Around The Courses

Variations In Scoring And Handicaps

Especially Applicable To Three- And Four-ball Games

Cricket "Atmosphere"

(By "Birdio").

SOME LITTLE WHILE BACK this column was devoted to rules and conditions of play in three and four- ball matches. These games are generally the most played, especially on nine-hole, courses, where there is most likely to be congestion, and because of this it has been suggested that some information on the various methods of scoring would be of interest.

Commonest of all in the "helo

· and aggregate" system. That

is, the winner of the hole scores "Y" Swimming Meeting

one or two points as decided upon, and there is a further point for the aggregate. This, of course, only applies to four balls, and is a team game.

For three-balls, the best system I've yet come across is the "splitting of sixes," By this is meant that for ench hole there are six points-four for the winner and two for the second best.

If two players halve for first each takes three points, the other receiv ing just nothing. If second place is halved, then caeli takes one point, the first having his four as

Stiff Test For St Leger

Candidate

LONDON, Aug. 12 (Rou ter). Lord Roseberry's Ptolemy, which is considered to have a good outsider's chance in the St Leger, will have a stiff test when it participates in the historic "Silver Boll," one of Eng- land's oldest turf, events, at Lanark next Saturday.

The "Silver Bell", is said to have been started by William the Lion of Scotland over 70 years ago, and it has been included in all the Lanark The European Y.M.C.A. Swimming programmes ever since.

I'VE been told that a recent edition of "Golfing" contains an article on scoring as per cricket. That is, the bataman is the only one who can chalk up points.

It works out thus:-

SYSTEM of handicapping that can be applied to singles, three ur four-balls is that of yardago. Bisques and strokes are the accepted forms of handicap.

But his allowance is now only 4 feet, and this may be used over the later holes.

Suppose A, B and C (or even D) is the decided order of "batting." This can be worked out by flipping a coin. Then A is the man at bat. B, C and D are just in the side, and their turn will come later. Now suppose A holes out the first hole in 4 as docs either of the other three, then there is no score, but A is still "batting"

Had he holed out in 3 against the others' 4's or 6a, A would DOUBTLESS there are many
