favorable conditions for hunting.
Doves are abundant, numerous woodcock
are being killed and many are looking
forward to turkey hunting in the im
mediate future.
