PROS PRAISE NEW GOLF BALL AFTER
 TRIAL IN TOURNEY
More Distance, Better on Greens Is Newest "Pin" for 1882 Linksn1en

Pasadena, Calf, Dec 21.-(UP) The United States Golf associa- tion's new and heavier ball was teed off favorably to-day with mos. of the country's leading players ex- pressing delight with its perform ance.
 Although the bah, the same size as the much discussed balloon ball and .06 of an ounce heavier, may not be used officially until January l, practically all who competed in the $4,000 Pasadena open played with it.
 Harry Cooper, Chicago, whose 70 over the Brookside course yes- terday gave him total of 2S1 for the tournament and first prize money of $1,000 was one of those highly pleased.
 Can't Blame Him "Any ball that helps me win | $1,000 is a very fine ball." he said to-day, "I really think it's bet ter ball than the ballooner. I found I was getting more distance on my drives and I thuoght the ball performed better on the greens"
 Wiffy Cox, Brooklyn, whose 2SS took second money; Fred Morrison, Los Angeles, third with 2S9, and Walter Hagen and Ralph Gulgahl, both of Detroit. who finished next with 290's, all thought the new ball an improvement.
 Hagen was inclined to believe, however, that the duffer will gain more from 1t than the good player. George Won Elm, Leo Diegel and Johnny Golden said the added weight gave greater carrying pow CT and made 1t truer in putting. Macdonald Smith was the only player outspokenly against the new bali. He said it didn't set well on the fairway and 1t didn't require as fine a touch as the balloon ball.

ROBIN STARS TO
 BE FINANCIALLY
 DIMMED BY CLUB

New York, Dec 21-(UP)- With baseball magnates agreed to 8 general reduction of ex- penses, a drastic slashing of sal- aries appeared in prospect to- day as the Brooklyn baseball club met to consider contracts for 1882.
 The Brooklyn club made money last year but profits were far below those of 1880. Play. CTS given . liberal share of 1880 profits are expected to be reduced accordingly, by at least $25,O0O.
 Pitcher Dazzy Vance, Out. fielder Babe Herman and ShOrt- stop Glenn Wright who drew 2,5OO, $18,O00 and $15,000, respectively, probably will rec ceiye the largest cuts. Vance appears destined for a slash of S8,OOO, while Herman and Wright are expected to suffer reductions of $5,OOO each.

ERRORS IN SUPERIOR
 COURT TRIAL CITED
On ance Given Theatrical Magnate to Escape
 Going to Prison

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. April 3. -Anc.her chance to escape prison is assured Alexander Pantages, the- ater magnate.
 The Appellat te Courts order granting Pantages a new trial on charge of criminally assaulting Eu- nice Pringle, has been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
 Chief Justice William Waste said in making the decision: "The prosecution no doubt labored un- der stress of public opinion and the excitement of the times and was confronted with considerable provocation, but the testimony of the prosecutrix is so improbable as to challenge ones credulity. The jury should have been permitted to consider the evidence and have been uninfluenced by incidents and errors discussed in the main opin- ion"
 Pantages was sentenced to from che to fifty years in San Quentin prison. The Appellate Court found reversible errors in the transcript of the Superior Court trial and reversed the conviction holding he was entitled to new trial. Attor- ney General U. s. Webb then ap- pealed to the Supreme Court.
