JOHN G. MARTIN WINS SHOOT HONORS-MEETS WITH ACCIDENT-GOLF POPULAR GOLF GAINS AS POPULAR SPORT Big Army of Players Swing Clubs Early and Late; New York Growth Although there Is no way of ascer taining accurately the number of new recruits enrolled as golf devotees each reason. It has been estimated that no fewer than 100,000 Join the rank 3 every year. And those who are in a position to judge state that this esti mate is conservative. There is no doubt that golf now has more actual participants than any other sport. Baseball has thousands of players and millions of spectators each sea son, but when it comes to actual play ers golf unquestionably has more than baseball. This Is true because there are no age limits or weight limits in golf. A groat many players play golf to make weight, but if they had to make weight to play—well, that would be different. A critic who recently made an ex haustive effort to determine just how manv new players enlist to pursue the elusive ball over the links of this country every year declared that as nearly as can be figured out 100,000 Is about right. Many Golf Courses There are approximately 11.000 golf courses in this country. This num ber does not include the links laid out on many private estates. There is no wav of finding out how many of these there are. If it were possible It would be found the total number of courses would be greatly increased. Some idea of the growth of golf can be gleaned from what has trans pired in this district. No doubt the growth here has been greater than in pome less thickly populated sections of the country, but it is safe to state that the growth of the game has been in. proportion everywhere. Growth In New York Five years ago it was estimated that not more than 50Q persons played on the public courses at Van Cortlandt and Pelham Bay parks. This year more than'7,ooo permits have been is sued to players for Van Cortlandt, Mosholu and Pelham. That's an in crease of 1.400 per cent, in five years, or a yearly increase of approximately 300 per cent. .. , Officials declare that It is nothing unusual for as many as 500 cards to be issued at Van Cortlandt alone to plavers on Saturdays, Sundays holidays. It must be remembered that they begin to play as early as 4:.>0 in the morninp these days anj don t finish until 6:30 o'clock at night. Old-Timers to Play For Red Cross Benefit Chicago. June 27.

THE GREAT LEFT WHICH BEAT THE BOSTON TAR BABY ' ■ doubtable ''Tar liaby" of Boston, B Sam Langford, who for many yeara VI 'PffflMW'a years. Copyright, 1917, The Tribune Association (New York Tribune). IN NO-MAN'S LAND In No-Man's Land, I wonder If The gray ghosts meet when night droops down? To talk of charge and counter-charge, Of trench attack or blazing town.? To laugh, maybe, at fear or pain. They knew before the shrapnel's sweep? Or, are they now content to know A dreamless and eternal sleep? In No-Man's Land, I wonder now If phantom millions meet at night To talk of rose-sweet years at home Before they toppled In the fight? , Of one who waited through the dusk When, summer winds were on the wing; Or, are they happy now to' know The sleep that only graves can bring? I wonder if they ever dream Of ancient fields and country lanes? Of tangled roses by the gate— Of one with rose-blood in her veins? Or do they dream of crashing on ■ With old commands in some new fight? Or, are they now content to know The sleep that lasts beyond the night? THE LEADING THRILL The loading thrill of war is as hard to determine as the leading thrill of sport where any number of rebuttals are offered. We had always heard and believed that war's main thrill came in an airplane attack some 10,000 or 12,000 feet above the ground. This theory sounded more reasonable than any other. A day or two ago we put this query up to a British aviator -just back from the Somme front. "There are thrills enough to go around," he said, "without awarding any Individual verdict. Air fighting is about as thrilling a matter as one could expect to find. But don't forget the thrill that comes to the Infantry when one first starts over the top. That has a bit of a kick in it too. And there Is still another phase. The man working a machine gun In the face of a rugged assault also has his share of the thrill allotment. It Is up to him in the main to smash this assault, and, unless he does, there is gen erally but one answer. As he sees the front lines melt away before his fire, with new lines crashing on, I should say that he faces about all the excitement one human heart can carry for the time being." It's a shame the way Ty Cobb has continued to slip. He has only been batting .524 for the last month, but the excessive heat has accounted in part for this otherwise unaccountable skidding. The citizen who wagered that Eddie Roush, of the Reds, would outbat his old Fed rival, Benny Kauft, of the Giants, may not collect, but we doubt very much that any on.e could get him to call oft the bet for a 50 per cent, cash dividend just at this steamy moment. THE LONE CINCH Any country that can develop 100 men willing to be umpires should have no trouble at all in developing 6,000,000 men willing to battle in first-line trenches. THE MAIN UPSET Between now and September 1 the draft list will be taken In. and more than two or three big league ball players are sure to be called. It may be that some arrangement will be made to permit these finishing out of the season. And then again it may not be. Just whether an equal number will be lifted from each club is still another puzzle that waits ahead. But the plain and unadorned facts are that the draft may yet upset expected conditions and revise considerable mid-summer dope. For ex ample, it is easy enough to know where the Red Sox would finish minus Babe Ruth. Everett Scott, Dutch Leonard and Lewis and Hooper. Provided an equal amount of all-star baseball flesh was not carved from rival clubs. . HALF-STRIDES One of the greatest philosophies extant is to figure in advance the worst that can happen and then train the system for the shock. The nen is mightier than the sword only until the clinch arrives. , "You've never had to knit four hours a day," writes one of them: "but if you did, would you keep your eye on the needle or on the sweater'" Neither. On the clock. * If the full revenue is to be raised without effort, why not put an excess conversation tax on the million golfers who inhabit this dlzay common wealth ? MARTIN WINNER WITH BIG SCORE; IS BADLY HURT Finishing with high score record for the day, John G. Martin, former president of the Harrisburg Sports men's Association, yesterday met with an accident that may keep him out of his favorite sport for some time. Martin had rolled up a total of 147, and his record for straight breaks was 77. He went to the clubhouse to rec ord his score in his diary and stood under a window. The latter opened on a pivot. A rush of wind ble\y the window shut with a bang. Mar tin put up his hands to protect his face from the flying glass, and his left hand came in contact with a large piece of glass. The first finger was cut Into the bone, the lacera tion being two Inches in length. A gash three inches long was made in the second finger. May Not Shoot To-day First aid experts gave prompt at tention .to the wounded sportsman, and later he had his injuries dress ed by a surgeon. The latter advised Martin to take good care and was of the opinion that it would be ad visable not to handle a gun for at least two weeks. Martin was not certain that he would get Into the shoot to-day. Yesterday's program opened a two-day registered shot and found many crack shots from all over the state as well as several prominent professionals In the line-up. Good scores were prominent and It was an Ideal day for trapshooting. Hustling Managers This big event Is under the man agement of Lioyd R. Lewis and Leonard Clark, well-known trap shooting authorities and who have been prominent at many big shoots'. There were ten events yesterday of fifteen targets each with SSO ton tributed by the Harrisburg Sports men's Association. Harrisburg and West Falrvlew shooters were pacemakers and fin ished a successful day. Mrs. Ray Boyer, the only woman in the Con test, won much favor by her clever work. She broke 127 targets. A total of 145 brought second honor to three shooters, O. K Eshenour, P. Burger and Fred Ding-' er, the latter a local shooter. N. Apgar and A. A. Sommers, profes sional shooters, broke 146 each.

