What change, if any, has been made by the rules committee rela- tive to what a substitute pitcher must do before he can be rémoved from the game? -- By the addition of six words to section 3 of rule 33 al chance for argument in this situation has been eliminated. The old rule said when a relief pitcher was gent in he had to pitch until the batsman was either retired or reached first. In a certain major league game sev eral years ago, with the bases filled and two out, the manager of the team in the field sent in a relief pitcher. After throwing one ball to the batsman he caught the runner on first napping, retiring the side. In the next half inning the man- ager desired to send im a pinch-hit- ter for the pitcher who had retired the side by catching the runner on first napping. The opposing team contended that according to the rules he couldn't be removed since he had not pitched until the batsman was retired or reached first. It was a technical question, not based on common sense, but to avoid it coming up again the rule now reads, in addition to-the old wording, these six words, "Or the side has been retired." [ weero GOLF HINTS v . By Jim Barnes. The golf stroke nowadays is cer- tainly a good 'healthy "wallop." But there is this to be remembered. You have to learn to walk before you learn fo run. And the player who has not yet gained mastery over the swing must guard against a good many things, one of the most trouble- some of which is faulty body action. One of the com: faults that the high-handica rs have to contend with is hitting too soon, and by that I mean making too early an into the stroke. el the body out of position, effort at what they call putting punch |b things 1s the | = Looking By Lillian Cannon Gris Nez, France, June 28--T will be under no illusions when the day for my altempt to swim the English Channel comes. On the' contrary, I will realize fully that the Channel is a worthy foe. I already realizé 1t, in fact. In practice swims I have felt the chill of its waters and sensed the trick- ery of its currents and tides. But I am not afraid of failure. It is 20 miles across the Chan- nel.

The Channel is treacherous--sub- ject to sudden storms and rough, bewildering changes in its flow. Careful study and preparation myst precede any attempt to con- quer it. I am going through that period of study and preparation Dow. And I am painting on my Sweater "England or bust." \ My first major task is to get scclimated. Temperature of the Chesapeake Bay waters often is as high as 70, with warm winds. At present the Channel's temper ature is 45, and the winds are bit- ter cold. But I believe they will blow me luck. the hands found ahead of the club- head, and numerous others. The object to be aimed at is t take the club back smoothly and then start it down steadily, gradu- ally increasing the speed of the club- head until it reaches the maximum Just 'as it comes into contact with the ball. : i Once you have acquired the art df doing that, you have learned to walk, You can thehi go on with the Job of gradually putting more force into the stroke. ------------------------ ~The Uncertain Sport. No sport in all the world Possessey the uncertainty of baseball. . For speed refer to the spring showing of the Athletics of 1925 against the present season. ; Last year the right-handed piteh- ers on Connie Mack's staff qarried drive made by the A's. Sam Gray won something like nine straight to 'start the season. The fine showing of "Slim" Harris made Connie Mack believe his tail pitcher had finally arrived. Eddie Rommel, ace of the staff, also pitched in his best form. "Lefty" Grove, highly touted southpaw, the pitcher Mack figured 'would supply'a pennant-punch to his club, just couldn't Bet going, | of Form. { , it is the southpaws the burden of the sensational Spring | to run true to form. Illness and injuries have periously handicapped the righthanders, Gray, Rommel and Harris. When they ar- rive the Athletics are going to be a greater menace than ever. bis ois THE DAILY BRITISH wHIG SPORTING | Lillian Intends to Win HITS AND JABS By Joo Williams.

And that reminds us, whatever has become of Firpo? " -- CLEVER BATTING. They Aren't." One of the prettiest plays in base- ball is hitting after the runner. The less lively ball in use this sea- jj son hag brought back this most in- teresting play. Its successful ex- ecution calls for a keen eye and per- fect timing by the batsman. Hitting after the runner is a sort of a delayed edition of the ordinary hit-and-rup play. When the batsman is hitting after the runner he' looks to see who is covering second on the play, then at- tempts to hit the ball through the vacated territory. : Ability to do this stunt calls for a through the open territory. |.
