OFFICIAL RULINGS CLASSIFIED
t atted Mates Golf Aeaoelatloa Makes
Coanollatloa of Decisions by St.
Andrews' Committee for
la of Member.
WASHINGTON, April 11. The investiga
tion of the navy yards at Charleston, Port
Royal, Mare Island, Portsmouth, N. H.;
New Orleans and Key, West by a commis
sion appointed by the president with a view
to their abandonment, wa urged by Rep
resentative Lilley of Connecticut before the
house today. Mr. Lilley offered a Joint
resolution providing for tha appointment
of this commlaslon and for Improvement
In other yarda, so a to eliminate the
wast of public money In tho maintenance
of the same."
Mr. Lilley quoted from reports made by
board of officer and former secretaries
of the navy a far bark as 1KS5, to show
that tho condition of the navy yards then
was open to severe criticism, and that the
fact that the reorganization of the Navy
department Itself was desirable. If not
absolutely necessary.
The navy yards mentioned in his reso
lution were taken up separately and dis
cussed by Mr. Lilley. The Mars Island
yard, he said, has coat $1,175,000, "but the
secretary of the navy states that thla dry
dock will not permit the. docking of a bat
tleship." And not only is this true, but
battleship cannot get to the yard. Al
though Rear Admiral Endicott. then chief
of the bureau of yard and docks, ten
year ago practically recommended the
abandonment of this yard, since that time
1728,866 ha been spent in dredging alone
and 15,124,712 haa been appropriated and
pent on the yard.
Espenae at Key West.
""Key West I a place," said Mr. Lilley,
that haa cost us (1,238.031 It Is six miles
from the strait and the low water depth
in It channel la twenty-six feet, and $101,000
ha been spent there for dredging. At
thla yard In Uie fiscal year ending In 1907.
$94. SIS wa expended, for labor, and the
value of their total product was but $7,126.
Portsmouth, N. H., or Klttery, Me., Is
plant that has cost us over $10,000,000."
Continuing, Mr. Lilley said that last sum
mer when ha visited the Portsmouth (N.
H.) navy yard with the other members of
the house committee on naval affairs
aboard th Dolphin, the captain of th ves
sel told him It wa not safe to take even
so small a craft as the Dolphin up to the
yard, because of tha dangera of the swift
current and narrow channel. The ex
pensive dock ha never docked a first-class
battleship, he added, and yet $344,900 more
waa appropriated for thl plac the last
session of congress.
Concerning tha navy yard at New Or
leans, Mr. Lilley said In 1907 $78,274 waa
pent by tha government for labor and the
total product waa $1,046,
But th point that a business man
would fall to comprehend," he continued.
'I that $10,000 wa appropriated by both
session of th last congress for new con
struction at New Orleans, for what ad
vantage to tha United States navy God
only know."
Mlat of Money la Circulation.
Charlestown, he said, ha but twenty-
five feet of water in It channel, yet
congress ha appropriated k $1,198,984 to
build there a magnificent dry dock. "Not
only I th channel too ahallow, but there
1 no berthing room for vessels or ship
Of any description to dock there. The
total establishment ha cost $3,384.90) and
th dredging $108,000. At th last session
of congress $287,000 mors wa appropriated
for thla yard at Charleston.
" Th naval station at Port Loyal," con
tinued Mr. Lilley, "wa removed to
Charlestown In 19001303, but a lata a
1SW7. $14,724 waa (pent her for labor and
although abandoned these expenditures
will go on to th end of time unless the
property Is sold, given away or blown up."
Mr. Lilley crtllctsed congress for not
establishing a naval training school at
Annapolis and moving the academy sev
enty miles below Annapolis, thus saving
the $10,000,000 that la going to the Great
Lake. Annapolis, he said, for which con
gress has seen fit to appropriate auras
that will reach a total of $10,000,000 Is
sunk In th mud. "Battleship cannot
reach th academy and the United State
coaat and geodetic survey reporta ahow
that th upper Chesapeake la fast filling
up."
