SPORTING INTERCOUNTY TITLE Shut Out Moscow 5-0 at In- verary on Saturday Afternoon. Wolfe Island settled the argument in the Intercounty League champion- #Eip playoff at Inverary on Saturday | afternoon when they shut out Mos- | ecw 5-0, outplaying them in every department. There were over five | hundred fans on hand in spite of the | threatening weather and these en-| a good snappy game, Odd ~ sprinkles of rain threatened to break up the battle several times but the | layers were so keen and the excite-| ment so Intense that it passed al most unnoticed. Spoor was the outstanding star for | Wolte Island, handling his position | behind the bat as few can. His gen-| eralship and brilliant work on the batters won the day for the Islanders | and Goodfriend, in the box, did everything to help him, allowing but | five hits, striking out ten and walk- ing none. LaRush was a close sec-| ond to Spoor, starting off both scor- ing rallies, one with a single and One witha home run, besides hand- ling five chances perfectly in the fleld. The veteran Billie Little put up a great game at first. "Red" Ryan, Island centre fielder, stopped a bad rally when he picked off 'Warner's tremendous drive in the eighth, LaRush"s home run was a clean one, the ball going over the centre fleld fence and giving him time to return to third and back to the plate to make sure of touching ot the red light corner. For Moscow, Young pitched a good game but was not so well handled by Warner as Goodfriend was by Spoor. "Tinner" struck out a bak- er's dozen and walked none. He was touched for eight hits, among them being a homer, two triples and a double, A single, a sacrifice and a double in the first inning accounted for two runs and a homer, two triples and a single in the sixth added the other three for the Island. Young, usually strong at the bat, falled to connect. Warner got one nice drive but was left at cecond. R. Foxton, not usually a heavy batter, made Moscow's best attempt with a triple to deep right in the fourth but . was left at third. Richardson was the leading batter for the losers, get- ting two safe ones, while Leonard, at short, and E, Holland, in centre field, did the best of the fielding work. . President Davidson and Vice-Pre- gidents Drader, Freeman and War- "ger were all present. Secretary Cos- grove is still in the Hotel Dieu Hos- + A Protest. Much to the surprise of the large €rowd of fans the Moscow team an- nounced after the game that they . Bad a protest to enter and gave it to jdent Davidson, with the neces- : fee, It claimed tliat Ryan and Bteblin, of Wolfe Island, are inelig- ible to play. The matter may be taken up at a meeting of the execu- tive shortly but will have to be fin- shed quickly as the intermediate O.B.A.A. section Is soon to start playoff games. \ 1 ' Wolfe Island.

Napanee, Aug. 18.--Tamworth baseball team defeated the Gibbard Furniture Company team of Napa- nee by a score of 8 to 5 in the sud- den death game, played in' Napanee on Saturday afternoon.

Tamworth put the game on ice in the first and second innings, scoring three runs in each, and these runs proved to be sufficient. They scor- ed again in the third and one more in the fifth. Napanee scored one run in their first and four more in the third which ended their run get- ting. Woodhouse started for Tamworth, but was derricked in the third when Napanee got to him for four runs, Stellar going to the mound. Kellar pitched nice ball throughout the rest of the game; not a run being registered off his delivery, Fraser did well for Napanee, but errors be- hind him were responsible for al the runs.

Brockville, Aug. 16.--Circle-Six of Kingston defeated the Ottawa Boys' Club here this afternoon by eight runs to two before a large crowd of spectators in the final game of best two out of three in the semi-finals of the Junior Ontario Association. The Kingston boys had the advant- age over the Ottawans after the third innings when they tied Ottawa's one run advantage and then steadily forged to the front. The O.B.C. players got their scores in the second cn hits by Kavanagh and Guflett and an error by Macpherson. Kingston started batting hard in the first inn- ings and piled up 14 hits throughout the game practically every man on the team hitting safely and in several instances for extra bases. In the base running end of the game the Circle-Six players were far the best pilfering no less than 9 bags, Lovett's steal home in the sixth innings being one of the bright features of a wel! played game. Hewitt Smith pitched for Kingston and struck out six men, walked two and allowed but three hits. He was given excellent support, only two errors being chalked up agaiast his team. Lovett and MacPherson mak- | ing fumbles on hard chances. Caron | pitched the first six innings for Ot- | tawa and put up a very good brand of mound work considering that he injured his hand early in the game while at bat and in the seventh gave way to Beauchamp. Caron struck out six, walked two and gave seven hits. While he was in the box his team-mates made their three bad er- rors. Beauchamp struck out three and walked one and was touched for seven hits. Three costly errors were made behind him. The work of H. Smith for King- ston was admirable and his support was good. Thomas, Hanrahan, Kealey and Drolet figured in the Ot- tawa errors, their throwing to: bases being off color. The teams batted as follows with Wylie, Ottawa, and Sullivan, King- ston, as umpires: : Circle-Six, AB o Noo Hoo WWD Lovett, ss .... MacPherson, 2b C. Smith, 3b .. Joyce, 1b .:... Reid; ¢f ......