Girl's Shin Bone Is Grafted to Her Spine Mahanoy City, Pa., June 25.—In jured by falling from a ladder three years ago. and taking the choice of an operation which would mean cer tain death or a possibility of living without being a permanent cripple, nine-year-old Elizabeth Harloy, of Pottsville, submitted to a delicate operation on her spine at the State Hospital at Fountain Springs. Dr. J. c. Biddle bared the spine for five inches and grafted a five inch piece of her shin bone, which he sawed away with an electrical saw. Surgeons witnessed the opera tion with amazement. It was a suc cess. Girl Called 'Chicken' on Street Car; Company Pays Trenton, N. J., June 27.—An opin ion was filed in the Supreme Court by Justice Trenchard sustaining a verdict of $1,072.79 recovered by Miss Helen Hoff, of Bayonne, against the Public Service Railway Company because a crowd of drunken men on a car of the company called her a "chicken," and struck her in a brawl.

To do this It was necessary to add ovor $1 500,- 000 to the highway bill, making it carry $12,520,519.78. To clear up the township the Item for the purpose was made $3,015,519.78. The amendments behind which were Senators Jones and other 'ad vocates of good roads, will clear up all claims from 1910. The amend ments were very well received In the House. The Senate concurred in the House resolution urging the passage of the food control bill now pending in Congress and when its leaders realiz ed that this action carried with it a virtual endorsement of the prohibi tion provisions contained in the bill as it passed the National House of Representatives, a motion to recon sider the resolution was adopted and it was sent {o the Senate commlttea on health and sanitation. The resolution was introduced in the House at the morning session by Representative Rhodes, Fayette, and was adopted without discussion. No one rose in the Senate to oppose It when tho resolution reached the Sen ate for consideration, but two hours later Senator McNlchol, Philadel phia, moved that it be reconsidered and the motion was seconded by Senator McKee, Allegheny. The Senate spent most of the night waiting for action on the "mine cave" bills and concurring in House amendments. The general appro priation bill did not come out. The automobile bill underwent considerable changes. The commit tee reduced the age limit to sixteen years and changed the time when license fees shall be cut in half from July 1 to September 1. The mini mum fee was raised for pleasure cars of less than thirty-five horse power to ten dollars. Other cars were untouched. The rates made for solid tires were: Less than 3,000 pounds, $10; less than 4,000 pounds, sls; less than 5,000 pounds, S2O; less than 7,000 pounds, $25; above 7,000 pounds, S3O. All trailers were increased accord ingly, and dealers' fees increased to .sls, while members and general of ficers of Legislature will be exempt from license fees. The bill takes ef fect January 1, 1918. NEW APPARATUS Marietta.

The Smith Shop team of the BIG SLAUGHTER OF HOUSE BILLS Over 150 Arc Stricken From Calendar Upon One Motion The biennial slaughter of bills oc curred In the House last evening when over 150 bills which had orig inated in the House were stricken from the calendar by motion carried about 10.30 when members realized the end was at hand. Thia action killed the workmen's compensation amendments; the Democratic "trust , buster," Philadelphia small council, soldiers' pension, Pittsburgh tax and other bills which have attracted much notice. Fifty hills for new highway routes also Went down. The House had cleaned up appro priation bills and was working on final reading calendar of over 260 bills when Mr. Powell, Luzerne, moved to strike off a couple of his own bills. Mr. Phillips, Clearfield, moved to amend by striking off all House bills. He said most of them would never be reached In time to get to the Senate for action anyway. The motion passed with shouts. It had been looked for most of the day. Speaker Baldwin last night warn ed the members of the House that, he would exercise all the power he had to preserve order while addresses were being made. The Speaker threatened to send sergeants-at-arms to enforce quiet. "I intend to see that there is order if I have to clear I the hall,'' said he. While Mr. Snyder, Westmoreland, was speaking he complained of mem bers annoying him. He threatened to name them. Later on the Speaker called mem- Select Lumber Carefully Do not build with material to-day that will cause you to Patch and Repair to morrow.
