THERE is a story coming from the
! other side that the old question
of the merits in golf OF the solid gut
ta- percha ball as against the present
rubber-co ball is to be tested out
by four professionals OF Great Brit
ammo less personages than ]. II.
Taylor, Harry Vardon. James Braid
and George Duncan. Some of those
who saw Alex Herd in the year when
the open was played at Hoylake cover
that course, 6,375 yards, on a windy
day in II strokes wish that he were
included In the number, especially in
view Of the fact that Alex played in
the exhibition matches at Cannes and
Nice on the Riviera and defeated
Duncan.
II it is true that the contest lie to be
a best-ball match in the morning, all
playing with guilty" balls, and a
match in the afternoon in which two
Of the pros win use rubber-cored
balls and the other two gutta-
percha, it Is putting it mildly to say
that such a test would surely demon
strate nothing except by inference as
to the value of the balls. In the first
place, no man who had been playing
for the last few years with rubber
cored ball would be willing to go into
match with ball that he had not
had very considerable amount of
practice with, and put himself on an
equality with the man who made no
change IN the ball. No matter how
much these men may play just pre-
vious to the contest with guilty"
balls, the preponderance for several
years with the rubber ored ball is
going to tell against the guilty" Ac-
cording to the above demonstration,
IL all four play in the morning with
the Rutta- percha balls, ii will only
be a matter of which mans game is
best suited to the "deader' ball, and
the match in the afternoon with two
of them using the rubber-cor and
two the "gutties' would have a COM
plicating condition in 1t, dependent
upon the character of the course the
match was over. In other words, the
experiment will be interesting, but
will hardly prove much an to the
value of the balls.
Already there has been consider
able experimentation in preparation
for this match. Vardon has been re-
cording his observations, and they
amount practically to the fact that he
gets a little farther at playing the
equity" with g brassy than he does
the rubber-cored with a cleek. He
finds the greatest difference. as we

STATE GETS $4,000 TO DROP PRINTING SUITS
Nine Printing Establishments in Tex
as Agree to Settlement, Which
Becomes a Judgment.

Austin, Textile antitrust suit OF
the State against nine printing and
stationery concerns was settled Sat
urday and judgment entered in the
twenty-siXth district court. They had
been charged with fixing the price OF
blank books, stationery, printing and
office furniture. By Saturdays judg-
ment the State RECEIVERS $4,000 in
penalties, jointly and severally, costs
of suit and $50, expended in securing
data to be used in the suit, also
sweeping writs of injunction.

Company, Fort Worth; Hill Printing

1t is not known what amount each
of the defendants paid in making up
$4,000, but it is understood that it
was not an equal sum-
In the far-reaching injunction grant
ed the State the defendants are pro-
hibited from hereafter using, directly
or indirectly, the price books and
catalogues in which are listed their
agreed prices, also prohibiting the de-
PENDANTS from hereafter publishing
and interchanging among themselves
any price books, catalogues, lists or

serve their agreements in the sale OF
