The Handicap Golfer CANTON GIRLS' FIRST

How Club Medal Cards Are Spoiled

By CHARLES WHITCOMBE

A golfer who took up the game comparatively late in life, and, after two years, still has the limit handicap of 24, is bitterly dis appointed that, as he says, he has never been able to beat 100, "I can play most of the shots as well as I can expect," he declares, "but I always have two or three dreadful holes in a round."

The other day I went out with him, and he played extremely well in fact, he reached the turn in 44. "You are going to break 100 this time," I said, and I told him his score. When I had con- vinced him of its accuracy he proceeded to hit his next drive hard on the top the first he had missed- took three shots in a bunker, and holed out in 10. To the next(two holes he took 6 and 8. it was a case of being frightened by his own success.

Golf is never simply a matter of hitting the ball; and in a medal competition, In particular, both thought and judgment must be exercised. Handicap players are very much inclined to forget that they are expected to make mistakes -ptherwise they would not be given a handicap and when these mistakes occur they are too – keen and ambitious to put them right without suffering any penalty. They are not prepared to accept a loss.

A WHOLE WEEK'S NEWSPAPERS IN ONE.

Sensational evidence featured the trial of Cheng Kwok-yau on a charge of procuring the murder of George Fung, at Village Road, at the Criminal Sessions of the Supreme Court before the Chief Justice, Sir Joseph Kemp, K.C. Leading Counsel are engaged in the case, which is at- tracting great interest. This has been evidenced by the crowds that have attended the hearing daily. Many Euro peans were included among the spectators: Edward Zimmern, one of the principal witnesses for the Crown,. underwent a gruelling cross-examination by Mr. Jenkin, K.C., as did his associate Sydney Christie. A pardon, ap- plied for by the Crown, at the conclusion of Zimmern's evidence was refused by the Chief Justice, who ruled that the application should have been made.before the testimony, was given. "A conditional pardon was granted the witness Christie. "Breezes between Counsel were intermittent during the proceedings, which are likely to continue for another week The Crown reached the first branch of their case on August 17, when they called three solicitors, Messrs. M. W. Lo, E. Davidson, and C. Y. Kwan, as witnesses. The trial is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Mr. Sun Fo, former President of the Executive Yuen, in an interesting interview, bluntly asserted that Mr. Wang Ching-wel, whose recent resignation from the Presidency of the Executive Yuen caused the present political turmoil, although he was supposed to be in a position of authority, was, in fact, governed in all his acts by the power of the Military Party. China, he says, is controlled by the Mili tarists. The interview is published in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

Mr. Ma Hel-wan, head of the Szechuen Arsenal, who was arrested in Canton on August 8, shortly after he had :: ordered 16 new aircraft in Hong Kong, was released on August 11, and immediately proceeded to Hong Kong. He was held, he explains, on suspicion of being a Communist agent.w
