cleek or driving iron he also is beyond
any competition we have seen.
Gardner certainly can get further with
a half iron than any other player in
America. To see him start his swing for
180-yard shot you never would figure
that he would get much over half way. Tho
club doesn't seem to come back above his
waist line, yet the terrific power he i'm
parts from his forearms and wrists is
so unusual that the results he obtains with
half swing are we'll beyond those gotten
by first class players with a full smash.
Jerry Travers gets fine distance with his
driving iron, about as far as he does with
the wood. but with trifle greater effort.
Under normal conditions Travers can figure
on about 230 yards with this club. which,
with his putter, always has been his favor
lite. He won four amateur championships
with 1t when off his wooden club shots
Travers gets a low ball with this club,
striking downward in such way that
the ball leaves with a terrific jump, a
different shot almost entirely than that
used by Oswald Kirkby and Chick Evans,
who also get great length with this club.
The seventh hole at Englewood. Kirkby's
home course, is 1876 yards. Unless playing
into the wind the Englewood star uses a
jigger for this shot to carry upon the
green, and rarely is short. A 195-yard
jigger carry is fair enough. when it Is
considered that for the same distance the
average golfer is quite content to get on
with spoon or even a brassie. Taking
the entire range of irons there isn't any
amateur we have seen who gets distance
with less effort than Chick Evans Evans
can get fine length with driving iron, mid
iron and jgger without apparently any
attempt to press.
But III a certain long iron carry had to
be made, even Chick might fall short where
Bob Gardner would be able to land.

JESSE GUILFORD RANKED AS
LONGEST DRIVER IN GOLFDOM
BY GRANTLAND RICE

TTTHo are the longest hitters, with various
w clubs, In the amateur golf of the United
States? This query has been advanced on
numerous occasions, and while there are no
official records to bear out any testimony,
at least opinions are in order
We never have seen Henry Davis, the
long-hitting Californian, play, but among
the others we have no particular hesitancy
In ranking the two driving leaders in this
order:
First. Jesse Guilford, late of New Hamp.
shire, but now of Boston.
Second. Robert A. Gardner. of Chicago.
Guilford, with the wood, has even
shade on the hard smashing Westerner. We
have seen him carry 900 yards, as unbelev-
able as 1t may sound, whereas a ball player
who can wallop a baseball beyond 140
yards on fly has turned out a marvellous
achievement
take the deep, full sweep with his driver
that Guilford uses, and so isn't able to
reach quite the latter's best distances al.
though Gardner over the rain-dampened
course at Detroit was driving steadily from
ESQ to 260 yards.
Back of these two there is very little
dlfrerence to be found in the way of con.
sistent length among Francis ouimet, Chick
evans, Oswald Kirkby and Max Marston.
These four range we'll together-and we
are counting here direction as we'll as dis.

lopers who can hit thv ball out of the
county, but who have no idea where 1t in.

Bob Gardner undoubtedly is the longest
Iron player in the land. With a green
200 yards away where that much carry
Is required. Gardner would have no heis-

and he rarely would be short. With a

was West Philadelphia's showing.

quarters that Central High would win the
title This prediction was made without
much hesitation by the critics. yet none
seemed to seriously consider West PhIla-

sibilities. When the final score was an

SHAFER MAY RETURN
TO NEW YORK GIANTS

New York. Dec. 6.-John J. McGraw.
manager of the New York Giants, once
more is angling for Arthur Shafer and
trying 20 persuade him to return to base
ball. Shafer, according to a friend I'm
far-of California, still is hanging back
but shows signs OF being afflicted by the
call of the game.
Tilly Shafer. as he was known when
he played third base and shOrtstop for
McGraw's team a couple or years ago
was one Of the most brilliant innelders
in the game. He also was a fine hitter
and one Of the fastest men in baseball
He gave up the game 10 go into the auto
mobile business in California
At that time every effort was made
by the New York club TO induce him TO
reconsider his decision. Shafer was a
tempermental athlete and there were
many things connected with professional
baseball which he did not like There
was no doubt. however, about his being
natural ball player.
McGraw admitted syNterday that he
had been in communication with Shafer
and that he hoped for the best He said
that he needed him as utility man.
"One OF the reasons why Shafer quit
baseball" said McGraw. was that he
complained that he did not like to play
every day. l think that he would make
wonderful utility man and would ma e.
terially strengthen my club. I have writ
ten him and hope to persuade him TO re-
turn TO the game

ing the worn-out possessors of ironclad
contracts.
Gilroy. Georgetown's sensational half
back, needs only two more touchdowns
to equal the mark made by Jerry De
Prato, of Michigan Aggies, last season.
Gilroy has scored twenty touchdowns,
and as Georgetown has one more game to
play against Tulane on Saturday, the old
mark Is likely to be shattered. George
town should have little trouble winning,
and, II 1t does, 1t Is, reasonably certain
that Gilroy will tally almost all the
touchdowns. Seldom IS another George
town player called upon when the ball
is within striking distance Of the goal.

NAVY SEEKS GAME.
Annapolis Eleven Wants to Play
Penn Eleven.

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-Although the
Penn football schedule will not be an
nounced until after the election of the
new captain and manager. it was
learned from a reliable source that a
number OF big colleges are negotiating
with the athletic committee with a
view 20 securing at least one or more
important dates on the Penn schedule.
The most important of these is said
to be Colgate. which wants to play
on Franklin Field. This season Col
gate ranked with the best teams of
the East. Another university thaN is
anxious to enter into athletic relatio
with Penn is California. which Andy
Smith is coaching. California will
take on Penn in San Francisco or come
East and play at Franklin Field. it is
said on good authority
1t Is also known that the Army and
Navy would each like to get a two
year arrangement with Penn.
