PRINCE IN DISGRACE
DAY OP BAD GOLF. LONDON, June 5. The Army and the Navy suffered at the hands of the Prince of Wales. He played bad golf. As a Vice-admiral, the Prince played for the Admirals in their annual match, 20 aside, against retired Army Generals at Camberley. Then, with the strictest impartiality, he turned the tarry jacket and became a lieutenant-general for 'a foursomes. The Prince had an exhausting day. He started badly and never recovered. Of the two, his short game was more effective, his play including a nine-foot putt. The Generals had the better of the bargain in the match, finishing with the score 27—5, in their favour. The Generals again were leading in the foursomes 3 up, but the Admirals recovered and halved the match.
