... Maureen Ruttle Makes a Big Impression ONE often hears about women who hit a golf ball like a man, but when you come to see them play you know that your informant, if he has seen the players in action, has judged them by his own game or by comparing them with a male player who in the same game possibly has been pressing in order not to be out driven by a woman. Last week I played with a ...

Trap nests are used as shown in the photograph. When a hen enters the laying nest a catch is released. The door drops down and so imprisons the hen.

... CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. Percy Green, of Coleshill, Birmingham, on his slogan: More waste means less waist. Fines and costs imposed on farmers who have not complied with the Ministry's orders amount to £1,621 8s. 9d. There were 49 prosecutions. In Germany it would have meant 49 executions.

I HAVE seen quite a large number of really memorable golf shots in my time, and had quite a number played against me, but one that stands out very clearly was that Archie Compston played in the Daily Mail £2,000 professional competition in 1939. I do not remember this shot because it was skilfully played, but because I consider it was lucky, daring in conception if you like, but frightfully ...

... Records of French-bred Winners-- Is an Enquiry Necessary? Plea for Two-day N.H. Fixtures. LORD ROSEBERY, in his Presidential address to members of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association, rightly stressed the fact that the season's Derby winner, Pont l'Eveque, was British bred.
