BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~ HICAGO, May 80 = Rebellion
is sprouting along the fair
ways of the United States
where the great army of av-
erage golfers is struggling with the
new standard ball. The new ball
larger ard lighter-may be satisfac-
tory to the crack professional and the
star amateur but for club players, who
make up the sinews of the sport and
pay the bills, the performance OF the
sphere is anything but pleasing.
The writer learns that one Of the
smaller regional golf associations, con-
sisting of some 40 clubs, intends using
the old, heavier and far-travel!ng ball
in all of its competitions this sum-
mer. If that is done 1t will consti-
tute the first official mutiny against
the United States Golf Association and
the large ball it has forced upon the
golfers of this country.
During the Winter, when the new
ball first was used in competition
many professionals gave 1t their APP
proval. Gene SaraZen even has gone
so far as to announce his intention
Of playing it in the British open,
where the old ball still is official. But
the professional and star amateur are
able to hit the majority of their shots
nerfectN and control the fights of any
ball. The dufTer cannot do That or ne
would not be duffer.
But not all of the professionals are
satisfied with the new ball Here are
a few expressions Of opinion procured
from, a group of professionals during the
past few days:
Il can hit the new ball farther with
the midiron than the woods
Il have had to change my entire
swing trying 10 play as well with the
new ball as the old"
you need more clubs in your bag
now"
you have to use heavier clubs than
with the old ball You are likely to
meet the ball too quickly: that's bad"
You have to hit the ball solidly or
YOU are in a bad way. You generally
escaped heavy penalty if you didn't hit
the old ball squarely. But no such luck
with the new one
If professionals can raise such OBJ
iections what, then. is the reaction OF
the high handicap player? The duf1er
may get along nicely on a calm day,
but when a wind is blowing his troubles
start. But in imposing the new ball on
the golfer the U. S. G. A. did not guar
antee control of the winds.
No complaints would have been made
by John Dub if the U. S. G. A. had
been satisfied to make the big ball
obligatory only in its tournaments.
Fellows playing in the national open
and amateur probably could give par a
good battle playing with toy balloons.
But John Dub no longer can use the
old, smaller and heavier ball and he is
getting little pleasure out of seeking
the new missile and seeing it curl into
the rough or hop 100 yards or so and
then put on the brakes.
The thrill of an occasional long shot
with the old ball was the thrill of the
game to the average golfer. Perhaps

Listening Post
> BY Walter TrumbulI.

NE of the classic stories of the
4 ring was written by Jack
London. He called it "A Piece
of Steak"
When Tommy Loughran boxed Wit
torio Sampolo, little while ago, that
story came to mind. Not that Tommy
Is any veteran in point of years, but he
is in ring wisdom. Loughran has
boxed most of the good ones and there
are few angles of the art of leather
pushing that he doesn't know.
The veteran expends his strength
only when he sees his opening. At all
other times he is a conservationist. In
the Loughran- Campolo bout, the end
OF almost every round found Tommy
where he had only to bend his nees
to sit down in his corner for the rest
period. 1t was Campolo who always
had to walk the width of the ring.
Let us suppose that LOughran saved
only three seconds a round by those
tactics. although sometimes he must
have gained a second or two more.
Three seconds per round for 10 rounds
Is 80 seconds. That means Tommy had
half a minutes rest that Campolo
didn't get In a 20-foot ring, it also
means that Campolo walked at least
200 feet that Loughran didn't walk.
His nation matters not bit,
And neither does his name.
But tell us il the man can hit,
And Whether he is game.
DAN MORGAN, the veteran who
- managed Knockout Brown, Jack
Britton and many another boxing
star, is very strong for Max Schmelirg
He thinks Schmeling is the most
dangerous heavyweight in the ring to-
day. He says that he is strong, fast,
and game and that he can hit and
can take it. He also says that the
German has that quality known rs
"class" which is apparent in all real
champions.
Dan Morgan has taken heavy
weight in charge. His name is Lou
Rarbee. Lou is not a brand new
article as he has been fighting more
or less for several seasons, but Morgan
says he has not been properly handled
and has great hopes of him.
Dan says that the trouble with the
present day heavyweightS is that the
only things they know how to Go ire
to eat and to sit down. Sometimes,
Wnen Jne gong rings Lney TAKE IL 1oI
the dim err bell and Immediately sit
down. II is almost impossible to ad-
wise them of their mistake inside OF
10 seconds.
Dan says that is why you see so
many heavyweights sitting on The floor
of rings all over the country. He Is
very confident he can teach Lou Barbee
to stand up.
Morgan also has many good words to
say for a middleweight whose name is
joey La Gray. La Gray must have
talent, because Tammany Young also
has spoken we'll of him Tammany
Young is most particular about the
artists he recommends, SO joey should
know something of the art of boxing

The Eastern Front.
THE pennant war in the American
l. League has been maSSed again on
the Eastern front, where 1t Is sure
to be decided.
If any one is to halt the Athletics it
will be Yankees or Senators, and they
have only outside chances.
The Mack machine that has been
biting on all cylinders through pennant
races and world series for two years
looks just as good as it ever looked. and
maybe tride better. Grove and Earn
shaw have proved that all the pitching
they did last year was beneficial, rather
than harmful. And they worked, one
way and another, in more than 80 ball
games.
Joe Mccarthy and Walter johnson
have been sending their hired men
along at fast clip and have gotten
the limit from their material. But this
Athletic team Is something out of the
ordinary as long as it is willing to
hustle. The one thing that can stop
it will be injuries or overconfidence.
McGraw's Bid for One More.
WITH ten remnants under his belt
w John j. McGraw is now pointing
his Giants in the general direc-
ton OF another flag. He still has the
Cubs and Cardinals to reckon with and
possibly other rivals, but his Giants
have been moving at fast clip with
much better pitching than they have
known in years.
No small part Of this pitching i'm
provement is due to Chief Bender, the
old Athletic star who happened TO-, be
one of the wiSest that ever stepped on
any mound. The chief knows his stuff
all the way through and the results
have already shown since the season
opened.
The Giants, in addition to sound
pitching, have the hitting strength and
one Of the star infelds of base ball,
Terry and Jackson, who have no SUI
periors. They have a good outfield and
they are chockful of confidence.
1t has been Is years now since Nc
Graw and Mack had their last duel and
the Giant leader would like one more
argument with his ancient rival. Since

The Best Job.
THE best job in base ball to date
i belongs to Bill McKechnie and his
Braves. From being chronic tall
enders, or at least challengers for the
subway route. they have moved up into
polite base ball society with the most
improved cast base ball has seen in
years.
McKechnie has one of the best pitch
ing STATS now working at the trade,
and a good team to match his pitching.
Brandt, Seibold and others have more
than held their own. Brandt. with
six winning starts, is one Of the best
of the budding year.
McKechnie has done a great job In
Boston, just as he did in Pittsburgh
and ST. Louis before they cut him
adrift The Braves are on their way,
and Boston at last, after wandering so
many years in the wilderness now sees
the promised land in sight once more.
II Has To Be.
IN REPLY to numerous queries on the
i subject, the coming Schmeling-
Stribling contest in Cleveland is
regarded by the majority as a cham
pionship affair. Schmeling was
awarded the title by the Muldoon-Tun
ney Commission, the New York State
Boxing Commission and this verdict
was supported by the remainder of the
boxing commissions.
A title, once awarded, can be lost
only in competition. Schmeling will re-
main the title-holder until he is
beaten.
