Why They Differ.
seemingly anomalous situa'


THIS seemingly anomalous situa-
ton comes about because Of the
difference in the winding of the
cores of golf balls and the difference
In the thickness Of the covers. The
cheaper balls, which bounce higher
in the golf shop, are wound with less
tension on the rubber thread which
incloses the core. They respond faster
to . soft blow, but their response Ia
not carried as far into the center of
the ball; they do not have the kick of
the better grade Of ball Furthermore,
the cover Of a cheap ball is thicker
and heavier than the cover OF q
better-grade ball. The 75-cent ball
sounds harder when bounced on q
pavement or tiled floor and does not
respond as fast, but the driver test
tells the story. When the driver meets
the cheap ball the compression Of the
sphere extends only through a few lay
ers Of the rubber windings When
the driver cracks the better ball the
blow travels through more windings,
under greater tension, and the COM
pressibility is thereby greater than In
the cheap ball, making the rebound
correSpondingly greater. That &C.
counts for the extra distance obtained
with the better grade Of golf ball and
explains why the bounce test Is use
less. The soft blow Of the bounce test
readily congresses the relatively loose
ly wound threads on the cheaper
sphere, but 1t takes more of q wallop
to make much Of an impression on the
tightly wound threads OF the better
grade Of ball. With the same amount
Of force impaired in the same plane
Of club-head travel, as on the driving
machines used by all the manufac-
turers, the difference in distance be-
tween the cheaper ball and the 75-cent
sphere is about Is yards in carry and
much more In general liveliness and
In roll.

INFERIOR SPHERE

More SolidIy Built Pill Re-
acts Better When Banged
With Club.
BY w. h McCALLUM.

DI w. ~ mcSAASUms
~ I'D you know that the bounce
test Is applied to golf balls
- is misleadins'
That Q cheap ball Of the
50-cent variety will outbounce the
better grade Of ball?
That the bounce test, comparing
the bounce Of . S0-cent ball and
one Of the better grade, on . hard
pavement, gives exactly the opposite
result as that obtained when they
are struck by q golf club? That the
cheaper ball will bounce higher than
the better-grade ball? And that the
bounce test Is worthless as q yard
stick to judge the relative resiliency
Of golf balls?
For years golfers have been bounc-
ing golf balls on hard surfsces, drop
ping them from heights Of 4 or S feet
and choosing the one which bounces
the highest. No test could be more
misleading as to the actual merit in
play Of two golf balls. The bounce
test should be given q reverse twist
when it comes to the question Of
purchase, for the ball which bounces
lowest usually will be found to be the
best golf ball on the course.
So far the manufacturers have
neglected the education OF the golf
ing public in this matter, but it Is
high time that some smart maker Of
golf balls took the publicity bull by
the horns and adopted a series Of
slogans telling John J. Public that
the ball which bounces highest in
the golf shop doesn't go as far on the
course as the ball with less bounce.
Something like this: High bounce
in the golf shop means less bounce on
the fairway'; or, Let your driver do
the bounce test" or, Bounce 1t on
the pavement and it Will kounce you
on the course

PHYSICIAN KILLS
 WIFE, HIMSELF
Famous Specialist Uses Knife From Collection
 to Commit Tragedy

New York, December 12-(UP) - Dr Harmon Smith, nationally known ear, nose, and throat specialist, and his wife had pleasant time at dinner last night, then they retired to the doctors study where Smith killed her, then killed himself.
 Police today recorded their deaths definitely as murder and suicide, but could establish no mo- tive. Smith not only was wealthy, but was famous. One of his hob bies was collecting rare knives and daggers. An item from thls collection served as Lethal weapon.
 Evidence in the luxuriously fit ted study in the basement of thelr four-story Manhattan mansion ln- dicated that Mrs Smith died will- ingly. Her body was face up on couch, the feet braced on the floor. A thin blade hunting knife had been inserted downward through her left ear into the throat where 1t severed the jugular vein. It was the work of an expert surgeon.
 Smiths coat and vest hung on the back of the chair in front ot his desk. He was stretched out on the floor, his shirt collar open. He first had stabbed himself with the hunting knife, but when death was not instantaneous, he plunged a rare, antigue Poniard into his heart.
 The servant who found the bod ies had, an hour before, served dinner. MT and Mrs Smith were laughing, enjoying the usual table talk of man and woman long mar ried.
 Smith was 62 years old, former president of the American Laryn- gological Society, author of number of text books on the Near, nose, and throat widely used i'll medical schools, surgeon and dlrec- tor of the Manhattan Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat hospital, and con sultant at a half dozen other insti- tutions. He was formerly profes- sor of Iarynogology at Cornell Unl- versity Medical College, fellow of the American College of Sur, geons, and of numerous medic2i and fraternal organizations. lie received an honorary dcEtor or science degree in 1922 from the University of Georgia where ne was graduated in 1892.
 Mrs Smith was AZ. Thelr son. Harmon Smith, Jr, is student III a preparatory school.

 Ut appeared to be travelling not more than 100 feet from the ground" Holmes said. "1t lighted up the entire countryside.
