Again, The Cow Wins
By MEA ALLAN
COLDEN MILLER, Grand National winner in 1934, five times winner of he Cheltenham Gold Cup, has retired from bublic life.
But not from racing. Recently I saw him an a neck-and-neck race with a cow. And no cow, Won,

But retirement doesn't sult the Miller.
In the old where he is put to laze about is a grook. And the Miller won't laze. He jumps the
rook. Also, he gallops round the deld with his two companions, Red tufus and Insurance, both famous teeplechasers in their time.

A NEW GOLF HAZARD
AT BRIGHTON
Brighton, Aug. 18.
The problem of what should be done when a player's ball ends in the coat pocket of a spectator had to be solved during a £1,000 golf tournament at Brighton.
The spectator was sitting on the back at the first green when a ball played by E. S. Jones hit him in the chest and dropped into his pocket.
After some discussion as to the correct procedure the spectator was asked to drop the ball, and Jones played on with- out incurring any penalty,
Actually the ball should have been dropped by the player, without penalty.-United Press.