Teat of the Resolution.
Mr. Ijlley's resolution read aa follows:
Whereas. Aa there haa been gro?s ex
travagance and lamentable misappropria
tion vt public funds to the extent of more

Wrestling for Foot Ball Men.
IOWA CITY, Ia., April 11. (Speclal.)
Coach Catlln will Install a new method of
early season training for his gridiron
heroes next fall. He will have them In
structed fn wrestling under Schroeder of
the Iowa gymnasium. Catlin believes this
to be the best form of exercise that can
be given for this purpose. The men will
try the trick of the game on each other,
which la expected to put life Into the work.
This, combined with th new gam of
"universal foot ball," which will be used
to perfect the men in handling the ball in
fust work, as well as In passing and kick
ing, will make a comblnatlou entirely new,
and the result w;':l be watched w'th inter
est throughout th stale.
TVIth the object of bringing it interpreta
tions of the rule up to date the United
States Golf association committee haa Is
sued In a pamphlet for distribution to all
membership clubs the queries answered by
the rule committee of Bt. Andrew since
tho last revision of the rules In 190S. The
question and answer represent the work
of the rule committee sine May of that
year and will be of use to American clubs
in solving the point always cropping up
on similar lines. Th new Issue of the rule
1 expected In May, but It will not de
crease the vaua of these queries and solu
tions, for they Illustrate tha application
of th code.
Borne of the decision do not chime at
the first glance with American customs.
For Instance, a player In a medal com
petition who returns g. card on which the
handicap I wrongly subtracted 1 not dis
qualified. It I the duty of tho secretary,
not of the competitor, to add up the score.
On similar lines Is a decision that so long
as the score for each hole Is correctly
marked the player la not disqualified or
otherwise penalized, whether his card is
correctly or Incorrectly added up or not
added up at all. The point that the proper
stroke for each hole must be set down
Is followed up In many decision.
Penalty Strokes Mnst Show.
Tho neglect to mark a penalty stroke for
any reason or to be In doubt a to whether
such stroke wa put down la a frequent
cause lor disqualification. There la no
value to a card when there Is any doubt
that the stroke for each hole are not
properly counted. It Is not disqualification
to make a fresh copy of a card and hand
It In, the original being destroyed and the
copy properly attested.
A recent case Is of Interest while the
courses are soft In the spring. At an
English course In playing out of mud the
ball adhered to tho face of the club. Th
committee said there was no rule on thl
subject, but expressed the opinion that the
player should have shaken the ball off the
club without penalty at the spot where the
Incident occurred.
Tho winner of the hole muat always drive
off first, for the "honor" cannot be
evaded. The decision Is on a question from
Glasgow stating that In a tie between A
and B tho former won th fifteenth hole.
The sixteenth Is a difficult pitch, and A.
having the "honor," Insisted on B playing
first. The committee ruled, "Certainly
not,"
There has been many an argument over
a question from Nottinghamshire asking if
there was a penalty for touching the sand
In a bunker with the shaft end of a club,
the player's ball being In the haxard. It
la defined as an Instance of no penalty,
provided always that nothing haa been done
which might bo construed a an Intention
of doing anything to Improve the He of the
ball or assist In subsequent play.
Posted Allowance Stand.
In a stroke handicap the allowance posted
by the secreary opposite a player' name
must stand, even though he Inadvertently
posts a wrong one, and not that fixed by the
committee. If discovered before the player
starts the secretary may correct the
blunder,- but not after he has driven off.
At match play the difference la that it Is
up to he player to ascertain his correct
handicap before starting a match. Other
wise an opponent cannot be penalised for
winning through giving shorter odds thsn
the club's ratings would have fixed between
the two contestant.
