GUTTA VERSUS RUBBER BALL.
The reputation-evidently well earned
and the results achieved by J. \. 7.
Eramston, who. competent British au-
thorities agree. was the classicst and best
player on the Oxford Cambridge Goiting
Society team. which visited the United
States last fall. inevitably lead to the
conclusion that the golfer who insists up
on using the solid gutta-percha ball has
no chance with inferior players who use
the American rubber-filled ball
Though Mr. Bramston was admittedly
the best of the visiting golfers, a glance
at the appended record will show that he
played more matches, lost more and won
less than any man on the team:
