What i the difference hetween the way the British and the United States amateur golf championships are played?—S. W. B A. The essential difference is’that there s no qualifying round at medal play in the British amateur, and that the matches prior to the finals are at 18 holes. In England the entrants are paired, whatever the number of them, and proceed at once to play 18-hole elimination matches until there are but two players left, who then play the ‘finals at 36 holes. ‘The United States tournament is regarded by NOme experts a8 a severer test, bhe cause the amateurs must show their akill at medal as well as at match play.

Some lime ago Mayor Walker of | New York deciured in a speech that | he regarded ihe night clubs of that |city, which keep open until nearly |dawn, an a public nuisance, and that he proposed soon to move to curtall ! the hours within which they might |entertain their guests. On Monday | the commissivner of police, acting, it would seem, under orders of the mayor, issued a fial 1o these establishments | that they must close thelr doors at | two s, Yeaterduy the proprietors |and managers of the cabarets and night clubs met and adopted resolu- tions 10 the effect that the police order {is an intringement of liberties and nvolves an impalrment of contract, inasmuch as they have hired musi cians and entertainers on the baais of pertormancea until three o'clack and later, and that to be forced to close down at two o'clock would eause them to lose money. They have, how- evei, resolved not 1o appeal to the e¢ourta, but 1o ask for a' reconsidera- tion. For the present the two o'clock | curfew order stands. |1t weuld seem i | uch difficulty if the money paid into’ 1rope by American tourists could be nystematically'applied to that P SHOOTING STARS.

He was twice Governor of lowa and sent to the United States Senate for three full terms, He might have renounced a fourth term and left the political arena laurel-crowned, with a defeat- less record, for he was 76 years old laat February and long past the time when men .ordinarily 1ay down the hectic burdens of public service. But there's a good deal of the prima donna in the average politician. He adoren the limelight. He can seldom resist the lure of Washington. Voluntary retirement in repugnant to his soul. He comes to look upon place and power as a crowned-head views his royal estate. He seldom quits when the quitting is good. Albert Baird Cummina is of that ilk. Now, he joins that distinguished company of sena- torial colleagues who went up againat the electoral buzz-saw once too often -—Bursum, Calder, France, Kellogg, McCormick, Krelinghuysen, McCum- ber, McKiniey, New, Poindexter, Ster- ling, Townsend, Pepper and Stanfield, to catalogue them in the order Pat Harrison ironically reeled them off in his jeremiad over G.
