GOLF BALLS
Of FUTURE TO
Be ENGLISH 29

London, Feb cl.-CBy Mail.)-In the
wake OF recent newspaper discussions
by English golfers on the wisdom of
players in the United States abolishins
the stymie. the press is now publish
| ing contributed letters on the advis-
ability OF the ball favored as stan
dard" by American devotees OF the
game.
Standardization was decided upon. at
meeting here last year OF the rules
committee OF tho Royal and Ancion,
club of st. Andrews with delegates
from the United states and Western
Golf associations. 1t was voted that,
beginning May /. 1921, a bail used in
a tournament play must not weigh
more than l62 ounces. nor have dl-
| amctcr OF less than 1.62 inches.
The effect of tho ruling was to retain
the size OF the small, heavy bail popu-
lar in England. but to reduce the
weight slightly. II rendered what is
known in tho United States as the
80 eligible to competition but barred
tho Jl-pcnnywc!ghtS ball used in Eng
land. English players had used moth
Ing between the 20 and i-pcnnywoights
balls in their home play.
In a letter to the Times. George Dun
can. of Hanger Hin, British open
Champion, records his satisfaction with
the lighter ball and predicts better
l.
Il am glad that the ball is to be
lighter" writes Duncan. las the game
will bc easier TO play for every one. In
that the all-air-routc'-thc correct way
to the green-will not be SO difficult as
with tho heavy ball. | Will risk a
prophecy and say that the Champion
ship figures of 1921 will DO better than
those OF 1920, or OF any previous year.
Not because tho ball will go farther
than 1t did, but for the reason that
the lighter ball Will be much more
easily controlled

tude hold by tho Americans at last

Eostion for Standardization of the pre-
sent "29' was being considered.

the matter up" he writes. and de-
cidcd, not only to have "A ball limited
in size and weight for the champion

orally. \ committee was appointed,
and they decided upon "A Floatcr, a
very useful ball for a player of more
than mature age. Fortunately for the
game. America had to be consulted on
tho matter and her delegates rightly
stood out for legislation for the coming
generation of golfers. America won
on n common sense argument which
was that her then open champion and
about a Floatcr, owing to the fact that
Americas best golfers had learned
their golf sinco the advent of the mod

Duncan expresses n conviction that
tho popular bah of tho future will he

England as tho '29." which is slightly
lighter than the present standard.

TRIAL OF S0x
MAY SHOW MUCH
DOUBLE DEAl|NG

Chicago. March 1.-The trial OF
Chicago White Sox baseball player
charged with throwing the 1919
world series, that begins Monday be
fore Judge William +. Devcr of the
county court, is expected to bring
forth evidence that almost everyone
connected with the alleged conspiracy
was double crossed in some wav.
The loss by Charles A. Comiskcy,
owner Of the club, of his champion
ship team and Of players valued col
lectively as high as 100000, was
looked upon at the time OF the jury
Investigation as doublc-crossinc un-
parallelcd in baseball history. Testi-
mony given before the grand jury
and which probably will be intro
duccd during the trial, indicated that
the alleged plans of the gamblers
charged with fixing the series and Of
players charged with throwing it,
also went astray in several respects.
This testimony, given by witnesses,
was TO the effect that tho gamblers
doublc-crossed certain players by not
making good on promised bribcS, Ger
tam players in return doublo-crosscd
the gamblers by winning game on
which the gamblers had pyramidcd
previous winnings and thus lost many
thousands of dollars for the f1crs,
and that some players even double
crossed each other.
Chicago lost the first two games OF
the series and on these two games
various gamblers were said to have
won many thousands of dollars.
Claude Williams and Joe Jackson, in
their grand jury confessions, said
that the players were promised
certain amount of money after each
game, but only Cicottc, Jackson and
Williams confessed to receiving
money. According to some Of the
evidence. certain players became very
angry when the gamblers failed to
make good on the promise of pay
mcnts after each game and having
thus been doublc-crosscd by the gam
blcrs, did their best to win the third
game of the series.
Inc gamblers, 1t was SAID, pyra-
midcd their bets, betting on tho Sec
ond gamc-aSainst Chicago-all they
had won the first. The combined
winnings were placed on Cincinnati
TO win the third game and when Dick
Kerr came thru with 3 TO 0 vic
tory, in which he was aided by in
dicted players, the gamblers lost ev-
erything.
Felsch, Weaver, Risberg and Nc
Mullin maintain that they never en-
tered the conspiracy and never re-
ceived money. Jackson and Williams
deny they threw games, altho admit
ting they received money. Cicotto
confessed to receiving money aud TO
one Intentional misplay. Gandil has
never surrendered, but in press state
men's was quoted as denying that he
took any part in the deal. He was
named by Williams as the man who
gave him 100000. however, 5000 for
himself and 5000 for jackson.

HIGH SCHOOL
The next basketball game will
be with Donnybrook on the local
floor Friday evening Of this week.
The boys are. all feeling fine after
their. strenuous trip, and are going
to make every effort to continue
| their splendid record.
One Of the noteworthy features
of the trip taken by the basketball
team last week was the opportunity
provided for comparing our school
and town with that of others. In
no place can the support that towns
people or pupils given to the team
be compared. While our game
was advertised as special attrac-
ton, the largest crowd we played
to was at Bottineau where about a
hundred and fifty people were in
attendance and the gate receipts
were $65. At Rugby, a city more
than twice the size of Bowbells,
not more than hundred people
saw the game, and the manage
ment stated that they lost money
school appreciates the spirit Of the
Bowbells people, and the team is
going to try to show, it's apprecia-
ton by the same kind of playing
at home which established the rec
ord on the trip.
A Student association has been
organized, which will give pupils
an opportunity Of taking a more
active part in the affairs of high
school. 1t will hold regular meet
ings every other week, and will
have charge. with the approval of
the superintendent, OF most of the
outside activities Of the school.
The officers of the association are,
president, Eugene Schultz; vice
president, Victor Masters; secre-
tary-treasurer. Viola Masters.
