Cut-up Golf Ball Proves Dangerous Culling up a golf ball can prove to bo a dangerous thing, young Johnny Pfeiffer, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Pfeiffer, learned Tuesday evening. Johnny was cutting into a ball that he had contained in the grip of a vise. As he bent over it, cutting the rubber interior, the released pressure caused it to disintegrate suddenly into his face. A portion of the rubber and a white substance inside hit him on the right eyelid. A doctor who was called to attend him said that the sub stance almost tattooed the eye lid, penetrating the skin in nhieos. and makine it al most impossible to pick out all the particles. The eye itself did not seem to be damaged. .Tnlmnv w;i nhle to BO to school Wednesday and seemed to be in good condition, ine doctor checked the eye again, thinking that the white sub stance might be white lead. However, it appeared it be an other substance that dried al most immediately when exposed to the air.
