Walter Johnson has not yet signed with the Washingtons. Rumor has it that the great pitcher is'dissatis- fied with Clark -Griffith's offer. John- son, it will. be remembered, signed with the Chicago Federals early in 1916 for $20,000 a year, it was said. Johnson then repudiated the Feds and signed a three-years' contract with Griffith for,$12,000 a year. This contract expired in October and Grif fith, it is said, wants Johnson to ac- cept not more than $10,000 in view of the fact that interest im baseball at the Capital is at a low ebb.

By Frank McKinnon, best jumper in Eastern Canada The man who wishes to be a ski jumper must first get a good pair of skis. Footwear also require attention and a good strong boot with heavy sole and medium heel with low up- pers is the best. On no account should high boots be used as they have a tendency to stiffen the ankle and in case of a fall to cause muscles! to be strained. THE heel of the boot should be shaped to fit. hatness and be fitted | into the,irons so that the skis are| known the take off and after the landing. Before attempting. jumping the skier must first be able to contro his skis perfectly so that om the swift approach to the take off he is stéady and can take the spring for- { ward at the right moment. As style counts in points by which] jumping is judged it is well to give| attention to it. At the taKe off thel gpring forward should be as steady| as possible so that the passage | through the air may show erect posi- tion and also prepare for a standing landing. The body naturally bends when the snow is touched but should| be straightened as quick as possi- ble. The beginner should start over al small jump to gain his confidence, al-) though the larger jumps with speedy | approaches are really the easier| when he feels that hie can go over} ! 1 The great essential in jumping is| an entire disregard for falls. While ie looks very dangerous, there 'has not 'been an acident in any ef the Ski Club eompetitions nor even in practice. The falls cause a shaking up, but that is all, and the success- ful jumper makes up his mind that he has to have lots of these before he can count himself competent to enter competitions. It is, of course, a sport for boys and young men, and should be taken up as young as possible, At present there are lots of boys of fifteen who are getting good distances, with style, and they will, by continuing, make the best of jumpers as they gain strength, No sport can give the 'thrill that comes from a. jump of good distance and with the splendid winters A Eastern Canada there is no Testa why Canadians should not rank with Europeans in coming years. LAJ on E'S W FARN ESSS, Low Curve Ball Is Nap's Batting Average 'Hoodoo. Napoleon Lajoie, baseball's most after by the major league managers because the impression prevails that 'he can not hits low curve ball. It has been discovered of late years, ac- cording to thé managérs, that this was tha veteram's most noticeable weakness and the sole reason that he ig not as yet chosen for the big time eircuit. In the season of 1916, Nap petter- ed out as a hitter when with the Ath- letics and was allowed to drift to the Toronto Club. The fact that Lajoie boosted his batting average quite high last year is attributed to the. fact that the moundsmen of the International eir- PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE FOR EUROPE A Six Club Organization With Teams in London and Paris.
