Golf hitherto has been popularly looked upon as an old man's game. The player, who is fortunate enough to go through a week's tournament )iteé he feels the least sure of (and in passing very few practice these in- dividual shots enough, I think), he should indulge in matches. Whether these matches should be fought strenuously or played in a leisurely fashion, is rather a moot question. I think the answer must be given by the individual himself.

Of course if a player has had very little time to practice and feels that he is not up to his form, then practice every day will, perhaps, in his case be the best course. But for a person who is on his game, two games a week should be the mini- mum, with perhaps four games as a maximum, One should not practice the wood- en shots too much, for these use up a lot of energy. Half an hour's driving is more than enough, for in this time it ie surprising the amount of energy consumed, One should practice iron shots-- not the very long ones, but the chip shots and shots of 75 yards up to 160 One can practice these for an hour or so without becoming tired. If one feels weak with any club he should take that club only and practice unti. he becomes familiar with it. Then when one has practiced with the dif- ferent clubs, and especially with the fair average, and practice here if possible. This of course is not permit- t#d in medal rounds. If this is not | possible let him carefully notice whe- ther the practice green is slow or fast and govern himself accordingly. The main point to remember in putt- ing is to hit the ball truly in a smooth, relaxed manner. One should arrange it so that he has not to stand .around waiting too long for there is nothing which is apt to get on one's nerves more than waiting with nothing to do. I think any diversion is to be recommend- ed to just standing around. Little chip shots may be indulged in with great benefit. Above all, in watches keep trying all the time, Never take anything for granted. No game is won until the last putt is sunk. Never give up. "Wha kens he may fa' doon deid," was the remonstrance of the Scotch caddie to his master who, having played sixteen odd was about to give up. It is a good fighting principle, if a little ungenerous.

McGINNITY 18 STILL GOING STRONG How many men of 49 could step out on the mound and pitch nine full innings of baseball In a professional league, even though only a minor one? And how many could perform this stunt and win? Not many, in answer to the first question. In answer to the second--Joe Me- Priacess and Wellington Sta. Phone 216. Ginnity, at any rate. Once Joe was known as the Iron Man of the New York Giants. Now he's manager and owner of the Dan- ville club of the Three-Eye League. Finding his pitching staff shot to pieces, he undertook the twirling himself, and for seyen innings held his opponents scoreless. In the eighth he weakened, allowing three runs, two of which were earned. In the ninth he tightened up again and prevented further scoring. Danville won, 5 to 3. Joe struck out three men during this performance, hit one and issu- ed one pass, pretty fair control for a man of 49. McGinnity started ball playing at Rock Island, Ill, his native town, at the age of 15. He has lived an ath- lete's life ever since, Famed though he was, in his days in the big lea- gues, for his ability to pitch "and { win double-headers, the strain never told on Joe's arm, as his present ability proves. Irregular living, not work he holds, sends men to the scrap heap. Nobody ever took bet- ter care of himself than Joe. Frank Wor at Montreal, Frank Fleming, junior lightweight champion of Canada, was awarded the judge's decision over Oscar Des- champs, French-Canadian challen- ger, in a ten-round bout at the Mount Royal Arena on Thursday. The bout, which was one of the most spectacular ever seen in this city, went the full distance. Des- champs was floored three times, but was up again immediately each BRINGING UP FATHER SPORTING I WANT TO TAKE UP, BOXING -- I'™ BECOMING MUCH TOO STOUT --- THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG.

In the seventh round the French-Canadian claimed that he had been. fouled. Examination by the doctors of the Montreal Boxing commission failed to show any trace of a foul, and the bout was allowed to proceed. Deschamps went at his man like a whirlwind, but could only rarely penetrate Fleming's de- fense. Jack Jarvis, of Toronto, welter- weight, outpointed Tommy Dwyer, of London, England, in a six-round bout. Manager 'Buzz' Wetzel, of the London, Ont., team, seems to have picked up another big league pitch- ing possibility in "Dewdrop Bill" Arndt, a youth 20 years old. discov- ered somewhere out in Ohio. In two starts this season Michigan-Ontario League teams have failed to score on Arndt. and on the second occas- ion he came close to a no-hit game as well, There seems to be plenty of pro- mising material for the Limestones in this city, and a strong team should be entered in the provincial field. The 1922 schedule card published by the Mercantile League is a very neat and handy reference for the fans to carry around. The cadets of the Royal Military College scored another success with their exhibition of mounted sports at Point Frederick on Friday.
