REGARDING CHANGE
Armour One Not to Approve.
Hagen Feels All Players
Will Be Helped.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer,

n JEW YORK, September Is
y The United States Golf
4 Associations decision to
replace the balloon ball"
with one Of greater weight, has
failed to arouse any unanimous
expression Of approval from lead
ing amateurs and professionals.
A poll of a score or more of top
Hight players reveals an almost even
division of opinion as to the wisdom of
the change which will bring into play
on April Is, 1882, ball of the present
diameter, l.68 inches, but of heavier
weight. The U. S. Ct. A. has not yet
determined the exact weight of the new
ball, but there have been indications
that it will weigh l.62 ounces, the same
rs the sphere that was in play before
the balloon ball" made its appearance
the first of this year. The balloon
bali weighs 1.55 ounces.
One of the most ardent supporters of
the balloon BALI has been Tommy
Armour, British open champion. Ar
mour believes the present ball is the
greatest contribution that has been
made to the game" and added that he
was sorry to see the ball changed"
Sees Pros as Favored.
Horton Smith thought the latest
change would make the game all the
easier for the professionals, but that
the duffer would find plenty Of trouble
with it.
1T will be harder to get of the
ground for one thing" said Smith. and
I feel it will respond TO a hard blow
much more sensitively than does the
present ball"
Willie Klein agreed with Smith and
Ed Dudley said he had heard that ex-
periments with a ball of the same size
the ball floats and ducks badly"
Among leading woman players, Mrs
Helen Payson CorSon said she did not
like the contemplated change, on the
ground that 1t would rob woman play
ers of lots of distance.
On the other side of the fence were
Walter Hagen, Leo Diegel, Willie Mac
farlane. Gene Sarazen, Jess Sweetser,
Chick Evans, Jock Hutchinson and Gene
Romans.
Hagen thought the increase in weight
would help star and duffer." and
Diegel thought the combination of the
present size and the old weight, If de-
cided upon would be perfect" Sarazen
enthusiastically approved the change
ana suggested 1urtn6r CIldC players DS
given the option of playing any weight
ball between 1.55 and 1852 ounces.
SweetSer Likes Change.
Sweetser favoring the change, sug-
gested further that fields in major
Championships play balls made possibly
by one manufacturer and tested for
distance Romans chief cause for sat
isfaction was that the additional weight
would make the ball easier to play in
the wind Maureen circuit was chief
among the woman proponents of the
change. saying she would prefer almost
any ball to the one now in use.
1t remained for Wild Bill Mehlhorn
to come through with the most philo-
sophical comment:
u don't care what they make us
play" he said, 80 long as we all play
the same ball"
DR.. o. F. Willing. Portland, Greg,
said he thought a bit of added weight
would make the balloon ball a great
ball.

today'S first round of match
play in the championship tournament
OF the Professional Golfers Association

Tommy Armour, the defending cham

rounds Of 70 and 70 yesterday in quail
flying play.
Walter Hagen, P. G. A. champion
Ave times, was down to match strokes
with Pete O'Hara of Verona. Pa, and
the draw was none too lenient with
former champions, Leo Diegel of De-
troit and Gene Sarazen, who captured
yesterdays medal with rounds of 70
and u for a 36-hole total of l45.
Dlegel was drawn against Bill Mehl-
norm and Sarazen against AL Espinosa

Of the draw pitted him against Dave
Hackney of Lowell Mass.
Prior to the start Of match play
Johnny Farrell and Eddie Miller of
GadSden. Ala, had to determine which

rival, in the first round Of match play
yesterday, Holzberg met William E.

day.
Holzberg turned on considerable heat
yesterday to beat Gardiner finishing
the match with a brace Of birdie Is TO
beat his opponent. Holzberg was ! up
playing the sixteenth hole. and nearly
scored an ace on the sixteenth, when
his ball rolled just past the lip of the
cup and left him an easy putt for the
two, which he holed. Then to further
embarrass Gardiner. HolZberg drove the
seventeenth green from the lower tee
and rolled In an 8-foot putt for his

Billy Shannon needed 4 on the last

Jack Powell. who won the champion

The urgent pleas of Darcy Banagan
drew out nearly 80 youngsters for the
tourney, ranging from little Karl Corby,
9-year-old juvenile, to the big A. S.

around 200 pounds. Herbert T. Shan
non, jr., and Wimbar Gardiner, brother
of A. s.. put on show late yesterday
that drew most of the interest from
the semi-finaliSts. Playing in the third
flight they came to the last hole all

barely as tall as his driver. placed his
third shot on the green to tie with
Gardiner, who outweighs him by more
than 100 pounds. Gardiner rolled his
fourth shot down close to the hole, lay
ing Shannon a stymie which the 49,
year-old kid nearly negotiated Then
they went TO the nineteenth, where
Gardiner won with 7, after they had
recapitulated the score and finally de-
cided that Gardiner had holed out in
one stroke less than Shannon At that
the youngster holed a 6-footer for his 8.

golf did not then specify the exact
weight, John .. Duffer may be sure he
will at Least have the old weight Of ] 90
in ounces back with him. The new
sphere will be q compromise, in fact, but
compromise that will meet with the
approval OF many thousands OF golfers
throughout the land, for the 1.68 size
ball sits up we'll on the fairway and
with the old weight Of 1852 ounces 1t
will bore through wind a little better
and roll into the cup little more often
than the present ball weighing SIS
ounces and being 1853 inches in size
But we can go further than that
The new golf ball already has made its
appearance around Washington. For
several weeks past there has been avail
able to professionals golf ball made in
the 1852 weight and the 1853 size, even
though the United States Golf ASso-
citation did not positively decide upon
the new weight until the association
met at the amateur championship at
Chicago two weeks ago. 1t will be a
popular ball and should stabilize the
golf ball situation for many years TO
come.
NEARLY every professional and
Y assistant pro around Washington
is planning to play In the Mary
land open championship at SO holes
medal play at the Congressional Coun-
try Club on September IS. But even
though all OF the eligible ones are keen
to play, they are not 50 keen about the
rate charged by the Maryland State
Golf Association to enter the tourney
An entry fee Of $40 is to be charged to
professionals and assistants, while
amateurs and greenkeepers will be
charged IS entry fee The tourney
is to be open only to amateurs, profess
SIGNALS and greenkeepers associated with
clubs which are members OF the Mary
land State Association and only
amateurs with State handicap cards
will be eligible to compete.
This means that very few Washing
ton amateurs will play, for compare
lively few Of them have obtained State
Association handicap cards. 1t also
means that players from the Washing
ton Golf and Country Club and the
Army-Navy Club will not be eligible to
enter and that Mel Shorey, who holds
down the professional berth at East Po-
tomac Park, will not be allowed to play.
The tournament will have quite a pot
OF gold in it. for the present under
standing Is that the association Is to
lay 1000 on the line for the boys to
shoot at. Which is considerable money
in any language. II the notes are backed
by the United States Treasury.
