A TURKISH CASE.
Same fifty years ago the judicial and maritimne world was roused to an excitement got usual in that tradition-bound milieu by a case which was first tried at the. Central Criminal Court and later honour ed with a "full-dress trial by the Court for Crown Cases Reserved, composed of thirteen of the greatest judges in the land. This was the famous Franconia' case. Keyn, the commander of a German ship, bad bern indicted for manslaughter due to alleged negligence, which had led to his vessel, the Franconia, The announcement that a luminenaning into and sinking a British
GOLF BY NIGHT.
SAVE US FROM THE

ENTHUSIAST!
—
our paint has been discovered for
golf balls, and that all-night golf is upon us is not likely to raise any very great enthusiasm among golfers. To play the game with any satisfaction one needs to see much more than just the ball and the flight of the ball. The type of golf which consists mainly of finding balls which might have been lost is not exhilarating.
Even so enthusiasts, unless their zeal has very far outrun their nbility, need not wait for the arrival of luminous golf balls if they wish to play through the night. It has already been done many times, and players have been able to produce extremely good figures.
In one quite authentic case, for instance, two golfers played four holes at midnight. They did not have to spend any time searching for balls, though they were using quite normal balls without any such refinements as luminous paint, and the combined scores of the two play ers totalled up to the rather sur prising figure of one under par.
This seems to show that if a player is on his game he can "feel" the direction of his shot almost as easily as he can see it by daylight. However, there is more in golf than the mere getting of figures, and golf at night is not likely to become popular until not only the ball but the whole course is fully lighted.
No doubt this time will come, but until it does, the evening will re- main sacred to the post mortem, dear to some golfers as the round itself and far more successful.

LANCASHIRE'S PLAN FUT · OFF, UNTIL APRIL
LONDON, November 13th: The proposal of the Lancashire County Cricket Club that points for a fret innings lead in championship. matches should be abolished and that a
scheme should be evolved for deciding the method of scoring in the county championship. came before the Advisory County" Cricket Committee at Lord's,
DOW
After considerable discussion. Lan- chahire agreed to withdraw the motion for the present on the under standing that in the meantime the counties which play a smaller num- ber of matches should endeavour to increase the number.
The Daily Express understands that Lancashire's proposal is by no means abandoned, and that it will be brought up again next April if in the interval the counties which play fewer matches have not added to the list.
ال
Sir Edwin Stockton, the presidint
of the Lancashire Club, who was present at the meeting at Lord's, shall wait to see what is done before. made the following statement: 1 I bring the matter up again at the meeting in the early spring.'
....
Hours Of Play.
New hours of play will be in force next senson if the M.C.C. confirm the recommendations of the Au- visory County Cricket Committee.

Somerset placed a proposal be.. fare the meeting that the hours pley in county championship matches be as follows:
position maintained on the part of the Crown was, that inasmuch as at the time of collision both ves-of erls were within the distance of three miles from the English shore, the offence was committed within the realm of England, and triable by the English Court.

First day: 11.30 to 6.30. Second day: 11.50 to 6.30, Third day: 11.30 to 6, with an extra half-hour on the third day on the demand of either side for the purpose of securing a definite result or, in the event of points being awarded for a lead on the an uncompleted match, for the purpose of securing a first innings decision,
This was carried, and the counties also agreed to the experiment of covering the wicket being continued for another seas00,
It was held by seven of the judges against six that the Central Criminal Court had no jurisdic-first innings in tion to try offences by foreigners on board foreign ships, whether within or without the limit of three miles from the shores of England. It followed from this that the com- inander of a German vessel on the high sea was not liable to answer for nets committed upon it to any jurisdiction but that of the country to which it belonged, in accordance with the taverendly accepted tion that a ship on the high sea is a part of the territorial area of the country of its flag.
