MANY CHANGES IN
GOLF BALL
STYLES
By Chick Evans.
western Amateur Golf Cham

pion.)
Y y the year 1915 the Edinburgh
Burgess Golfing society receiv-
ed from the Corporation of
Edinburgh silver golf club. To this
club each captain on retiring from
office affixed a silver goIf ball and
by 1894 the club was covered with
these balls. Then the Edinburgh
council presented the society with
another club. Now, since the cap
tain's term of office has been short
ened the attached balls are rapidly
increasing.
Custom requires that the captain
select the most popular ball of his
time for representation on the sill
yer club. Therefore these little
spheres form an interesting con-
crete history Of the golf ball for
the last 10 years. Up to 1856 there
are representations of the feather
variety
Newer Styles Appeal.
Keith Maitland in 1856 attached
the first example OF the hand ham
mered gutta ball and in 1857 Will
liam Mann added a silver facsim-
lie of the grooved gutta. Captain
Purvis furnished the last example
of the gutta in 1900
The first patterns Of a rubber
core, the Haskell, was attached by
Captain Chesser in 1903, and Cap
tain Andrews provided a pimple-
surface Kite" in 1905. 1t is well
worth the journey to Barnton to
see how far the makers of golf
balls have travelled.
Although the first silver club was
given to the society in 1915, the
balls attached to it date back to
1895. 1t has been suggested in ex-
PLANTATION that all the captains liv-
ing at the time the club was re-
ceived attached balls to it, or there
had been another club to which
other balls had been attached.
Oldest Club in Scotland.
The Edinburgh Burgess Golflng
society is said to be the oldest club
in Scotland, and it is only second
in age 70 the Royal Blackheath club
of England. Although the earliest
minute book does not go farther
back than 1878, 1885 is really
claimed as the date of the clubs be-
ginning
When | was at ST. Andrews |
saw silver clubs with balls attach
ed but l did not notice the earliest
dates. The Burgess society is for
tunate in covering the whole pc
Rod of golf ball making.

right and left fields, respectively.
Jack McCrone, who played with
Jersey City and Baltimore in the
international league last season,
has been secured for the center field
position. He is about 26 years old,
hit over 800 in the fast Glass AA
league last season and stole 25
bases. Pitcher Green with Roanoke
of the Virginia league, may also be
used in the outfield on account
Of his fine batting qualities.
TT seems probable that Bernhard
intends to stand pat on his
pitching staff. as contracts have
been sent 10 Ferguson. Kissinger,
Parsons, Newton and Merritt, the
five men who handled the slabbing
guns last season. Incidentally, only
two of the foreSaid-Parsons and
Merrtt--won more games than they
lost last season. Neither of the
others came close to the 500 level.
The new pitchers are Waymack,
last yyear with Asheville OF the Ap-
palachian league; Needles last year
with Paducah of the Kitty"
league; Freeman, last year with st.
Joseph Of the Western league;
Green, last year with Roanoke Of
the Virginia league. and Schneiberg
and Merritt, left handlers, who
no IL,
Schneiberg and Freeman are we'll
up in years as age Is measured in
baseball, but the others are in the
kid" classification.
Doc Seabough is the only catch
er lined up at present. Bernhard
has a Glass AA Lacquer in view, a
man who formerly caught for Little
Rock, and hopes to close the deal
within the next week or ten days.
A MAN needs an imagination as
vivid as a tiashlight flare to
see a pennant winner manufactured
out of that lot of players. Admit
tedly miracles have happened. But
they come about once in ten years
in Southern league baseball-and
this isn't the year for one.
Maybe. by the use of McGilli-
cudian cunning, Bill Bernhard may
persuade his bunch to finish in the
first division. Judged by the other
teams in the league, however, he
can hardly hope to do it.

in the two major organiza-
tions last year the Atlanta club fur
nished the largest number, as seven
former Cracker players were in the
big show last season, and Incl
dentally there were quite a few
stars among the seven.
The New York Americans had
that stellar battery, Ford and

New Orleans and Memphis were
right on the heels of Atlanta in rep

six each. Former Memphis players
were George Jackson and Walter

MI is called the Bluff City. 1t
is a good and expressive
name. The only trouble is the bluff
has been called. At least, it has
in r. baseball way.
Time was, when Charley Frank
and Lew Whistler were over at
Memphis, when the Bluff City won
some pennants. Later on Charley
Babb was Atlanta's stumbling block
and his Memphis team was a con-
tender But the further the Tur-
ties have gone the worse they have
become
Now, this Bill Bernhard, who
succeeded Babb, is a corking good
manager. He showed ii in
Nashville when he took a tail-end
team and carte blanche up to $3.50
and won a pennant. 1t was mar
velous performance miracle in
it's way. Bill hasn't done much
since, but ne hasn't had much
chance. At Nashville, where he
was, and at Memphis. where he now
IS, there seems a singular reluc-
lance about spending money for
ball players, And naturally 1t is
only once In great while that a
cheap team makes a showing, even
with good manager in charge.
A SLANT at the Memphis team OF
1913 does not seem to show
that it differs much from disap-
pointing aggregations of the recent
past. When Manager Bernhard
closes a deal he has in prospect for
a Glass AA league catcher. he will
have completed the squad for 1918.
At present p players are owned
by the Turtles. OF this number II

captions, come from leagues OF

for the four infield positions.
Abstein, a fair performer, has no
competition at first base. Moulton

competition in the person of Joe
