THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG TUESDAY, MAY 90, 1094. SPORTING SUBSCRIPTIONS OPEN FOR OLYNPIC SAILORS Committee Appealing for Aid That Canada May Be Re- presented on 8eine The following letter has been re-| ceived from the Ontario Committee Governing Olympic yachting trials and is self-explanatory. Subscrip- tions will be gladly received at the British Whig Office and will be for- warded to the committee, Donations will be acknowledged as received: -- Toronto, May 16.-- (Sporting Edi- tor): It has been decided by the Lake Yacht Racing Association and the Lake Skiff Sailing Association, | the bodies governing yachting on Lake Ontario, to enter a contestant in the trial races to select a Canadian representative in the Single Handed Yachting Contest of the Olympic to be held on the River Sefne, Paris, July 20th to 27th, 1924. A committee composed of the fol- lowing has been appointed by the two associations above referred to to handle the affairs as far as Ontario is concerned: Major Windeyer, R.C. ¥.C.. T. K. Wade, R.C.Y.C., R. A. Farquharson, Q.C.Y.C., W. Ewing, Q.C.Y.C.,, A. P. Inglis, N.Y.C.,, T. G. Corbridge, T.C.C. This committee met and decided to invite Commodore George H. Gooderham of the R.C.Y.C. to accept the chairmanship of this committee. The problem facing the committee is that of finance as the Canadian re- presentative will be under an expense of approximately $1,500 and this amount it is hoped will be raised through public subscription. It is widely felt that with the ex- ception of hockey, there is no line of sport at the Olympic in which Canada would have so great a chance of winning, and particularly Ontario which is the centre of small boat boat sailing in Canada and whose sallors have demonstrated their abil- ity time and time again to hold their own and win against the best in Unit- ed States and elsewhere. In order that the best man be selected and that the choice be not narrowed down to those who are fortun- ate enough to be able to pay their own expenses, it has been decided to give all an equal chance to represent Canada so that sailing efficiency and that alone shall be the deciding fac- tor. Knowing the sentiments of your paper and also that of the Canadian pubHe, the committee has no hesit- ancy in asking you to publish this letter and open a subscription list to defray the expenses of the chosen re- presentative whoever he may be, with the firm belief that the call will be generously responded to. The Canadian Olympic committee will be responsible for all moneys re- ceived for this purpose and will care- fully oversee and account for all -- ------ HOTEL In Public Service Since 1784. M.

The working of selecting the Cana- dian representative {s well under way and it is hoped that no time will be lost in completing the subscriptions, bearing in mind that our representa- tive will be called upon to embark for France not later than June 25th, Further information will be sup- plied you as to time and place of holding the Ontario trials at Toronto so that you may keep your readers and subscribers informed.

If in swinging at a third strike, the ball touches the person of the batsman and goes !o the grandstand, what happens?--B, J. 2. Have base runners the right to advance at their peril on such a play?----K. M. L. 3. Does the infleld fly rule apply with a runner on first base and less than two out?--J. H. 4. How does the umpire determine the distance between the shoulder and the knee in calling a strike? Does he have an imaginary line to judge by? 'When a player crouches, how does he determine what is the proper helght?--F. P. A. 65. When a foul ball is hit, must | | a base runner return to his base | prior to the next pitch?--J. H. C. {| 6. If a batter is hit by a pitched | ball, walks or sacrifices a runner, is { he charged with a time at bat?--Ww. | E. Answers, 1. If, while attempting a third strike, the ball touch any part of the batsman's person he is out. 2. Base runner cannot advance on a missed third strike which comes | Into contact with the batsman's per- | son, the ball becoming "dead. 3. The infield fly rule does not ap- | ply with a runner on first only. There | must be runners on first and second, | or first, second and third and less | than two out. | 4, In judging the distance between | the knee and shoulder, major league | umpires always take into considera- | tion the batter's stance, If a batter naturally hits from a crouch posi- tion, that perhaps lowers his shoul- der line several inches, the umpire regards the height of his shoulder when in a crouch position, as the proper line, rather than where it would be if he stood up straight. If | in a pinch a player purposely | crouches with a hope of deceiving the umpire, the official renders his decision based on the batter's height if he had stood in his usual position at the plate. 5. The base runner is supposed to return. Often the umpire starts play when he is a few feet away in an effort to hurry matters. The umpire after a foul never should start play until the runners are satisfactorily placed. 6. In the three cases cited, the batsman is not charged with a time at bat. ome ttt 's huttonlessite * slip off and on--and 2 y cool--s0 why mot Brciarny Por Saleinover 1,500 Cenadian Stores eck I1Tin CHEST ormal 4lin edqq Biceps) 5 Forearm) 12%in / J Young Stribling as he is to- picted in shaded background. grown heavyweight, de oad - GENERA ec 16in, Wrist Tin. orearm 12% in.

Brooklyn, May 20. -- Burleigh Grimes won 21 games for Brooklyn in 1923, He was one of the dozen or 80 pitchers to get into the 20 tigure class. Incidentally he was the bast gunner on the Robinson staff. Grimes has been with the Dodgers six seasons. He came to the club from' Pittsburg in 1918. He was traded along with Ward and Mamaux for Stengel, Cutshaw and _eash. Grimes had previously be Pittsburg roster two years. In the half dozen' campaigns Grimes has - toiled for the City of Churches he has hung up an enviable record. . In three of those seasons he turn- ed in better than 20 victories, gener- ally figured as a good performance in these days of lively baseballs and * heavy hitting, { In another campaign he missed the coveted mark "by one game; in still another he was only four tilts shy. Thus in five of six seasons with Brooklyn he has either hit or came "on the, | the big noise in bringing the Dodg- ers their first pennant. He won 23 in the world series with Cleveland that fall. Grimes won one of them. Were Grimes with a one-two-three and lost 11. Brooklyn took two frays | nr -- -------- rn ern aggregation his hurling performance would be even more formidable. It would stand out to much better ad« vantage and he would doubtless rank pretty close to the top in the pitching averages. -~ STREET CAR Massey ing days Allowing ays running for 20 years. 88 PRINCESS ST.
