STANDARD BALL IDEA
STIRS GOLF PLAYERS
Rule Would Meet Hard OPPOSE
in U. S. and Canada.
No Definite Action Taken at Meeting
of Royal and Ancient Club Of st.
Andrews-Matter Seems to Be
In Allegiance at Present.

Although the Royal and Ancient club
Of st. Andrews at it's last meeting
took no definite action on the stand
ardization Of golf balls, the matter
was discussed. Prior to the meeting
1t was reported on seemingly good au-
thority that it was the intention of
the rules of golf committee to intro
duce a rule standardizing the floater,
writes Joe Davis in Chicago Tribune.
In order to give the golf trade a
chance to unload its stock Of heavier
balls, it was proposed to make the
change take effect at the close of the
present season.
For the time being the matter seems
10 be in allegiance, and, while the mat
ter of Standardization never has been
officially discussed by the United
States Golf association, the national
body would have to take official action
If the British authorities decided to
adopt standard ball.
Although the U. S. G. A. and the
Royal and Ancient club differ in their
Interpretation Of the amateur rule, the
only difference in the playing rules is
that the q. s. G. A. sanctions the use
Of the mallet-headed putter, which is
barred in Great Britain.
Commenting on the proposed legis-
Iation the Canadian Golfer says:
ut is sincerely hoped that the rules
Of golf committee will not be so Ill
advised as to adopt such a radical de
parture without first consulting the
powers that be in this and other golf.
Ing countries. In Canada the rules
and regulations of the game as laid
down by st. Andrews are faithfully
followed, but it is grave question If
any such change as that mooted in
connection with the Standardization OF
the ball would be acceptable here. The
rules of golf committee must hasten
slowly very slowly, before making
any such rash decision. 1t certainly
would be retrograde legislation.
"The chief objections made to the
rubber-cored ball are that it gives a
good response to half-hit shot; that
1t makes recovery from hazards toe
easy, so. that the bad shot does not
receive the punishment it deserves
and that its resiliency makes it much
harder to control on a hard green and
so introduces an element Of luck IN
approaching and putting.
"All these objections apply most
strongly to the fioater and much less
strongly to the small, heavy ball, which
it is proposed to abandon. One thing
is sure: IF st. Andrews does attempt
to standardize the 'fioater,' it's rulins
will not be observed in Canada or the
States. 1t will commit golfing suicide
as far as. its influence here is con
cerned." ass a
