Sports of all kinds are thriving in Great Britain despite the air raids of the Huns and the stress of war business. During the soccer season, which recently came to a close in Scotland, the total gate receipts amounted to nearly $60,M0,0f which the Government was tax was a trifle less than $18,000. Some of the games for the championship of the Scottish League drew 100,000 spectators, Racing is booming and popular as ever, although now confined to New- market, On Derby day there were eight races and the victory of Gains borough in the Blue Riband was a popular triumph for Lady James Douglas, who is the first woman to win the Derby, Her success was all the more pleasing because she is also the breeder of the winner.

Has Had Much to Do With Britain's Success fn War. "The sportsman is one of Nature's most complete and elaborate produc- tions," says Dr. Claye Shaw in the «current Baily's, in'the course of a striking article entitled "Défence of the Sportsman." Dr. Shaw is an em- inent physician, who is writing what he knows when he speaks of the fusion of muscle and mind. "He is, among other things, examiner in mental physiology at the University of London and to the Board of Stu- dies, Army Medical Service. A most cminent and everlasting tribute to the value of sport is eontainéd in the sentence: "When wa have won this war,it will be acknowledged that our cultivation of sport has had largely to do with it." 2 The testimony of Dr. Claye Shaw, given above, was endorsed recently from an entirely different quarter, but by an authority equally eminent, General Sir W. Pitcairn Campbell, G,0.C., Western Command, speaking at Liverpool; said: "So long as we have sport England will always come out on top." General Pitcairn Camp- bell is not-the only distinguished offi- cer who has publicly expressed sim- ilar views. These are the men who know of what they speak; with their finger on the national pulse, they are able to diagnose the nation's need. @ best bet in the Am- erican League is Boston, with New York a close second: il) VIRGINIA -PackedinFoil . - Always Fresh of' PLACE HITTING RARE : SAYS TYRUS R. COBB Declares It Is Impossible to Place Hits With Very Much Accuracy. If there is any secret in place hit- ting, #t is locpted in the ability of the batter to keep his eye on the ball from the time it has left the pitcher's hand until it is almost to the plate. This is the opinion of Ty Cobh, who comes as close to real place hit- ting as any one in baseball. But Cobb admils that it is impossibla to place hits with any great degre of accuracy. "It might be," the coach says, "af every ball delivered by the pitcher cut the plate at a certain pre-detor- mined spot. In fact, when a batter gets one in his 'groove' he is able to place it with pretty fair accuracy. "But the wise pitcher is keeping the batter guessing--throwing hin off his balance----keeping him fror getting a toe hold. "Now, Willie Keeler," the pride of Georgia continued, "perhaps was the best of the so-called place hitters. Keeler combined several things to make this possible. "He gripped his bat far down to- ward the middle and poked at the ball, rather than hit at it. His swing was short and naturally more accu- rate than the longer swings of the average batter. oA "He. was able to wait until the ball was almost upon 'him before poking at it. Many of Keeler's hits were poky little flies, just past the infield. ficult for any pitcher to outguess Keeler. His record of going through a season without striking out is evi- dence of this. : "The angle at which the bat meets the ball is the determining factor in the ball's ultinate direction. "If the ball is met squarely in the middle of the swing it will go to centre field, varying a trifle to the right or left, according to whether the batter is right or left handed. "The left-handed batter hits natur- ally 'to right field. The right-hand- ed batter hits naturally to left field. "If the batter meets the Hall Baek of his body, the angle at which the ball is met 'will send it into opposite fields." " Miles Main guit the Phillies early last week. He told Pat Moran that his arm 'was bad and that he could not do himself justice. He said he was going to his farm in the middle west, but instead landed with the Le- { bannon team, of the Steel League, bad arm and all, + "The delayed swing made it dif- Lieut.
