When Mrs. Ruth Martinez and Frances Walker team up it's difficult for any fem! section to beat them. In their latest conquest they con- quered Clara Tabler and Pnneu Krucoft yesterday, 6—4, 3—6, to win the Wardman Park Hotel &mblu title. Miss Walker’s edge over Miss Tabler in volle] ‘was a vital factor. Play of Mrs. inez and Miss Krucoff, who clung to the base line, was about sponsible for every bail being just right as the pitcher was. If he called for one wrong and it cost the ball game he took the blame for the loss, not the pitcher. “I had a lot of fun with Gabby. One time there was a repon that New York wanted to buy the battery—myself and Gabby—for $30,000. “That wu n mmdo\u those days. to get saying, 'Yeh !29 000 for $1,000 for old Gabby.” “Gabby had a grea pretty proud of lt. first to try to keep a man close to the bag, and you could hear Gabby chat- tering all over the park: “‘Let 'em run; Gabby'll get 'em. “He would, too. He'd throw any out at second. I've seen him Cobb quit many a time. Ty would a lead, Gabby would throw. would be glad to scramble back to first.” ‘Walfer chuckled to himself as the pdeoin Gabby's a grand fellow, a great man- ager.

HE decision of the United States Golf Association to re- tain the present size of the ball but increase the weight should bring about a solution of the golf ball problem. At least, it is as near a perfect solution as an: g pertaining to golfers can be. ‘The association, after a most care- ful investigation, discovered two main complaints regarding the pres- ent ball: 1. That it is too hard to control in a brisk wind. 2. That it is at times difficult to control on the putting green. These two faults are & matter of weight. T.e new official ball will be the size of the present official ball and the weight of the old ball. ‘The only difference between the 1932 ball and the old ball of other years will be a matter of .06 of an inch, which is barely more than an eyelash. As this minor difference s a1l that stands between the U. 8. G.
