Early End Predicted Lands Reign: Change Golf Ball Meeting
GOLF GREENS GRASS
IS LOCAL DISCOVERY

The story Of the origin of Washing.
ton Bent. a strain that has become
universally accepted as the best vege.
tative grass for putting greens. is
told In the latest issue of the bulletin
Of the Washington Golf and Country
Club, on whose course the grass was
first discovered. Here is the way the
bulletin describes the find:
1.-The original plant Of this bent was
selected from the old fourth green by
Prof. c. v. Piper Of the Department
Of Agriculture, former member Of
the club and now chief adviser to the
greens section Of the United States
Golf Association.
1.-THE older members of the club
will remember that this green was
never well drained. and furthermore
was situated In a pocket where the
air drainage was very poor. For
four years in succession this green
was DESTROYED by the brown patch
disease, except one circle of grass
near the center and about 2 feet
in diameter. From the fact that this
had resisted the disease for four years
in succession. it seemed highly prob
able that it was resistant, II not i'm.
mune. to the disease-a conclusion
that has been abundantly verified by
extensive experiments"
The grass Is grown commercially
and it's fame has spread all over the
world.

Britain is anxious to develop.
STANDARD Is 1.62.
The present standard ball Is 1.62
in both size and weight. The U. s

periments made in the South two
years ago decided that a ball meas

would be better suited for tournament
play and would aid in checking the
apparent drift toward phenomenally
low scoring.
There were many arguments pro
.and con regarding the contemplated
change in the ball. Many OF the lead
ing PLAYERS were rather Indifferent
in their views; in fact, most OF them
thought q change might be beneficial
to the so-called duffer. But 1t was the

This group claimed that to change
the ball would reduce their hitting.
And in hitting or In driving is where
they-meaning the duffers-obtain
their biggest thrill In golf. The argu.
ment of the u. S. G. A. committee
was that a lighter ball would enable
all players to control 1t better, par.
ticularly in iron play. But the duffer
protests that he Is not seeking con.

is the long drive and the thrill Of see

Yet, in spite Of this clanlor, the
