Lyon, of Toronto, Is Still Going Strong at Sixty-eight Years. Toronto, Aug. 23.--Few, if any, veteran golfers can boast of a mors enviable record in the royal and ancient pastime than George S. Lyon, of the Lambton Golf Club, Toronto Lyon's meteoric rise in the world of golf way back in 1896 at the ripe age of thirty-eight, and his title-win- ning stunts over a stretch of thirty years, read like a novel. . Today, at sixty-eight, this sturdy limbed golfer is a vigorous as most men half his age and still able to shoot. par over some of the most difficult courses in Canada. On his sixty-eighth birthday recently Can- ada's grandest old golfer did the Lambton course at Toronto in par 72. For a man his age the Toronto veteran plays a remarkable game, He can still get better than ° 200 yards off the tee and his irom play- would do credit to many of the lead- ing amateurs in the United States and: Canada today. The Canadian veteran swung his first golf club in 1896. Two years later he stepped out ond captured the Canadian amateur championship, Between 1898 and 1914 he won the Canadian honors eight times and fin- ished runner-up on two other occa- sions. In 1910 he was runner-up to Dan- fel Kenny for the Canadian open championship. In 1906 Lyon played his way Into the finals of the United States national amateur at Engle- wood. E. M. Byers of the Allegheny Country Club defeated him for the is an enviable one for he is the only Canadian 'ever to reach the title Sk 23.--Gertrude |. round in the nat{pnal amateur event. For the last seven years Lyon has captured the Canadian senior golf championship and he will again de- fend his title against all comere at the annual tournament in eastern Canada in September, Before taking up golf, he ranked as one of Canada's greatest cricket- ers and holds the highest scoring record ever established in the game in the Dominion, 257 runs, net out, 8 mark that has never since been JTeached by any other cricketer in Canada. . I -------------- | Toronto Makes Big Gain On Sunday rain prevented the game between Toronto and Newark in the International League, but nevertheless the Leafs gained con- siderable ground, as their rivals, the Baltimore Orioles, lost a double- header to Syracuse on their. home diamond. The scores were 6-0 and 6-2. . Released By Chicsgo, Aug. 23.--Babbit Maran- ville, veteran infielder, has been un- conditionally released, from the Brooklyn National League club, ac- cording to an announcement today by Manager Wilbert Robinson. Ma- ranville has returned to Brooklyn and may play no more ball this year. mete New World's Record. Salém, N.J., Aug. 23 .-- A new world's record was claimed today when' Jim Davis, veteran motor- cycle racer, attained a speed of 118.4 miles an hour on the Rockingham motor speedway here.

Risto NEW YORK RAaens| Number of Players Already Signed by Hockey : Team. Toronto, Aug. 23.--Three. Toron- to men will guide the destinies of the New York Rangers in the Na tional Hockey League next winter, according to The Globe today "Conny" Smythe will! be the man- ager, Frank Carroll, the coach, and Percy Ryan will likely be thk trainer. "Among players reported signed by the Rangers are: 'Ching' John- son, Minneapolis defence man; 'Pots' Calighen, of the Owen Sound jun: lors; 'Spary' Vail, the Meaford boy with 'the 'North Bay juniors; Eimer Maracle, North Bay; White, of Fort William; Alex. Gray and Lorne Cha- bot, of Port Arthur: Murdock, of Winnipeg, former University of Manitoba; and Louis Hudson, of the University of Toronto seniors. John- son received a three-year contract at $7,600 a season, and it is under- stood that Gray and Chabot took the leap when offered $5,000 a year. No confirmation of the Hudson deal has been secured." ---------- | Billy Evans Says _The Case of Stmmons. It there is ome thing & major lea- gue ball player should do, it is to run out the ball every time he is at bat. I understand that is one of the things that recently caused Connie Mack to suspend Al Simmons, voted by the baseball experts of Philadel- phia as the most valuable man on the Athletics last season. It is the unusual for a player to come to bat more than five times in a game, four is closer to the average, 80 it is not asking very much of him to run out every hit. . No club in either major leagué ad- heres more closely to this theory than Cleveland. Manager Tris Speak- er sets the example by going to first at top speed, regardless of where he hits the ball. One thing that caused me to ad- mire Outfielder Jamieson of Cleve- land before he developed into a rea. ly great player, was the determineq manner in which he set out for first every time he hit the ball. i ---------- Must Take Work A be regretted that Manager nd it necessary to discipline Al Simmons. Mack is reticent about taking such severe ac- tion, so no doubt it was deserved. Simmons is a great ball player but he can wreck his own usefulness as well as a brilliant career unless he takes his baseball seriously. Walter Hagen, ' famous golfer, spoke large gobs of wisdom, when he sald no player in any sport could hope for success unless he took his own particular game seriously. He gave that as the reason for the Bri- tons' slump in golf. 3 Last season Simmons was the big noise of the American League. He finished with a mark of .386, three points away from Tris Speaker 'who finished second and seven shy of Harry Hellmann who led the league in batting. Many experts predicted that Sim- mons would be the Isdgue leader of 1926. Instead, we find Simmons suspend- ed for weak batting and indifferent fielding. Perhaps the best moral to this tale is--be serious. ---- psually very|, Monday, August.23; 1926. y TIMELY RE-ROOF FOR 50 YEARS WITH EDHAM KOLORED SHINGLES They will save you time, labor, money and add beauty and charm to your home.
