~ If you golfers don't like that
!7ebig new potato to play with. it's
high time you laid by a store OF
-. those smaller and farther travel
:. ing pellets right now. No longer
are the smaller balls made, the
'y5Rof ball manufacturers discon~
= finuing making them October l
ci To get store of the old agates
sin stock it Is necessary to find
fft shop where they still have
OF them, that's all. And there
,ssvaren't SO many of the shops still
hhccarrying them either, for that
Ts9matter, because the manufac-
nc turers have been sending in the
u larger onions to their jobbers in
$h7 an ever-increasing supply through
NC the last few months.
So It is the current belief among
4Ad Q number of golfers in this
sett section that the golf club
,st,A mar ufacturers have gone the
sss( golf ball manufacturers just
ohr one better. The tendency of
n the club makers now, you
sst.y know, is to make the clubs
~ prOpOrtionately lighter, too,
sfiae thus making it possible to
sa1 hit just as far with the new
dos and larger ball as 1t was with
srf2 the old one.
vif The new ball is made of rubber.
nettco, so with lighter club, which
- 6
n impact proportionately swifter
la than the old club, the big ball
,lit must travel about as far as the
H. old one did. When they're hit
s7othey've got to go, that's all.
sfa Other things in the way of ad-
g Vantages and disadvantages which
the new ball has over or suffers lii
ts comparison to the old one will
sti. soon be forgotten. The ukase has
sdsbeen uttered. After January
81. nothing but the new ball vii! be
~ officially recognized in tourna-
sr ment play.

Il Indian Spring may be weakened
If :"Chick" Morrow is unable to
return from Kentucky for the
n match. Either George Gist or
u Harold Graves will sub for him
in the event he doesn't return,
~ but there is strong chance he
may get back. Columbia will
use the same team that carried
it into the final round by dis
posing of the Public Parks team

=. Willie MacFarlane, Charley Lacey
!. and Ed Dudley are just three Of
~ the Metropolitan stars who have
: signified their intention Of play
Ing in the tourney.
cR@ MacFarlane will be remem.
an bered as the tall, thin Scot
who looks more like a college
professor than q golf prOfes-
;, sional, who defeated none
- other than Robert Tyre Jones
- in the pIay-Off at Worcester
20 Mass, for the United States
~ open championship in 1925.
~ after finishing in a deadlock
- in the II holes with 291, Mac

Dudley and Lacey are two of
the younger pros who have been
cutting wide swath in competi-
tive circles. this year, though nei-
ther has won many outstanding

lishman who is one of the most
feared players in this country.
