No more 'striking tesimony to the benefits of exercise in a competitive game and in partic ilar to the advan- tages of one of Canada's great winter pastimes could be oftered than the fal- towing from one of the most respected menrbers: of the, Toronto Bar: "I am a barrister and-solic itor at law.

If he weighs fifteen or twenty pounds more than'he did in Havana its all he does weigh. He could get down all'right to a good weight for fighting purposes, : J WHAT HAS BEEN DONE. w ith « Single Pitched Ball in a Base- © ball Game. The value of a single pitched ball was never better illustrated than in the following twg incidents: in game against Detroit, same years Ro Ed. Walsh, then in his prifie, was called to the mound with three men on bases and Sam Crawford -at. the bat. The 'spit ball king delivered one of his fanciest "divers," but the re- doubtable Sas caught the hall fairly on the nose of. his bat and drove it over the fénce for one of the longest home runs ever made at Detroit. We can't beat it, but we can tie it. In a game at Portsmouth, Ohio, in 1910, a relief twirler was hustled to the mound with two men on bases and none out. He pitched but a single ball, but a triple play resulted, retiring the 'side He thus received eredit" for an entide inning, but ac- tually delivered but a solitary-balk ~ 'Leading. Horses of 1017.
