+ THE DAI v BRITISH WHIS LY TEA STRENGTHENED INSTEAD OF WEAKENED "Crippled" Team Hands King- ston 4-1 Drubbing--Jun= lor Catcher Makes Good. Oshawa's "crippled" team has left the impression in the minds of the Kingston fans that it has been strengthened, if anything, for so it seemed last night when the Spark Plugs handed Daiey-Gallagher and Company a 4-1 drubbing in a contest which brought forth a. number of amazipg things. Cherry and Compeau, going after R. Fair's fly in the first, had a little collision which put each out for the count and held up the game for fif- teen minutes. Compeau came back and executed ten perfect chances, Cherry grabbed off six flies--and it might bess" well to shake them up in this manner before each game in the future. Later in the game Um- pires Nurse and Allen had a little altercation which seemed to end amicably. Somerville had seven per- fect chances. Last, but not least, little Jack Broad, junior player of Oshawa, jumped into Al. Tyson's shoes, finished up eleven of Dainty's | strike-outs, worked his batters like & veteran and had only one flivver when he made a bad throw of a ball bunted close to the plate, ' The first innings was Ted Galla- gher's hoodoo and the Kingston port- sider was not going well, by any means. The first man flied to Cherry. The second lined oné over Cherry's head for two bases. The next singl- + ed and then Dainty sent both home + with a double. Dainty went down at third when Wilson grounded to Compeau. R. Fair singled and Ward sent two more over with a long sin- gle, and was caught napping off first himself, In Kingston's half Nickle made first when Dainty spoiled an easy grounder. Compeau breezed and Bat- stone grounded to Ward. Somerv'ila picked off a nice one to score Nickle and made second when R. Fair boot- ed it. Cherry singled and stole sec- ond and Daley walked---and then Dainty, with that mean way he has, struck out Purvis and left three Ponies reclining on the platters. The scoring ended there and the _ sensational fielding started. Dainty pitched wonderful ball and his out- ~ fielders worked well. Gallagher pitched only mediocre ball, struck ~ out none, but a marvellous streak ' of Inflelding and steady outfielding held him up and Oshawa scored no more, There is little more to tell about the game. It was pretty baseball after the first frame but the hitting Was absent on both sides. Kingston gathered only five safe ones and Cherry had three of those with Gal- lagher and Somerville accounting for one each. The Ponies, after «the * first, had singles in the second, sixth and ninth. Oshawa had two singles ~ after their first five, picking them off ~ in the third and eighth. In the fifth Cherry had one catch 'Worthy of special mention when he Tan In far and then took a flying dive at the ball, coming up with it safely "speared. : The crowd was not a pleasant tem- j Dainty, Pp is SPORTING pered one though it was very large. § About the only individual who drew any favor from the fans were the ice- | cream vendors and they did a flour- | ishing business.

SOomooouroool COCO HN WMHMS b in 27 17 last THE TODDLER IS TO STAGE A COME-BACK Cleveland, July 10.--Harness horse fans throughout the country are watching with unusual interest the progress of The Toddler, 2:03 1-4, in the stable of Harry Stinson, noted Canuck trainer, who has been located at North Randall for many years," A few seasons ago, The Toddler, a son of Kentucky Todd, was one of the sensations of the Grand Cir- cuit, In 1920 at Columbus he sprang a great surprise when he trotted the; third heat of the $3000 Neil Housa Stake in the fast time of 2:03 1-4, beating such good ones as Wilkes- brewer and Royal Mack in a six-heat race. His last appearance was in 1921, when he was three times first in five starts and never back of third money. 4 Near the close of the 1921 season Stinson announced that The Toddler would be shipped to Lexington, start in the Castleton Cup race and win or lose be retired. It seemed as though Stinson in- tended to keep his word, but evident- ly he figured that the horse had a lot of good races left in him, so he put him into training again this spring. The speedball king of pitchers, Walter Johnson, is 37 years of age. Fans are pulling for Washington to win this year so Johnson cau pitch a world series game. Startling Mileage with Low First Cost ens r : TENNIS TALKS "By Mercer Beasley So "Target Practise" As an Aid to Ten- nis Skill People have marveled at the won- derful accuracy displayed by Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen, who resigns su- preme in the tennis world inhabited by the women. This brilliant player can hit a given spot on the court time after time, ! I wonder if it is generally known that it was a.case of very hard work along a simple plan that gave the French girl this incomparable con- trol of the ball? The early training of Mlle. Leng- len began with a court marked off into squares, or divisions, about a meter square. Into these squares she was taught to place the ball. Her father directed the campaign. What was the result? At 14 Su- zanne won the' championship of Paris. From that time on her game improved in the fine details but its main foundation was builded on sim- ple accuracy. This method of marking off the court is really a great help in show- ing a player just how wild he is, and, of course, it gives a player, prac- ticing, something to shoot at. In teaching tennis to the begin- ners, the court marked out into di- visions with a number for each di- vision, is proving a great help. The method is simple, just rally a bit with the player who is testing his accuracy and call the "pocket," or rather the square. If he is to shoot | the ball into No, 4 division call it, | and he tries to do so. Soon a tally can be made of how far the balls are going wild, and then the cause can be rectified. You will be surprised if you make this test, it looks so easy. I do not advocate that each division be of the same size, for my own use 1 have them all sizes from six feet square to the full service court. I] have six numbers for the players to | shoot at. T use only one side of the court, ASEBAL SCORES WEDNESDAY'S SCORES, National League. Boston 6; Pittsburg 3. Cincinnati 6; Philadelphia 3 American League. Chicago 8; New York 6. .

BY JOE WILLIAMS. Walter Hagen, the fighting Dempsey of the golf links, won the British open championship in 1922 with a score of 300. Last year he missed re- peating by the breathless margin of a single stroke, finishing with 29% to Arthur Havers' 295, This year iagen has just won the event for the second time with a total of 301.™ Twice @ winner and once a runner-up in three starts constitutes a com- petitive record that probably will stand for years. The reformed taxi- dermist of Rochester has ample reason to be proud, happy and contented. ! «8» Still he must look back on his one-stroke failure of last summer with many poignant memories. Two championships in three years is a remark- able record, but three in three! : 5 And if Hagen had played a dinky little par 3 hole, only 130 yards long, in anything like expert style, he would have won the tournament. Havers had finished his final round with a 76. Hagen thus needed a 75 to tie or a 74 to win. He started out beautifully, playing the first seven holes in even 4s. The immense gallery deserted Kirkwood, Smith and Whitcombe, other! possible contenders, and swarmed over to Hagen, sensing a triumphant crusade. * The short eight, a mashie niblick shot to a spacious, well-trapped green, looked innocent enough. It had been easy for the American throughout the tournament and he had got his earlier 3s without undue effort. This time, however, he faltered. His ball was-short and found a trap to the left. In attempting to play out Hagen overshot and the ball rolled into a trap on the opposite side of the green. Before he holed out he had dropped two precious strokes to par and these two strokes happened to be the margin by which he was beaten. The short eighth at Sandwich ! forget. ' - . . That's one hole Hagen will never ¥ | for next season already LITTLE JOE { Mack seems determined to give the t=tt-t-t-tttutetutmt-tmamintne-d | place ball club money can buy.
