The Idea 'apparently is to increase the value of accurate putting, especially in regard to the long approach putt, and to obvlaté as far as possible the all too fre quent fluke in the short game.

This short course championship is to be held on May 23, 24, and changed into them, returned, and 25, and invitations to take part have been sent to the leading pro-match.

Fielding the same. teams who had won through the semi-final stage, the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and The 2nd Bn. Loyal Regt. met in the final of the Army Hockey Cup tournament. The trophy went to the Shropshires after a stubbornly-contested, gruel- ling game, in which they scored the only goal.

It was during the first twenty minutes, when the Shropshires set. up a tremendous attack, that the Loyals were shaken, and Lt. V. W. Rees went through to hit the all- important goal.

In the second half, the Loyals, who were undoubtedly the fresher team, fought back tenaciously.
