Golf Rule Pertaining to Flag Stick
Provokes Arguments Among Players
1* • C7 *
Nnv York, Feb. 2.1.—Aside from the
stymie rule, says s golf writer, there
is probably nothing in golf which pro
vokes so much argument and discus
sion as tlie riding pertaining to the
f'ng Stic!,-. Seldom does a week pass
that the United States Oolf associa
tion is not called upon to make a de
vision along these lines, and one of the
latest sides the question has taken Is
tlie result of a handicap medal play
eompetition between a good player
and a "duffer" who was given, a 10
stroke allowance.
Toward the end of the round the
long handicap man stuck file flag
stick with a chip shot of about
25 yards, and ns the flivt stick was
still in the bole, tlie ball came to
rest within a few Inches of the pin.
The other man was about to bit bis
chip shot when Ids opponent in
structed Ids caddie to remove tlie
stick. It was argued that if A, tlie
“duffer," could have tlie stick left
for him, lie could do likewise for It.
H allowed the rule, which said:
“Either side Is entitled to have the
flag stick removed when approaching
the hole," which It took to mean that
lie was entitled to have the stick re
moved, nr left IT he wanted It—-just
ns in A s case. The decision in the
case was tIrat A was In the right, si)
tar as the letter of tile law was con
cerned. •
To plenty of minds (lie wording of
the role is taken to mean that the
situation is governed by the side
whose turn it is to play the ap
proach shot. It reads as though it
were the side which is approach
ing that has tin- sole right of the
matter, and that is how a good
many golfers interpret it. The sit
uation would bu clarified if the rule
read: “When a player is approach
ing the hole cither side is entitled to
have the flag stick removed."
Another Instance had to do With the
case of the two players in n match
r^ent. One golfer struck the hall
ii'nm within 20 yards of the hole with
the flag stick In Its appointed place,
hit tlie stick, and evoked a discus
sion as to his penalty. There is. of
course, no penalty in a match, be
rausn the opponent can. if he so
wishes, have the pin removed before
| the player strikes the ball. In medal
play the penalty is Iwo strokes.

New York, Fell. 2 1—Frank Gra
ham, a well-known baseball writer,
says that the most interesting piece
or news that developed during the
conclave of the National League club
owners, aside from that which had to
do with the adoption of Christy Mat
hewson’s anti-bonus measure, was to
the effect that Branch Hickey has
obtained the stock formerly held by
W. c. Anderson, and now is the sec
ond largest stockholder In the S'
Louis club, Sam Breadon Is presi
dent. being l he largest.
Rickey’s rise (o power in baseball
proves that a hall player has a future
in the game, even though he be as
poor as player as Rickey, who, was a
member of the Yankees some years
ago. Other players have been suc
cessful In the business nr executive
branches of baseball after their use
fulness on the field had passed, but
It is doubtful whether sny of these
vii <|dite as lacking in skill an the

Lincoln Resents
Action Taken bv
mi
! State Leaguers
Moon Declares Capital City
Will Be Represented in the
Western Circuit This
Season.
INOULN. Neb.. F-b,
23. — Considerable
resentment wa« e
pleased her** tods'
over the action of
the directors of
the Nebraska Sta'e
league meeting m
Omaha Friday, who
refused to transfer
the J.incoln territory from the eta *
circuit to the Western league Th s
action nullifies the work of t’.«
“hustling'’ committee h“re who
raise*! $20,000 in subscription fur th«
purchase of the I.incoln State leag>,s
ball park in order to give the Western
1*ague a park.
C. N. Moon, one of tlie owners of
the state league franchise, who
attend d the meeting in Omaha,
said today:
toucan say for me llial IjihRl
will hs in the Western league thi^W^kl
season.”
Asked how he hoped to bring ti !
about, in view of the etate l*»euc i |
action, he said that there ware some
technicalities of which the local <1
era might avail themaelve*.
One plan by which they bop* •..
effect the transfer of the Hioux 1 .*>■
franchise of the Western league to
Lincoln, he said, i.e by waiting until
the opening of the state league .»<
son.
There will not be any attempt to
promote state league baseball here
this year.” Moon declared. "There
Hnuld be no support for such an
undertaking.’’
If the stale league does not oc
cupy Lincoln by the. opening uf
their season, the territory becomes
open, and the Western league con Id
transfer the Sioux City train hi«e
here.
Moon explained that the action of
the state K-sruers was due to the fa> t
that they hoped to force either the
Lincoln club or the Western league
to pay the atipulated *2,500 for the
surrender of baeebatl territory ?r< ti.
one league to another.
