And just by way of passing, it might be mentioned that they will see a real team from the Quinte City in action this time.

The height of the tee should be determined by the style of play of the individual, the lay of the land, and the kind of ball to be used, and the wind. In driving where there are few, or no obstacles, a player should use a medfm-sized tee. On a windy day, playing with the wind, A NEW AND BETTER SHEATHING ¢ "BUILD FOR WARMTH" ALLAN LUMBER CO. 'Phone 1042. Victoria Street | From third-string catcher on the Washington club to premier receiver of the St. Louis Browns was an over-night experience of Bill Hargrave last season. For several years Hargrave had done nothing in the catching In except warm up Washington pitchers. Occasionally he was pressed in service as a pinch-hitter, but only with ordinary success. § Feeling that he needed a veteran catcher to help out should Muddy Ruel be injured, Manager Stanley Harris made a trade with St. Louis for Hank Severeid, sending Hargrave to the Browns as part of the deal. It * he made the most of it. *| 50 happened that this was the big opportunity in Hargrave's career and In the minors Hargrave had been a turn hitter, batting from the right side of the plate against southpaws and vice versa. At Washingtos Ag he was prohibited from batting left-handed. He told his story to George Sisler, who told him to bat any way he pleased, just so long as he made base hits. Hargrave started batting left- handed and specialized in making home runs. He won himself a regular job. he should use a high tee and stand slightly behind the ball, this enabl- ing him to hit the ball well into the air where it will receive all the benefit of the wind. Against the wind, & low tee should be used so that the trajectory of the ball will be on a straight low line, The pitch shot is always a sale way to a green Dut the run-up is often better if you have a clear space to the green. It is also easier. In playing a run-up, faced club should be used, and throughout the back-swing and. down-swing the club-head should be kept low. . The pitch and run, a combinat! of both, is also a very useful shot but rather difficult.
