All Over a Golf Ball

Special Cablegrsm to The Star.
LONDON, July 22.-Justice Buckley has
just delivered long and important judg-
nnent in the patent action in which the pro-
prietors of the Haskell golf ball sued the
Springvale Company and Mr.. Horace
Hutchinson for alleged infringement by
their Eagle" Hawk" and kite" balls
His lordship limited that he was no golfer.
He, however, delivered many epigrams re-
gar ding the game such as Eye and muscle
must be trained to a perfect obedience TO
perform a new operation at every stroke"
The plaintiffs brought out their ball In 1875.
claiming that their invention combined tho
two contradictory qualities of a high resi!-
fercy on the tee, due to the core OF wound
rubbed thread, and muffing in elasticity or
the gutta percha cover which kept 1t quiet
Oh the green.
After holding that the plaintiffs patent
suggested an object which was achieved by
the means described in il. and that. IL their
invention was novel, the defendants ball In
fri ged IL, his lordship dismissed their ac-
ton on the ground that an amateur en-
thusiast, Captain Duncan Stewart. about
1873 had made rubber wound balls or the
same priGciple, which be used to give or
sell to his friends. including Tom Morris.
The Haskell ard other rubber cored balls
are sold at 2s. each. which is twice the price
of the solid gutta-pereba balls they have
driven out of fashion. The result of this
Judgment, upsetting the Haskell patent, viii
probably be to open up the industry to COM
petition, with consequent reduction In price.
At present the manufacture of rubber cored
balls Is concentrated In few hands.

Marquette League Averages


The records of the players In the Mar
quette League for all games played up to
and including July To- 1905, are herewith
given. John Daleys Immaculate team
has the heaviest list of sluggers. al
though his team is near the end in the
standing OF the clubs. Nine men are bat
ting above 300. while Rodler who has
only played in three games. hits Ii up for
eleven safe ones out of fourteen times
up, for an average of Use. Bill Carrick.
who has participated In fifteen games
has reached the .673 point. securing thirty
three hits out of forty-nine times up.
The Greenbacks are sticking at a .342
clip. and only three men are below 300
st. Paul has made quite a jump since the
last records were published, and now
has an average OF .331
Six men are above the usual stick work
for st. Vincent, and Mr.. Turner can boast
Of 1928 record for his team. st. Patrick
~ just two points above 800. Lombody.
Reagan and Merrilet head the list of heavy
stick artists. Trinity Is still last in the
stick work. due to the fact that Lips
comb and Frank are the only men bat
ting at reliable gait.
Fielding seems to be the strong spot OF
the st. Patrick club, for its record is
941. St Vincent is tossing the leather at
a second-best gait and St Martin is field
ing at $50. st. Paul Is doing the field
work at SIS. The Immaculate records
show that it's games lost were due to
the lack of good field qualities. Trinity
seems to be weak at both stages OF the
game-batting and fielding.

Murnane Base Ball Comment

the old National League. Arson says the
New York Giants are the only club put
ting up American League ball. I called
on the old war horse while in Chicago and
never saw Arson in a pleasanter frame Of
mind.
Eyes, the boys treated me finely" he re-
marked. when complimented on his cleo
ton to a fine berth at city hall. Base ball,
however, was uppermost In his mind and
he started out on the spit-ball problem.
y have watched the pitchers" said he,
but have been unable to discover any
thing new. I see no pitchers OF the present
day who would have anything on Rad
bourne, John Clarkson, Tim Keefe. Gold
smith and q dozen others that ! could
week nowadays when they are just right
and naturally depend on a lot Of speed.
Years ago a man would pitch three or four
games each week and have perfect con-
troll. There was no foul strike rule to help
out the pitchers and q BAH rolling foul was
not strike. The old pitchers were forced
to use their heads and never complained of
sore arms. 1t was a game Of science and
willing to bet my money that can hit or
catch the much-taiked-of spit ball.
A. was fully convinced that the spit
ball when properly delivered, Is the most
any argument with my old friend and cut
out disagreeable feature OF the same
the announcement that Col. James A.
Hart was about to turn over the business
Murphy. the Cincinnati newspaper man,
caused Arson to ask: Can you tell me who
owns the stock Of the Chicago National
League club?" I pleaded ignorance.
Then with q smile Arson said: II know
that have q few shares Of stock, and per-
haps this new man from Cincinnati may
want to buy me out" Arson was not the
only one who commenced to do a think act
when it was given out that Charley Murphy
was to come forward as the man in charge
of the Windy City club.
Jake Stahl Is having his troubles with the
washington players. heard Tom Hughes
score his manager numerically in Chicago
this week. Hughes would like to quit Wash
ington and believe 1t would be a good
thing for the club. Bad actors are losing
propositions in a ball team and the Hughes
brand must be counted as hard to handle,
although good-nature and fine workmen.
Tom Hughes has a brother pitching fine
ball Tor Davenport Ia. I asked a western
manager why this youngster was not picked
up by the big leagues His answer was
shake of the head and one sentence; "a
bad actor"
The Washington club Is on the look out
for new players when all that is necessary
now In that city is to get the best work
out Of the present players on the salary
seems to be in getting the best work out Of
the players.
The condition Of the men, their temper
ment and the treatment by the press is
sure o have great effect on the players,
young and old. All cannot be winners and
1t takes more than skill to keep at the top.
Luck follows perseverance" says Jimmie
Collins. and ! guess he is right.
