Outcry Goes On

., Meanwhile, there is reason to be- neVe that an overwhelming protest aRalhSt the arger-Iighter hall is being hled with the golf body. country clubs have been sending blanket announcements of inc mel. let to the U. s. G. A. at the rate of TWO or three week. The bulk of the disapprOval of the new bolJ comes from the average golfers whom Inc new ball was designed to benefit. "s"
 me change was fostered, un- aerstand' to slow up the sharks" Wno were making golf courses throughout the country q joke by payihs them in a half dozen s.rokes under par, and to make thihes easier for the player who was trying to break 100. As a fact. the new ball has worked out just opposite to the purpose for which IL was designed. Average players ana duffers have been loudly against IL, while the pros have sWlftly adapted themselves to the changes 1t necessitated in style of play.
 When the U. s. c. A. and manu- Iacturers convene in Chicago, there may be an announcement of a change. This view is supported by the fact that the new ball cannot be standardized internationally, the Royal and Ancient refusing to ac- cept 1t as official. While the Royal and Ancient does not ban the new ball, and suffers 1t to be played throughout Great Britain, 1t will not demand that the golfers use it.

New York, July 3O.--Al Pierotti, who used to be professi onal pitcher, will need his fast ball to- night and plenty of control For he Is facing the clean-up hitter of the Curley batting order, one Jim LOndOs, on the mat at tho Coney Island NclodrOmc. The arrogant Athenian never fails in the clutch and there is no reason to believe he is going to fan tonight and spoil his perfect batting average.
 Londos will Wrcstle Pierotti for the benefit of the Eldridge Street Day Nursery in another one of those title bouts which clutter up the weekly schedule of the Curley The worthy nature of the cause, coupled with the draw ing power of Londos, is expected to lure close to 10000 into the Coney soup plate.
 TWo-Ton Kalmikof, the Soviet fve-ycar plan, will grapple and squeal with George Calza in the semi-final. In addition, Hans Steinke locks with Earl McCready, Hcrbic Freeman tackles Taro Mi yaki and Sandor Szabo swaps fa- cials with Jack Reynolds.
 sammy Stein and long-legged Willie Davis are down for the fea- ture bout tonight at the New York VelodrOme up in the Wilds of the "Bronnix." Gino Garibaldi, the good looking spaghetti inhaler, and Vanka Zelesniak will turn cart wheels and build pyramids in the other leading number of the card.

Won't Buy Old One

MT Ramsay's statement was in terpreted to mean that duffcrs throughout the country who have been screaming against the new ball will have to play it this year or to buy the old balls from their prOfessi onals. 1t is said that the pros have thousands of the old 1.62-1.G2 balls but that the run-of- mine golfers, while they are vocif- erous in their Announcement of the new 155-1.68 pellet, continue to buy the latter and there is no de- mand for the old ball.
 When the amateur cham pionship tournament is held In Chicago this fall, Mr Ramsay told me, officials Of the U. $. G. A. will meet with thc manufacturers and go over carefully the testimony for and against the new "ballOon" ball. The manufacturers had no part in changing the balls size and weight. They are making the new larger lighter ball in cooperation with the golf association.
 There will be no change fin golf ball specifications this year, said Julian Curtiss, head of Spald- : lh8s, one of the leading manufac- turers of golf balls. "I am no booster of the new ball myself. but It IS our aim to give the golfers what they prefer. We are making the new ball at the suggestion of the golf association, which repre- sehts the vast majority of golfers. We are perfectly willing to make any kind of ball the players de- sire"

TUFFY CRIFFITHS TO BOX RETZLAFF:
 AL SINGER HURT
Popular Duluth Embalmer to Show at Greensboro Aug 25-FOrmer Light- weight Champ Frac- lures Hand

