Tough enough already because the little yellow brothers got ambitious a few weeks ago, the golf ball situation became tougher today with announcement by the major golf ball manufacturing companies that come spring you'll be paying more for those spheres you may or may not get.

Golf balls which have been selling at 55 centr will be marked at 60| cents, while the 35-cent number, or the three for a buck ball, which has been popular in a lot of spots among the men and women who want something round and white | to go a reasonable distance, will be marked up to 45 cents. If you, Mr. Moneybags, want to buy a dozen of the top grade you'll have to lay $10.20 on the line, while the 55-cent ball gent will reach down in his jeans and come up with | 8720 for a dozen of his favorite | spheres. Boost of More Than $2. The prices, pictures of the situa- tion to come, contrast with the old price for the top ball, effective up to October 1, 1941, of three balls for $2 or a flat price of $8 a dozen.| Now the same balls which you got four months ago for three for two bucks will set you back $2.55. The | pros will make about the same | profit, although in the higher | brackets their profit has been hiked a little. But to the average golfer | who buys the best ball available the | brands which retailed in past years for six bits a copy the ante goes up & dime. It ought to make a lot of folks | breathe a little heavier and cuss the Japs a little longer and with more feeling. And it will get worse be- | fore it gets better unless the busy | scientists, already poring over test | tubes and retorts, emerge from the laboratories with an acceptable syn- | thetic substitute which will be al- most. as good as the rubber we don't have and won't get, available in supply sufficient to make golf balls of decent quality. At pfesent the golf pros around town generally have adopted a pol- icy of disposing of present stocks of balls at the old price, 75 cents each or three for $2.25. That was the price as of October 1, 1941, when the manufacturers jumped the ante from the level of last summer with 75-cent balls going for three for two bucks. But when the orders already placed come rolling in (and they won't be in any great quantity) the price will be as stated—85 cents each for the former 75-cent ball, 60 cents for the former 55-cent ball and 45 cents for the old 35-cent sphere. Result of War Conditions. “These conditions are the result of the war and were neither fore- seen nor anticipated. They fall upon the industry as a complete surprise,” said a letter to the pros around Washington from one man- ufacturer. “The available supply of golf balls will be distributed as equally as possible among all our customers.” Of course, the situation isn't too | bad. Golfers won’t mind the added boost of a dime a ball. They'll play more holes with them, and they'll search longer for them when they knock 'em into the woods or into deep rough. And right here a tip to the greenkeepers. Cut your rough, boys. Clean up the course, and if you have water hazards keep plenty of nets and rakes handy. If you don’t your members who hit those expensive and rare golf balls into them are going to do plenty of squawking. Nor can you blame them. If they lose something they cannot replace they have a right to vell, particularly if they don't have to lose ‘em. ‘Werber Columbia Applicant.

As final practice firing resounded over the course, 135-pound Hogan was the center of attraction. He has gathered in the major portion of prize money along California’s fast- fading 1942 winter tournament trail. He won the $10,000 Los Angeles Open, the San Francisco Open and was & runnerup in the Oakland Open. Slammin’ Sam has made the Crosby flesta something of a hobby. he has competed in it three times and won it three times, and comes back this year as defending cham- pion and a strong threat to collect the $800 first prize. Virtually all the name golfers play their first round Saturday, but several potential low scorers go into action tomorrow. Included are Ex-National Open Champion Ralph Guldahl, who now calls Rancho Santa Fe his home town, and Bill Nary, lanky young home pro who led the first round first division with a 66 a year ago. The three-day event, now a major tournament with a $5,000 purse in- stead of the previous $3,000, drew a fleld of nearly 300 pros and ama- teurs. Half of the field plays tomor- row, the other half the next day. The final 18 holes, with the field trimmed, is scheduled Sunday. P. G. A. officials and the National Advisory Sponsors’ Committee will meet Friday night. Plans and a site for the 1942 P. G. A.

Golf Ball Economy May Bring Respite On Water Hazards One of the moves that may result from the new war economy on golf courses is temporary filling in of water hazards. Nor will the duffer clan weep and walil if this is done. Columbia has the most extensive water hazard of any course around seventeenth holes of that course, but almost all golf layouts have some form of water hazard. The new situation stems back to the coming golf ball shortage and deep water hazards are not going to be popular in days to come. O. B.

PETERSBURG, Fla,, Jan. 29. ;—The graybeards of minor league | baseball, whose chances of crashing the majors might have been as little as one in a thousand a year ago, can take renewed hope. Johnny Nee, veteran New York Yankee scout, said today that the oldsters are going to get plenty of attention from the ivory hunters next summer and Mdeut;. e 'ou!‘ d;;b be surprised to see quite a few 30- year-old rookies in spring training camps next spring (1943) if the war continues.” | “Most of the good prospects a baseball scout looks at each year,” Nee explained, “are young fellows between the ages of 20 and 25 and a majority of them are numarried. But in-times like these, signing such players is risky business because Uncle S8am has prior claim on them for military service. “As I see it, the only alternative is to look for older players—those | 2 | This Year, Yanks’ Scout Says who have families and consequently are not likely to be drafted—but who might have a year or two of major league ball in their systems.” Nee pointed out that while youth |1s an almost vital asset to a ball player breaking into the big show, there have been a few notable ex- ceptions. “Take Wilcy Moore,” suggested Nee. “He was 30 years old when he came to the Yankees in 1927. Moore stuck and surprises every one by winning 19 games and losing only seven that year. “Jim Turner and Lou Fette were 30 years old when they first broke into the majors with the Boston Braves and each won 20 games his first year. Heber, Newsome, who won 19 games for the Red Sox last year, is 32 years old and had never been in the majors until last sea- son. “There are some more of these fellows around,” Nee added. “and they’re the lads scouts probably will be after this summer.” (i Maryland, nicked his nose one da | inflicting an inside cut that becam | infected and required an operation. | Sinse then he’s had no nose trouble. | Jones is studying agriculture at Maryland, majoring in horticulture.
