GUILTY OF MURDER -- I SENTENCE YOU TO BE HANGED --HAVE You Major league clubs will start the season Tuesday minus the services of many stars who have been injur- ed during the spring training season. To date thirteen players--a figure that may appeal to the well-known superstitions of the baseball players --have been injured or are the vie- tims of colds and other ailments. The latest addition to the list is Wrightstone of the Phillies, who broke his finger Thursday, and will be out for two weeks. The list of sick and alling \ players, some of whom may be able to start the sea- son, but most of whom_will be mies- ing on the opening , are Babe Ruth of the Yankees, Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers, Rabbit Maranville and Denver Grigsby of the Chicago Cubs, Hauser and Heimich of the Athletics, Summa and Knode of the Cleveland Indians, Everett Scott, the perpetual shortstop of the Yankees; Lindstrom, Frisch and Groh of the Giants. Maranaville broke a leg in training camp, Grigsby broke a collar bone, ®r broke a knee cap and is not like- ly to play again this season; Summa and Knode of the Indians suffered broken noses; Lindstrom and Frisch suffered wrenched ankles and Groh has a bad cold. Cobb has an at- tack' of the influenza and may not start the season. } Dempsey Means It. Los Angeles, Cal, April 13.--The Los Angeles Times says that Jack j Dempsey admits to his Intimate ! friends that he has retired and never will enter the prize ring again, ex- cept for charity. In sporting circles here the retine- ment of Dempsey has been accepted as a fact since shortly after his mar- riage to Estelle Taylor, motion pic- ture actress, but the heavyweight champion has not yet publicly an- nounced his withdrawal. He stated shortly before his marriage, how- ever, that he would hang up his gloves once and for all after the DIAMOND TAXI > Day and Night. Outer Station Scott injured a leg Thursday, Haus-| FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN Not so very many years ago people marvelled at the sudden turn to interest in rugby here, but they have something to marvel about now again in the great interest that has been and is being shown in softball. At a little preliminary meeting on Good Friday, over thirteen teams were ready to sign in for the season and since that time clubs have been organ- ised and they will all be entered in on Friday night at the meeting in the Y.M.C.A. at seven o'clock. It would not be surprising if there were twerity teams in the mien's section, with eight or ten in the girls' section. Talk about interest. The first thing we know, this softball game, which is not a new thing in the province by any means, but is new to this city, will be supplanting regular baseball. As one enthusiast pointed out, the ladies can play it too and, that is a big attraction. - po 3 While no definite announcement has been made on the subject, it is understood that Wallie Cusick, well-known local sport enthusiast, whose interest and support to good sport in the city in the past has always been prominent, will offer to the new softball league a trophy to be competed for by the teams in the league. Once a team--any kind of a team--gets a coach, it is good-bye fun. Because the coach is naturally thinking principally of how much credit-- or cash--he can get out of it, and he generally works his pupils so hard that they clean forget that they took up the game for pleasure--Six Bits. Amateur hockey is still being played in Pittsburgh. Those boys must be fair mad about the sport, to keep at it all these months for the pure love of the game.--Six Bits. The Oshawa ball team of the Central Ontario League had a good workout over the week-end and prospects are that Oshawa will have plenty of material for this summer. Among those out as candidates are the following: Broad, Tyson, Wwilon, Dugan, Hall, Morrison, Ward, Rowden, Jacobi, Critney, R. Fair, W. Fair, Roddick, Palmer, Dainty, Breckenbridge, Somerville. This has been a tempestuous year for Babe Ruth so far. Once he went broke in the newspapers, and there were threats that his costly limousine would be seized and he would be forced to go to the ball park daily in an insignificant eight-cylinder omnibus. Then his increasing girth caused anguish to and fro across the broad United States, and finally his latest fllness precipitated the news that he had died on the train. The Babe survived all the former {ill news with equanimity, but when he died he could not stand it any longer. Immediately a bulletin was flashed to a waiting and anxious world that he was not dead, and with this reassurance he goes on battling his rapidly mounting temperature which is now vieing with his girth for ascendancy. The Babe is never drab or ordinary, and his triumph of press agency which has always surrounded him came with his short lived demise.

Miller Huggins, Joe Dugan, Ben Paschal, Pee Wee Wanninger, John Bradley, Coach O'Leary, Secretary Mark Roth, Trainer Doc Woods and Umpire Bill McGowan were in the bus. The brakes failed at the top of the hill and the bus started backward down the steep incline. It gained momentum as it rolled and the oc- cupants saw it was a case of jump or broken necks. They dived Through the windows to safety. The bus roll- ed down to the bottom of the hill and crashed into a tree. 0. Swindon Town 2, Gharlton Ath. 2. Watford 0, Norwich City 2.

[oil INSIDE GOLF By Chester Horton Maker of 51 Golf Champions. "Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans. > The "pur down" starts with a left-arm pull, from the top of the back swing, directly toward the ball. You take off with this downward, left-arm pull by shoving the entire body forward to the left, and with all the weight transferred back to the left leg. The left leg arrests this body- forward movement and holds the body in line with the ball. Mean- time, your left-arm pull on the club- head has swept the club down and the clubhead is nearing the ball-- left arm straight, body stiffened on the left heel for the blow. Here you hold the head fixed--and come right on through with your left-arm pull. At the instant the clubhead meets the ball you will have pulled as far as'you can with the left side, and by instinct at this point, the right side moves in-automatically--you don't have to give this much attention. The main detail is, there will be a tendency to drop the right shoulder since the right side has a tendency to collapse as the clubhead meets the ball. There is a "dip" there you must look out for. Keep the right shoulder up and slam it right into the ball. Go clear through. ' Go through so hard that your right foot will drag clear over against the left one as you finish. » '! vice-president, J. E. Maloney; Elected Officers.
