PLANS NOW MADE
WILL Be IGNORED
Certain to Be No Action in
1880, as Agreed-Huge
Problem Faced.

THERE will no be change in the
size or weight of the golf ball for
several years to come. Al
i though 1880 is the year set by
the golf governing bodies in the
United States and Britain to make
a change in the size and weight
of the ball. to reduce its driving posi-
bilities and to stop the changing of
courses. which many have deemed neces-
sary because OF the distances the "rab-
bit BALI of the present day can be
driven, there will be no change next
year and probably not for many years
to come.
Lacking the authority of a positive
statement by the powers that be in golf,
but nevertheless coming with all the
authority of inside" knowledge, the
word comes from New York that a
stalemate has been reached in the mat
ter of changing the ball, and that no
action may be expected for several
years.
Those who would have the matter of
changing the hall are facing a dilemma
On one side of the Scylla and, Charibdis
of doubt lies the very material fact that
golf ball manufacturers will be put to
very considerable expense Il the size
and weight of the ball is changed. On
the other lies the likewise undisputed
fact that many present courses are put
to shame-literally driven to laughter
by the distance the ball can be driven
by an expert. On one side lies the in
nuence OF money, many millions of
dollars, while on the other side also lies
money, but in a smaller degree.
Changing Is Costly.
No one with the ability to figure in
large numbers would doubt for minute
that the cost of the comparatively minor
changes necessary to make all the golf
courses of the United States conform to
the distance the present ball can be
driven would equal that necessary to
change the dies and the intricate manu-
featuring processes by which golf balls
are now made.
That is an exact picture of the sit
uatlon, in so far as those in the know
have been able to figure it out. And to
make the matter a bit more cogent,
even the United States Golf Association
and the Royal and Ancient have not
been able to find any appreciate diff
ference in the distance the so-called
standard ball may be driven in COM
parison with the golf bali of the size
