3OO-YARD GOLFER.
A RARE SPECIMEN
SPORT WRITER REFERS TO THOSE
WHO DRIVE 900 As RARE As PINK
ElEPhANI-lT'S EXTINCT,
(BY FRANK G. MENKE)

tBY FRANK g. MENkE)
Golfers who average 300 yards in their
drives are as rare as pink elephank-and
they are extinct.
One hears much about linkists who can
hammer the globule 900 feet and beyond
every time they swing-but those golfers
are creatures of romancers. II is doubt
full if there is one golfer in the world who
can hit 800 the year around on an honest
course. Occasionally, men have dubbed
The gutta- percha 800 yards and farther
,ut accidents will happen.
Jim Barnes, the new "pro" champion, j.
listed among Americas most powerful driy-
rs. Yet he cannot hit them for better
than 260. Jock Hutchinson, another sup
erb walloper among the "pros', beats j
for 26O or so-and i quite content
Chick Evans. upon whose dome rest boil
the amateur and the open crowns, is note,
for his distance work. Yet "Chick," tn.
year around, rarely goes beyond 275 on an,
of his drives. and averages around $50.
Jesse Guilford i q famous ~"slugger,'
and upon occasions. has driven for NOR,
than 800 yards. But those were rare
Wonderful as he i with the wood, Guilforf
cannot drive for an average beyond 26t
or 265 at the very most. Jerry Travers
star driver. does around $50
Francis Ouimet hits for between $50 ant
200.
SO it can be seen that the 300 yard driv-
er in the game of 'golluf" is very much OF
a myth.

We feel a heavy. lumpy misery In the

He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-

take a tablespoonful in glass Of wat

REAL DOGS OF WAR

The French were delighted with the
dogs, and was entertained by all the
big people in Paris, while the Comte
Leon Tinseau, one of the greatest lit
terateurs in France and member of
the Legion OF Honor, wrote a long ar
ticle about them for the paper, the
Flambeau.
Kenneth Mart, Mr.. Allan's compan-
ion. stayed in France to Join an Ameri-
can ambulance.
Asked how many races he won with
his wonderful dogs, Mr.. Allan said that
he won three firsts, three seconds and
two thirds of the big races, but that
in the others his teams were always
'in the money"
Asked how much money was bet
and won and lost in these races, he
declined to go into any estimates. but
stated that in 1909, when the race was
over he had won $4,000 and two sill
yer cups. His friends upon that occa-
sion gave him a gold watch. suitably
inscribed. which he still wears.
The approximate value of the pack
of dogs that went to France may be
estimated from the fact that 500
apiece was offered for those that came
from Alaska.

the bergs, the pan ice, and GROWERS,
(small bergs,) threaten the transatlan-

Two stanch cutters are assigned by
the coast guard to ice patrol duty from
February to July. Each cutter patrols
the ice regions for continuous period
of fifteen days. The cutters make
their base at Halifax, N. S., and 1t Is
a three-day run from Halifax to the
tail OF the Grand Banks, or the SOUTH

the ocean which lies of Cape Race,
where their work begins.
The ship lanes from Boston and
New York to all European ports pass
just below the tail of the Grand Banks
and, upon the eastward voyage. turn
abruptly to the northeast just little
southeast of the tail of the Grand
Banks. 1t is for a distance of ap-
proximately q hundred miles on either

chief danger lies.
Arrived in the danger zone. the pa

all approaching steamships of these
facts in detail. At six o'clock every
