N 7 EW YORK, June 16.-Al
M Singer, former lightweight
i Y champion Of the world,
returns to the ring against
Lew Massey of Philadelphia to-
morrow night. This is the first
Of a series Of contests arranged
for AL with a view to bringing
him back to the top of the heap.
Singer Is the successor Of Benny
Leonard as the greatest Jewish light
weight drawing card the big city has
ever known, and it would never do to
let him pass from the ring without at
least giving him the benefit of doubt.
AL has been accused of taking the
easy way out in several important
matches, including his three-round
knockout at the hands of Jimmy Nc
Larnin and the one-round knockout by
Tony Canzoneri. Singer made a great
fight against McLarnin for two rounds.
Then Jimmy got over the haymaker. as
he has done to many topnotch boys, and
ringsiders thought AIS neck was broken
when he went to the floor. It Is no
disgrace to lose to McLarnin.
Not Ready for Canzoneri.
AL was not right for the Canzoneri
fight. He had not fully recovered from
the McLarnin knockout. If Al lost any
prestige by being knocked out by Cam
zoneri, then the same must be said
about Jackie kid" Berg who lost via

present ball as standard. Now IL
another change Is made the manu-
facturers will sustain a further loss
and they will not take that without
some protest.
Opposition to the balloon ball is
mere serious than the U. S. G. A.
may be willing to admit. Great
Britain will have none of the new
ball and it is patent the American
duffer does not want it. AS the
governing body of American golf
the U. S. q. A. soon must give Of
dcial cogntzance to the protests
against the ball and offer some solu-
ton or prove itself the supersales-
man Of all time and convince several
millions OF golfers that the big ball
is just the thing they need.

ment against the new or
balloon golf ball appears to
be increasing rapidly, az
cording to tat good old-fashioned
barometer of public opinion-the
straw vote. Referendums held by
newspapers in varicrs golf centers
indicate that the larGer and lighter
ball has very few friends, most of
them in hiding, and is nothing short
Of pestilence.
The fact that star professionals
and amateurs are able to score as
well with the new ball as the old has
made little or no impression on the
average club player. In fact, the
stars success Is a goad in the side
of the duffer and led che irate Far
Western player to point out In a
lengthy letter that the professional
and star amateur formed only q
small percentage of the millions
PLAYING the game, and that the ma
jority are being penaliZed in favor
Of minority.
Taere is no question that Ameri-
can rolfers are becom.ng more
and more opposed to tfe new ball
each week. They accepted the ball
with misgivings, but upon the rec
concentrations. Of the U. S. G. A.
were willing to give it trial.
Low scoring by the pros during the
Winter season almost convinced
thousands that perhaps the larger
ball would play as easily as the cid
smaller and heavier one. But after
a two-month, hand-to-hand combat
with the big ball the rank and file Of
the buffers are convinced they do
not like it.
However, there Is not much the
U. S. G. A. can Immediately do about
the situation even if it were willing
to listen to the buffers cries. There
is the golf ball manufacturers side
to consider. The manufacturers,
who were well satisfied with the con-
of the old ball, were

SATISFACTORY TO BERLIN.
Report Fell Short OF Large Minded So

luton, bFuenlnS declares.
BERLIN, December "a (R.-The
German governments official reaction
to the report of the Young Plan Com
mittee at Basel was voiced in statements
by Chancellor Bruening and Finance
Minister Hermann Dietrich.
The chancellor said that taking into
consideration what was expected Of
the committee the result could be called
satisfactory, although it fell short OF
being a large-minded solution Of the
finance problem.
Voicing the German point Of view,
Herr Dietrich said:
First, the Young plan has been out
distanced by events. 1t rested on prem
ises which failed to materialize. Sec
ond, these premises had the props taken
from under them by the TACT that tAf
States with which Germany has trace
relations. and to whom the signatories
of the plan chiefly belong, acted in their
trade policies oppositely to what they
should have done according to the
meaning Of the plan"
Instead of enabling Germany to
make payments through the export OF
goods, which constituted the only pos
sibility for meeting payments, they
rendered these payments Impossible by
raising import duties and prohibiting
imports
Third, a situation has arisen which
was unforeseen by the Young plan and
hence measures outside the possibilities
of the plan become necessary.
Fourth, if measures to restore con-
fidence and re-establish orderly inter-
national exchange of goods are not
adopted, the consequences will be ca
tastrophic not only for all the CONNER
cial nations of Europe, but also for the
countries across the seas"
Chancellor Bruening said he thought
the next step would be new agreement
regarding frozen credits, on which con-
ferences will be resumed next week. In
those negotiations, he said, the limits
imposed on the Advisory Committee are
not operative and the bankers are able
to deal with the situation as single
problem.

LONDON. December 24-It will be a
miracle, says the Financial Times, II
Britain is able to shoulder her Ameri-
can debt payments next year after
the close Of the Hoover Moratorium. The

fact at once and for European debtors
to say with one voice to America that

editorial said.
That does not mean complete
repudiation, but it does mean a definite
refusal any longer to comply with the
terms of the debt agreements unless
and until these are so varied as to
make them tolerable.
1t is not pleasant to have to say
these things. But it is far better both
for ourselves and the world. America
herself by no means excluded. that
We should face up to the realities and
take the lead in saying at once what
every competent authority both in
Europe and in America knows must
inevitably be said very soon"

suggested by the Financial Times has

LONDON, December "a (P).-The
Importance attached by London news

type used, but there was very little
comment on the committees report.

of which came too late for comment
yesterday morning.
The Times merely pointed out that
the Basel report goes to the World Bank
and the governments concerned and
will be the text for discussions at the
coming international conference on
reparations. For this reason, it said,
the outlook for this conference is more
promising than it has been.
Selecting the outstanding points of
the report, the News Chronicle said:
"A catastrophe is inevitable II these
questions are not now treated by the var
ious governments in the light of eco
