World's Record Drive There has been considerable discussion in the last few years concerning the longest golf drive ever made—including both carry and roll. It has been said that Braid and Home have both driven over 400 yards, the roll included, while Abe Mitchell has a record carry of 31S yards. In order to settle this argument for all time we subpenaed Charles E. Van Loan, the 'California Crasher, to establish a driving record which would end the dis j pute forever and thereby close out the debate. | Mr. Van Loan, who is famed as a short story writer, agreed not only tc smash all records, but to turn the trick with one hand. • We have just received Mr. Van Loan's official report. And we are pleased 'to state that the expedition was a terrific success. Tlic Epochal Wallop! Van Loan's drive, \\ith a favoring wind, the ball hooked slightly, carried a total of 6,000 feet —2.000 yards—and thereafter disappeared from view. This is absolutely correct. For in making his drive Van elected to tee up the ball on the edge of the Grand Canyon. Going still further, he se lected a spot just above the Black Gorge, where the drop to the river below is 6,000 feet. At this point the canyon is fourteen miles across, which'is a carry that baffled even our selected star, the California Crasher. The best he could 'do was to make the river. 6,000 feet away. In order to have the record thoroughly established beyond any rebuttal, :;c had photographs taken of the location with no less an expert "than Henry James Forman, of "Collier's Weekly," to witness the stirring deed. Mr. Korman reports that he followed the flight of the ball for a mile and then lost interest, but that he is willing to testify that it reached the gorge of j the river. 2,000 yards below. . This should end all debate as to the world's record drive. Hereafter these 300 and 400-yard hitters will kindly fade into the background, for at the Grand Canyon you can get better than 400 yards with a putter with back spin employed. The X. 1,. Race The Boston Braves looked to be one of the best clubs in the National League. ' Beyond that, it is one of the best clubs in the National League—a first ! Class machine. | The Braves, tossed in against the Giants, were able to win just one out of line first five games played. ! This isn't direct proof, of course. But you can figure for yourself, if the Braves were overwhelmed by the Giants, what chance the weaker looking clubs will have to check a machin.e composed of hard hitters, fast |baserunners and better pitching than any one expected to see. Back of the Lines This country doesn't want to make the big mistake of abandoning its sport. That situation in many ways appears to be in the miUiing now. Eng land and France have carried sport right up to the edge 01 the tiring line, where back of the trenches many thousands are kept in better mental and physical condition through various games. Football and baseball are played extensively just beyond the range of shells. This country needs all the sport that it can carry without interfering in any wav vr'un war plans. But sport in the main will be an aid rather than an interference. It wih soon be found to be a good thing for the enlisted man and officers as well as for those not yet called upon to serve. This country, when it gets started in a certain direction, is a great little over-doer at times. It is well enough to abolish all championships. But to continue wiping i out sport will soon react in a most unfavorable way. -Vnot her Cpset The uncertainties of sport continue apace. Les Darcy for the last three months has been branded the leading slacker of the epoch. Yet here we have Darcy the first of the prominent boxers to enlist. By the time you get it all figured out the answer is exactly upside down.

Horsehide Artists of Harrisburg and Vicinity Have Busy Sessions Saturday found nearly every base ball team In Harrisburg and vi cinity in action and some excellent games resulted. Some of the games *.-ere played on home soil while others were on foreign grounds. The Harrisburg Academy team dropped a game to the Gettysburg Academy nine on home soil by the score of 7to 3. Errors in the initial frame gave the Ge/tysburg lads a lead of four runs, which were too many for the local lads to over come. In an exhibition contest the Rose wood A.

Giant Player Hangs Up New Record For Veterans CEOHGE BUHKS George Burns, the Oiant's left fielder, has played his 320 th consecu tive same with the Giants. No other major league player has ever played so many games without taking a day off. so that Burns belongs in a spe cial niche of fame in the baseball world. Last year Burns was the leading scorer in the National League. In the last seven games of the current season he has scored nine runs—a remarkable achieve ment. In his 320 th game he made three hits off Alexander "the Great," a single, a double and a triple.