New York, July 3G--Having defi- nitely established himself as a fighter and hot favorite locally, as result of his knockout victories over Ralph Ficucello and Mateo Osa, Charley Retzlaff, through his mentor, Jack Hurley, yesterday accepted terms to meet Tuffy Grif- filth at the Greensboro Stadium on August 25.
 In agreeing to show his charge at the Long Island City swat em- porium for Al (Vest) We'll, Hur- ley agreed to take on besides Grif- filth, Jimmy Maloney, Jose Santa, Stanley Poreda and few others of that type to show that he isn't selecting any soft ones for the likely-1ooking Duluth "embalmer."
 Weill conferred with Jack O'Keefe, manager of Griffith last night and is expecting definite word to-day. Meanwhile Al inti- mated strongly that he has the match seewed up. The Vest King figures that if Tuesday nights show netted a few dollars less than $20,000, a Retzlaff- Griffith will do better than 30 grand.
 Hurley has agreed to show Retz- laff at the Greensboro Stadium every second or third week. if necessary He is also anxious to get Victoria Campolo into the ring with his protege.
 Maxie Rosenbloom takes excep- ton to the methods employed by Promoter Jimmy Johnston to com pei him to train for his title match with Jimmy Slattery at Ebbets Field next Wednesday night. Max wider last night that he has been training secretly the past 10 days in vacant night clubs.
 Al Singer yesterday Indefinitely postponed his engagement with Eddie (CannonbalD Martin sched- uled at the Coney Island stadium tomorrow night as a result of a fractured hand he sustained in training. Singer will be out of harness at least three weeks.

Genaro, for q little fellow of 112 pound heft hits unusually hard and is plenty clever, which means that Jackie Harmon will have 10 have his defense clicking on all cylin- derB, if he is to escape a beating. However, 1t must be said in his favor that he has trained faithfully and long enough to be right for his big opportunity. On form, Genaro figures 10 win handlly, but many q title has changed hands on a punch.
 Here's the Scrap
 Should Battling Archie be able to continue his sensational punch ing against Jimmy Sullivan, south ern middleweight champion, there's plenty of pork chops and water melon ahead for the 13 year old colored boy. In the short space of four bouts he has hattened three opponents with one punch, Joe Elm mons, Marty Sampson and Milt Sample of North Adams going down and out the first time they were clipped in the opening round. Archie Is really promising pros pect, but he will be beating some one if he can hang q k.o. on the cleVef, courageous, hard WallOplnS Sullivan who is pleasant sight in any clubs boxing ring. The Irish CT can hit plenty hard on his own account, and is about as shifty as they come. The bout is a great one from every angle.
 Six Round Special
 Two able lightweights will hook Up in six rounder which is more than apt to produce few fstic fireworks of the popular brand. Romeo Dubois, the New Haven parlez-vous kid under the pater- nal wing of Wee Willie Higgins is down for an interesting go with Billy Champncy of Worcester. Two four round bouts will start off pro- ceedings in fine style with such biff- bang boys as Andy Strong, Will lie Bush and Vic Carlson paired up. strong meets Pete Supina of Hartford and 1t might be said in passing that Pete better be on his game--or else. Bush and Carlson are sure to throw enough gloves to satisfy as the Terryvillc Terror is just the type that will make Bush go the limit.

What Causes One to Sky a ball?

Teeing q ball too high is often the cause of Gkying. Improper weight shifting or pivoting also can cause it.
 If one does not shift the weight properly too much weight is kept on the right leg and the shoulder drops. One hits the ground, spoil ing the shot entirely. Get the weight over and onto the left leg as the doWnswing is started.
 The club should hit the ball when 1t Is at the lowest point of the arc. If the ball is hit on the up-stroke the pitch of the club is greater and the ball can only go in the direc- tion it is hit.
 shift the weight properly and keep the left shoulder up a bit. This will surely cure skying. One must remember to keep the eye on the ball or topping will result

Jack Hargrave, colored curve ball artist of the Bell Cityites, op- posed Basta and was nicked for but seven hits, but was rather wild, walking six batters and hitting two more. Basta twirled like veteran and struck out IS of the visitors. The colored boy limited the win ners to three hits until the last inning when he blew up allowing four runs to be pushed across the plate.
 Fine Support
 The Bridgeporters gave their ace excellent support and got him out of two tight places which almost prevented him from entering the enviable hall of fame. Hassoffsky and Sol Cagganiello. the lads who proved thorns in the sides of the Brooklyn Indies last year, led the attack on Hargrave with two hits apiece. The score:
