GOOD GOLF BiU KiSh
THE GOLF BALL

The modern golf ball came with the birth of the twen- tieth century. The modern ball has three parts. It con- sists of a core, about 200 yards of rubber thread, and a cover. The rubber thread is wound, under tension, around the core. The two together form what is known as the center" When the center is enclosed in the cover, the golf ball is complete.
 Sounds simple, doesn't it? Yet the sciences of chemistry and ballistics, plus a mechan- ical skill as accurate as the finest watch-makers, have all contributed to the production of a finished golf ball. There are three kinds of cores used in golf balls. The solid rubber core (1) ! which is a ball of rubber about the size of a marble. The soft core (2) which is simply a wide band of rubber punched together. The semi-liquid core (3) a small hollow ball of rubber which is filled with a thick semi-liquid substance.
 The purpose of the core is to form a beginning for the ball--something around which to wind a rubber thread. The tighter this thread is wound the further the ball will car ny. A very tight wound center is known as a high power or compression center. The solid rubber core makes a less re- silent ball. The soft center requires the first winding to be done by hand. Maximum tension cannot be applied un' til : the center is partially built up.

A rule in the by-laws of the St Casimir's Club forbid anybody but Polish descent from playing on any of their athletic teams. while the majority of the players on the Pequots are Polish.
 The Pequits defeated the, Eagles nine last season for the town championship and also defeated some of the outstanding semi-pro hines in the state.

Veteran Evangelist Sees in America a Second Rome
 Slowly Crumbling

Daytona Beach, Flo,-U.P)- Billy Sunday, 72-year-old veteran of the sawdust trail, whose voice has rung out in evangelistic halll for decades in bitter battle ligious laxity, see in America g second Rome. whose grandeur slowly is crumbling.
 Atheistic leaders, dictatoriaI in power, fascistic in policies, are guiding the nation to its ultimate downfall, and an age of American people indifferent to God. moral standards and the ideals of pio- neering forefathers are aiding in the destruction of all that is American, by their passive atti- tude, the evangelist told the United Press to-day.
 "The world is going straight to hell so fast it's breaking the speed limit" the one-time baseball play CT said, placing Russia and Ger many in the van in this mad rush into disaster.
 "The Russian which knew the absolute rule of czarism was a Sunday school compared to the government by Stalin today" he stated
 Germany is little better, and other nations of the world are fol- lowing close behind in the parade into cataclyism. 'In our own coun- try everything's heading toward communism, socialism and fascism - even to-day our President. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is a virtual dictator he pointed out.
