No Standardized Golf BAN.

An interesting point in connection
with balls is that tennis balls and
sbaseballs have both been standardized
much more than the golf ball. In golf
no particular brand Of ball has been
adopted. but In the last year the rules
have been changed by the United
States Golf association and the Royal
and Ancient in Britain, to specify that
"a ball not smaller than 1852 inches
In diameter, nor more than 1862 ounces
in weight be used In tournament golf.
sThe reason why no particular
make Of ball has been selected as Of
fetal in the golf field is that only one
player uses the ball in the course Of
the tournament" an authority said.
sIn tennis and baseball there has to
be not only q standard bail, hut one
sof "a particular make. because with
these balls the player is asking his
0pponent to use the same ball. Your
ball may suit your style. of play vet
send him OF his game. :" Exchange. (,

currency was counted by the piece, but
stored coins and currency were counted

a seal was broken or the sack torn or
there was appreciable difference in

was counted by the package.
Sealed packages of paper money are
