It Is the fashion nowadays in most championships to strive at all costs for length off the tee. It 1t not sufficient to complete 4OO- yard hole in q drive, brassie and two butts. Practically everybody derives greater satisfaction from long drive, q long mashie and two puts for their pars.
 Long hitters certainly are not to be dcspised. To be able to hit the ball for great distances. providing 1t is well controlled, is of vital importance to any who wish to be- come first-class players.
 have seen players indulge in their blind swiping for days with complete impunity, only to crack suddenly without moments warning and add 10 to 1b strokes to their scores.

New York, Aug 6--(UP)-lf Lefty Grove, that mighty man of inc Philadelphia Athletics, holds to his dizzy pace through the re- maining fifty games Of the l33l season he will have, whether he wants to or not, achieved baseball immortality. What ia more, he will have achieved it in the space ol six years, which is 4 good deal less than par for the course
 It was in 1925 that Grove, a raw -boned. gangling, Maryland mountainccr, first reported to Con nie Mack. Blessed with bllndlnS .pced and little else he won ten games while losing twelve. Since that time his improvement has been as steady as Inc tides. In his second year Grove broke even with 13-13. He reached 20 games won in 1927 and never has been below that mark since, winning 24 in 1928, 20 in 1929. and 28 last year.
 Hard to Believe
 To-day, with the season but two thirds gone, Lefty has won 22 and lost but two for the almost unbc- lieyable percentage of .316.~ II sounds more like an outfcldcr's average than that of q pitcher.
 The highest modern percentage is .872 turned in by Joe Wood or the Red Sox in 1900. Unless he breaks an arm or loses his desire to win, Grove should aurpash Woods figure.
 If you don't think a seasons average of .872 or better ls some thing to shout about remember that .837 was Walter Johnson'a best and that the big trains mark was better than any ever turned In bv those other immortalS, Cy Young and Grover Cleveland Alex ander.
 If Grove faces the Yankees to- day he will be shooting not only for his 23rd victory but his l4th consecutive win as well. A victory and he will be just six shy of the modern record of 20 established in 1912 by Rube Marquard of the Giants.
 It might also interest you to know that the modern record for straight losses is 13, established by one John Majors of the Athletics of 1916.
 Although It's not in the books we believe that Connie Mack get some sort of mark for patience and optimism by letting Mister Majors hang around so long.
 One in Package
 There's one mark, however. that Grove or anybody else is not going to disturb. We mean the one be- longing to Al Spaling who, ques- ton 1t if you like. was Boston's only pitcher during the years 1S71-1S75. In the latter year Spalding worked in GA games. winning 57. losing four, tying three.
 Those four losses make us wonder if the man really was try ing.
 Grove won't win 57 games this season but he is likely to go Ii bit beyond thirty, something no pitcher has done In years and years Even if Lefty takes four days rest between each appearance fsomething he hasn't been doing thus far) he still will have time enough for eleven or twelve work outs.
 Well, we think the depression about over. Jack Dempsey is re- ported working out for another ~-~~ ~~Lsot

More Disclosures In Howard Gunder Bank
 Investment Trial

been formed in 1920 essentially for purposes of defrauding investors.
 Mann testified that so far as he knew the company in question, called the Gunder-Mann Co.-un- derwriting bond issues and selling mortgages-had originally been or ganized with no intent to defraud, so far as he knew. He said he got out of it subsequently,, when they failed to sell enough stock, in his estimation, to underwrite bonds.
 He said he organized five small banks in Connecticut in an effort to have them absorb first mortgages which the company handled and provide them sufficient capital on which to continue. The banks, Mann said, succeeded, but the Gunder-M company failed to sell sufficient stock and he got out.
 Testimony seeking to expose the far-flung allegedly fraudulent dealings of Gunder and his associ- ates in IA financial organizations in half a dozen states was expected to drag the trial out for a month or six weeks.
 The defendants are Gunder. chairman of the defunct Bankers Capital Corporations; Roland J. Randall, president of the same company; and Edward J. Sturges, an official of the .Gunder companies. The Bankers Capital Corporation was the holding company for the others involved in deals which the prosecution is seeking to prove were guilty of defrauding investors of between $6.000,000 and $lO,- 000 00O

