standard ball controversy. CONDEMNED BY TAYLOR. London, Feb. 4. J. H. Taylor, the well-known professional golfer, in a letter to the Times, says that the present standard golf ball is a failure, because it can be made to travel further than those it was intended to supplant. Something must be done to regain the old relative value of strokes. lie urges the use of a standardised ball, which must float and must have a maximum weight of 27dwt. Then, aa cross-buniters re-appear, the ball must be constantly in the air, intended. Taylor scathingly attacks the deeply-ribbed iron clubs as “a, vulgar fashion and a confession of weakness,” and urges their abolition. The Times agrees that another ball standard is essential. H. Vardon and Taylor urge the retention of stymies the latter saying that if the United States insists on their abolition they must be allowed to play the game, “but it’s not golf.”
