After Long Urging; =,
Reid Reelected
ay the Associated Press.

q, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. THE United
States Golf Association today took
a Leaf from big league baseball's
book in announcing that it had pre-
vailed upon golf ball manufacturers
to turn out their product according
to definite specifications.
These specifications are intended
to prevent development of too lively
ball-one that might enable even
q duffer to belt 300-yard drives and
would enable tournament players
to make par ridiculous.
Announcement of the agreement
with the manufacturers, one for
which the U. S. G. A. had been
striving for several years, was made
at the annual meeting by Archie M.
Reid of Hastings-on- Hudson, N. Y,
who unanimously was reelected
president of the association.
Stymie Rule Extended.
Reid told the delegates that trial
Of the new stymie rule, which per-
mits lifting of the nearer ball when
it is within 6 inches of the hole
as well as within 6 inches of the
other ball, would be extended for
another year.
while the rule was thought of
very favorably by all the tourna-
ment players with whom I discussed
it," Reid added, "the Executive
Committee felt that one year hardly
was enough for it to sink in. The
committee will make a thorough
check of the reactions of players
and sectional associations this year"
The delegates also approved a
decision by the Championship Com
mittee to cut the field of ITO start
ers in the qualifying round for the
National Amateur championship to
the 100 low scorers and ties after
the first half of the 36-hole test.
The tournament will be played
September 11-16 at the North
Shore Country Club, Glen View,
III.
Other Tourney Dates Set.
The National Open will be played
June $40 on the Spring Mill course
of the Philadelphia c. c., West
Conshohocken. Pa; the women's
championship at the Wee Burn
Club, Noroton, Conn, August 2l-26,
and the public links at the Mount
Pleasant Park and Clifton Park
courses, Baltimore, July 24-29.
All of the officers who served with
Reid in 1888 were reelected. They
are Harold w. Pierce of Brookline,
Mass, and r. Arthur Wood of High
land Park, ILL.,, vice presidents;
Frank M. Hardt of Haverford, Pa,
secretary; Jess w. SWeetser of New
York. treasurer, and Charles w.
Littlefield of Montclair, N. j.,
counsel.
There was one change in the
makeup of the Executive Commit
tee, Fielding Wallace of Augusta,

completed at the specified time
ana the papers were all in readi-
ness for sending off at IL o'clock

purposes.
FIRST, full inquiry is made as to

the quality rather than the length
of experience will be emphasized
in assigning.
