SERIES IN FRANCE
Organized Baseball Is Not
Dead, Just Transferred
Abroad
Organised baseball Is not killed; It
merely Is transferred to "somewhere In
Franco" for tho duration of the war.
Such la the expressed opinion of John
Thomas Powers, organizer and first
president of the late Federal League,
who Is golnff to Franco with tho wdl
detalled Intention of grldlronlng that
fair land with baseball leagues of gradu
ally Increasing Importance, from the
andlots teams which practice In No
Man's Land up to tho real big league
champions which will settle the suprem
acy on diamonds In the south of France
next winter.
"Tho next world's championship base
ball scrips will be decided 'somewhere
In Franti1,' '' snys 'ohn Thomas Powers,
and while he does not go so far as to
predict the exact leagues which will
clash. In this classic so fur from Its na
tive heath, he concedes It may lie be
tween the Y. M, C. A. Leaguo leader
and the K. of C. Leaguo topllner. In
asmuch as he has a long record of or
ganizing baseball leaguis, from Inter
church up to nation-wide organizations,
Jlr, Powers's prediction Is well worth
considering, particularly as he adds
convincing facts.
Jlr. Powers Is going to France as a
T. M. C. A. physical director, with spe
cial attention to the organizing of base
ball "over there." In addition to or
ganizing the Federal League, of which
he was president In 1913, he organized
the Wisconsin-Illinois League, tho Ne
vada State League, the Colorado-Utah
Leaguo and forty local leagues In Chi
cago. "My scheme Is to have a leaguo In
every regiment," explained Mr. Powers.
"These can bo organized by the Y. M.
C. A. physical directors and by elimina
tion produco their champion teams. ' The
regimental champions will have contests
for tho division championship and the
division champions will fight for the
corps championship. Eventually will
come the series for the championship of
the army, which will be tho same as
the world's championship If baseball Is
shut down In this country. All the best
young players affected by the War De
partment ruling will be In tho army.
"With all tho best talent there and
good new talent coming to tho surface
we ought to havo some games. This
carrying real baseball to the soldiers
Isn't Just a time-killer, but a necessary
measure to keep up tho morale of our
boys over there

DRIVE BALL OVER 200-YARD
FENCE AT HOG ISLAND?
CINCH! SAYS MAX MARSTON
He and Ouimct and Guilford Sent Golf Ball Over 223
Yard Fence at Detroit Ball Grounds
in Fall of 1915
By WILLIAM
SOME baseball fani and a lone golfer
got Into an argument the day tho
big Hog Island baseball field opened
for play. Standing at the home plate
the eight foot fenee that mrrounds the
ground seemed to be a mile nway so
when the golf bug tald that a golfer
could stand at the home plate and drive
a ball oer the fence the baseball fans
told him politely that he as crazy Hut
he q not ns crazy n the followers of
Connie Mack and Pat Moran think he Is
The problem was put tip to me hut the
baseball man who as there got his dis
tances sadly befuddled for he hnld the
left-field fence was 600 yards from tho
plate while the center Held fence was
a hundred jards further Of course
there was no argument for even Jesse
(ullford could not Fend a golf ball that
far and there Is tint a man In tho coun
try who hits It farther
Later on I got In touch with the pub.
Ilclty men nt the Island nnd while at
first they stuck out for the a'rds they
admitted later that the yards should
have been feet.
Pipe, Sas Marslon
I asked Max MarMon about It today
and he said It would be a cinch All th.it
Is necessary for the publicity me-j to
do is to but buy a few golf balls and I
feel sure that Mnrston 111 do the rcbl,
If he can find the time.
Way back In 1915 they held the na
tional amateur coif chjmnirauhin ..t
the Country Club of Detroit, and In
tho morning some of the players used tn
run out to the course to s.ee the golfers
in action Hughle Jennings was one
of the scoffers, and the argument arose
a.s to wnether the golfers rould drive
a golf ball over the Detrolts' center
Held fenre ftom the homo nlato. None
of the ballplayers had sent the hnrsi.
hide over and Hughle did not think
much about the ability of th golfers
223 Yards Over Six-Foot Fence
So a party was arranged for the day
after tho final match, and the party was
to he made up of Marston, Jerry Trov
er. Francis Oulmet and Jesse Guilford,
all mighty swatters. There was a record
breaking crowd at the ball game," and
Hughle held up the contest long enough
for the experiment. Tt avers could not
come, but the other three were on the
spot, and that baseball crowd .sat hack
and got leady to gho the golferj tho
merry laugh
MarMon was the first man to step to
the plate, anil while tho fans got merry
with much f-cofflng and hooting, Max
calmly proceeded to hit the ball one
mighty clout, and away It .sailed grace
fully over the fenc That was enough
for the fans, nnd they were quiet when
Oulmet teed his ball Onco more tho ball
traveled straight and true, disappearing
over that fenco like a. swallow. Gull
ford, tho king of long-distance hitters,
was kept to the last, and Jesse put every
ounce of beef into his well-timed shot.
There were some youngsters In a tree
thirty feet back of that center
field fence. The ball cleared the fence
by twenty feet, and struck tho tree on
a bound, almost scaring those youngsters
out of the limbs.
How About It, Hog Island?
Afterwards the distance was measured,
and it developed that thn fence, which
was six feet high, was Jut 223 yards
from the home plate, ho that Clullford's
ball carried about 230 yards before It
hit tho earth
It If. no wonder that Marston savs It
will be a cinch to drive a ball from
the homo plate at Hog Island over that
eight-foot left-field fence.
The record fungo dilve with a base
ball Is that of Kd Walsh, who on Sep
tember .10. 1011, drove 419 feet one-half
Inch I know several golfers who have
passed the seventy-year marl; who can t I?J
hit a golf ball farther than that, and M
thing nothing of it. Compare that with I j
the record drive of Guilford at Plnehurst I 3
of 393 yards, and this drive was meas- j 3
