Fine Golf Ball Wasted
On Duffer, Claims
Diffenbaugh
Player Without Power
Cuts Sphere in Effort
To Get Pros DistuLle

John @. Duffer, esq, the great
contributor of golf, is going to sac
rifice flock of shiny new golf balls
this spring on the altar of pride.
SO says George Diffenbaugh, Ken
wood Golf and Country Club pro-
fessional. 1t happens this way (says
George:
Your run-of- mine golfer, no
matter how many shots he hacks
in the trouble zone, figures he needs
maximum distance. So he goes out
and buys the most expensive, thin
nest covered golf ball he can find.
Now the manufacturers frankly
admit and talk about the fact that
some of their higher-priced golf
balls are for power hitters only: men
who hit that ball with a lot of
oomph. They also admit that to
get distance into the ball they have
to cut down on the cover material
tthin it ouD and make other
changes which result in a fast, long
ball, but one which isn't so durable
against topped iron shots or the
hacking you see around any golf
course.
No Ball for Slow Hitter.
so the situation is this: Your
run-of the mine golfer is far from
a power hitter He simply doesn't
get the clubhead moving fast enough
to get the maximum compression Of
that tightly wound ball which gives
maximum distance. He would be
far better off using a ball with a
thicker cover, little more loosely
wound. He would find that when he
topped an iron Shot he wouldn't cut
the ball. And he wouldn't notice
any difference in distance
But try to tell EN- that? II can't
be done. They want the best ball.
the ball the pros use It's human
vanity to think that any man can
get the power the big boys get. and
I guess We cannot do anything
about it.
But when century shooter buys
three golf balls in my shop, I try
to pick out the ball best for his
EoliiCs ~ llC 10 llSIlJ llIllCI anu
one who doesn't always hit the ball
right I try TO sell him a ball that
won't cut and still will give him dis
tance. It's tough to do that. too.
They all want the power ball, which
responds only to the heavy Wallop
of big hitter"
Golf Ball Suicide.
George is right as rain. and the
other pros. of course, do the same
thing. It's golf ball suicide to sell
well-meaning but inaccurate
duffer three bright new golf balls
with tender skins. They Just won't
stand the punishment the tougher
spheres will take.
George Diffenbaugh should know.
He's been around quite a while and
he has seen a lot of golf And he's
just the same as the other pros.
He wants to make an honest dollar,
but he doesn't want his members to
spend money foolishly.

Eager 10 Teach Golf,
Picard 10 Play Only
3Meets Yearly
Plans to Toll Steadily
At Oklahoma Club After
10 Years Of Touring
3! the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 22.-It's
like getting ready for banquet by
going without food, but Golf Pro
Henry Picard figures he can cut his
tournament competition TO two or
three meets year and still find
his way around the course without
the aid of seeing-eye dog.
Naturally, my tournament play
will suffer- said the former P. G. A.
champ who left a Hershey, Pa, club
because he had to play in tourna-
ments while the members stayed at
home and who landed at the Twin
Hills Club here, where the members
want him to stay at home and teach
them to play in tournaments.
I've been making the tournament
circuit for 10 years and now | want
to settle down and spend my time
teaching others to play the game"
Picard, one of the greatest COM
petitors in the professional ranks,
has four other reasons for trans
forming himself from a tournament
golfer into teaching golfer. They
are Mrs. Picard and the three little
Plcards-one 10, one 5 and the
youngest only years old.
Picks Three Journeys.
During his 6I2 years at the swank
Hershey Country Club, his family
saw so little of him that every trip
home nearly necessitated a round of
introductions.
AS pro at the Twin Hills Club
scene Of the National P. G. A. tour
nament in 1935-Picard will compete
only in the national open, the P. G.
A. and possibly the Inverness invi-
tation at Toledo.
IT'S like a man in medicine" he
explained. "A doctor who chooses
to spend all his time in the labora-
tory, perfecting cures for peoples
ailments, has little time to build up a
successful practice.
I've spent a lot of time studying
this game and the methods of teach
ing it. Now I'm going to devote my
time and energy to the golfing pub
lie"
Hit Peak Last Winter.
Picard'S reason for picking the
Inverness tournament as his only
competition outside the two ma jors
meets strictly is sentimental. The In
verness Club is the home base of
his longtime friend. Byron Nelson.
present P. G. A. champion and run
ner-up to Picard in 1899. The fact
that $4,000 is involved only is in
cidental.
Oddly enough. Picard hit his peak
in the past Winter tour, winning the
New Orleans open the day before he
made up his mind to halt his travels
and dedicate himself to leading
Oklahomans out of the rough.
He couldn't have picked better
spot than this rugged Twin Hills
course, where the rough really is
rough and the buffers really are
ready.

