Run=--8mith F ans Fifteen. After tying the score in the ninth foning, the Cifclé-Six on Friday evening won the championship of the Kingston Junior City Baseball League' and the right to enter the Ontario finals by defeating the Vie- torias in the tenth inning by 7-3. The score at the end of the ninth inning was 3-3 and in their half of the tenth, the Circle-Six staged a batting bee and put across four runs, making the score 7-3 in their favor while they held the Victorias score- ~ Jess in the last half of the tenth. It was perhaps the most exciting game of the season in the junior lea- gue and the crowd, which was the largest at a junior game this sea- son, stayed right till the last man was out. The Victorias broke through in the fourth inning and with three good hits, scored three runs, putting themselves in the lead by 3-1, the Cirecle-Six having secured one run in the second inning. The Six came closer In the sixth fining and threatened to tie up the score then but the best they could get out of it was one run and the Vics were leading the parade with a 3-2 mar- - the excitement, had been high up to that time, it was destined to 80 a great deal higher for the Vie- torias hung om to their one run lead right up until the ninth inning. Hartley, who was the first man up, gtole second and raced right for home when 8. Gibson made his error. Hartley stepped faster on the paths in thet ninth inning than he has ever been seen to do before but knowing he had the tying run with him, he raced as hard as he could and made the plate, There was some delay while the officials of the League conferred as to whether the game should go on or not, according to the standing. The League officials were hesitant about making a decision until Bill Fowler, is the vice-president of the ue came to the rescue and decided the question. The game _ Went on and with it went a victory for the Circle-Six. { They bombarded Jamieson un- - mercifully in the tenth. Smith, the first man up, hit safely and so did "Arnlel, -who followed him. Smith went to third and scored when a pitch by Jamieson struck the umpire behind the plate. Macpherson fol- lowed with a hit and Arniel register- ed and on Powell'§ sacrifice. Mae- pherson advanced and crossed over ahead of Abber Joyce who swung on the ball with a vengeance and put it down in the Park Avenue road for a beautiful home run. It was a great 'clout, far out of reach of the fielder in right garden. Joyce was accord- ed a great hand for his drive. With the Six, four runs up and only one out, Hartley breezed but Tetro hit safely and Sullivan followed with a walk, It looked as though Circle- Six would again score but Buck fin- ished by sending a fly to M. Gibson. It 'was one of 'best games of the season of anf} class ball and the youngsters fought it out all the 'way. The Circle-Six supporters got the worst shock they have experienc- od this season, when the Victorias led up to the ninth with the score of 3-2 in their favor. Even the staunchest Circle-Six fan had visions of their team being beaten by the Vies for the first time this season but their favorites came through on a batting rampage and put the game away. For nine innings it was nip and tuck baseball and sensational work was pulled at different times. S. Gibson at second base turned in his best game of the season and per- formed in great style until his one bad error came in the ninth inning which allowed the run that tied the count, to go over the platter, It up to that sine he had played. fault less ball and had grabbed off some exceptionally hard hit balls. Jamie- son was away off compared to Smith and his record was much below the Circle-Six pitcher's. Jamieson did not have the knack of fooling the Six batters as he had in the game the last time the two teams met and { he had but four strikeouts and al- lowed ten hits. Hewitt Smith turn ed in one of his best games and though the Victorias' supporters tried their hardest to get him going, he stuck right to his work and sent fifteen of the Victorias back to the bench via the strikeout route. Smith allowed but seven hits to the Vic- torias. : "Bus" Hartley In left fleld pulled off the cream play of the day. With Victorias sporting a man on base, M. Gibson clouted the ball to left field, close to the flag. Hartley made a fiying run for the ball and speared it backhand. It was a sensatipnal catch and it is hard to tell what damage the Vies might have done had he not caught the ball. The box score of the game is as follows: Victorias. AB R Albertson, ss .. Vince, M.

Y*It is much more difficult to pitch winning ball to-day than it was 10 years ago." So says "Dutch" Leonard, then the outstanding southpaw in the Ameri- can League, and still one of the best portsiders in the game." "There are many reasons for this condition," says Leonard, "not the least of course being the lively ball. "However, I feel that the practice of keeping a new ball in the game almost from beginning to end is a far greater handicap than the lively ball. "Speed isn't handicapped to any great extent by the almost constant use of new balls but the system works havoc with a pitcher who de- pends largely on a curve ball. "Granting consideration to the fact that my arm probably isn't as strong as it was 10 years ago, still} I feel that the use of so many new | balls is the cause of perhaps a 33] per cent. lessening in the effective- ness of my curve ball." - - - Leonard favors putting more old balls in play, thereby giving the pitchers a better chance, curve ball artists in particular. He feels such a scheme would greatly curtail the batting spree now on in the majors. se oo Usesof Resin. There are a great many pitchers who feel that the rulemakers should of resin. When I broke into the American League 20 years ago, it was a com- mothwpracticd'for pitchers to have a supply of resin in their hip pocket. | There was absolutely no deception | in the stunt, all pitchers resorted to| the use of resin and there never was a complaint. Dishonest, or to be more kind, | tricky pitchers, began to resort to illegal methods to fool the batters. | Doctoring the ball in an illegal man- | ner quickly grew into great popuias./ ity and batting suffered. Then came a rule that put the ban | on all forms of freak pitching, the! spitball included. The moist deliv-| ery was permitted to die a natural] death. No foreign substance could be applied to the ball. Resin Same | under that heading. 3) The ofiginal use of resin, and it was only resorted to In warm weath-| er, when the hands perspired freely, | was to better enable the pitcher to | get a purchase on the ball. Inability to use it has greatly handicapped pitching, particularly In| warm weather. Major league twirl- ers would welcome its return. . . .

Few clubs have recruit pitchers of the last few years who are delivering in the same proportion as the old- timers. Scouts raport a dearth of pitching x material in the minors.
