By PETER PUTTER
wur .o .,,u iuv I'icnsuranie game in
VJ the world. No other same yet devised
has the thrills that this ancient gamo gives
to Its adherents. It appeals alike to young
and old, the weak and, strong. It does not
require strength, and some of the greatest
players In this country are slender stripling?
like Norman Maxwell, the youthful North
nd South champion. But perhaps the
greatest thrill In golf Is the long shots from
the tees. Here every one Is on a par. There
ts no question about the lie, and It Is the
only shot In golf where nothing favors the
player. There is the smoothly cut tee and
the small pllo of sand on which the ball
Is placed.
Yet we sco some great big husky football
player step up and the best ho can get is a
110 yards. Next comes a youngster still
under twenty and weighing a few poundi
over 100, yet re sends the ball crashing
through space for 260 yards and more
Brute strength In golf means nothing. Un
less the shot Is timed properly jou will
not get the results.
I know a Phltadclphlan who has been
playing golf for twenty years In a sort of
haphazard way. He Is big and husky and
he learned the gme In Kngland, and he
iiava he took at least one losson from the
twenty greatest professionals In Great Brit
ain, and he has played all the famous
courses In Great Britain Yet the chief
pleasure ho gets oat of golf is hitting tre
mendous tee shots. Twice on a cold day
In January when the ground was frozen
he has driven a 255-yard green. On one
SOO-yard hole he drove over a bunker which
ran across tho entire fairway and probably
150 yards from the tee. It was a frozen
ground exploit and the ball went exactly
S65 yards, and It was carefully measured.
But he had a Btlff breeze back of him.
Guilford Longest of Drivers
There Is a lot of debate as to who Is the
longest driver in this country, but tho honor
Is generally awarded to Jesse Guilford, tho
Massachusetts State champion. During the
rational championship at Ukwanok in 1913
ine of his drives was measured and tho
earry was 308 jards. He was not seen at
his best In tho national championship at
Merlon last jear. There had been u drought
lor several weeks, and the feature of his tee
work Is that he has a tremendous carry and
very little roll. As si result of tho baked
ground B0erat of the men against whom
he played outdrove lilm because they got a
tremendous roll to their ball. But during
the springtime, when the ground Is soft, he
will outdrive any other man in the country
by many yards. Ho is a giant and has tre
mendous wrists and forearms.
In the four-ball match at the Marino
and Field links on May 2G last, with Oswald
Kirkby and Jerry Travcrs In opposing pairs,
Klrkby got off one of tho longest drives ever
Been In this section of the country It was
on the fifth hole, where the Immediate
earry near tho tee is over Twelfth avenue.
Then theto comes rolling ground to the
green. The averngc roll will favor the ball
somewhat, though one could hardly call it
downhill to tho green.
The length of the hole Is 323 yards, and
the turf was heavy. At each sliU of the
star entrance to the green Is a trap. These
