Bloomer, a If enthu- siast and managing director of the American Airways Corporation, that he has invented an illuminated golf ball that makes playing at night not only practicable but a pleasure. Bloomer put his invention to a practical demonstration recently on the Mosholu course in damp weather and played eight balls on the first and eighteenth holes. All were recov- ered from the drives and played out to_the cup in darkness. Millard explained that the balls are treated with a_chemical and wrapped in tinfoil until used. ,The illumina- tion lasts for approximately 15 min- utes after the balls are removed from the foil.

Chicago, with a_schedule of ix conference games and a Pennsyl vania tangle sandwiched in, has grown steadily weaker under the pounding of the opposition against its limited material.
