Every one has geen, tee shots topped or half top- ped run through bunkers and traps and come out on the fairway." "I'm sold on the lighter ball," sald Sweetser. "It is a much better ball to play to the green and on the green. Furthermore, being larger, it is far easier to get hold of on the fairways. That fact will, I think, do much to counteract the loss of dis- tance off the tees. With the present 162-1.62 ball, playing from a close lle, it is' often necessary to use an iron for the second shot when the hole really calls for a wood. Tae result is that the player does not get home, which he might do if he felt that he was certain of getting hold of the ball with a wooden club. The bigger ball is easier by far to get hold of with a brassie or spoon and consequently it is possible to make up whatever distance is lost on the tee shot by using a wooden club for the second shot. "The main point in favor of the lighter ball is, I think, its action oa approach shots. With the 1.62 ball ft is oftentimes necessary to play short, especially when the pins ara placed at the back of the greens, as they often are, to avoid trouble. You can go for the pin with the 1.55-1.68 ball and feel certain that the ball will stay in about the place you in- tend it to stay. It enables you to play boldly for the pin, which, after all, is the thing to do. I feel that it places far greater premium on skill than does the present ball." Do You Know Baseball ?

A balk rests entirely with the judgment of the umpire. There :s no necessity or reason for an ap- peal, although the team at bat often raises the claim. 3. If does. The batsman receiv- ed a base on balls, with bases filled. That entitled him to first and al! runners to advance a base.

Colling, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Colling, Belleyille, is now officiating as umpire in the New York-Penngylvania baseball league, the league in which Jack Williams, former star port sider with the Belle- ville Grand Trunks, is now pitching with the Binghampton club. Ken, who is well known, and who officiated very capably as umpire in the Central Ontario baseball league last season is doing well at his new duties according to advices received having umpired his first game there on May 6th, at Almirya. Players of this league are old time big leaguers and recruits in- the-making for the Major or Interna- tional league and snappy ball is wit- nessed at every game. Ken's many Belleville friends will regret that he is not performing his services in this league this season, but nevertheless will be glad to know that he is giving satisfaction in the U.S.A. ------ The rugby experts of the Paris newspapers all protested Monday against the hooting of the United States team by the spectators in their Olympic games at the Colombes Stad- fum, in which they defeated Ru- mania 37 to 0, thus winning the right to meet France in the final next Sunday.

COBB MAY RETIRE, On Completion of His Twentieth Sea- | son in Majors. Detroit, May 15.--While no de-; finite announcement has been made, it is understood that this year will he Cobb's last season as a regular player. Cobb came to the Detroit club in 1907. At the close of this season he will have finished his twentieth sea- son as one of the shining lights of the American League. Last season Cobb slowed up con- siderably. It was, generally notice- able. Cobb, himself, admitted that he no longer was a speed merchant on the paths. He lost at least 20 hits last year he would have easily beaten out 10 years ago. Cobb is proud of his great record, as well he should be. He frankly admits that he never wants his play to slip so much that the crowd starts to boo him. He recalls that Lajoie and Wagner suffered such a fate in the final stages of their big league career. "Nothing like that for me," says Cobb, "When I gee that I am a has- been, it's a seat on the bench for me." Cobb says the thought of perma- nently retiring is still some years distant, but instead of a regular he will probably play utility roles at the close of 1924. The present year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Maryland Hunt Cup steeplechase, the most famous cross-country jumping race in America. \ Bid § hopes for the American below did good work in the star third baseman, and tat tsa THE NUT CRACKER By Joe Williams --_-- The hot summer days have their compensation. . . .

Babe Ruth is going to be a farmer when he quits the game. . . . Well, none of the pitchers have been able to make a hick out of him yet. It is said that Young Stribling learned to fight by watching the movies. . . . And yet we have never seen him throw a custard pile. Run everything out is a baseball preachment. . . .
