INSIDE GOLF By Chester Horton Maker of B51 Golf Champions. "Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans. START BACK FROM THE BALL Frequent mention is made In these articles of the slow start in the back swing and of the necessity for relax- ation during the address for the rea- son that my experience with thous- ands of players has revealed that here are the two great fundamentals of the game. The golf swing is very easy of accomplishment and the player who learns to relax himself and start slowly and easy, has it. All good players have these two charac- teristics in common. The par shoot- er may appear to start quickly away from the ball in his_back swing, but be doesn't, Only the trained eye can observe thatithis initial move- ment away from the ball is always slow, He speeds up quickly after that, but ask him, and he will tell you to start slowly. OUT FOR A MONTH. Babe Ruth Will Not Leavé Hospital for Some Time. New York, April 29.--How long it will be before "Babe'" Ruth will re- join the New York team remains a question of some doubt, but he will play baseball again, according to a statement by his physician, Dr. Ed- ward King. Reports and rumors have been whispered about the country that the master hitter never again would be able to swing a bat, that his base- ball days were over, and that the true nature of his illness was being kept secret, but Dr. King said that these reports were absolutely with- out foundation, and that nothing had been hidden. "Ruth probably will be in the hos- pital two or perhaps three weeks more," said Dr. King. "After that it will be a question of time before he will be able to play baseball. Some persons recover more quickly than others from influenza and run- down condition, and it depends on how soon he gains his strength, which may be a month. He is mak- ing satisfactory progress at the pre- sent time, and I see mo reason for any complications to retard his re- covery. Nothing that I know of could cause Ruth to retire from baseball or to' stop playing the game." Con ionen Will Decide. New Ydrk, April 29.--Jack Demp- sey referred the New York State Athletic Commission to Jack Kearns, his manager, for its answer to the question of whether he was ready to box Harry Wills, his negro chal- lenger, Paying a friendly call on the body which a few weeks ago declared him ineligible to box in this State because be had failed satisfactorily to ans- wer Wills' formal challenge, the heavyweight champion was ques- tioned briefly as to the possibility of a Wills' bout. To each query he re- plied: « "Jack Kearns is my manager." FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN The St. Lawrence Baseball league got away to a flying start at the first meeting Tuesday night. good support. Let's hope they keep it up and are given The idea of forming a junior baseball dgague, consisting of Brock- ville, Gananoque and Circle-Six is a good one and should be given as much support as possible. i Major McKenzie was at the meeting of the St. Lawrence League Tues- day night, representing Gananoque. The major is as much interested in baseball as ever and intends having a team this year that will be hard to beat. "Jimmy" Kane sure is a popular man in baseball circles. Although "Jimmy" stated that he was through with baseball, he was forced to ac- cept the position of president in the newly formed St. Lawrence League. -- In speaking at the St. Lawrence League meeting Tuesday night, snany the City League. ball circles, Nothing has happened in C.0.B.L. circles in about a week. lull comes the storm. 'complimentary remarks were made about Mr. Buffam, past secretary of Kingston feels keenly the loss of such a man in base- After the If the nice weather keeps up' the diamonds at the Cricket Field and Fair Grounds ought to be in good shape for Kingston's practice Saturday. Now that Brockville is out of the Ottawa Valley League, it looks as if it is finished. Brockville was the mainstay of the league, which can hardly be run without it. PLAYER LOANED TO TORONTO. Andy Harrington, Detroit Tigers, to Play With Toronto Leafs. Detroit, April 29.--Andy Harring- ton, the sensational young infielder secured from St. Mary's College, California, last fall by Detroit, is go- ing to finish the season with the To- ronto Ball Club, despite predictions made by the local writers in the spring training season that he was too good a player to be let out to the minors this season. He will leave here to-morrow to join the Toronto club. Manager Howley and Bill O'Hara were greatly taken with the playing of Harrington in the games down south, the latter stating that Har- rington was one of the best young players he ever cast an eye on. He is a right-hand batter and his posi- tion is shortstop, although just where Manager Howley will play him is not known. Howley has been very sweet on the player and laid his plans during the spring training trip to secure him if possible, but early last night was not aware that Detroit had decided to turn him over for a year's seasoning in the Inter- national League. The comidg of Harrington gives the Leafs twenty. two players. TORONTO WON OPENER. Defeated Baltimore by a Score of 6 to 4 on Wednesday.

HOCKEY FOR SEATTLE. -- To Play in Pacific Coast League and Be Seattle Control. Seattle, Wash.,, April 29.--The popular winter sport of ice hockey wijl come back into its own 'in Seat- tie as a result of the approval of the civic auditorium plans by the Cham- ber of Commerce to-day. A team owned and controlled by Seattle capital will represent this city in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association race, as soon as the auditorium can be completed. That William J. Coyle has an option on the franchise and expects to operate a team, was announced to- day. = "If things are arranged so I can get action on my franchise, Seattle will have a sextette on the ice this season," Coyle sald. "And it will be a team owned by Seattle men, for Lester Patgick's interest will be taken over by local business men." This statement was the only one Coyle would make at this time. If a league is formed thers is a chance that Portland, Victoria and Vancouver will enter teams. There is also a probability that the circuit may be enlarged to six teams, with two Canadian cities, possibly Saska- toon\and Regina, in the circuft. But things point to the formation of a four-team circuit. -------- Miss Kane Will Come. London, April 29.--The Daily Telegraph says the British women's lawn tennis team, which is to go to the United States for the interna- tional Wightman Cup matches and the Women's National Championship tournament will include Miss Kath- leen McKane, British champion.
