LONDON (UP) The new method
of standard scratch scoring Introduced
In 1933, has put British golf In a
complete muddle.
Thf effect of the new method was
to eliminate "bogey," put all players
on a par basis, and make five holes
Into fours. This, of course, necessi
tated reformation In most of the
British courses, while many players,
who have been rated at scratch, now
receive one or two strokes, and some
players who have owed strokes find
they are now at scratch.
The result has been a loud pro
test. Handicapping here haa been based
on bogey, and bogey Is only second
best. Take a hole of 450 yards. The
bogey Is five and anyone worth con
sidering as a player can get a five.
To a real scratch player It Is a four
hole It la par four.
In the United States a player de
scribe his form by saying he can
shoot two above par, or six, or nine
above par. He always Is aiming at
perfection the par figure for each
hole. In -this country golfers aim at
bogey, and often there Is a difference,
varying from two to five strokes, be
tween the par and the bogey totals
of a course.

SALEM, Ore (UP) Political activity
of the last few days indicates one of
the largest votes ever cast In a pri
mary election will be recorded May
18.
Voters will signify their choice for
candidates seeking more than 100
state and federal offices. Five propos
ed constitutional amendments and
measures will be accepted or rejected.
At present there are approximately
480.000 registered voters In Oregon,
according to David 0Hara, legal ad
visor to the secretary of state. Of this
number probably 440,000 are quali
fied. At the last general election 377,933
votes were cast. The special electton
of last July which saw the sales tax
defeated by a majority of four to ons
brought 227,652 voters to the polls.
Voting figures for the last general
election show 134,512 votes were oast
In Multnomah county, more than one
third of the state's total.
Lane county cast the second largest
number, 25,004. Marion county with
22,604 was third and Clackamas
fourth with 19,051.
These votes show tho necessity of
successful candidates to 'carry sub
stantial majorities in the Willamette
valley. Supporters of Carle Abrams,
republican candidate for secretary of
state, count this factor as one of t ho
st rongest m favor of their candidate,
who lives at Salem and Is well known,
throughout the valley from Eugene to
Portland.
Lightest vote cast In 1932 was that
of Jefferson county, 794.
