Different Attitudes Towards the Rules

[By Harry Vandon] There can be no doubt that a con- siderable difference exlats in the interpretation which American and British golfers place upon certalu of the rules. It is just as em- phatic as the breach which has arisen between the governing bodies of the two countries concerning the standard ball, steel-shafted clubs, and one or two other matters,

Extending the Licence

It is all fearful and wonderful. Very likely the American profes- sionals regard the old-fashioned rules of golf pretty much as wè contemplate the monumental re- strictions set up by D.O.R.A. and find a boyish delight in ignoring them when their violation seems to cause no particular harm.

A Ruling Violated Regarding the matter of Lou Mau, who was suspended for à month on January 18 for an irre gularity in a First Division game, it was urged that he had violat- ed the ruling of the Association by playing in the Hong Kong Chinese versus Shanghai Chinese match,

Mr. Lee stated that in his opinion the Association were at fault, and it was time they co- operated with the Chinese Federa- tion, which, he said, was the gov erning body for all Chinese sports, including the match in question. Ocially the Federation did not recognise the Association, but if co-operation was suggested, he on- ticipated an immediate response.

Mr. Lee continued that it was Impossible for the Association to be the governing body over all football in the Colony.

latter is the rule which has gripped the public conscience at golf.

Still, in the case mentioned, there

was no problem of finding the ball, which stood up for anybody to see. Moreover, Hagen went on solemnly moving back the long grass until he felt eatialed with the situation. It was a simple manifestation of an American professional's mlainter- pretation of the law.
