He gives thought to | every ball pitched. He is constantly | looking over his playing fleld to see #8 a joke in the senior | intercolle- slate hockey race. : The bald undeniable figures stand | ont as proof of this fact and no crit- fcs can gainsay them. Queen's have won three games out of five played and will likely make the final stand- ing read four won and two lost after they meet Montreal University at the ond of this week. Even supposing some freak of fortune should give the Frenchmen a victory, Queen's would still have three games to their credit, and this is a greater record than has stood out for them in many, | many years. In the past few years the Queen's senior intercollegiate team has been looked upon in the same light as its rugby team once was, The rughy team won last year's Canadian cham- plonship and the hockey team has started out on a road that is lead- ing toward the top. g There Is something encouraging EI the fact that in the fall of 1921 Queen's lost to 'Varsity the game which would have made them rugby shampions, and the next year came Pack and won their game on the same fleld, eventually eliminating "thelr powertul rivals.

ONE POPPED BALL; TWO RUNNERS OUT Andy Lotshaw, veteran player and now trainer of the Chicago Cubs, says the most amazing play he ever saw on the ball field happened at Milwaukee last summer when he was connected with the Indianapolis club. "At the Milwaukee park the stand comes within five or six feet of third base," says Andy. 'There is just space enough for the coacher's box. 'Indianapolis had two men base, Doug Baird at third and Hank Schreiber at second. Covington, our batter, hit a high ball toward third that looked as if it was going foul into the stand. "Schreiber came from second, rounded third and stood just behind Baird, who had led a little off the base. They both paused there and watched the ball as it come down. Suddenly the wind caught it and blew it into fair territory. "It descended like a bullet ang struck Baird on the shoulder. Then it bounded off and before it landed on the ground smacked Schreiber on the back. Umpire O'Brien called both runners out, hit by a batted ball. that before on the ball fleid." FIRPO A WHALE DOING BUSINESS Luis Firpo may not be such a whale of a fighter, but he is no second rater when it comes to coax- ing in the shekels. He put over a clever deal on his .fellow-Argen- tinlans recently that netted him just $28,000. Twenty-eight years old, unmar- ried and the best Argentine has in the way of heavyweights, Firpo ranks next to the president in popu- larity. This popularity he used to obtain a permit from the Argentine gov- ernment for a fight with Jim Tracy. Then he sold the concession for the equivalent of $28,000. The match was staged by Senor August, a former bank clerk. The on | I never did see anything like | advance seat sale was $65,000 and the total receipts were estimated at close to $150,000.

A few weeks ago it was reported that Scott, whcse contract at Ala- bama is ended, would become coac at Dayton university, but he w now make no plans for the future 'until his health mends, "old guard" in | {that infielders and outfielders shift | properly for the style of pitch he has signalled for. | When Hal Chase wis playing first {base for the Chicago White Sox, he lard Schalk pulled many a remark- j able play.

As to the play at third: With a visiting runner on first base and no one out, the batsman |laid down a bunt, which both the [third baseman and pitcher wept af- ter. The pitcher handled the bunt, | getting the runner at first base on a Klose play. The third baseman, in Torder to get out of the pitcher's way {in fielding the ball, {fallen to the ground. | The baserunner originally on first | third base was uncovered as he jrounded second base. He decided to |try for third. Ray Schalk had de- {fined the intention of the base run- | ner before he reached second, and |had raced down to third base from his position back to the plate. i Hal Chase had also sized up the |situation. He held his throw until | Schalk was able to get into position [to receive it. Then he made a fast, {accurate throw to third. Schalk re- [cerved the throw a fraction of a and managed to get the ball on him by had purposely making a dive for the runner as he! started his hook-slide into the base. It was a most remarkable play be- cause it required quick thinking on part, and even faster execu- tion for him to reach third ahead of |the runner. To complete the play it required a perfect throw by Chase, On the other play, it seems Schalk {ana Chase agreed that when a bats- {man singled to right field with no |one out, Chase would continue to {play a deep first base and pay no |attention to the runner. This was to cause the runmer to round second in case the ball was fumbled. Schalk"s part of the play was to rush to first just behind the runner. It was the duty of the right fielder to make a snap throw to Schalk, in Pick out the teams that are winning and you will find they get their Sticks from the Sporting Goods Store. WHY ?
