Chicago Cubs apparently have add
ed strength in trading Catcher Earl
Grace and cash to the Pittsburgh
Pirates for catcher Ralston Hens

this season.
Recently Hemsley displeased the
Pittsburgh management by over
staying a leave of absence, and was

We have heard much discussion
about the new golf ball, and several
players have told us they still are
seeking to buy all the cid balls they
can get. Playing golf according to
the rules, means more than count
ing the strokes taken and the
penalties incurred. 1t means to use
the equipment prescribed by the
Western or the United States Golf
Associations. The u. S. G. A. has
set out the new sized ball as the
official ball and that ball must be
used in all tournaments. Local clubs
are taking the opportunity now and
others will follow shortly OF setting
out that the new ball must be used
in all club tournaments as we'll as in
championships. There are argu-
mentS for the new ball just as there
are against it, and the average
golfer finds his score just about the
same, We have learned.
