Espey took 10-pin lead over
Jack by shooting a skinny 551

dramatic strike and spare in the
ninth and tenth frames of the
final game to take the lead.

NEW
GOLF BALL

Several members of the Beaver
Dam Country Club, dissatisfied
with the new golf ball, have
started a movement for the club
to adopt an arbitrary rule per
mitting the use of the old or
new ball in all its tournaments.
Favorable action by the golf
committee on this subject is un-
likely as the rules of the United
States Golf Association must OBJ,
tain in all tournaments. Local
rules have priority only in re-
CARDS to out-of-bounds, ground
under repair, etc.
Not every member of Beaver
Dam is opposed to the new ball.
For one, Paul Gerard, has
words of praise for the new
sphere.
Gerard is of a retiring nature,
not often commenting about his
game but lending an attentive
ear to what others say. He played
Beaver Dam last Sunday, going
18 holes in the rain and using
the new ball. AS he trudged
into the clubhouse, thoroughly
drenched, one of the members
asked if he had any difficulty
with the new ball. Gerard re-
piled:
cit answers the purpose
better than the old ball be-
cause 1 can hit it better and
putt easier with it. Also, 1 get
more exercise playing the new
ball."
