Sport: Bigger & Lighter

A difference in diameter of 6/100 in., in weight of 7/100 oz., was authorized for standard U. S. golf balls last week by the U. S. Golf Association. The difference may engender international complications next year because the Royal & Ancient Society of St. Andrews, high court of British golf, has refused to change the present standard ball. The new ball is said to make lies better, putting straighter, drives shorter by five or six yards. Because it has more surface and less weight it increases the errors of hookers, slicers.
