Waldron-- War Has Put Damper on Yachting. Things will be quiet in local yacht- ing and motor boat circles this sum- mer. So far no races have been stag- ed, and it is unlikely that any will be held, except perhaps the motor boat race for the Staples Cup, which is now held by R. 8S. Waldron. Two years ago Mr. Waldron won the cup. A year ago there was no challenger, and it there is none this year he will hold the cup permanently. 'As the cup is a coveted trophy, it is unlike- ly that it will pass into Mr. Waldron's possession without a final contest, It is highly improbable, however, that there will be any yacht races. Only one Kingston yacht, the Tezpi, owned by E. C. Gildersleeve, and only about half the motor boats are in the water. The reason for this is that so many of} the members of the yacht club have/enlisted for over- seas service. At feast sixty members are now in unifgfm. Two prominent members have aiready given up their lives in defence fof the Empire, Lieut.- Col. Frank Strange and Capt George Richardson, Lieut. J. A. Dalton, one of the officials, was wounded in bat- tle. The Lakes Yacht Racing Associa- tion held no regatta last year, nor will it hold any this year. The same is true of the Toronto Yacht Club, So far only one outside boat has called at the Yacht Club dock, but it is expected that when the traffic to the Thousand Islands begins there will be plenty of boats calling. The social side will be emphasized this year. The ladies have been given the upper floor, which has been beautified and made exceedingly com" fortable. Several dances will be held this summer, and the Yacht Club will undoubtedly continue to be the Mec- ca for scores of citizens. COBB HAS A CHANCE To Establish a Baseball Record Never Approached. Ty Cobb this year has a chance to establish a baseball record which has never been even approached, and which is not likely to ever be dupli- cated. Creating records is a hobby with the Gem of Georgia. When he retires he will have as many records credited to him as Maurice McLaugh- lin has tennis cup or Walter Travis has golf trophies. Of late years, Ty has found it necessary to crack his own marks in order to find material at hand to keep him busy and out of mischief. But this record is some- thing so dazzling that if he comes through, it will be heralded-as the premier achievement of all baseball. Ty's task will be to again lead the American League in batting, total number of hits, and base running. There are critics who say he is going back. They base their assertions on the fact that Cobb started slowly this year. We'll grant that Cobb made a slow start. Then we'll call attention to that peak where he would roost if he played all the season at the gait which he has set since the season started--slump, illness and all his misfortune included. If Ty does no better for the season than he has done for the spring, he will this year score 105 runs, make 198 hits, steal 48 bases and draw 101 bases on balls. Nobody but he made more than 198 hits last year, and these other totals, except in base stealing, would have ranked him mighty high evea in a big run 'scoring season, It happens, moreover, that Cobb is leading the league as a run-scorer already, and that nobody is stealing any more bases than he is. DESPITE POOR START Cobb Now Bats Second in the Ameri- can League. Class will tell. Despite a poor start, Ty Cobb is batting second in the American League, being tied for that place with Joe Jackson, of Chi- cago. Speaker is still showing the way to the sluggers in Ban Johnson's league, and on Saturday he increased his margin over his fellow Southern- er by making five hits in as many times at bat. With this star hitting at the top of his form it is not to be wondered at that -Cleveland fs lead- ing the league. It was a lucky day for the Indians, and a corresponding- ly unlucky one for Boston when President Lannin made his sensa- tional deal. f Players' Alibis When outfielder drops a fly--bad 8 When the batter strikes out--he crossed me. When the infielder muffs a ground- er--it took a bad hop. Pitcher (when the batter hits a home run)--that"s the first time he ever hit a fast one on the inside. 1850 each, 2 for 30c. Ask your dealer The Chicago White Sox have a new outfielder. He is Clarence Parker, who hails fromr a college at Dubuque. Last Fall he had a work-out or two with St. Louis Browns. Pitcher Joe Bush of the Athletics broke his own winning streak with a wild pitch in the game against Cleve- land May 24. The miscue gave. the Indians a 5 to 4 victory. Up to that time Bush had won six straight. Armando Marsans is sivalling Er- nie Johnson as one ex-Fed. who is good enpugh to play major league ball. Marsans has been climbing rapidly in his hitting, and his rielding is a big improvement over what it was a month ago. The Detroit Tigers lost nine games out of twelve played on the Atlantic seaboard and eight of the nine de- feats came in a row. It is the worst record ever made by a Detroit team in the east, say the historians. A lot of admirers of Lona Cy Wil- liams are taking advantage of the 'chance to remind Joe Tinker that Cy was one of the Cubs he said would not be strong enough for his new Cubwhale combination. Three home runs in four days and a three-bagger with the bases full on the day he didn't make a homer was part of