SHORTAGE IS FELT
Golf Pros Find Good Sticks Hard
to Obtain-Local Events
Tomorrow.

The golf professionals face Il real
shafts hard to get. but it is reported
that some of the larger wholesale con
Germs are c0rnering the market and
thus making it impossible for the pros
to get hold of any sticks. The price
of a good shaft two years ago was only
20 cents. but today it is not possible
to get hold of a first class shaft for
less than 80 cents. and the proportion
Of bad ones in shipment makes the
investment poor one. 1t is claimed
that at least 40 per cent of con
signment of shafts to one of the local
clubs was imperfect. Fred Mcleod has
his own use d few months ago and
which he uses to show the imperfection
of some of the shafts that are being
turned out. The stick can be twisted
into half circle and will stay that
way. Another shaft which he uses
also for exhibition purposes is almost
as bad 1t seems probable that unless
the big dealers get ready soon to un-
load some of their large stocks of good
shafts that golfers will either have to
go on with the old weapon or be Sa tlS

quality which is needed
