A few weeks ago an English pro-

about lighting Beckett, taking il for
granted Beckett would beat Carpen-
tier.
do you have some one ready to
carry your boxers out of the ring
after the first rOund?" asked a friend
OF Jacks, kidding the Englishman.

American.
"Haw, haw," laughed the English
man, II see. You're spooing me"
But Carpenter knocked Beckett out
in less than a round. Dempsey would
have done the same thing.

In the opinion of an official OF the
United States Golf Association. stand
ardizing the ball does not present such
a serious problem as many would make
it appear. The whole thing, he says
resolves itself into legislating as to the
quality of the material used. In other
words, the theory is advanced that
manufacturers have just about reached
the limit Of their efforts so far as get
ting distance out of rubber ball is
concerned.
What should be guarded against most
Is the introduction Of some extraneous
substance of gaseous or explosive
nature that might result in an extra
jump in the matter Of yardage. With
balls manufactured as they are now,
so the official claims, we need not worry
as to any material increase in either
the length Of the carry or run. He does
not consider that the problem hinges
aroud whether or not the manufacturers
be allowed to produce a ball that must
float. The question will be brought up
and given serious discussion at the an
nual meeting of the u. S. G. A. to be
held in this city on Jan. 3.
There aren't many country clubs
that can boast that they have had only
one President since the formation Of the
organization, but that Is the record OF
the Philmont Country Club, which at Its
recent annual meeting elected Ellis a
Gimbel for the fourteenth consecutive
year.

400, despite the fact that the club at It's
meeting decided to increase the dues
right down the line through the various
classes of membership.
