MAKE BIG GOLF DRIVES.
Sporting Stars Get Big Results on
Diamond and Gridiron.

''Shb o'u StiuioIts
On several occasions debators i'm

research have taken up the question
as to how much further golf ball
can be driven beyond baseball wal

There are at hand no official rec
ords of long flights in either game.
measured to the ultimate inch and
established as the last word in the
case.
But there is this to go on-Fred
Merkle and Hans Wagner startled
the populace on two occasions by
driving baseball over the left field
fence in Pittsburgh. This fence is
400 feet from the home plate, and
each drive landed at least forty feet
beyond the fence-making a total car
ry Of 440 feet.
Only recently Walter Johnson
smashed a drive over the scoreboard
in Cleveland, situated 400 feet from
the plate. This smash also carried
about 44O feet. So in the way of
flight, not including roll, no ball play
er probably ever drove beyond $50
feet. No man has vet hit the center
field fence at the Polo grounds, which
is 4S0 feet from the plate.
A long drive in golf can frequent.
ly carry between 225 and $50 yards.
And on one occasion Jesse Guilford,
the far driving wonder from Inter-
vale, christened the New Hampshire
Siege Gun. smote golf ball that flew
912 yards from the tee. This totals
9SG feet, or about twice as far as any
athlete has ever been able to ham,
mer a baseball on its way. There
have been golf smashes well above
1000 feet, but these included the roll
which is too much matter of baked.

We're bunch o. grass-green rockies
when it comes to keepin' step,
And each rank is mighty ragged in
it's dress,
But we swing along the Avenue as
full O. life and pep
AS if marching was our only bust
ness.
All our flags are gaily flynn and our
bands are in full blast,
For today's the day to which we
give our name.
But just one day in the year
We have time to march and
cheer;
We must beat the Kaiser's U-boats
at their camel!
We're a lot O. grimy rough-necks
every other day but this. -
When we work with steel and rivets
and such junk.
But we let the lordly high-brow tell
how labor is remiss, . -
For we know you can't build boats
of bull and bunk.
So we do our hardest daily, and we
slide the ships along, t.
Though our mugs will never fill tho
Hall of Fame.
All the fightin' we can do
Is to shove each days work
through. e.
But we've beat the Kaiser's U-boats
at their game! = =
