Dead-BalI Golf.

Now and again notifications of CALF arc
submitted by ingenious patentees des-
tined TO suit those who wish TO practice
the game. but have not sufficient scope for
full-length performances Garden golf
was for time in favor, but not much
is heard of if. or of the captive ball play,
in which a small balloon prevented an
ordinary guttapercha from being driven
even by the best of players more than
thirty yards. In the latest invention.
which is called 'dead-ball golf" the balls
are not made OF gutta percha, but of
s8ft wood or cork, the former for prefer
ence. Soft white pine is found to be the
lightest and most satisfactory material
for cheap and useful ball. The balls
can be made for about pence dozen.
which is in striking constrast to the Has
keli at 2 shillings each, or the Kemp
shall at , shillings each. They are criss-
crossed on the surface with the edge of a
chisel, and in order to paint them a pin
is struck lightly into each ball. which is
then submerged in n can of thin enamel
paint, and afterward hung mp to dry.
Wooden clubs suit best for play, and, as
no ball can be driyen over fifty yards a
good round can be had In a five-acre field.
AS ping pong is to lawn tennis, so is
dead-ball golf TO the living game. but the
modification may be found useful Edin.
