CALLAWAY/TAYLOR MADE DEBATE TAKES TURN WITH JUDGE'S MOTION

          CA Superior Court Judge Michael Anello "denied
     Callaway's motion for a temporary restraining order against"
     former Callaway Golf Ball VP/Sales Mark King, who left the
     company to become Taylor Made President, according to Mike
     Freeman of the SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE.  Since CA law
     "favors the ability of employees to switch companies,"
     Freeman notes that Anello's ruling "was expected."  More
     Freeman: "The decision strikes a blow to Callaway efforts to
     protect what it believes are threatened trade secrets." 
     However, Callaway did win a "partial victory" when Anello
     set a September 23 hearing date for Callaway's preliminary
     injunction request (S.D. UNION-TRIBUNE, 8/27).