15-Year-Old Boy
 Sent to Meriden
COmbellack Unable to Re-
 form YOungster

A 15-year old boy was commit fed to the state school in Meriden this morning as the result of his letter-writing ambition. He has de- veloped the habit of preparing "so- lutions" which he describes as deadly poison and which he in tended to drink. The youngster would also write a few words on a note giving one the impression that he was in earnest about com hitting suicide. Of course there would be some excitement In the household when the letter was found and remarks of the poison ous solution recalled.
 The young lad after being made a fuss of would of course relent and admit that he was only fooling. The family with whom he resided became tired of his persistent ef- forts to be a jokester and as the result of complaints being made about his conduct he was surren- dered to the police.
 Judge T. V. Meyer was informed that for various reasons the George Junior Republic didn't care to re- ceive the lad who possessed such a peculiar literary ability. The local children's commission was not in a position to handle such a problem that this lad and his peculiar hab- its presented, so the court decided that the reform school for boys in Meriden should be his place Of res- idence for awhile.
 Probation Officer Nicholas Com bellack, who has made several eff forts to get the lad started right, testified this morning that he had exhausted his patience with the youth.

 Pym was a prominent employe of the Chase companies for the past 23 years. He was general manager of the electrical depart ment. Before disappearing this morning he remarked to fellow workmen that he was going to take a walk around the mill in event of anyone looking for him. His absence was noted with some concern at noon hour and his brother-in-law Edward Payne of this city and John Hornbecker, as- sistant superintendent. made in- quiries concerning him. It was they who discovered the body. A .3S calibre revolver rested at the side of the body. Medical Ex- aminer Dr Edward H. Kirschbaum declared that Pym had been dead for several hours. Death had been recorded as suicide.
 Employes of the Chase Rolling Mill company notified Lieut. Milton MacMullen of the discovery of the body and Lieut. William Pollard conducted the investigation for the police.
 Pym is survived by his wife and two sons and a daughter by a previous marriage. Ill health was given as the probable motive for pym's actions. He had been un- der the care of a physician for treatment of a complication of diseases. He was about 5i years of age and resided on the Middle bury road.

 The meeting had scarcely been opened before Timothy Burns brought up the name of T. M. Lyons as the democratic choice for mayor. MT Burns told of his ac- auaintance with MT Lyons since his boyhood days, and reminded those present of his fine standing among the citizens of Torrington. His ad- dress was very enthusiastically re- ceived, and Mir Lyons was unani- mously chosen.
 As was expected, Moses Doyle and Wm. Farley were named by Mir Heffernan as the choice of the town committe for councilmen. MT James Murphy will also run on the ticket.
 MT Francis Hogan was named by MT Heffernan in behalf of the town committee as nominee for town clerk. MT Hogan was backed up by MT Driscoll and MT Farnham. Mir Anthony Teiesco's name was also entered, and the two will con- test the nomination at next Sat urday's primary.
 Other nominees named by the town committee were as follows: James O'Meara, treaslffer; David Harris and Raymond Wilcox for school board: Thomas Tanning and Susan Hoben, selectment; Patrick Phelan, registrar of voters; How ard Newbury and Daniel Ryan on board of assessors: from the floor, Fred Pastore and George Bower man were named: Edmund Cad oret and Joseph Froliger, for board of relief. It was voted that members of the present town com mittee continue to act in that capacity.

It is uncer- tain. however. as to the lineup for councilmen. Eric Stowe. Antonio Gioia, Jacob Meyerjack. General Sanford H. Wadhams and John III. Seaton are among those mentioned. August c. Raspiller and John Jack are mentioned for clerk. For the board Of education, G. Homer Lane Frank T. Case and Thomas w.. Bryant are named.
