GOLFERS EXPELLED
FAKED SCORE CARDS ■ (United Service) Reed. 1.10 p.m. LONDON, Sunday. A sensation has been caused in London golf circles owing to the compulsory resignation of two members of a leading club, who allegedly returned faked score cards. The “Weekly Dispatch” says that they usually played together in competitions, one or the other often winning, and arousing doubts, because it was remarked that they could not produce the same form in private matches. Suspicions were conveyed to the committee which had the men secretly watched in a recent competition, in which one returned the winning score which the watchers declared was not the actual record of strokes played. It also reported that one of the men improved the lie of his ball. The club captain interviewed them privately and compelled their resignations.
A bloodhound belonging to the West Sussex police played an active part in the arrest of a man who was charged at Worthing Police Corn- with burglariously entering a house at Goring. When the bloodhound was taken to the spot, he picked out the trail at once and led the police to an isolated spot on the sea beach, where the prisoner was found.