Run- per dashes for home, pitcher regains ball and throws him out at the plate. What is the proper ruling?--H. F. D. 2. Batter strikes out. Starts for the bench, believing the catcher has caught the ball. Shouts: from his teammates tell him the ball has got- ten away. He has gone about 20 feet toward his bench. He starts for first and beats the threw of the catcher. Is he safe or out for rum- ning out of line?--F. D. A. 3. When is the batter automatic- ally out in strikes whether the catch- er holds the third strike or not? Why was such a rule made?--G. F. S A AI TAT i. For _wittiaws "A National League umpire who gave the decision, then reversed him- self, has in turn been reversed by President Heydler....As far as we know, this may be exactly how the original recipe for chop soy was con- Answers. ceived. 1. Pitcher in dropping the ball after starting his windup fails to de- liver same to the batsman and has made a balk. No consideration can be given the face that it was acci- dental. The runner on third, retired at the plate, is entitled to score. 2. He has such a right and is not out for running out of line, as many think. In going toward the bench he did not avoid being touched with the ball, simply making the distance to first all the longer. " 3. The batsman is automatically out on strikes if first base is occu- pied by a baserunner, and the third strike is called unless two men are already out. The rule was made to prevent the catcher from purposely dropping the ball and trying for a double play. You can appreciate the greens a whole lot better after a long siege in the rough....And this goes for life as well as golf. In just another month or so the headlines will be singing, "Cornell Outlook Gloomy," 'Yale Fears Mill- saps," "Nebraska's Hopes Shot," etc. Next to the professional optimist of the prize ring who is always con- fident of victory, the guy who pains us most is the professional pessimist of the gridiron who always expects to be defeated.

This is addressed to the many ten- nis players. The city fathers' atti: tude toward tennis has. changed sharply in recent years. You no longer have to bring ybur own nets, or chalk your own lines. In most cities the free park facilities for ten- nis are thoroughly adequate. There is no reason why you shouldn't develop a good game. And in so Hoing there is no reason why you shouldn't "learn the rules." The fact that you are playing on park courts and in matches with no great importance attached thereto is no reason why you shouldn't respect all the rules of the game, just as scrup- ulously as if you were playing in a major league championship. Time after time I have seen park players ignore foot faults, fail to change courts after the odd game, hit the fiet with the racket and make many other common violations of the rules, The bad feature Bf this is that you get in the habit of ignoring rules and when you do arrive and the city and state tournaments bec- kon you, you are sure to find yourself at a decided disadvantage. Here's"an example: A park player was entered in the city tournament. He was a good player and he fought his way into the finals, meeting a Iccal player of established prestige. They split the first two sets. The park player, in the last set, led by games, § to 4. At this point his op- ponent made a wild shot, It was headed for the back stop. The park player stuck up his hand and caught the ball. Now as the score was at deuce be- fore the ball was hit the park play- er's advantage would have been strengthened if he hadn't héedlessly caught the ball. Under the rule, of course, the point was scored against him, He had gone after the hall. "Well, we catch 'em like that in the parks," was his futile explanation. If Mr. McGraw"s baseball tourists plan to visit Australia, perhaps he had best leave Jumping Joe Dugan behind. ...Mr. McGraw might never be able to persuade him to leave the kangaroos. 'When you hear the shingled silly of to-day say, "My John's got a swell line," you find yourself guessing whether he's a football coach or a hammock Romeo, BY JOE WILLIAMS, A few days ago the writer played a round of golf with an elderly play- er who had, In his day, won sundry state and sectional championships. No longer an active tournament con- testant, he was content to play the game for recreation, yet he always kept decently close to par. We noted with wonder the ease and simplicity of his game. Advanc- ed age had taken nothing from the grace and rhythm of his strokes. Maybe the old power was no longer there, but his shots still flew from the club head with a = gratifying "click;'"" he got good distance and not once during the course of two 18-hole rounds was he in the rough. . .

And al- ways, we 'noted, he used a straight faced club, usually a putter, to roll the ball up the bank, onto the green. Naturally the conditions were fa- vorable; the sand was somewhat baked and the bunkers sloped, with no projecting hindrances at the top. Nevertheless the average player would not have used a straight faced club. He would have unsheathed a ferocious looking niblick and whang- ed away at the ball for dear lite. The average player has the notion that a niblick is the club to play in a trap, regardless of any and all con- ditions. . . . Now the niblick with its big face laid well back is a most treacherous club, Even the experts have their troubles with it. For that reason alone the struggling duffer should give pause. It is much easier to manipulate a straight faced club in a trap when conditions are favorable, noét only easier but the chances of getting bet- ter results are in your favor. Just determine how much force the shot demands and then tap the ball. The simplicity of the operation will surprise you. Likewise the re- sults. Frequently you will find your ball has stopped a few scant inches from the cup. This, of course, is not a new golf idea. It is as cold as the game itself. But for some reason or other it is not generally employed. Not by the duffers, at any raje. --- LIL IH) Spider on Ad: . The meeting of wa "ntérnational Advertising Convention brings to mind the answer w..ch Mark Twain as editor of a Missouri paper once sent a superstitious sub- scriber, who wrote to say that she had found a spider in his paper, and asked whether this was a sign of good luck. Mark Twain replied: "Finding a spider in your paper was neither good luck nor bad luck for you. The spider was merely looking over your paper to see which merchant is not advertising, 80 that he can go to that store, spin his web across the door and lead a life of . undisturbed peace ever afterward."

Two of them were doubles and one a home run, all made at opportune moments. _ Mankind are always happler for having been happy, so that if you make them happy mow, you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it.
