BY Joe Williams

The bigger and better golf ball
will cease to be Il conversational sub
ject after the current season. BY
spring it viii be a reality, and in
the major tournaments next year 1t
will be compulsory. This much was
admitted by an official of the u. 5.
G.. A. in the writer's presence at De-
troit three weeks ago.
Among the great army OF buffers
there is no plaintive plea Tor a
change. The habtually high scorers
rather like the smaller, farIIying
sphere which yields them amazing
yardage, when Il good hit is register
ed Even the promise that the new
ball will simplify the hit because
it is bigger and therefore easier TO
get up" leaves them cold and
singularly unmoved. At best the duf-
fer doesn't get 4 very long hit Oft
the tee, or with his in-between shots,
and any change in balls designed to
curtail distance is not likely to win
his whole and undivided appreciation.
Luckily the dutfer may do as he
pleases about the new ball. He isn't
good enough to play in the major
tournaments and the u. S. G. A. eX-

Billy Evans Says

Which is the more difficult feat
from sport standpoint, the ability
to hold slight lead or come from
behind to win?
Recently while sitting on the
Washington players bench, prior to
starting game in that city, one
of the Nationals, noticing the pitch

position, Remarked:
"That bird is front-runner. If
We can score first on him, he's

hind to VIM
The players speech interested me.
The pitcher he referred to is a
mighty capable performer but is
regarded by opposing players as q
front-runner.
The front runner in baseball, OF
any other sport, is the athlete who
shows to best advantage when he
has the edge on the opposition.
The belief in major league base.
ball is that certain pitchers lose
their effectiveness the moment the
score is against them.
When such pitcher is selected,
rival players crowd him to the limit
in an effort to put over one or more
runs and thereby get the working
margin on him.
Pitchers Of such a temper ament
are generally regarded as lacking
courage. l have often wondered il
such belief is not wholly unde-
served.
Does it require more courage to
come from behind to win than to
triumph by holding a slight leaa
that is gained early in the contest,
whether it be baseball, golf or any
other sport?
Recently Walter Hagen, by WIN
ming the British open, established
himself as one Of the greatest, it
not the greatest, competitive golfer.
In his quest for the British title
in three consecutive years, Hagen
has twice carried away that great
honor and on the other occasion lost
by single stroke.
Hagen came from behind to win
the year. He sank an 1s-foot,put

expected.

LIGHTER BALL WILL BE IN PLAY IN 1925
Experts Wonder How Players Would Have
Fared With 1t in Winds During Detroit Play

plains its stand on the ground that
the balls are getting more lively each
wear, and that 4 stop must be made
somewhere in order to preserve the
original character and purpose OF the
present courses.
However, it is by no means posi-
tive that the bigger and lighter ball
will solve the problem. Being light
CT it will not fly as far, naturally,
but whether il will be satisfactory
in other respects is questionable. 1t
would have been interesting to study
the characteristics OF the new ball
in the open championship at Oakland
II Ills recently when the wind blew "A
!, stiff gale across the course. Few
Of the stars could control the heavy
ball in the wind and none of the
leaders was able te equal par on the
ay of the finals. With a light,short-
flying ball many of them might still
be trying to finish, and the scores
would. we fear, have mounted into
the hundreds.
Be that as it may, the cloth has
been cut and the new ball is definite
ly on its way. 1t may turn out to
be just the thing the doctor ordered
and again it may be an awful bust.