Notre Dame fits at South Bend
two years ago. He was a sopho-
more unknown before the game.
Afterward Coach Elmer Layden
allowed it was all Notre Dame
could do to gain a 17-14 decision
over Mr.. Bosch and company.
Mr.. Bosch will be back this fall
for his senior year-if the draft
doesn't put him in Army khaki
but observers think he'll have to
show more than he did in 1910 to
keep lii Davey out of his shoes.
Besides Eldredge, Alex has an
other sensational sophomore
coming up. He's Pat McHugh, a
l75-pounder from Orville, Ga,
who is the fastest back Tech has
had around in a co5p's age.

BY BILL ACKERMAN.

Catching big fish accidentally on
the f1ukes of an anchor is an old
story, but it doesn't happen so often
that it might be called common
place.
Deliberately to try this trick, and
succeed, is something else, but that
is just what Dick CZekalSki, a
Georgetown sophomore, accomplish
ed last week while sailing off the
entrance to Tampa Bay in a 16-foot
mosquito boat.
Running through a school of
rolling tarpon without any kind of
tackle aboard so irked him that he
threw his tiny 5-pound anchor at
one just under his quarter. Imagine
his surprise when he found he had
hooked the fish. And he landed it
too, a 60-pounder.
Hardheads About Due.
High temperatures of tributaries
of Chesapeake Bay and the catch Of
seven hardheads in the Flag pounds
above Cove Point led us to believe
anglers would get the first of the
season over the week end.
To bolster the idea, a gill-netter
took several in Horga River, a hap
pening which usually precedes their
catch on hook and line by a day.
Possibly the stiff southerly wind
that blew all day, keeping Solomons
Island boats in the Patuxent, had
most to do with no catch being re-
ported.
At Benedict, far up the Patuxent,
where the first hardheads are
caught almost the same day they
appear in Honga River, many
anglers were disappointed. So were
fishermen at Herring Bay and South
River.
There was little chance at either
of these fishing grounds, however,
for the few caught in pound nets
is no criterion. The gill nets, set
close in under the shore, almost al
ways catch fish from a week to 10
days before the bait fishermen.
This is true only because the bait
dunkers fish the deeper waters and
the hardheads spend just about that
much time on the sum warmed
flats and creeks before they drop off.

Shares Change Hands
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Share lead
ers fell back today under pressure OF
a barrage of bad news from the Rus
sian front and commodity prices
slumped in sympathy.
The market was irregular at the
opening, slipped by small degrees
throughout the session and closed
with prices at their worst.
The movement was far from a
landslide, however, as only about
100000 shares changed hands.
Some of the better known issues,
such as Consolidated Edison. Union
Pacific and Westinghouse, reached
new lows for the year.
Among the shares suffering most
were Du Pont, Allied Chemical. j. c.
Penney, Chrysler, United States
Steel, Boeing, American Telephone,
Kennecott and Southern Pacific.
Bonds Follow Market Trend.
Bond prices followed the general
market trend downward today,
minor advances in selected indus
trials and rails breaking the decline.
Volume continued light toward the
close, speculative rail issues account
ing for most of the bond business
on the stock exchange.
United States Governments stead
led after early easiness, holding un-
changed to 2-32 Of a point higher
in over-the-counter dealings, and
were lightly traded on the stock
exchange.
