National handicaps eyed for uniform golf system
The article discusses establishing a national handicap framework in Australia to standardize amateur golf. It outlines two methods to set universal handicaps, with local clubs using the national figure to base their handicaps, and notes key players like E Holderness as the scratch benchmark. The WD Association holds its annual events at Dubbo with varied stroke play, and reports on club meetings, officers, and recent results across Royal Sydney, Parramatta, and other clubs.

Pigeons Racing Federation Debate Over Doping Trials
A heated discussion at a pigeons racing federation meeting centers on doping in races with clubs split. Proposals limit entries to five birds per entrant at a fee of five pounds, aiming to reduce freight costs and racing manipulation, while critics warn of risks to bird welfare and the sport’s integrity. A rash of sales and exchanges in Australia is noted, with traders and fanciers showing interest in new stock, including Oriental and Yellow self-tumblers, as commentary from Melbourne and England signals broader debate about racing practices and regulatory stance.
