Bogey Revision Anomalies

SURREY'S MOVE FOR UNIFORMITY

(Special Air-Mali Service)

London, Aug. 9.

In so big an undertaking as a ca vision of the standard scratch geöres of golf courses throughout the coun try anomalies have arisen, especi- ally in the matter of handicapping writes George Greenwood. Some clubs having reduced the bogey by a couple of strokes, have increased the handicaps of members by the same number..

Other clubs have reduced the borey, and left the handicaps as they were.

In this way confusion, misunder standings," and hickerings have arisen. Here, is a case in point. Two friends, formerly of the same handicap, who met on level termus, and had some wonderfully close fights, do not play together because one has now to give the other two strokes.

An Invidious Position.

Of the more important London | ebut the case of Sunningdale in this connection is interesting. Sunningdale, ** I am informed. added two strokes to the handicaps of all their members indiscrimin ately. The result was that players who also happened to be members of other clubs which had not raised handicaps found themselves in eufious, and sometimes, invidious position.

For instance, the new two handi- eap men at Sunningdale would still be scratch at Royal Mid-Surrey,

Because of these anomalies," the Surrey Golf Union has recently issued n letter to clubs in the county in which it is stated:

While a handicap given to a mem her of a club is primarily intended for use in the club, it will be endily agreed that, in practice, a handicap so given is also used for player

MACKEY other purposes. When a

London, August 9-The proudest American girl will leare Britain for Now York in a few days.

HOBBS MAKES

196TH CENTURY

Masterly Innings

BRILLIANT BATTING BY

P. G. H. FENDER

(Special Air-Mail Service)

(By P. F. Warner)

London, August 9. Another scorching hot day at the Oval, and another big crowd, writes" Mr. P. F. Warner. Just under 12,000 saw J. B. Hobbs make the 198th century of his career.

Going th first. Hobbs was fifth out caught at- mild-off from a skler at 238, having batted for three hours and three-quarters without a chance. It is superfluous to "praise Hobbs.

Ever since 1905 he has been de- lighting us with his genius, and, to- day, at the age of fifty, he makes his centuries, if not so brilliantly as in the days of his youth, still with an easy grace of style and much of the old mastery-over every type of bowling.

Strokes as Sound as Ever.

On the on-side in forcing the ball past mid-on: in turning it to fine leg. and, in hocking, he is. apparently, as good as ever,, and if he does not now cut square and off-drive as was his habit in his prime. every now and again one sees a beautiful wristy latd cut and an off-drive. not, perhaps, of the old power and timing, but stili worth four runs: wi

Yesterday he was occasionally knocked about by some bumping. deliveries of Voce, but he stood up to it well, and when he was out the Oval crowd gave their idol a wonderful reception.

Surrey had begun very badly. losing Sandham, Squires, and Bar- ling--all caught in the short-leg area, two of them by Carr, but Gregory came to the rescue, help- ing to put on 117 runs for the fourth wicket before he, too, was neatly caught low down at short- leg. by Harris.

A Valuable All-rounder.

Gregory is a strong player on the on-side and also possesses a good square-cut. His magnificent field- ing and steady slow bowling make him a valuable member of any team. He was succeeded by Mc- Murray, who is not blessed with many inches, but is a very correct and cool player.

He may conceivably. develop into something of a W. G. Quaife, who, If a slow scorer, was good enough to play for England, and whose style, and movement of his feet were held up as a model to the young cricketer. At present McMurray is lacking in strokes, but his bat is very straight and his defence good. On one occasion he jumped out to S. Staples and brought off a perfect on-drive.

He was run out by yards as re- sult of a complete misunderstand-

On Its Last Legs?

Bangkok, Aug. 19.-In his annual review of the past racing season a well-known Bangkok writer shows how the economic depression" con- tinues its effect upon the sport. In 1998-20 prize money offered by the two clubs totalled the respectable figure of over Tos, 300,000; in 1929-30 it rose to the high water mark of Tea. 337,350 and 1932-33 it had shrunk to under will be less next season.
