WOLFE ISLAND IS DECLARED WINNER 'When Moscow Failed to Put in Appearance at Fair Grounds - Tuesday. When the Moscow team failed to -put in an eppearance at the Kingston fair grounds on Tuesday afternoon {Umpire George Sullivan declared Wolfe Island the winners 9-0 and the Kingston fans who had attended in the hope of seeing a game went home. The Wolfe Islanders, not to be robbed of some fun, stayed om the ground, picked another side from their supporters, and had a practice game, in which "Pat" James, former- ly with Tamworth, and now of Ro- chester, played shortstop for one = side. *. Thus closes the second chapter of « the controversy in the Intercounty League, Moscow went to Odessa on Saturday last and followed the same procedure, declaring themselves the winners. President D&vidson has opened a proposition to the teams to play at Inverary on Saturday next, the ac- ceptance or rejection of the proposal to be in the hands of the Sporting Editor of the Whig by tomorrow. There is a possibility that, in ans- wer to queries from the O.B.A.A. the secretary will send in the name of the Wolfe Island team as the winner of the series and that Wolfe Island will then be drawn in the playoffs. However, there is a still stronger likelihood that some arrangements will be made for a playoff, which is the best possible way out of the dif- ficulty, ' byDilly Evans. Questions, 1. First and second base are oc- cupled. Batter hits an infield fiy and is' immediately declared out by the umpire. The pitcher fields the ball half way between the pitcher's box and first base. He drops the fly ball ich the umpire has ruled an in- d fly. The runners start to advance when the fly ball is dropped by the pitcher. On recovering ball the pitcher throws wild to third and both runners score. The umpire sends runners back to their original bases. Was that the correct ruling?

In the meantime the runner on first manages to slide back into that base without being touched. He first started for second after the ball | pad been dropped, and seeing the throw to that base had him beaten, returned to first. Can a runner on first return to that base after the batter has been retired?--G, H. 8. Answers. 1. Umpire erred. The ball is al- ways in play on an infield fly. Base runners can advance at their peril | as on any other fly ball that is drop- | ped. Both runs counted. 2. When batsman is retired the force is automatically removed.

You think Howard Kinsey is good because he just beat Little Bill Johnston in the Seabright tennis singles? Well, what about Ray Casey, who beat Kinsey out on the coat? Yes what about him? The mighty Casey holds the sing- les title of the state of Washington and British Columbia. He is a southpaw and is the master of a terrific service.

Here are a few hints as to how to go about it: Begin the Instruction with your pupil in the driver's position of the car at rest,~with its rear wheels Jacked up and familiarize him with ¢ 'latch, brake and throttle operation and the shifting of gears. Tell him eomething about the "why" of things ds well as the "how". Have him rcad over carefully the instruc tion book of the car, the state automobile laws and tha local regulations, if any. When it comes to actual practice on the highway, select a road which is little frequented and a time when there is little trafic. It is found that a person who has ridden a bicycle generally has little or no trouble in steering a car, except when backing. Assuming the car to "be of the sliding gear type, the following suggestions apply: Begin by telling the pupil not to tquch the accelerator, but to regulate speed by the hand throttle, for the reason that by so doing, the instructor, in the right front seat, can then always shut off the gas if the pupil fails to do so, and thus forestall accidents. Be sure that the hand brake is working powerfully, for by using this and the hand throttle the in. structor can always stop the car promptly, no matter how rattled the pupil becomes. The first and most important thing to make the pupil practice is the act of stopping, by simultaneously pushing both clutch and brake pedals forcibly forward. that the pupil does it infallibly upon When this is learned so thoroughly the order to stop, nothing very bad is likely to happen. Keep making him start and stop on sudden order until he can "do it in his sleep," keeping on low gear for a considerable period, until steering, throttle control snd clutch engagement have been acquired and can be performed without hesitation by the pupil's "spinal cord". > TRANSMISSION BEARINGS MAY BE WORN car has ission.

Jimmy Manion, who béat him by an overwhelming margin in the western, is not. This may strike some ob servers as unfair. It is a little tough on the St. Louis youngster, yet Evans unquestionably deserves the position. One defeat is hardly enough to dim a record as brilliant as Chick's. Max Marston, American champion, is on the team, naturally, and Max, come to think of it, has been beaten twice in tournaments this year.