The Garden City Golf club always print
on Its program that stlmlea must b
played, but at other tournaments It Is some
times held that It 1 optional to do so. The
rules committee In an answer to tho Royal
Melbourne Golf club takes a decided stand
for the stlmie. The query stated that
A and B were finalists In a tournament and
refused to play stlmles. The answer was
that as stlmlea are a recognized part of
tha game of golf It I not permissible for
player In a tournament to refuse to play
thorn. Then categorically tho committee
made these ruling:
Could the two agree between themselves
that the ball nearest the hoi be played
first? "No." Doe any rule oblige them
to play atlmie? 'tRule 6, taken along with
rule 16. The penalty la disqualification."
Is a player allowed to lift hi ball with the.
concent of hi adversary to avoid a stlmleT
"No." Ha rule 8, with the penalty of on
stroke for moving the ball, anything to do
with a person lifting hi ball to avoid a
tlmy? "No."
Line of the Pat.
Thl 1 th text of the much discussed
verdict by the St- Andrews committee that
the line of the put extend beyond the hole.
Selkirk Golf Club In rule 19 of the rules
of golf It Is said: "The line of the put may
be pointed out, etc., but the person during ao
must not touch the grouna. uoe tins
refer to the ground between the ball and
the hole only, or does It also refer to tha
ground lying beyond the hole, I, e.. on tho
far side if the hole from where the ball
Is lying? A and B were partners In a
foursome against C and D. When A was
about to play his put his partner. B, stand
ing behind th nola, inaicaiea tne line ne
should tttke, and In doing so he rested the
top of his' club on the ground two yards
behind the hole, and not on the green be
tween the ball and the hole. To reach the
snot where the club rested the ball would
have needed to pfcas the hole and go two
vardN beyond It. C. and D claimed th hole.
Where they entitled to ao so: Answer
C and D were right.
To take shelter during a strox competi
tion, even though no pair comes up to pas,
I disqualification. But, If through conges
tion at a tee a pair take shelter while
awaiting their turn It I not disqualifica
tion. Or thry may go into tha club house
for refreshments, or drink at a ginger beer
booth without penalty If they do not lose
their turn and so embarrass th other
plsyers.
Here I an Instance of a Bromley player
being In luck. A ball Is hit from th te
Into a ditch full of running water. Thl
ditch extends right down one aid of the
course toward the hole that ta being played
for. From the point where It entered th
water the ball I carried down twenty or
thirty yard in the direction of the hole
and then come to rest against tome twigs
which He across the ditch.
It waa ruled that the player was entitled
to play the ball from where It lay, but th
committee thought that a local rule should
be framed under which the ball should be
dropped near the spot where It entered the
hasard. Under all circumstances unless
there Is a local rule the ball must be
played from the He or the hole be lost,
except on ground under repair; but a ball
cannot be lifted from a' bunker that is
being repaired.
Rnle of Medal I'Iny.
An answer to the Clevedon Golf club re
veals a different reading of medal play,
rule 3, from the American conception. The
question was:
In a stroke competition a player, before
starting and while waiting for his partner
to get ready, put down several Palls on the
green nearest the club house and putted at
the hole. Oblection was taken that he was
disqualified under rule 3 governing stroke
competitions. The player objected to there
upon objected to the competition altogether
on tne ground that new holes had not been
made. These facts being admitted. (1 Is the
player disqualified? Ci Should his objection
that new holes had not been made be up
held? 1
As new hole were not made the competi
tor, according to the committee, was not
disqualified. In this country It Is taken
for granted that new holes are made for a
medal play competition, and none would
offer such an excuse if caught in the act.
The American Idea does not center on hole-
Ing out, but Instead Is that the greens must
be avoided that a private knowledge be not
acquired regarding the texture of the turf
and whether fast or slow.
The rule after the first clause bears out
this construction. "New holes shall be
made for stroke competitions, and there
after before starting no competitor shall
play on any of the putting greens, nor shall
he Intentionally play at any of the hole
nor onto any of tho putting greens under
penalty of disqualification. The American
interpretation adds: "Competitors must al
ways assume that new holes have been
made. Practice stroke may be played
through the green and In hazards." St.
Andrews mostly regards the first clause
and the Americans the spirit of the entire
rule.
