It Is a fact that since the intr oduction
Of the lively ball there has been little sals
for the solid gutta percha ball in this coun-
try. and, although the professionals have
banded together not to use II In the open
championship or in matches, the trade
situation Is nearly the same in Great Brit
ain. letter received yesterday in this
city from one Of the leading makers OF
gutta percha balls In England states: The
American ball has not only ruined our
export trade, but u threatens ruin to us
at home The Haskell people insist that
this change In the type Of golf ball is duo

sorts Of lively ball deny all this. They
state that there IL nothing new In the Has

In the patent had long been known to ball
makers and consequently had been aban-

in support Of these diverse contentious
will have to be passed on in court.
