BRITISH LINKSMEN
WANT THE 'FLOATER'
Golf Stars at Test Revive Agi-
tation for Non-Sinkable
Type Of Ball.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

The contention that a golf ball OF
the floater type could be Sc wound
that it would travel further than any
of the present so-called limit balls adds
to the interest in the agitation for the
non-sinkable rubber core, which ap-
pears TO have opened ap in England
with all its pristine glory They are
at IL again over there. testing and test
ing. The first trial of the season was
held at~ Hoylake under the auspices
OF the Royal Liverpool Club but about
all that one can~gather from the re-
ports Of the event IS that while "the
players views differed considerably as
to the merits of the larger ball, it was
generally conceded that, il adopted, 1t
should be floater,S
From the above il will be gathered
that il now Is the larger type that is
being considered The spheres dis
tributed TO the players We're of some
of the best known makes. none of them
less than 1.T05 inches in damater and
weighing y 10 50 pennyweights. Evil
IDENTIFY no very startling results were
achieved. although it is quite possible
that scoring would have been a good
deal lower had not an early April frost
laid hold of the ground. One OF the
best returns was the so of c. j. IL.
Tolley, who used 80 ball going out
for a 30 and 81 ball coming home
when his card showed Al.
1t Is reported that Tol.ey preferred
the lighter ball. and this despite the
fact that he was less successful with
this than with the heavier type. John
Ball returned an SO. and declared at
the finish Of the round that he did
not see much difference between a 81
and smaller bali. Ball found that
the extra size made 1t easier to play.
The Royal Liverpool veteran is one OF
those who firmly believes that the
standard ball should be floater.
One authority who subscribes to the
opinion that it is possible to wind the
floater and to make 1t travel further
than any of the present bullets re-
marks that n very tightly wound ball
Will give greater distance than a softer
wound ball. and suggests that the rule
should be that sphere under a load of
800 pounds should fiatten not less than
10 per cent. of it's diameter.
This authority thinks that in addition
to the resiliency standard there should
also be a compression test for hardness
of compressibility of the ball, and pre-
sents the aforementioned formula. He
would have the 1.62> rule altered in re-
spect to size or weight. and suggests that
the following addition might also be
made to it:
'The ball shall have n certain CO.
efficient of restitution G. e.. ratio of the
velocity separation after impact to the
velocity of approach), or. to put II
another way. a ball dropped from a
height OF seven feet shc aid not rebound
more than four feet"
