Association Not Likely to Adopt One
at Present.

The craze for the rubber golf ball, which
is as strong in England as it is in this
country, has led to a demand on the part
Of several prominent golfers for the adop-
ton of a standard ball. Mr.. Hilton and
Mr.. Low, two eminent English authori-
ties, claim that the rubber ball has brought
the second rate man almost to level with
the cracks and that skill is now at a dis
count.
The editor of prominent English golf1ng
paper pronounces strongly against the
adoption Of a standard ball. making the
sensible remark that if any one of the
various new balls is much better than the
others it will tablish itself as the stand
ard, in spite of all competition, and no
legislation will be able to kill 1t.
Mr.. c. 8. Cox, who speaks with authority,
has this to say:
1.-The time is not ripe for the adopting of
a standard ball. The rubber core ball is
in it's infancy. All the inventive faculties
of all the rubber men and dozens of other
manufacturers are at work trying to pro-
duce a ball better in every respect than any
of the rubber core balls in the market.
There are 176 patents, applications for
patents and caveats filed now, and it Is
only reasonable to suppose that with the
knowledge already gained by a careful
study Of the ball as used at the present,
some manufacturer will produce a very
much better one in the near future.
1.-The solid gutta percha ball is doomed.
The new ball produces better results and is
three or four times long, provided it is
not topped, and the question of price alone
would eventually cause it to be generally
adopted"
