 Both paStinies face on unpreee. dented shortage in pellets because of the record breaking rush on sports goods stores that fololwed publiea- ton of drastice rubher.conserving orders effective January {.
 Officials of the United States Coli Association and the U. s. Lawn Tennis Association are optimistic that the shortage will not be as acute as threatened. But their op- timism Is not shared by leading sports goods manufacturers.
 For example, O. D. Steele, New York branch manager of the Penn sylvaria Rubber company, explained supplies of golf and teais balls are particularly low now with Us and other manufacturers because this is the in-between season when or- ders usually are filled from stocks on hand while awaiting the big turnout in spring. Because of re- cent heavy demands, we are be. hind in our shipments, and we are uncertain as to the exact ef- feet of the new rubber-Saving orders upon our future manufacturers But whatever the government asks we will conform readily"

 John W. Sproul, sales manager of the golf ball department Of the U. s. Rubber company, also wAs uncertain as to the exact effect oi the new orders.
 Sproul said, i've are taking in. ventory of our supplies now and vii, not know the extent of our stocks for a few days. There is a chance that our company and others may have enough on hand to last through 1922"
 Lou Coleman, sales manager oi A. G. Spalding and Bros, said; "News of the new orders has caused quite a run on all stores" Another employe of the same firm said that the demand was so great that all xisting stocks would be exhausted in @ couple of weeks.
 A. Davega, head of 30 Metropoli- tan sports goods stores, said, "It's a landslide-this rush for golf and tennis balls. We never saw or ex- pected anything like 1t. It's wore than the womens silk stocking run Luckily we had 8 big stock of golf balls, but I don't know how long they'll last"
