"Quick, Watson, the Needle"
ling! Shot Golf Ball Goes
Crazy and Farther Off Tee

THERES something new in golf
balls under the golflng sun
With the new official ball
already advertised for sale In
Washington by one who beat the gun
on most Of the big manufacturers,
Harry K. B. Davis, who dabbles in golf
club construction and now has turned
his talents to research in golf balls, has
evolved a new scheme that may result
In q change In the method Of manu-
facture Of the spheres that cause so
much trouble throughout the bunkered
world.
Believing that the tension on the
core of golf balls is not uniform and
that therefore they do not all have the
same resiliency or driving power, Davis
has thought out method Of equalizing
the tension and making it whatever
tension and weight is wanted.
The process is simplicity itself He
takes a common hypodermic needle,
punctures the cover. the rubber wind
ing and the liquid-fllled core and then
introduces, under considerable pressure,
the quantity of water desired. The
core automatically seals itself, from the
pressure eXerted on it by the tight rub
Der windings. and he can transform an
ordinary ball into one that may be
driven much farther than the standard
ball.
He can raise the weight and raise
the tension simply by introducing
water into the core under pressure
Samples of the "doctored" golf balls
are now in the hands of Bob Barnett.
the Chevy Chase pro, who finds that
these in which the pressure has been
lifted do go farther than the undoc-
tored spheres.
Rumor has it that Davis has sold
his method 10 one OF the big golf baII
manufacturers, ana tcat before long
We may be able to go into the profess

sired weight, without waiting for the
manufacturers to meet the require
ments OF the individual player.

CERTAINLY the most elusive
4 bowling record today is that
to the credit Of Charlie Phil
lips. who. back in 1928, put
together strings of l23, 15S and lSo
for a set of 458. Like giant oak this
mark has stood, while six nights q
week for three years, hundreds OF bowl
ers-s stars, near-stars, dubs - nave
hacked and hewn. The oak has tot
tered and rocked, but never has fallen.
Since Charlie rolled his record
breaking set. perennially he has been
conceded about as much chance OF re-
tanning his mark as the fork-armed
man in the proverbial soupstorm had
of getting rourishment. With the eX-
ception of the single-game record, no
other duckpin record Is attacked more
than Phillips.
IIERE Is another bowling season,
i i now a month old. A season that
finds the cutters raised. A sea-
son with more bowlers than ever; more
better bowlers than ever A season
which, in spite of its youth. has pro-
duced so many 400" sets that they no
longer are regarded as rarities. Yet
Charlie Phillips 458 record still STANDS.
But once again your persistent pin
demonstrators are willing to bet their
bankrolls that Charles record Is no
more safe than the proverbial SNOWFALL
in Hades.
And though those prognosticators,
who wagered their shirts that Charlie
wouldn't sport the high-set title un-
less he himself banged cut more than

Legum's performance last night at
the Columbia, they are sure to flnd
much consolation.
DAVE, who finished third in John

year, blew into town from New
York. where he now is living, and pro-
ceeded to smack out one Of the high

Dawes strings were 1874. III and 159.
But he didn't stop at that. Sam. who,
it might be mentioned, wasn't rolling
against Dave for nothing, was glut-

REDS MOVE |RKED
| NEW CH|SOX BOSS
Hurt by Transfer to Pills,
but Accepted Fate and
Rose to Stardom.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

N yEW YORK, OcCODer 10
M Change of managers by
4 Y the Chicago White Sox
was foreshadowed last
Summer. It was stated then that
DOME Bush would not continue as
manager of the club in 1882. His
resignation and the appointment
of Lew FonSeca as manager for the
next two years are radical moves
to attempt to get the White Sox
out of last place.
Fonseca's career has brought him
many bitter disappointments. one OF
which almost retired him from base
ball because his pride was hurt. He
was with Cincinnati in the Spring at
Orlando, Fla, when the news reached
him that he had been transferred to
Philadelphia. He resented the change.
He thought it was unjust to him. He
stood in front of the hotel in the beau
tiful little city Of orange groves with
a face that expressed solemnity and
gloom.
Ready to Quit Base Ball.
What is the trouble?"
Been sent away. 1t isn't fair. They
shipped me to a club with which I am
not overanXious to 60 1 did well
enough for Cincinnati to have been
given a better chance than that handed
to me now I am going to quit base
ball"
"Oh, no you amt. Lew" said a Gin
cinnati pitcher you're too good to
quit. You know we all get it once in
a while like this"
II don't care. I don't have to play
ball. This team has chance to do
something, and they're sending me away
through: I quit. I will pack my grip
and 60 back to California"
What will you do out there?' asked
a man who had been in base ball for a
long time.

hand and convinced the melancholy
Fonseca that it would not be well to
Quit major league base ball. Lew took
the train next morning to the Phila-
delphia club.
Lew Knows Game Well.
Now about six years after Fonseca
had threatened to leave base ball for
good re is made manager of the Chi
cago American League club, choice
that was not announced altogether out
of clear sky. 1t had been said that
the next manager might either be Fon-
SEGA or Faber. Perhaps Faber did not
want it. In any event, Fonseca has the
job.
Fonseca has had no managerial ex-
perience. but he knows base ball from
the infield to the outfield and back
again and has some ideas of his own
about the best way in which to handle
pitchers. He can tell good catcher
when he sees one, and players say he
has inspiration oozing out of him and
never believes a ball game ended until
the last ball is thrown.
Some of the young men Of the Chi
cago team who have looked upon base
ball as a two-hour job each day will
find the time clock waiting for them
next season.
