Great Stretch Battle Due
With 20 Pros BunChed.

BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A UGUSTA, Ga, March "a
n Bobby Jones faced a task
~ today that would have
4 n tested his smile and cour-
age even in his reigning years
as emperor of golf, that of over
taking professional rivals who
hold advantages of from one to
eight strokes.
With half the masters invitation
battle done, Jones finds himself in no
better than tWenty-eighth position, far
behind the leading Horton Smith and
below most of his professional oppo-
nents of former days.
Erratic putting in the opening
rounds sent Jones scores high, offset
his fine play through the fairways and
forced him to post rounds of 76-74-
$50.
Excluding his performances around
the green, Bobby's comeback has
been successful for his long game has
been near perfect, but inability to
regain his former putting stroke and
the consequent errors have all but
pushed him out of the running. Bobby
needed two good rounds today and
Sunday to get up among the leaders
and a pair of marvellous exhibitions
to stand any chance of winning. Curl
ously the one man who now holds the
widest margin over Jones is Horton
Smith, the youngster who gave Bobby
his last defeat in the Spring of 1880
before the grand slam" march was
on. Smith played par closely yester-
day for 70 after his opening 10 for

Keeps Tension in Ball.

UNTIL Harry Davis came along
" three years ago with a scheme
for regaining the tension by lit
orally pumping up the core from
within, they couldn't do ANYTHING
about it. Davis and Monro Hunter
worked together on the needed" ball
in the Fall Of 1881, and with this
pumped-up pellet Hunter was able to
get from 10 to Is yards more distance.
But he Is hard hitter. The ordinary
player who cannot hit the ball as
hard as Hunter with his 6la feet Of
height, and his long arms, still OBJ
tanned more distance with the
needed" sphere.
Since that time experiments have
been in progress on pumping I'D the
ball from within the core to regain
the stretch of the rubber windings.
and have succeeded to the extent that
the ball is to be produced CONNER
clally this year and will become the
most advertised line of one of the
worlds biggest golf ball manufactu-
rers. Davis used from l 900 to 1900

ton of making golf courses to fit the
expanding length of the ball. The
U. S. G. A. tried back in 1881 to reg
ulate the distance a golf ball may be
driven by introducing the balloon"
type of that year. But II didn't last
long. A storm of protest beat about
the ears of the national governing golf
body with the result that a longer
ball now has become the standard.
And now comes the needed" ball,
longer than ever, and still conforming
in weight and size to the official golf
ball specifications. Where will it all
end?
The idea back in 1881 was that
some standardization of the ball was
needed to check the vast expenditure

Wings Defense Is Tight.

THE Red Wings proved their abil-

shooters, when by close check
ing, tight defensive work and the
brilliance of their previously un-
tried goalie.. Wifi Cude, they limited
Toronto to one goal, scored while De-
troit was short handed. 1t seems
highly improbable. however, that such
snipers as Chuck Conacher, Joe
Primeau and Busher Jackson can be
kept away from the net indefinitely.
Chicago's great defense combination
led by Goalie Chuck Gardiner and big
Lionel Conacher, appears to have a
comparatively easy task in protecting
a one-goal lead against the Canadiens
The Maroons- Ranger tilt remains a
toss-up. especially in view of the
Rangers poor showing in late season
games. There is strong possibility,
however. that in the money game the
