AGAINST THE AMERICAN GOLF Ball

in influencing the decision come to. But
the professionals one and all deny this and
strongly declare that they had only the
best interests Of the game at heart.
The deed was done at the first annual
meeting of the Professional Golfers Asso-
ciation held last week. 1t was proposed
by James Braid and seconded by c. r.
Smith that. for the present. gutta percha
balls only be used in the tourna anenfs pro-

Notes of the Diamond.

The High school freshmen base ball
team defeated the ninth grade team on
the island Wednesday by score of Go.
The game was fast throughout, and
considering the youthfulness of the
players, was exceedingly well played.
Dunleavy and Kaine did the twirling
for the freshmen and Aher was behind
the bat. The battery for the ninth
grade was Peach, Bardwell and Prouty.
The Brattleboro High school base
ball team was defeated by the Green
field High school team on the island
Saturday by a score of 25-6. The re-
sponsibility for the defeat falls upon
the fielders as the battery played well
enough to win, Grady allowing the Wis
itors only six safe hits and striking
out u men, but the infield were utterly
unable to handle the ball The bat
terry for Brattleboro was Grady and
Wallens, and for Greenfield Harris and
Brown.
