BILL TILDEN STILL WEARING TENNIS FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN This evening at the Cricket Field the Shamrocks and the Victorias will provide the baseball entertainment. This meeting should be produc- tive of some good baseball. On Friday evening the Brockville intermediates will be the guests ot the Kingston intermediates in a St. Lawrence League fixture. The Brock- ville team is going strong and should be able to put up another good exhibition. ~ , t's a long way to the end of the month and the game between Circle-Six and Victorias again. The baseball fans are eagerly awaiting the next game between these two teams. It is yet unknown if Reid or Lovett will be back in the lineup with the Circle-8ix for the clash with the Victorias, but it is expected they will be. Should these two be back on the job again, the Circle-Six should have no more trouble in disposing of the Red Caps than they had when these stars were on the Six lineup. Buck is back in the city and will take his place again on the team. The Dominion Lawn Bowling tournament is to be held in Toronto from August 17th to the 22nd for the Dominion Trophy, Ontario Cup and Toronto Cup.

The manager of the team in fleld substitutes a southpaw twirler to © pitch to a dangerous left-handed batsman, sent in as pinch-hitter. The manager of the team at the bat immediately withdraws the left- handed batter and sends in a right- handed hitter to match wits with the substituted left-handed pitcher. © The manager of the team in the ~ fleld then desires to remove the pitcher he just sent in as a relief man, in order that he be able to use a right-handed pitcher. = There is much argument over the rights of the two managers in re- spect to substituting pinch-pitchers and batters. What are they? The Answer. ' Me is always possible for the team in the fleld to substitute a pitcher, 'but the relief pitcher must pitch un- #il one batter is either rétired or reaches first base. This rule was put in the code in order to prevent managers from de- laying the game to accomplish cer- tain results by announcing relief pitchers they had no intention of us- ing. The manager of the team at bat always has the right to remove the batter at his discretion. He has no limitations in this respect.

His name has be- come synonymous with the game it- self, and is as much of a household word as John McGraw, Willie Hoppe, the Smith Brothers or Mary /Pick- ford. If anybody is going to knock off his crown it probably will be Vin- cent Richards or Alomzo, the Span- ish net artist. Tilden himself mod- estly says that the Spaniard is the greatest tennis player in the world to-day. THE REFEREE Who was British amateur golf champion in 1927?--S8. 8, 8. BE. W. E. Holderness.

About the first outcome as affecting the Ontario Commission was a totally inexcusable act on the part of the New York Commission, which coolly ignored the Ontario body's rulings. The other day in Philadelphia Tommy Loughran and Jack Delaney boxed ten fast rounds. The two judges were opposed in their decisions, and the referee gave the verdict to Delaney. C. F. White of the Pennsylvania Commission, a spectator, announced an hour later that he had overridden the referee and made the contest a draw. The New York Commission specifically instructed promoters not to negotiate with Dempsey on his arrival from Europe until he had reported to the Commission. Tex Rickard brazenly ignored the instructions, and got an undertaking from the champion to meet Wills, which the Commission tentatively endorsed. Dempsey has made his peace with the New York body, but Kearns has not done so, and, in view of the strained relations between Dempsey and his manager, who has a contract which runs to September 1st, 1926, may not do so. Then what ? The vacillating Commission may decide to go ahead with the Wills-Dempsey bout, anyway.--Toronto Globe. ~ "hr NAPANEE BALL TEAM " DEFEATED GANANOQUE By Score of 5 to 3 In a Game Played on Wednesday Afternoon. Billy Evans Says The Lively Ball. Not only is the lively ball now in use in the major leagues making for more home runs, but it is also estab- combination. The Yankees were losing regular- ly and although Scott was in the best of shape he was removed and young Wanninger substituted. The second day after Scott was taken out, he suffered an injury to his thumb in practice that prevented him from doing any work for a week. During Scott's long consecutive | streak he was apparently immune from injuries, only to immediately injure the thumb on his throwing | hand after being relegated to the bench.

The Torotto Globe Says: "According to ,Kingston advices, the Qdeen's University football team will adhere to its determination not to play in the national semi-finals should it succeed in again winning the Intercollegiate title this year. It will be recalled that in 1923 and 1924 serious objection was raised to the Tricolor going into the national play-offs, for the reason that teo much time was being lost from aca- demic pursuits by the players, and that the absorbing interest in foot- ball was having the effect of inter- rupting and disorganizing the work of the student body over too pro- | tracted a period. It cannot be sald that the champion teams in the Tri. color jerseys of Queen's have been altogether a liability to the univer. sity. There is something to be said for the _ advertising value of a nas tional title winner, and for the rev- enue produced for the purposes of the Athletic Board of Control.

Napanee, July 23.--A well-con- tested game in the second half of the schedule of the St. Lawrence Baseball League, between Gana- noque and Napanee, was played at the Driving Park here yesterday af- lishing a high-water mak for in- juries as well. . Never in the history of the major leagues have so many players suf- fered minor and serious injuries. In a majority of cases the accident can says "Chick" Evans. ternoon, resulting in a score of § to 3, in favor of the Napanee team. be directly traced to the lively ball. The manufacturers say the ball is just the same as in past years. They should 'know. Major league pitchers insist the horsehide is filled with dynamite or some other high explo- sive. The other day I saw Ken Wil- liams, slugging outflelders of the St. Louis Browns, practically bunt a ball into the right fleld stands at the Yankee Stadium in New York. Only the fact that it was foul by a foot prevented the making of a home run on a ball at which Williams did- n't even take a half swing. - . - There was some fine play by both teams, and in quality of play and action, the contestants were well matched. ' The score by innings was as fol- lows: Gananoque ..011010000--3 Napanee. . .02300000x--5 The line-up follows: Gananoque--McKenzie cf; Lloyd] ss; Kenney c; Brantford 1b; O'Con- nor 2B; Bradford 3b; Squires rf; Jacques If; Cook p; McAuley p.

He start ed to swing, then realized the ball would be too low. The contact of the ball with the bat was little more than a bunt, yet it carried into the bleachers. - . * Injuries Handicap. In a game at Chicago, Pitcher Johnson of Detroit was struck in the face with a line drive. The ball came back at him so quickly he didn't have time to get hig hands up. Major league pitchers insist it was Using the open stance, the ball rhould be played off the left heel the same as with the square stance. That is for woods. With the irons and the open #tance, play the ball back some --say half way between. You do this because the stance is more open- ed for the irons than for the woods. With the wood clubs have the hands even with the ball during the ad- dress and be sure the club face is at right angles to the ball. With the irons the hands should always be slightly in advance of the ball and the club face slightly opened. Be very careful not to overdo any of these things--it is not meant that the hands be far ahead of the ball or the club face be wide open. never more difficult to be a ist ent winner.
