LONG DRIVING CHAMPIONSHIP
. GOLFERS UP IN THE All

Who's the longest driver among the
goliing amateurs of our perfect good
United States?
Tho question has been hashed and
rehashed by. the golf critics, yet no
one has settled it as yet.
When the amateur. Championship
tourney was held at philadelphia last
summer. Jesse Guilford. Massachusetts
State champion. and Bob Gardner, OF
Chicago. were routed as the hest driv-
ers among the amateurs. In the semi
final round. when these two players
met. Gardner got greater distance out
OF his drives. but 1t was pointed out
that he was hitting a low ball with a.
long roll on a baked course. while
Guilford was hitting n high ball with
comparatively little roll.
And then the un%prejudiced raflbfrd.
bobbed up with the assertion that
among all of the players in the tour
was driving yards beyond both play
ers. SO the amateur long-driving.
championship is UP in the air.
