But retirement doesn't suit the Miller.

A NEW GOLF HAZARD

AT BRIGHTON

Brighton, Aug. 18.

The problem of what should be done when a player's ball ends in the cont pocket of a spectator had to be solved during a £1,000 golf tournament at Brighton,

The spectator was sitting on the back at the first green when a ball played by E. S. Jones hit him in the chest and dropped into his pocket.

After some discussion as to the correct procedure the spectator was asked to drop the ball, and Jones played on with- out incurring any penalty,

Actually the ball should have been dropped by the player, without penalty.-United Preas.
