Poor Showing In Athletics
Traced To Playing Golf
'By Associated Pressi
LONDON,' Apr. 16.—England's de
terioration in athletics, as measured
by international contests, is due to
paying too much attention to golf,
in the opinion of Leo Ma\e, editor
of the "National Review.”
England has been beaten year af
ter year by the Australians at crick
et, avers Mr. Maxse, who goes on to
say: “We play second fiddle to Am
erica at polo, and third fiddle to Am-,
erica and France at lawn tennis, and
we cut a poor figure at the Olympic
games in Paris last year, all because
the talents and enthusiasm that we
ought to devote to real games have
been on that lazy, selfish, paltry pas
time of golf.”
Wm. Erwin, Standard Oil manager,
left today for a trip over the railroad
in the interests of his company.

ELLSWORTH’S
With 260 Room Residence
Owner Happiest In Cellar
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Apr. 16.—Sir Everard
Harnbro, a director of the Bank of
England, who died recently at the
age of S3, was owner of one of the
largest residences in the world, but
he never called it a palace of a cas
tle, preferring it to be known always
| merely as his home. The Harnbro
I house in Dorsetshire was known to
j the neighbors as Milton Abbey, get
j ting its name from the fact that ori
ginally it was a monastery. It was
| remodeled many years ago by Sir
| Everard and, taking in all the old
I nooks of the ancient buildings, was
i found to have about 260 rooms.
Sir Edward was extremely simple
: in his tastes, and one of his favorite
| remarks to his intimate friends was
; that his home contained about 225
! rooms more than he required. Out
side of his library, the favorite haunt
1 of Sir Everard was the basement.
Here he had fixed up a work shop,
and spent many hours each day pot
tering around with hammers and
saws and other tools used by work
ers in wood. The banker frequent
| ly remarked that he had always, in
i a way, regretted that he had not
j been a cabinet maker by trade.
' The Harnbro London banking firm
i of which Sir Everard was the head,
j contained some of the finest financial
traditions of the last century. The
company assisted materially in the
reconstruction of Italy after the fi
nancial disaster which overtook the
country in the days of Napoleon.

THE DRIVIN' FOOL"
LIBERTY
Announced for presentation at the
Liberty theater, tonight is the W. W.
Hodkinson feature, ‘‘The Drivin’
Fool,” with Wally Van and an all
star cast including Patsy Ruth Mil
ler, Alec B. Francis, Ramsey Wal
lace, and others. No photoplay brot
to the screen in recent years con
tains such a conglomeration of speed
and fast-moving action as doe® this
special, produced by Regents Pic
tures Corporation, and which won
praise from the critics on its pre-re
lease showing.
‘‘The Drivin’ Fool” has been des
cribed as the fastest motion picture
ever produced. In addition, it com
bines clean cut comedy with a sweet
little love story and demonstrates
what excess energy may accomplish
when devoted to useful pursuits. An
automobile dash across the conti
nent, pursuit by autos, motorcycles,
airplane, traffic cops and crooks,
wild bursts of speed thru mountain
and plain, and a final dash into New
York City on the running board of
a piece of fire apparatus, these make
for genuine thrills which keep the
spectator at fever heat during the
entire unfolding of the story.
Wally Van, as Hal Locke, has a
mania for fast auto driving which is
constantly getting him in hot water,
not only with the law, but with his
father and likewise his sweetheart.
But, when the family fortune is at
stake, and it is necessary to deliver
a check from San Francisco to New
York within six days and with the
railroads of the country tied up by
a nationwide strike, it is Hal’s fast
driving, in the face of seemingly in
surmountable odds, that turns the
trick and thwarts the scheming Wall
Street broker, who through a techni
cality plans to take over the busi
ness and fortune of Hal’s parent and
his partner, the father of Hal’s sweet
heart.
The decision and photography are
especially good, the scenes in the
snow capped Sierras, and across the
Rockies being unusually effective.
Alec Francis appears as the senioi
partner, and father of Hal’s sweet
heart* Patsy Ruth Miller, with Wil
ton Taylor cast in the role of the
elder Locke. Ramsay Wallace and
Wilfred North play heavy roles,
while considerable comedy is inject
ed by Jesse J. Aldriche, in the role
of Horatio Jackson Lee St. Albans.
