EW YORK, January 29.—The days of the long-flyng golf ball, mak- ing necessary the building of courses approximately 7,000 yards in length, with the resultant heavy financial drain upon clubs and N players, appear to be numbered. No definite action has yet been ukenl by the United States Golf Association, which has for some time been in- vestigating the golf ball situation, but it is undePstood that the question will be settled at an early date, and that a new ball, weighing approxi- mately 1.55 ounces avoirdupois and having a diameter of 1.66 inches, will be adopted as the standard ball for competitions in America.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, January 29.—Frank Frisch, who will captain the Giants in 1924, is the youngest ball player who has held that position under John J. McGraw. He was almost the only choice. Groh is liable to injury and would hardly do; Kelly probably was not considered, and Southworth, while he had been captain of the Boston club, was an outfielder, which eliminated him under the McGraw theory of captaining. Frisch is not likely to be affected by the responsibility attached to his post. The Giant second baseman is a quick thinker and takes excel- lent care of himself. His circumspection in the latter respect probably is due to the fact that he expects one day to be a business man and is not in base ball for all time. A Frisch does not believe the rumor coming up_ from the Ohio river that Cincinnatj is going to win the 1924 pennant. He holds this opinion not because he happens to be captain of the Giants, but for reasons whicle he has thought out for himself. % Ffl;ohcl‘u/: the §‘3{.§’€.§fi‘3 :lhr;u; steel traps to eatch him.

Pitchers, he argues, may hold the score low, but it takes spsed to put mcross the one run needed to win the 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 games. Those are the games he figures Cincinnati will lose because they are to slow on the bases. Another Frisch Distinetion. Frisch is one of the few college men who have éaptained a National League team. Fred Tenney of Bos- ton was another. Frisch probably will be the only one {n 1924. Another fact about Frisch is that he is a na- tive son of the city he represents on the ball fleld. and one & very few home-town boys who have captained "’5 league teams. ¢ the players on the team for 1924 few precede Frisch in service. for the Glants have been fairly well weeded out since they began winning pennants. Young and Kelly are of longet service. Young is almost the vetéran. Friech will be known all over the elrcult as the “kid captain” and the older players will be setting their League clubs have not strengthened sufficlently to beat the Giants out of the next champlonship and he figures they have as good a chance to win their fourth straight as have the New York Yankeee.
