CUP-TIE FEVER LATEST RESULTS

Since the Introduction of profesi slonalism in France within the last few years, football grounds have rapidly grown too small for the crowd, especially on cup-tle day's.

The French Cup competition is organised on the same lines as the English competition, from which it was copled. Now at every cup tie hundreds of spectators have to be turned away and at the recent match between Rouen and Lille, played on the ground of the Park des Princes, Paris, police had to hold hands to keep the crowd in line at the ticket Secretary.ofces.

GOLFUNION'S. SUGGESTION

We have been hearing a great deal lately about speedlig up golf. Cyril Tolley set the ball rolling with his suggestion that a limit should be put on the time allowed for the playing of each shot. But it has been left to the English Golf Union to come forward with a concrete suggestion for speeding up play in a champlas- ship.

They are to try out a scheme in which, instead of two players going off together for a medal round three will be drawn and play together..

A TRIAL IN DEVON The move is to be given a trial at the English county championship, to be played over the links of the Saunton Club, in Devon, on the Satur- day preceding the English close championship, which starts on April

20.

At least 20 counties will be repre- sented each by four ployera. As each player has to piny 30 holes in one day it stands to reason that the Eng- lish Golf Union are making a good move In looking for a method of speeding up the play,

| WHERE - Delays miGHT OCCUR

It is as well to remember, however, that by increasing the number of

players going out together there are more opportunities for delays and complications to occur. These in- portant rules regarding a ball striking another player's ball on the putting strokes, wil have to be more care green, for which the penalty is two fully watched. And the great danger of playing a wrong ball is also in- creased. Fortunately, most players In a championship take special pre-

cautions to know their own ball. 1 always mark mine with a small cross, which is easily made with the thumbi nail and cannot be obliterated says a London correspondent,

GET ON WITH THE PUTTING

There might also be some delay when players are putting. With three players there is bound to be a lot more Bfting of the ball on the green to give others a clear no to the hole.

I think the E.G.U. might go a step farther in their move to speed up the game and suggest that players who have putted dead should go on and hole cut without waiting for players farther from the hole to puit up, Then there would eless necessity for lifting and replacing balls, which always Avastes a certain amount of time,
