This would preserve the status quo far as first-clau play is concerned, and would not interfere with I saer men, who would be quite content to pay with rubber balls at the present holes, which they find quite long enough.

In club competitions and private matches any alteration in the relative form of players caused by the now balls wil soon be appraised and set right by a revision of handicaps, and for scratch oompetitions there seem no reason why they should not be con- fined to men using the gntly bali.
