The absence of the familiar automobile, so plentiful In other Argentine dtles, attracted toe writers attention. Possibly today the carriages and line steeds are being relegated to the past but that Idea does not appear to be la keeping with the country, for the average Argentine gentleman prides himself on his fine horse The new rule of the Western Golf association, abolishing stymies, was tried and found wanting at the Western amateur championship at Midlothian, and the rule was chunged by the board of directors before the final rounds, In which Francis Ouluict won the title from Kenuelh I. Edwards of Chicago by the narrow margin of 1 up lu 30 holes. The rule, as announced several weeks ago, required that the neurer ball be played first when both balls were ou toe green thus avoiding stymies. The plan worked well In medal play, as there was no lifting of the neurer ball, and nn average of 15 mine utes time was taken off an round without any detriment to toe players, since they were contesting the field instead of one man. When the match play started, however, the contestants were loud in their clamor for a change in the rule and President Churlea F. Thompson, agreeing with the players, had a new one drafted. The new one still abolishes stymies, whether due to the faulty play of the owner of the stymied bull, or to the accidental position of Ills opponent's ball, hut requires the ball further from the hole to be played first, unless a stymie exists. In that cuse, the nearer bull Is to be played first or lifted, at the option of Its owner.

It frequently happens, however, that Edwards, with his poor putting ou the first nine, would have had to play three putts In a row, while Ouhnet stood by and determined just whut he had to do and how to do It That was because Edwards was frequently nearer the flag on his approaches, but could not putt dead, or get down from Ills first attempt As the pluy went, It could have done Edwards no harm to play the nearer ball first, for he took 22 putts on the first nine, when only 15 were indicated by Ills long game and approaches, which wpre In general bet- ter than Oulmet's.