Williams' record last week. They are complaining about the work of Bob Emslie, alleging that he can't see the plays on the bases and guesses them 'wrong most of the time. But that's nothing. Twenty years ago they were saying Bob's fail- ing eyesight untitted him for the dut- ies of an umpire, and yet an oculist told him a year or so ago that he never saw such a sharp pair of eyes. THE FEDERAL LEAGUE MYTH IS EXPLODED. Former Outlaw Stars Fail to Make Good in the Majors. By the time this baseball season is 'half ended, the parade of former Federals from major league cities to minor league towns. will be an im- pressive one. The Southern League alone has secured enough players who were on the independent circuit last season to make it necessary to hire a very large hall should they ever undertake to hold a reunion. Latest among those who went from the majors to the Fed.,, and who now are being sent to the minors, are Doolan, shortstop, and Yerkes, third baseman, of the Chicago Cubs. They haVe been sold to Atlanta. This is interesting news, especially in the case of Yerkes. He was form- erly with the Boston Red Sox, and was told to pack his grip and go; when President Lannin found him flirting with the Feds, the Boston owner refusing to enter any bidding contest. Yerkes went to Pittsburg and, with loud acclaim it war herald- ed by the deluded Fed fanatics of that town that his coming had rounded *out the fastest infield in baseball. This was funny to Ameri- can League writers. Doolan, of course, was pretty near due to dis- appear from the big show, anyway. | Main interest in his departure is that Tinker, like Fielder Jones, was as badly fooled as to the strength of the Feds as were the league's fans. FAT PLAYERS LEAD In the Baseball Leagues--The Proof is Given, Maybe it is so that nobody loves a fat man, but a glimpse at the man- agers who are piloting the clubs that lead the major leagues doesn't prove it. In the National League the fatter they are this month, the higher they got, There's Wilbert Robinson lead- ing the Dodgers. He's the most ro- tund person in baseball. Not far be- hind is John McGraw, and sure en- ough his Giants are in second place. Then in third place is Pat Moran and his Phillies. The dope runs true'in the American League. Lee Mohl's Indians are leading the way, and Lee weighs more than any other man- ager in the circuit, ' Bill Donovan is getting very fat, and second place is his reward. In last place is Connie Mack, the string bean of the baseball chieftains, THERE ARE 370 PLAYERS In the National and American Base- ball Leagues. There are now 200 ball players in the American League and 170 in the National---the total list being 370. From this number exactly 21 have been is the main circle for ten years or more. Of the 370 or thereabouts who were in the big leagues ten seasons back about 350 have dropped away. Of the 21 veterans left the No- tional League has 15 while the Amer- ican League has but 6, or about 3 per cent. who have seen ten years of major league service.

Eddie Collins . -- PITCHER THAT CONNIE MACK EVER DEVELOPED, He Pitches With No Effort and Has Won Out With the Best Pitchers of Rival Teams, "1 consider Elmer Myers the great- est pitcher I have developed during my fifteen years' connection with the Athletics. He is a great pitcher, be- cause he has everything Plank and Bender were in their prime, and I consider that trio a most wonderful collection of twirlers. My- ers is a great pitcher, because he has everything with the possible excep- tion of the co of a Bender, but he is fast acquiring that." Such is the glowing tribute Connie Mack' recently paid his latest senga- tion. Elmer Myers, of York Springs, Pa. Myers Is a twirler built on the Jack Coombs style, tall andgaunt, yet boasting a broad pair of shoulders. Possibly he is-a trifle taller than Coombs. He has a long pair of arms and an easy, sweeping style of de- livery. He pitches with no effort, One mo- ment he pitches with a long wind-up, the next ball he delivers may come with the wind-up cut in half. In such cases, the ball is on the batter before he realizes it, as he usually figures on the long wind-up. He has plenty of speed, a fast and slow curve, and best of all, a pretty fair change of pace, which is bound to grow better as he gains experience. Mack has not picked any soft spots | for the youngster; in fact, he has stacked him up against the very best opposition could offer. He beat Washington with Johnson up, down- ed Detroit with Covaleski pitching, got his bracket over St. Louis with Plank on the mound, and beat Chi- cago with Faber opposing him, Keep your eye on young Myers, of York Springs, Pa. "SINC" McEVENUE Has Been Recommended for Rank of : Captain, "Lieut. "Sinc" McEvenue has been recommended for the rank of captain, and will in all probability be placed as second in command of "C" com- pany, which is the sportsman's com- pany of the Irish Canadian Rangers. Sinclair McEvenue is one of the best known athletes who has ever graduated from McGill University. He captained the champion Rugby team when they won the title from 'Varsity team, and for two or three seasons played the position of quar- ter back. He afterwards was chosen as honorary coach of the Montreal team, and later on became honorary coach of the Argonauts, of Toronto. Victim of Tuberculosis.
