Columbia Country Club, and Pat O'Hara, Irish champion, were defeated, 2 and 1, by Jim Barnes of { Pelham Country Club and Mike Brady of Detroit yesterday in their best- ball golf match, in which the new standard ball was given its first real test. but the little fellows were as enthusiastic as their conquerors when it came to praising the new ball McLeod declared it had enabled him to play good golf, despite the fact that he had been ill the past few davs. The Columbia man was off his game. however, and this probably kept the little fellows from a victory. “The new ball is by far the best T ever played with.” Barmes said. “It has a longer carry znd. although you do not get much roll from it on any shots, that is an advantage in nlay- ing to the green.
