While home runs continue to be made in the majors, the records prove the swat game is on the de- crease. If you would have proof of this fact give thought to the sacrifice hits that are daily made in the big lea- gues as you péruse the summary of the box score. Of course the new rule that per- mits the scoring of a fly ball that is caught as a sacrifice, provide a run- ner advance a base on the out, has increased the sacrifice totals, but it falls to accurately account for the greatly increased figures in this style of play. With pitching much improved, many ball games are being won by one-run margins this year, in which the sacrifice hif as & rule plays a prominent part. oy r HITS AND JABS By Joe Williams, & 3 The hardest part after Marathon running, it seems to us, is trying to explain why you decided to become a Marathon runner in the first place. The only tips on the Kentucky Derby that were any good this year were the ones the visiting firemen handed to the bell hops. Mickey Walker is going to defend his title again....This is positive proof Jack Kearns has run out of perfume money. It would be easier to understand the winning streak of the Cincinnati Reds if anybody had seen Abe At- tell in the vicinity of the ball park. It will be time enough to talk about giving Ruth his walking pa- pers when the Ditchers Yuit walking him. Suzanne Lenglen's refusal to talk to American newspaper men goes to show that once in'a while the boys do get a break in their favor. GENERAL | REVIEWS SPORTING NOTES AND COMMENT | Let's hope the Weather Man deals us a winner for the important game between Victorias and Circle-Six this evening. Everybody is waiting to see the juniors clash in what is expected to be the best junior attrac- | tion of the season, and there is sure to be a great crowd on hand at the Cricket Field when the rivals cross willows. And while Circle-Siz and Victorias are arguing it out the softballers will be salting away three more games. The Dry Goods have not been defeated yet, but Rotary claim they have got to break into the winning column and it might as well be against the Dry Goods as anybody. § Rotary will be without the services of Jack Derry, as he will be with the |} Circle-8Six. ntti.

By Bobby Cruickshank. The height of the tee should be de- termined by the style of play of the individual, the lay of the land, and kind of ball to be used, and the wind. In driving where there are few, or no obstacles, a player should use a medium-sized tee. On a windy day, playing with the wind, he should use a high tee and stand slightly behind the ball, this enabling him to hit the ball well into the air where it will receive all the benefit of the wind. Against the wind, a low tee should be used so that the trajectory of the ball will be on a straight low line. The pitch shot is always a safe way to a green but the run-up is often better if you have a clear space to the green. It is also easier. In playing a run-up, a straight- faced club should be used, and throughout the back-swing and down-swing the club-head should be kept low. The pitch and run, a combination of both, is also a very useful shot but rather difficult. GOLF POPULARITY. Recently someone asked why golf was 80 immensely popular with ma- Jor league ball players. The answer was that that the two games had something In common, particularly as to the desire to get! distance to the drives. "It's the long game that appealr to me in golf. I like to hit them @¢ mile from the tee. It's a grea! thriln" lt z That in substance was the repl: wn --~--. ers to whom the questfon was put. "gay, 1 get about as much pleas ure out of driving a long ball from the tee in golf as I do hitting a home run in baseball," was Babe Ruth's reply. It's the long driving in golf that makes the game sO popular with major league ball players. That's the big appeal. Not a single player said he cared for the short game and all admitted their weakness was on the greens. BASEBALL PROBLEMS By Billy Evans. : 3 What happens when batsman, in trying to dodge a wildly pitched ball, has it come into contact with his bat, a fair ball resulting? In all such situations whatever happens is legal. At one time, under the rules, such a play 'was regarded as a mere ac- cident, the ball being dead. Now it is considered in the same light as any other batted ball. The fact that the batter was trying to dodge a wild pitch is given no com- sideration. In the play cited above it Is simply a fair ball, ---------- GROVES GOING WELL. Connie Mack is beginning to cash in on Southpaw "Lefty" Grove. This year he is pitehing as if worth the $100,000 and a bit more the Athle- tics paid for him. Someone is responsible for a dras- tic change in his delivery and it is all for the better. Grove is pitching overhand entire- ly this year. Last year he shifted to suit his fancy between the sidearm and overhand styles. His greatest trouble was controlling his sidearm ball. In all the games Groves has work- ed this year he has used nothing but the overhand style and, as a result, his control has improved at least 50 ner cent. Another change in Proves style from that of last yedr is a near-stop 4% he reaches the top of his swing, 'natead of a quick follow through as formerly used. : This also appears to have greatly helped his control. That is all he 1eeded. for he has always had plenty of stuff. Grove should win a lot of ball -ames for Mack this summer. that was received from all the play {eipful golf hints THE REFEREE Howmany times did Kaplan and |} Herman fight last year and what were the results?--F.

Major League pennants are won on October percentages, rather than those of May and June. With one month of the season completed, the club standings of the two major leagues reveal some in- teresting facts. ; In the American League three clubs picked by a majority of the experts for first division berths were trailing dlong in the second section. The clubs referred to are the Ath- leties, Detroit and St. Louis. In the National League New York and Pittsburgh, generally picked as the outstanding teams, were running fourth and fifth. The biggest shock was the reversal of form shown by the St. Louis Browns, who held down last place. Joyoevillites Remove to Kingston.
