voted 23 to 2 in favor of the use of the new type ball even in the
tour ments. These men have had a chance to try the ball and conse-
quently the vote seems to me to be quite significant. Also thé°k8so-
ciation of Alabama has alweady adopted the molded type ball for their -
state finals. It appears to me that many of these are certain to

be used during the next few months. We will then be in a better
position to tell whether the defects mentioned in your letter are
serious and whether they can be corrected through improvements in

the ball.

We are in sympathy with your statement relative to the price of the
new ball. We had hoped that these balls could be produced for a
consitrably lower price and we have some assurance that at least one
of them can be produced at a considerable reduction after the initial
cost of development has been mete Such a reduction should be possible
Since seconds and thirds will be almost eliminated.

Springfield, Massachusetts] hope you will keep me posted relative to any further obervations
