[BY A SPECIAL "CORRESPONDENT OF THE

"OBSERVER."} LONDON

Out of an apparently trifling incident in an obscure competition there has arisen a cause célèbre that is convulsing the golfing world. The undisputed facts of the case are briefly these: At a certain hole A hit a ball into the rough, and a search was made by the player and his partner and the two raddies. As the ball was not found after a minute or so, A

After playing one shot with the second ball the first was found before the stipulated five minutes search had elapsed, whereupon A picked up the second ball and continued play with the first. He won the competition, but a protest wax lodged on the grounds that A had infringed certain laws govern ing procedure in the case of a lost ball. It was contended :—

1.-That A abandoned the ball before searching for the full five minutes.

2-That he did not play another ball at once as papvided in the rules. 3-That, having abandoned the ball, the second became the ball in play, and he should have continued with it.

4.-That, as he had two balls,In play at the same time," he was autogatically disqualified.
